You may find yourself in an irritable mood today yet wholly unable to say why you feel so glum. It may be that you are harboring feelings of resentment directed toward someone in your environment or toward a circumstance beyond your conscious control. However, far from helping you resolve your hurt, these feelings are likely simply serving as fuel for a grumpy and uneasy mood. To cheer yourself up, try taking the time you need to hone in on and address these lingering issues. You may find that once you have determined why you feel low today, it becomes easier and easier to release your negativity and once again achieve a centered state of mind.

When feelings of hurt no longer serve any practical purpose in our experience, releasing them into the ether is one of the best ways of setting ourselves free. We embark upon a new phase of our lives when we divest ourselves of emotional baggage because we are then able to employ the energy and brainpower we might otherwise have spent contemplating our pain in other areas of our existence. Whereas our inability to stop internalizing our hurt held us back, our newfound freedom practically propels us forward into the unknown. A fresh outlook on life will almost always inspire us to seek out novel experiences and educate ourselves more thoroughly. As you rid yourself of longstanding resentments today, you will feel an intense lightness of being that compels you to begin a new chapter of your life.
