You may be approaching your affairs in an orderly and systematic manner and this could make you feel like choosing your words carefully when speaking to others today. This desire to edit yourself might be borne from the need to get your feelings across without causing another person an undue amount of conflict. While it is important to allow some amount of flexibility in your interactions, perhaps you could also spend some time journaling about your feelings before articulating them to someone else. Writing about what is going on inside of you today could not only help you plan your thoughts but it might also give you insight into the nature of the problems or issues that are on your mind, and could provide you with another way of looking at things before sounding them out to others.

Considering how our thoughts will seem to other people makes it easier for us to clarify our feelings. Even though conversations and discussions are based on the way two or more people interact with and build upon each other, it is still beneficial to have a good idea what we want to say before we say it - particularly if a topic is sensitive. Putting your thoughts into writing today will let you see what is really going on inside of yourself, giving you a better idea of how things may appear to another person as well as a chance to really know what is going on within you.
