Sometimes to get yourself together, you have to allow yourself to go to pieces first. Does that sound puzzling? It can be. If the solution or the root of a problem has been eluding you, it’s time to dismantle all the parts that make up the whole and examine each of them separately before you try to build some kind of coalition or solution. That way you can identify where the issue is and really fix things as opposed to applying a temporary solution.

You feel totally and completely ready for some type of relationship, but are you really? If you’re not sure, write it all out. What are your expectations? Your boundaries? Now you’re better equipped to make a great decision.

Let other people stick with candlelight and caviar. Your best date right now might be popcorn, a streamed movie, and cuddling on the couch.

What starts out as a great day could quickly go downhill if you let too many things get lost in the shuffle. If you don’t exercise any follow through then you will go nowhere fast. As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Come up with a game plan and then stick to it.
