STARS MECCA WOODS

Our emotions might be more intense than usual today. However, we’re encouraged not to stay stuck in them.

If there’s something heavy that we’re feeling, this is a good time for adopting better ways to manage our mood or to selfsoothe. At the same time, we might need to be mindful of being too hard on ourselves or pushing ourselves past our limit.

We can best navigate the day’s choppy waters by not taking anything too personally and exercising healthy boundaries where necessary.

Taking time out to enjoy things that are fun and uplifting also can help improve today’s mood.
