Beware of overindulging in food and drink. Weighing down your system will make you too tired to work. You'll neglect responsibilities, causing problems in your personal life. Friends and family are depending on you to perform certain chores. Instead of indulging your sensual side, do what you promised. There will be plenty of time to rest and relax after you've fulfilled these obligations. Instead of partying, you may prefer healthier activities like watching movies or playing sports.

You've been having a wonderful time, but your job is beckoning. Cut your holiday short and return to your obligations. If you're head over heels in love, resist the temptation to call in sick. Your amour will be waiting for you once you come home from work. Have you fallen into bad habits? Cut back on the sugar, fat and alcohol. Enjoy a diet that is mainly comprised of fresh vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and fresh water. You'll be energised and refreshed.

Hiding from the world won't solve a serious problem. It's time to confront a bully who keeps undermining your confidence. Instead of avoiding places this pest inhabits, go there regularly. Eventually, you will cross paths again. Take a deep breath and tell them what you think of their behaviour. Give specific examples of how their remarks have hurt your feelings. Your direct approach will shame them into silence. If there's anything abusive people hate, it's having their behaviour exposed in a public forum.

Being insincere will make a difficult situation worse. If someone asks for your honest opinion, give it as diplomatically as possible. Don't pretend to like something you find unimpressive. Admit that you find a person's behaviour offensive. Your remarks will get a chilly response, but at least you'll be on record as being truthful. It isn't your job to coddle a person whose actions and words are displeasing. Turn your attention to relationships that make you feel supported and validated.

Putting too much focus on material goods is making you miserable. True happiness comes from simple pleasures. Make a list of twenty things that make you truly happy. You'll be surprised to discover most of these entries don't involve lots of expense. By taking time out of your busy schedule to enjoy the activities and relationships that make life meaningful, your obsession with wealth will fade. Instead of shopping, you'll use your free time to make art, meet friends and commune with nature.

This isn't a good time to splash out on expensive luxuries. By practicing financial restraint, you'll be able to pay your bills with a minimum of stress. Living within your means makes it easier to connect with your partner. You'll have the ability to enjoy the occasional treat without checking your bank balance. Are you single? Wait until you have money in savings before embarking on a romance. It's best to build a relationship on a stable foundation.

Secret self-indulgences are affecting your performance at work. If you're dealing with a toxic job, do yourself a favour and look for a better position. Taking control of your destiny will make you stop craving substances and activities that are dulling your spirit. Give your body the positive reinforcement and nourishing meals it needs to thrive. You'll feel like your old self again. People will notice the change and start gravitating to you like bees to a flower.

Steering a platonic relationship into romantic waters will be cause for regret. If you're looking for love, find it with someone who isn't a member of your social circle. Are you in a relationship? Pull back from a flirtation. You don't want to hurt your amour with a casual dalliance. End a toxic alliance before embarking on another romance. Having a secret life will make you miserable and create all sorts of complications you really do not need.

Trying to impress someone with your professional or social status is bound to backfire. If you're going to win someone's heart, just be yourself. Don't brag about your accomplishments or make lavish displays of wealth. You want to be loved for who you are, not for what position you hold. Are you in a relationship with someone who is unemployed? Offer to help them with their job search. You can use some of your professional contacts to set up a job interview for your partner.

You don't like discussing your beliefs in a public forum. If someone makes fun of your religion or philosophy, speak up. You don't have to make a dramatic statement. Simply say you find these remarks offensive and ask to be treated more respectfully. Others will admire your courageous stance. You may not realise it, but many people in the organisation have been uncomfortable with this dynamic for a long time. You're the only one brave enough to put an end to it.

Don't get involved in a physical relationship unless you genuinely care for your partner. You have the rare ability to separate your emotions from intimate relations. That's not the case for your other half. There are many ways to satisfy your sensual desires without getting another person involved. Are you in a serious relationship? If you want to enhance your love life, spend quality time with your amour. This will pave the way for the passionate encounters you desire.

Don't take your best friend or romantic partner for granted. Lately, you've been wrapped up in a creative project. This has caused you to pull away from someone who has always given their unconditional love and support. Take your friend out for a nice meal or pleasant outing. Reconnecting will make you more considerate of their needs. Instead of retreating to a world of your own creation, you'll be more present. The tension that has been weighing on your union will dissipate.
