It may feel like today is full of tests and turning points, but don’t let the pressure (self-induced or from others) get to you. Try instead to follow your instincts and do what you think is best. Push yourself to the limit if you like, but take your own sweet time if you’re dealing with unknown territory. Your performance depends on how well you understand what’s going on.

Go ahead and take the plunge. Contact that cutie from the dating app. Say yes to that random blind date a friend wants to set up, Just smile and say hi. Putting things in motion is up to you.

When you aren’t watching your words, something unintentionally hurtful might slip out. This isn’t to say you should censor yourself. Just keep in mind that your partner’s reactions may vary.

You are actually able to stare risk right in the eye and not respond. Ever the gambler, you’re in a situation that even you can see just won’t pay off. Now that you’ve learned a bit of restraint, try using it more often.
