You may feel uncomfortable when interacting with others today. Your sensitivity might cause you to take things too personally and jump to conclusions, which could result in hurt feelings. Stepping back from your emotions can help you feel calmer and allow you to interact with others in more peaceful ways. You might take a few minutes by yourself to gather your thoughts and calm your emotions by visualizing yourself floating in a body of water. Feel the coolness on your skin, the tranquility in your body, and the gentle currents rocking you as they pass beneath. After just a few moments of this visualization you should feel serene and buoyant. This will have a positive effect on your interactions with others today.

Embracing thoughts of serenity allows us to take control of our emotions. We often forget that our minds have the ability to influence our emotions. When we begin to feel overly sensitive in our interactions with others, we can choose to step away and focus on becoming serene. The more we can bring a sense of calm into our conscious minds, the easier it will be for us to calm our emotions. With consistent effort, we begin to feel stronger, more stable, and blissfully at peace. This inner peace will then allow us to interact with others in calm and more productive ways. If you focus your thoughts on staying calm today, your emotions will calm down and you will be able to stay grounded and nonreactive when interacting with others.
