If you're going to realise your full potential, you must put an end to limited thinking. You should also avoid pessimists who are always mocking your urge to try new things. If it weren't for pioneers like you, change would happen at a snail's pace. Be polite about setting barriers with an overbearing authority figure. You can turn down an assignment without being angry and defensive. Remaining calm under pressure will make your point in an effective way. Breathe deep and remain focused.

Worrying what others will think of you is a recipe for misery. The only person you must please is yourself. Stop aiming for the stars just because it will appease your family. Becoming an artist or working for a voluntary or charitable organisation will cultivate contentment. It's possible you'll fail a test or be turned away from a respected institution. Rejection is never easy, but it's part of life. Treat this situation as a chance to correct your course. There's a bigger and better opportunity ahead.

It's difficult to remain hopeful when you continue getting bad news. Instead of trying to see the bright side, divert your attention to another subject. Watching a movie, reading a book or video conferencing with friends will remind you of what's truly important. Take every opportunity to appreciate your time on Earth. It can be challenging for an analytic person like you to relax. Get into the habit of engaging your five senses on a regular basis. It helps ease tension that fills the airways now.

A setback has changed your priorities. You're no longer willing to go along with boring plans. If that means rocking the boat, you will have no trouble doing so. People will wonder why you've become so uncooperative. Don't worry about inconveniencing them. It's time to put your needs first. Your best friend or romantic partner will accuse you of being selfish. Tell them you're no longer willing to sacrifice your dreams for their comfort. Your relationship is going to change and they must be ready for it.

You're willing to work hard to make a partnership work. This can be challenging if your other half can be somewhat eccentric. It may be necessary to rearrange your household or change your hours to accommodate your partner's ways. Be flexible. Beware of pushing your body past the brink of exhaustion. Taking light exercise is better than doing increasingly harder workouts. A little gentle stretching will keep you physically flexible and emotionally content. When stress begins to mount, flex your muscles.

Resist the temptation to criticise a relative. Although their recent performance leaves plenty of room for improvement, it's better to praise their patience and bravery. The more encouragement you give them to keep working, the faster they will improve. Beginners require gentle treatment. Your romantic partner's childish behaviour is a source of concern. It's possible your amour is acting out because it's the only way to get your attention. Be more attentive to their needs and have a heart to heart conversation.

A creative block is getting under your skin. The best way to blast through this obstruction is to pour your energy into everyday domestic duties. A breakthrough will occur while you're chopping vegetables, sweeping the floor or folding laundry. This will come as a huge relief. A broken appliance should be replaced. Do some research before purchasing a new model. This will save lots of time, money and effort. There's no point buying a device with fancy functions that you'll never use.

Don't let a deep attachment to home keep you from exploring different ideas and philosophies of life. If you've always admired a friend's ability to handle stress, you may want to ask them about their approach to conflict. Adopting their attitude will keep tension at bay. A power struggle with someone could erupt. You're tired of their inconsiderate behaviour. Stop giving this pest permission to spoil your mood. Nobody can make you feel bad without your permission. Make a renewed commitment to your favourite hobbies.

Personal plans will be delayed. Instead of fixating on your disappointment, find another enjoyable way to fill your time. Sometimes the Universe conspires to give you more time to think, rest and relax. Return to an art project you abandoned some time ago. Going through a stockpile of supplies for inspiration. You'll find an innovative use for materials you bought some time ago. It feels great to make something that's both useful and beautiful with your own two hands.

Are you looking for ways to make more money? It will take time to find a lucrative opportunity that is worth your while. Begin your search and remain patient. Being able to work from home is much easier than you think. Beware of adopting a bossy attitude with a relative. If your relationship is going to get better, you must show faith in their judgment. Let them make their own mistakes. Your loved one is highly resourceful. Give them credit where it is due.

You feel drained of energy and enterprise. Stop making long lists of things you should be doing. Take a break instead. There's nothing wrong with sleeping late, sitting around in your pyjamas and cuddling your pets. You're a human being, not a human doing. It will be more difficult than expected to get official permission to carry out plans. Don't panic if your first application is rejected. Make an appeal and wish for the best. Everything is unfolding in perfect time.

Don't let hypersensitivity keep you from following your dreams. If someone teases you about your goals, give them the elbow. Continue to imagine your ideal future, whether it involves earning an additional technical or academic qualification, travel the world or publish a book. A well-connected friend is willing to give you the contact information of an influential person who can help you. Getting access to a powerful person or institution is half the battle. Take advantage of every break you can.
