For days you’ve been dreaming about your spare time and spending it all alone at your place. Well, that’s a nice dream, but it’s not going to happen. When you least expect it, shortly before quitting time, you’ll get your second wind. So now what? Do you call everyone you turned down and say you changed your mind, or do you stay in because you said you would? Get the phone. They’ll only snicker for a second. Then they’ll be so glad to see you it won’t matter.

This is the perfect time to rethink a romantic prospect or even your overall take on romance. Later, you can take action on whatever you decide is the right way to go.

Actively practice kindness toward your partner and yourself. This means watching your thoughts. When you find your mind spinning into anxious or repetitious thoughts, take a step back and calm down.

The energy around you might be up, down and sideways, but your own doesn?t have to be. If you have to tear yourself away from the financial news to stay on an even keel, then do it.
