You may be guarded in your interactions with others today. You may feel hesitant about opening your heart to a new romantic interest, or you might hold back part of yourself in an effort to blend in during group activities. Since this guardedness may be the result of feelings of vulnerability, you may find it helpful to strengthen your belief in your own resiliency today. One way to do this is by forming an inner vision of consistent empowering energy flowing to you from the universe. Imagine this energy as a brilliant golden light, filtering down through the top of your head and traveling through your mind and every cell of your body. Affirm that this light infuses you with strength and empowerment, giving you the courage to open your heart and mind to others.

With a belief in our inner strength and resiliency, we feel more comfortable about opening ourselves to others. Our fear of being hurt or rejected can often cause us to close down and guard our feelings from others, but doing so also closes us off from the intimate moments of genuine connection we can enjoy in our relationships. If we instead build up an inner belief in our resiliency and strength, we feel more confident about opening up to others. By affirming our constant connection to universal energy, we feel strengthened by the divine love that has the power to carry us through setbacks and disappointments. With a clear vision of inner strength and resiliency, you will be able to connect more confidently with others today.
