A wave of irritation may come over you today, leaving you feeling reactive and emotional. The deluge of feelings running through your mind can make it difficult to concentrate and to think clearly. However, you can ease the frustration you may feel as your emotions fluctuate by making a conscious effort to exist in the moment. If you can recall that what you experience in one moment will differ from the experience of the next moment, you may find it becomes easier to let go of the emotions that enter unbidden into your mind. Focusing on simple aspects of your experience today, such as the rise and fall of your breath, can help you achieve a sense of calm. Once you are more relaxed, you may find it easier to identify the source of your emotional turmoil.

Allowing your emotions to freely pass in and out of your mind can help you free yourself from the agitation caused by fluctuating feelings and regain your clarity of thought. When our emotions are chaotic, the temptation to grab hold of one out of many in order to use it as an anchor is great. But because our feelings are fluid, letting them come and go as they will allows you to acknowledge each and set it free. A momentary emotion that you have accepted will no longer bother you. As you recognize individual emotions, the burden you have carried in your mind will lighten and you'll be able to focus once again on single thoughts. Experiencing your emotions as they come today will help you release them.
