Change affects different people in different ways, so don’t assume that other people will react the same way that you do to a big transition. You have always been open to new experiences, but now you are even more eager to see things get mixed up in your life. This isn’t the case for everyone, however, and you must be sensitive to that fact. When the change happens, ask people what their feelings are and work with them until everyone is on the same page.
Laughter is the best medicine for any bad mood. Ask your friends to tell you a funny story or go online to read silly dad jokes. Do a search for your favorite comedian’s material or watch clips of funny pets to cheer up.
It’s the little touches that keep your daily romance lively—a few loving details add a lot to your quality of life. Bring your partner small gifts. Be kind and generous with one another.
You can only get so deep when thinking about your financial predicament. That’s okay, because waxing philosophical won’t help you figure out how you got in the state you’re in, nor will it get you out of it. Give yourself permission to be shallow.
