The truth can be harsh, but when it comes from someone you love, it is almost always meant to be constructive. Don’t be surprised if a loved one shows their affection inappropriately today. You’ll feel the rebellion well up, but keep it in check. Let bizarre or offensive statements settle into your brain before you react. Your initial response will emerge from an emotional and defensive place, but there’s no reason to defend yourself. It’s really pointless to resist.

Don’t let your mouth write a check your heart can’t cash! Flattery is always fine, and flirtation is great, but teasing is just mean-spirited once it crosses a line. Be aware and cut it out when you must.

Have you gotten so caught up in your lover’s needs that you’re losing sight of your expectations? Stop being so automatically accommodating. Explore what you need. Get in touch with your original desires.

You live to do everything yourself. Asking for help from others is excruciating. Turn your project into a game and learn to have fun with the friends you rope in. You’ll make it a much more productive day on more than one front.
