Stop going in circles. Like being on a merry-go-round, it’s lots of fun at first, but then after a few minutes you start to feel just a touch nauseated. Even if you’re not sure where you want to go just yet, it’s imperative that you clear your head before you make any big decisions. Take your time and move at your own pace while you’re at it. Rushing into something could be a big mistake.

Don’t jump to conclusions! If you feel worked up or combative, you’re sure to ruffle feathers, especially when it comes to love. Try not to lash out. Things are actually going quite well between you and that hottie.

When you find yourself struggling at work, ask your partner for some advice. Their perspective as an outsider will be helpful, and they feel good when they can make a difference for you.

Think of your situation in heroic terms if it helps keep you motivated. You’ll defend your kingdom until there’s nothing left to defend, for example. Whether you’re getting close to that point shouldn’t be the issue.
