Pay very close attention to your dreams right now, both the variety of images that your subconscious cooks up while you sleep and the ones your conscious mind creates during the day. They may seem like fanciful ideas that don’t relate very much to your real life goals, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Look closer and you’ll see that they’re a sort of roadmap to get you from where you are now to where you want to be. The signs are there. You just need to slow down to see them.

Get out and play! You’ve been stuck at work or school too long. It’s time to just cut loose and hang out with friends. Go dancing or plan a wild party of your own. Remember to invite someone special.

Reach out and ask your partner for a little more of whatever you need most. It’s a good time to really open up. Honesty will only bring more of the same. Share your feelings and life will just keep getting better.

Winning isn’t in the cards. If you can’t enjoy an activity for the sport of it, then don’t bother participating at all. But learning to be flexible about whether you win or lose would be a valuable addition to your emotional portfolio. Giving a new attitude a try is worth a small investment of your time and emotion.
