It's perfectly fine to relax and enjoy yourself. Stop pushing yourself past the breaking point. This is not an endurance contest. No one will think less of you when you take a holiday. Friends, family or colleagues may find your absence a relief. Anxiety is infectious. When you're worried about something, the fear radiates outward. Head for a relaxing spot near the water. Looking at a pond, river or ocean will soothe your jagged nerves and restore your high spirits.

You are just as important as everyone else. The next time a relative or neighbour tries to dismiss your concerns, double down. Challenge them to answer your questions. The more forceful you are, the harder it will be to ignore you. Your impulse to maintain a respectful tone is admirable. When considerate behaviour becomes a liability, you must change your approach. Don't be surprised when other members of the group want to show their thanks privately. They share your frustration.

Much to your disappointment, you won't be able to meet your goals. Resist the temptation to beat yourself up for this shortfall. You're only human. Everyone else will be so busy they won't even realise you've been less productive than usual. It's time to adjust your perspective. The sooner you take full credit for your superior performance, the easier it will be to attract worthy opportunities. Take time out of your busy schedule to apply for jobs that pay better.

Stop dwelling on what is going wrong. Count your blessings instead. Although you are enduring a difficult situation, it's not all bad. Focusing on the many privileges you enjoy will cause them to multiply. Make a promise not to complain for the entire day. You'll find work goes more smoothly and interactions are more pleasant. Positive thinking is like any other habit. The more you practice an activity, the better you become at it. Don't be surprised when you become a love magnet resulting from your upbeat attitude.

If you feel like you're out of your depth, admit it. Ask someone to fill in the gaps to your knowledge. A compassionate expert will be happy to bring you up to speed. Your humble attitude will draw many admiring glances. It takes courage to request assistance. By taking full advantage of this learning opportunity, you will move on to a bigger and better assignment. It's even possible you'll be asked to teach newcomers. Students will be receptive to your enthusiastic energy.

Learn to trust your decisions. You have excellent instincts but tend to ignore them. Relying too heavily on logic can result in disappointment. Your inner child is beckoning you to work less and play more. If that means taking a less demanding job, so be it. At the very least, you should devote more time to your favourite hobby. There's nothing wrong with neglecting the housework to write, paint or play music. You should value your happiness more than clean counters and folded laundry.

Doing more than your fair share of work will create resentment. If you see work that needs to be done, notify your superiors. It's up to them to hire additional staff. Are you dealing with a lazy relative? Stop coming to their rescue. Running their errands and fulfilling their responsibilities has created a toxic dynamic. When other members of the family realise good behaviour going unrewarded, they'll slack off, too. At that point, it will be impossible to get anyone to do their part.

There are more important things in life than being popular. Don't be afraid to show your disapproval of a terrible decision. There are people who will bristle at your criticism, but you won't be thrown out of the group. That's because you are an asset to the organisation. As such, the people at the top must work to accommodate you. If you're not satisfied with their half-hearted attempts, move on to greener pastures. Another association will be happy to welcome you to the fold.

An important occasion slipped your mind and now you're embarrassed. Rather than pretending nothing is wrong, make a sincere apology. You owe it to a loved one whose feelings have been hurt. It's never easy for you to own up to mistakes. When you do ask for forgiveness, you restore dignity to the person you've betrayed. This may sound dramatic, but it's true. Think back to a time when someone thoughtlessly bruised your feelings. Were you ever able to look at them with the same respect again?

Going along with an unethical plan is a terrible idea. It's critical to voice your concerns. If you don't, the resulting unhappiness will be purely your fault. Although it's admirable you want to get along with others, you shouldn't do so at the expense of your values. There are worse things than being labelled a troublemaker. Making a fuss in a public forum could work to your advantage. An influential professional who admires your courage will offer you a job. You'd be wise to accept.

Always try your hardest, but don't go into a shame spiral whenever you fail. You're only human. Not even the most talented individuals hit the mark every time. True champions treat setbacks as learning opportunities. It may develop you are competing against someone who is simply more talented. If that's the case, give credit where it is due. Your admiration and support will be rewarded with an apprenticeship. Take this opportunity to study with a master. This relationship will be one of the most important of your life.

You have everything you need to thrive. Resist the temptation to envy more prosperous or successful friends. Envy will only undermine these relationships. You may not realise it, but most of your loved ones admire you. They wish they possessed your vision, compassion and flexibility. Everyone is born with unique talents. By owning your gifts and celebrating the talents of others, great things will happen. We're here to help each other. You could form a support group or volunteer organisation.
