Temperatures are rising in your inner world today. Power struggles and frustration may be disrupting your restful rituals. But they’re also urging you to slow down and retreat. So take a time-out. When you ride your irritation into conflicts with others, you deplete your internal reserves. The wiser strategy is to safeguard your emotional wellbeing, Maybe that means meditating on your lunch break. Or maybe it means retiring early with a knitting project. However you ramp up your self-care, your annoyances will fade in equal measure.
