You may feel out of control today as a variety of intense emotions vie for your attention. A sense of helplessness and feelings of irrepressible emotions may cause you to act without thinking. Jealousy, possessiveness, or resentment, either triggered by someone or the product of conflict within you, could put you in a negative frame of mind and dampen your spirits. You can lessen the influence your emotions have over your actions by learning to understand and manage them. You may need to address the root cause of your feelings first. If you feel like your emotions are controlling you today, enlist the help of a loved one who can help you see your situation in a more rational light.

Experiencing your emotions, without allowing them to dictate your behavior, can help you maintain an attitude of serenity in almost any situation. Our emotions can powerfully influence how we behave toward ourselves and others. Reigning in your emotional reactivity and allowing your logical mind to assert itself during challenging times can help you focus on the issue at hand rather than how that issue is making you feel. Your thoughts will remain clear and unaffected by strong feelings, so that you can judge and respond to your circumstances fairly and in a less detached manner. When you learn to feel your emotions without being swayed by them today, your calm will be unbreakable.
