You could notice that today you are not feeling as high-spirited as usual. It might be that you are experiencing a range of emotions that leave you feeling slightly ill at ease. You may want to be alone in order to recharge your spirit. Perhaps today you can work on watching your feelings as they flow by without becoming attached to them. Reminding yourself that your feelings are impermanent can help you cope with them more easily. If you still feel melancholy, you might consider trying to relax in Child's Pose, which can help you feel the security and support of the earth. To do this pose, get into a kneeling position, and then sit back on your heels. Inhale, lengthen your spine. Exhale, fold over, and bring your hands back toward your heels. You might find that this helps you release your feelings and gives you greater energy.

Watching the stream of our emotions helps us become less attached to their effects on us. We can become overwhelmed by our feelings when we feel despondent. If we learn to let our feelings glide by us, however, we realize that our feelings are never permanent. While they may seem important at the time, they do not define our lives. We may even begin to notice that sadness often is a signal for us to take a rest from the outside world and find peace within ourselves. Learning to see the changing nature of your feelings today will give you the means to cope with any uncomfortable situation that arises.
