Keep yourself on your toes by diving into some new challenge, especially if it’s self-imposed. If you’ve always been afraid of heights, it’s time to sign up for skydiving lessons. If it’s public speaking that makes you shaky, volunteer to speak at a big meeting coming up. You should find that confronting your fear directly not only diminishes it but also stimulates your brain in new ways.

Before signing any contracts or business documents, read the fine print. That goes for any kind of important decision you’re about to make. Simply speeding over the text won’t do you any favors.

What’s the rush? You see the value in taking it slow, having a lazy morning, and lingering with your partner over a cup of coffee. This change of gears really isn’t like you, but you have to say you like the results.

It’s almost too late for flexibility to help you. What you have been trying to wriggle out of is right outside your front door. You should face it sooner rather than later anyway. Being rigid about your determination will help you confront the wolf.
