Today, you can escape boredom by making a conscious effort. If you take the initiative to peel back some of your life’s layers, you’ll discover a world of opportunity, intrigue, and adventure just beneath the surface. Make the choice to engage more intensely with the people around you, and put more effort into each conversation you have. If you try a little bit harder to connect, you’ll be rewarded with invitations, ideas, and compliments.

Are you going to live your life, or are you going to spend it watching TV? The love you seek is out there looking for you, but you have to get off your couch and make an effort to meet people at least halfway.

With so much going on in your life, it’s hard to focus on any one thing. Make an effort to keep your partner in the mix. Don’t be afraid to ask them for help prioritizing. With their assistance, you may find you can get more done.

You feel so cautious you can hardly function. Are you being sensible or are you shell shocked? You certainly don’t want to go through the emotional and financial upheaval you’ve experienced. For that kind of thing, once is enough, but it’s up to you whether or not it leaves a permanent scar.
