Turn your energy toward completing a project rather than expanding it. That means if you've been renovating your kitchen, go ahead and line the new shelves you installed last week, make sure you've got the right knobs for the cabinets, and then put those on too. Don't decide that you...
Okay, be honest: Are you the only person at the office who really carefully double-checks the facts, figures, and spelling before big reports go out? And does everybody know you'll fix it, so they go ahead and let things slide? If (being very, very honest, remember) you can answer no, then...
Strike while the iron's hot. That's your mantra today. And it sure looks (and feels) like the iron is heating up, so go for it! Whether you're making changes at work or at home, now is the time. Don't think twice. Don't pick up a thermometer at the corner store to...
If you've been feeling a little frustrated lately with some of the endeavors you've been attempting, why not try again? Something has shifted in a way that frees up some resources that could come your way if you just open the doors to them. So if the bell rings and there's a man...
You've never met an honest, from-the-heart expression of care and kindness and dedication you didn't like. And with good reason! These kinds of heartfelt messages are the stuff that real human connections are made of. If you send or receive a few, and you probably will, then you'll...
You are refreshed and ready to go. So be sure to take time to go to your kickboxing class or jog through the park or just walk around all morning long. You'll really feel the difference between what it's like to feel good and what it's like to feel great when you take a good mood and...
If there's a problem in the garden (slugs, snails, bulbs aren't blooming, weeds are all-consuming), you're going to put on your gardening gloves and solve it. If there's a problem in the bathroom (toilet broken, tile cracked), you're going to grab your handy toolbox and fix...
You are razor-sharp on your foggiest days. Today is not foggy. On the contrary, you are seeing the world (and your work) with crystal clarity. This is convenient, as a couple of tricky problems need to be solved by you. Don't worry: You'll take the problems, submit them to your...
You've reached a real turning point, and you could react in a whole new way. When you reach a difficult point in your work or your relationship, what do you usually do? Back off? Try to appease the other person? Concede too much too soon? Today is the day to try something different. Don't...
You care deeply about the environment. Right now, you might take that care a step further and get involved in some sort of activity or group that does something concrete to protect the earth. Whether you recycle bottles or engage in a movement demanding better public transportation, you're...
You look after the little things. You make sure the recycling goes into the recycling bin. You fold the towels just so. You buy whipped cream for your strawberries. You add a sprig of parsley to every bowl of soup. You clean behind your ears. Sure, the world wouldn't come to an end if you...
Sometimes you do a lot. And sometimes you do too much. It's time to give yourself a break. You've been working really, really hard, and it's time to rest and rejuvenate. It will be better for your long-term stamina, and you need to practice saying no anyhow. So this morning, get...
