You may feel self-conscious today and worry that others are judging you harshly. An insensitive word or inconsiderate gesture could make you wonder what you did to deserve such treatment. If you are questioning the value of your efforts, you may react to people in a hypersensitive way. Choosing to live and abide by your standards and values can help you take what others say less personally. If you find that you are comparing yourself to others, examine your goals to ensure they are realistic. Reaffirming your commitment to your aspirations today can help you ignore what people around you are saying and doing while you concentrate on making sure that you are growing and evolving as a person.

Letting go of your need to please everyone and measure up to their standards can help you avoid being hypersensitive. When we feel an intense desire to be accepted, we can be easily hurt because we worry about how others perceive us and fear being labeled inadequate. When you can understand that there will always be people who like you as well as people who dislike you, it will be easier for you to focus on living up to your values. You will be able to interact with people without taking their words or deeds personally because you know who you are. When you judge yourself based on your standards today, you will feel good about your choices.
