Your emotions could seem beyond your control today. A sense that your thoughts are subject to your heart and not your intellect may compel you to act compulsively without regard for the consequences. This might be due to an underlying feeling of anger and dissatisfaction with where you are in your life right now. You may want to increase your awareness of your emotional thought patterns today. Try to step away from your desires and take a mental inventory of your life. If you have shelter, food, income, and social support, then you should realize that there is very little to be dissatisfied with in your life. You may notice that your emotions have very little to do with your actual situation. You could find that you begin to see things for what they are and could act with greater reason as a result.

Examining our lives realistically allows us to more easily control our irrational thoughts and emotions. When we recognize that sometimes our emotions can get carried away and cause us to act impulsively, we see that we have the power to rein them in. We notice that our compulsions come from a search for satisfaction from things outside of ourselves and that we can never fill this need except from within. As we understand our thought patterns and realize that everything in our lives is as it should be, our compulsions will recede into the distance. Thinking about your emotional thought patterns rationally today will give you greater control over your impulses.
