Your level of creativity is higher than most people’s, and this enables you see things in a fresh way. Today, your creativity is more potent than ever, so use it to open doors. Toss out any guilt you might feel for being able to come up with better ideas than anyone else. Be proud of your ability to contribute fresh, innovative, and sometimes downright odd ideas to the discussion. Sure, you might get a few funny looks, but more likely you’ll get a lot of people muttering that they wish they’d thought of it.

Balance the fun with the healthy today. They make an awesome combo! Try that new activity you’ve always wanted to try, or learn that new technique that will improve your performance in a sport.

Problems of the heart could affect your work. Talk with someone you trust to get the turmoil out of your head. Refocus on the tasks at hand.

Don’t be bothered by pettiness around the table. If it helps you ignore it, know that others are more stressed by the financial crisis than you are. Being thankful is vital.
