Affirmation for May 31, 2013: Heated Emotional Encounters

Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.- Vincent Van Gogh, 1889
Thought of the day:
Emotions are a powerful force, often one that many of us can't control completely every second of our livs. This especially takes a toll when those emotions are negative and involve the ones we love.
Remembering that much of the time, the person who triggered those emotions had only good intentions in mind, and that much of those bitter feelings are just in your mind, may help you gain some perspective and cool off the heat that comes with a hurtful word.
And even if that word did not come with good intentions, communication is a powerful diffuser when it comes to understanding and working through heated moments.
Have a peaceful day!
