Your experiences may be marked by feelings of restlessness today, causing you to sense that you are not deriving as much from them as you otherwise might. Personal issues can contribute to your agitation, and your reactions to outer-world stimuli may be temperamental as a result. In order to regain your internal equilibrium, you may need to retreat into a private sanctum for some time so that you can reattune yourself to your responses to your environment. You will likely feel less irritable and far calmer today once you recognize that you do not have to react peevishly to the tumultuous feelings coursing through you.

Our reactions are ours to control when we accept that the emotional responses we have to the world around us need not dictate how we choose to behave. Though the feelings that certain people, events, and situations awaken within us may be quite strong, we can channel them into a wide variety of activities. Often, it will be our most intense emotions that provide us with the impetus to move outside of our comfort zones. As we find ourselves moved to take up creative pursuits by our joy, pain, or passion, we discover that we are in possession of a deep reservoir of imagination we can draw upon when in need of inspiration. Simultaneously, we are empowered to make constructive use of our feelings regardless of the nature of the circumstances unfolding around us. You will cease to feel restless today when you acknowledge that the path you tread is yours to determine.
