You could feel sensitive when around others today, which could make you want to remain within the comfort of your home. It may seem like you are more moody than usual. This could be a result of your feelings of vulnerability. Perhaps you may have recalled a past wound that needs tending, or you may have felt overwhelmed by life recently. You can take care of these feelings by looking after yourself. Try making this a day for you to attend to your emotions and stress. Give yourself permission to let your emotions rise and release them in whatever way seems natural, remembering that your home can be your refuge. You can take consolation in your four walls, imagining that they protect and embrace you. Feel their solidity supporting you in your journey today.

Finding solace in the familiar can help us cope with the outside world when we feel temperamental. So often we search for relief beyond our regular surroundings, such as by shopping, running errands, or being with friends. We spend time running from or avoiding what is troubling us, which leads to greater frustration. By staying in a place that feels secure and where we know there are fewer pressures, we can more easily overcome our sensitivities and hurts. Our homes are not only a source of comfort but are places where we can give ourselves the space to heal. Make it a point to spend time at home today, and you will find it easier to manage your emotions.
