If you feel particularly emotional or vulnerable today, you may take things a little too personally. In your interactions with others, you might misinterpret their motives or take criticism to heart rather than letting it roll off you. It might be helpful to focus your efforts on fostering a sense of inner peace and balance today. This can create a stronger state of mind that will help stabilize your emotions and reduce the likelihood of upsets. You might also make an effort to consciously pause for a few moments before reacting to people or situations that have the potential to upset you today. If you take the time to think first, you can avoid overreacting emotionally and instead choose the response you feel is most productive in any situation.

By choosing to develop a peaceful, detached state of mind, we can remain centered and balanced regardless of what is happening around us. Just like we have the ability to choose our physical actions, we can also choose our emotional responses. While it is natural to get frustrated from time to time, we can minimize the possibility of becoming overwhelmed and upsetting our peaceful state of mind. By considering the situation mentally before reacting, we can remember that we have the power to choose what we want to internalize and what we want to release. By choosing to develop a peaceful, balanced mind-set today, you can minimize emotional upsets and decide on the best response for each situation.
