You might experience some emotional tensions with your family members or loved ones, which could leave you feeling concerned today. It may be that there is something they consistently do that troubles you, and you have finally reached the point where you need to take some action. Since interactions with loved ones tend to be emotionally charged, you might ponder what you need to say before saying it today. Perhaps ask yourself what worries you and then take time to reflect on whether your feelings are related to something your loved one has done recently or if this is an issue that is connected to a past event that is rearing its head in the present. Untangling your feelings in this way could make it easier to discern how to diffuse the tension you feel.

Taking a step back and evaluating our feelings as they relate to our loved ones allows us to better understand where our feelings are coming from. The closeness of our intimate relationships can sometimes color what is actually happening in them. It is common that our reactions in our relationships are often the result of something that is rooted in history--a problem or issue that we haven\'t fully dealt with that is triggered by an event in the present. Unraveling your feelings will make you more able to take a positive view toward and cultivate more compassion in your relationships with loved ones today.
