Be more mindful of how you spend your time. Why waste hours surfing the Internet when you could be working out, developing a creative talent, or enjoying a hobby? Spending quality time with your nearest and dearest is also important. Social networking is fun, but it's not terribly substantive. If the phone is a distraction, keep it off during certain periods each day. Devote these times to work or rest. The more deliberate you are, the happier you will be.

It's important to get your money's worth. If you spend your income as quickly as you earn it, put yourself on a budget. Seek a better paid job. Start shopping for bargains. Resist making impulse purchases. You can satisfy your need for entertainment by borrowing free materials from the library, or renting inexpensive movies. Bring your lunch to work instead of buying it, and brew your own coffee. Even simple measures like this will result in tremendous savings.

Changing the way you present yourself will result in greater success for you. At times, you seem irreverent. People want to feel as if they're being taken seriously. Don't be so quick to make light of their remarks. Give thoughtful responses to questions. Resist the urge to be flippant with all but your closest friend. If you're seeking a higher level job, dress accordingly. When you look the part of a professional person, employers will treat you accordingly.

You're reconsidering a romantic decision you made long ago. There's no point in regretting the past. It's better to deal with your present opportunities. If you feel you established a destructive pattern, now is the time to break it. Look for a different type of partner or stay away from trouble makers. Don't be so quick to jump into relationships. Prolong the courtship phase until you're absolutely sure of your feelings. Love affairs are like buildings; they need strong foundations.

It feels as if you've dropped off the map for certain friends. It's time to make your displeasure known, even at the risk of a confrontation. When you care about somebody, you put them on a pedestal. Being angry at loved ones makes you sick to your stomach. Still, you must discuss your feelings. Letting them fester will only undermine what is in many ways a great friendship. Arrange to talk at a quiet time of day, like late afternoon.

You're tired of being known as the reliable rule follower. Breaking out of your shell will require some tenacity on your part. It's hard for a conscientious person like you to ignore public opinion. Still, you have a right to be a little wild and whimsical. Stop asking permission and just follow your heart. At first, people will be shocked and confused by your behaviour. Eventually they'll see you're just as fun loving as everybody else.

It's best to scale back your expectations, especially as far as long range plans are concerned. Mundane responsibilities require you to revise your schedule. Taking care of a relative, getting additional training, and dealing with a health issue are all possibilities. It's frustrating to switch gears like this, but if you try to do everything at once, you'll become frustrated. Conserve your energy and wait for a time when you won't be bogged down with a million chores.

Revisit a hobby you loved as a child. You will find it just as fun and exhilarating as you did in the glory days. Yes, there may be some disappointment attached to this activity. Take comfort in the fact you have learned a lot since then. Your experience will allow you to cope with disappointments in a more mature, philosophical fashion. Besides, just because you had a few bad experiences doesn't mean that part of your life is forever poisoned.

A comfortable relationship could use a tune up. Arrange a special outing for just the two of you. Don't let anyone else get involved. If the two of you have grown apart, there is a chance to build a new relationship. Still, both of you have to be amenable to begin afresh. If you decide to go your separate ways, it will be sad, but at least you will have closure. There's nothing worse than wondering what might have happened.

Taking better care of yourself is critical to keeping depression at bay. You may not feel motivated to look your best, but thought follows action. Set aside extra time each day to dress well. It doesn't matter if you're not going to see anyone special. Every time you pass a mirror, you'll get a lift. Are you out of shape? Embark on a fitness program that feels more like play than work. Dancing, biking, playing sports, all these will help you shed pounds without feeling miserable.

If you feel uninspired, seek a new source of amusement. Try your hand at a creative medium that has always interested you. Dancing, painting, acting, playing music, it really doesn't matter what you choose, so long as it appeals to your inventive side. An old lover will try to make their way back into your life again. Be very wary about re-establishing a friendship. There was a good reason the two of you broke up. Think back on that painful time.

You're starting to see a close relationship in a different light. A relative who claims to tease you doesn't have your best interests at heart. The next time this family member makes an upsetting joke, speak up. Tell them you don't appreciate those kinds of remarks, and if they make one again, you'll be out the door. There's no reason you have to endure disrespectful behaviour. If people accuse you of being oversensitive, so be it. It's better than being insensitive.
