You're tired of being pushed around by a business or romantic partner. Proposing alternatives won't make a difference. Your friend is intent on getting things their way. This is not a satisfying arrangement for you. It's important for you to have a voice in everything you do together. If that's not an option, it may be time to part ways. This is easier said than done, since you have a deep emotional attachment. Make the healthiest choice for you, even if it is painful.

You're not making any progress at work, which is frustrating. You're tired of spinning your wheels at a dead end job. Unfortunately, there aren't many other job options available. You will have to maintain this position until a better one comes along. Be patient. Take this opportunity to spend more time on your favourite activities during your time off. Playing sports, working on creative projects and socialising will make work related stress seem relatively minor.

Work is interfering with all your plans. You want to get away for a prolonged break, but it simply isn't possible now. Your employer is short staffed and needs all hands on deck. You may have to bow out of a group holiday. If this has been a continual problem, discuss the matter with your boss. You don't want to be held hostage to this situation. Everybody deserves an occasional break. Quitting is not an option. You have bills to pay and should maintain a steady income.

Family has been disagreeable. You're tired of playing peacemaker to quarrelling relatives. Instead of getting drawn into another argument, head off on your own. Your best friend or romantic partner may object to your reclusive behaviour, but it can't be helped. You need some private time to recharge your batteries. It's been too long since you enjoyed a favourite activity. Give yourself permission to enjoy some exotic cuisine that everyone else dislikes.

Despite having lots to do, you won't accomplish much. Technical breakdowns, traffic jams and unexpected closures can make the simplest tasks incredibly complex. Give in gracefully instead of forcing the issue. Take this opportunity to catch up on your reading, take a nap or luxuriate in a scented bath. Colleagues may accuse you of being lazy, but that's just because they lack your good sense. When the world hands you lemons, you make lemonade. It's a smart way of dealing with stress.

Money may be tight and stop you celebrating in style. Instead of shopping for a new outfit, you'll have to make do with one you already have. This normally wouldn't bother you, except you want to make an especially good entrance at a party. Raiding a well dressed friend's colleague might be a good alternative. It will be strangely exhilarating to wear something totally different from your usual pieces. Adopting a new look will bring out hidden dimensions of your personality.

Your indecision is making others angry. They want to move forward, but you won't allow them to do so. What would be the worst thing that would happen if you made the wrong choice? Few decisions are irreversible. When in doubt, flip a coin. This may seem like irreverent advice, but that's because you're placing too much importance on the matter. Follow your best friend's lead and take a carefree approach. Being flexible allows you to make the best of any situation.

You're tired of hiding from the world. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to reconnect with friends. While you were spending lots of time alone, they were busy forming new connections. You must be patient and persistent about making contact again. Nobody likes feeling rejected. In the future, you must be more forthcoming when you go into seclusion. Explain your need to be alone and make sure others understand you aren't rejecting them. Introverted people have to work hard to be understood.

It's hard to find common ground with frivolous people. You're not content to follow the herd. You want to lead a meaningful life. Whether this means travelling the world, studying different philosophies or performing good works is immaterial. The important thing is to trust your intuition. Eventually, you'll meet people who share your interests. Building a social network of like minded people will be comforting. You're tired of being an outsider. Make friends with people who share your interests.

Opportunities to get ahead are few and far between. This is discouraging for a highly ambitious person like you. Instead of complaining, quietly create an alternative plan. Launching your own business, going into a different line for work or furthering your education are among the possibilities. It will take a long time to put your plans into action. The sooner you formulate a strategy, the better. If there's anything you hate, it's being forced to stay in one place.

You'll be forced to carry out a dull routine. Exploring new territory isn't possible. Instead of dwelling on your misfortune, find a way to get some intellectual stimulation. Taking an advanced course will be a welcome diversion from boring tasks. At first, a bossy instructor will get on your nerves. Give yourself time to get used to their methods. Eventually, you'll appreciate their confidence and mastery. If you play your cards right, you can use your newfound knowledge to land an important job.

You're tired of sharing resources with a selfish person. It feels like you're always getting the smaller portion or inferior choice. Striking out on your own isn't an option, but it will be. The key is preparation. Save money and acquire valuable skills. Being able to live on your own will take courage. By the time you have built a nest egg, you'll be ready to take the plunge. Have confidence in your own abilities. You're more capable than you realise.
