Today can seem like an exercise in frustration as you move from obligation to obligation only to find that your efforts are met with subtle resistance. You may feel as though you have been handed the task of fitting a square peg in a round hole. However, it may be the stress you're feeling that is causing you to become agitated and overwhelmed. Consider examining your own feelings before assuming that the behavior, choices, or attitude of others are at the root of your frustrated mood. You may discover that you are overreacting to situations and difficulties easily remedied with practical thinking. As you grow more tolerant and clearheaded today, your frustration will likely melt away, leaving a strong sense of peace and tranquility in its place.

Looking within ourselves when life becomes frustrating can help us determine whether we have inadvertently contributed to our own exasperation through action, inaction, or perspective. Often, change must come from within to be effective. As we take responsibility for our feelings by examining the manner in which we react to the world, we can identify those circumstances we have the power to modify and those with which we must learn to coexist. When we change ourselves first, we will frequently discover that much of our frustration was a product of the manner in which we viewed our situations. Anxiety is eased as we adopt a more practical and tolerant mind-set. Looking within will help you regain your emotional equilibrium today when you're facing a multitude of annoyances.
