Being polite to a demanding customer may be impossible. You simply can't maintain a civilised tone with someone who treats you in a degrading manner. If it feels like you're going to lose your cool, ask a colleague to take over. You'll save yourself an embarrassing temper tantrum. Stop beating yourself up for getting emotional. Everybody has their breaking point. A comforting friend will help you to forget your troubles. Enjoy a fun filled night on the town together.

You don't feel very adventurous right now. This causes others to accuse you of being provincial or narrow minded. Don't take these criticisms to heart. There's nothing wrong with clinging to familiar patterns for comfort. It's actually a natural response to stress. Indulge your love of comfort. There will be plenty of time for adventure when you feel more secure. Until then, stay close to the people who bolster your confidence. They'll help you to overcome fears and expand your horizons.

It's not time to let down your guard with a romantic interest. You have a tendency to skip steps in a relationship. This can undermine the strength of your bond. Make it your mission to enjoy every step of the courtship phase. As you learn more about each other, it will become safer to talk about painful subjects and exciting plans. Do you already have a partner? Listen to your amour's advice about pursuing your dream career. It's worth following.

Your best friend or lover isn't being very considerate. You're tired of giving all the time and never receiving kindness in return. It's time to have a heart to heart talk. Be specific when giving examples of how their behaviour bothers you. Don't get emotional. It will be hard to refute a logical, point by point argument. A pleasurable event is on the horizon. Don't let anything spoil your enjoyment of a movie, concert or play. You've earned some time away from your problems.

The end of the week is almost here and you're eager to put work behind you. Unfortunately, there is still more to be done before you relax. Failing to do the bare minimum will land you in hot water. Your employer wants you to perform at a certain level. If you fail to comply with their expectations, you could be dismissed. Everyone else has to toe the line and you are no exception. Fortunately, there will be plenty of time to revel in pleasure once your shift is over.

Finding time for the people and activities you love will be difficult. It feels like work is rearing its ugly head wherever you turn. Part of the problem is you are checking in too often. Don't log in to your work account more than you absolutely must. You might want to put yourself on a strict schedule of checking messages at certain times of the day. This will take discipline, but it can be done. Model your behaviour after an easy going friend who seems to have a good handle on life.

It is almost impossible to relax because your mind is racing. Keep distractions at bay. Turn off your television, computer and mobile. Dim the lights. Listen to some restful music. Stop yourself from running errands or doing chores. Give yourself a few hours to rest and recharge your batteries. Lying down in a darkened room with a cold cloth on your head can really help. Winding down takes practice, especially for a whirlwind like you. The benefits are worth it.

Flattering someone will set them up for disappointment. It's better to give an honest assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. When offering criticism, make sure it's constructive. It's much easier to follow advice when it's meant to be helpful. A relaxing evening with your amour is just what the doctor ordered. Arrange to spend some quality time alone with your favourite person. If you're single, you could meet someone special in an art related setting.

Money for luxuries will be tight. Focus on enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Pick up a book you've been meaning to read. Soak in a scented tub. Make some comfort food. Make it your mission to have as much fun as you can without spending any money. You tend to get restless when you're bored. Instead of heading out to a restaurant and club, invite a few people over for dinner and a movie. You don't have to be wealthy to enjoy life.

You're sorely tempted to indulge your sensual side, but this isn't a good time to do so. It's important to adopt a professional attitude. If you want to relax, you will have to do it on your own time, when your superiors can't see you shopping for clothes, eating snacks or taking a nap. Fortunately, the weekend is almost here. Look busy until the whistle blows. A neighbour will invite you over for dinner or drinks. Be sure to accept this offer.

Painful secrets are coming to light. It's possible you don't have as much experience as you claim. If someone catches you telling lies, be quick to apologise and admit the truth. We've all exaggerated our abilities at one time or another. This is often done out of insecurity. Having the truth revealed is embarrassing, but it will also allow you to make a fresh start. People can be very forgiving once they're given a sincere apology.

Just because everyone is engaging in a particular activity doesn't mean you should follow suit. Normally, you have no trouble marching to the beat of your own drum. Recently, you have felt like you're out of the loop. Everyone seems to be raving about a particular pastime. Although it doesn't sound very interesting, hearing others talk about it makes you feel lonely. It may be better for you to join a club devoted to a hobby you have always loved. That way, you won't feel so isolated.
