In a troubled relationship, your smallest efforts today can help you both overcome whatever big obstacles are standing in your way. It all starts with honesty. Say what you really feel and don’t be afraid to be vulnerable with this person, whoever they are. Whether you’re confessing something to a coworker, baring your heart to a partner, or confiding a deep, dark secret to a sibling, you can’t hold anything back. If you’re going to trust them, you’ve got to trust them all the way.

Remember, just ’cause someone’s being demanding doesn’t mean you have to give them what they want. So if a friend or potential amour wants more time, more attention, more energy, decide what you can reasonably give.

Leave the details to your partner today. You’re better off handling the big picture. Try to make sure you’re open to their suggestions and willing to move when it’s time to act.

Being conscientious doesn’t have to be boring. You can put some creativity into doing the right thing. Make it a lark as well as an obligation. After all, you really wouldn’t want to behave any other way.
