You have an admirable sense of ownership over what you’re doing right now, but is it completely warranted? There is a lot to be said for delegating some of your responsibilities to other people once in a while. After all, everyone sees things in a different way and adds their own spin to the situation, so why not let them? Giving up control of one thing will free you to start embarking on a new thing. Release yourself from at least one responsibility.

Watch out for the small things right now. You have a tendency to nickel and dime yourself. Twenty dollars here, five there, until suddenly you’re wondering where the rent money went. If you can make dinner and coffee at home, do it. You can’t afford the luxury.

Don’t be afraid to show your loving devotion. Bring the slippers, plump the pillows, and dish up a favorite meal to show your heart is in the right place.

The last thing you want today is a deep and meaningful conversation. You want idle banter or nothing at all. So when someone attempts a discussion about their values, or yours, cut them off at the pass, even if it takes some cash.
