As your schedule loosens up and everyone is happily off doing their own thing, maybe it’s time for you to do your own thing too. This is a wonderful time to schedule a long weekend retreat for yourself. Taking the time to think about your life and where you’re going might seem like a luxury, but it’s one you should indulge in. Too many other people have been the focus of your life, and now the central focus should be you. It’s a good time for deep thought and setting a few new goals.

Dating might be the last thing on your mind, but you could also be surprised to learn just how much your deeper mind is obsessing over love. Let yourself go out on a date by simply slowing down and saying yes at least once.

Does your journal double as your honey’s biography? Count the number of entries you’ve written that mention your partner. Now’s the time you became the main character in this storyline.

Being creative with the numbers won’t help anything but your attitude, but at least it’s a start. As long as you leave it at that, go ahead and dust off your artistic tendencies.
