Sometimes, it pays off to be reflective and contemplative, especially when it comes to discussing personal matters that are weighing on you with a close friend. Being strategic in how you chat about your emotions is beneficial because it encourages you to be empathetic and direct in conversation without conflict.
Once you take a stance, it’s hard to get out of the train of thought, even if your assessments aren’t correct and inaccurate. Before digging your heels in the mud and allowing yourself to get stuck in a mindset, consider understanding the other person’s side and POV from the get-go.
The best things in life are free, but that sentiment won’t pay for this season’s It Bag. Saving your pennies for an item you’re lusting after isn’t going to stop you from desiring new swag next month, so figure out what stylistically stands the test of time. Decide before swiping your card and your wallet will thank you.
‘Tis the time for your glow-up. This week brings a massive shift in how you see yourself and how others view you. Don’t worry, little crab, the cosmos are heightening your popularity. It just may be hard for you to accept your fandom at first, but you will embrace it soon.
If you’ve been yearning for down time so take a few days for some R&R after work. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi with a foot massage to unwind and chill at home. You’ll be grateful that you chose to decompress instead of hitting the bars when you realize how revitalizing it is.
Your social network is making strides, aligning you with people who can give you a boost in your career. Therefore, you need to beef up your LinkedIn account and presence to show them your skills and knowledge. They might be able to help you professionally in the future, so reach out!
Although you may not do it intentionally, you’re breadcrumbing your crush or S.O. The constant demands of your 9 to 5 are holding you back from being there for your boo. Don’t let that stand between you both. Plan a special outing to make them feel the love you have in your heart.
Obsessed with being at the top of your game? You don’t have to climb the corporate ladder to prove your worth. When you are feeling down and blue about your current situation or frustrated, know that you are the CEO of being fabulous, which is all that really matters.
The group chat is dwindling, and you’re scrambling to get everyone back into gear for summer (which technically begins next week, but in your mind, it’s already started). Nudge them delicately before laying on the guilt trip and theatrics. They’ll respond if you present a plan for the next hangout.
Even though you tend to hold onto grudges (no judgment!), there comes a time when you gotta release them. The week ahead asks you to unshackle yourself from such burdens to live and let live without continuously hardening your heart. Unchain yourself from the resentments holding you back from growing.
Integrity is essential to you but not always vital for others. Some peeps may disappoint you this week when you witness their sketchy behavior in personal and professional settings. For you, it’s a deal breaker, so you’re moving onward and upward with those who are honest and loyal. Drop mic.
People can be two-faced at times. While that sentiment is true, the caveat is that you are running your mouth and annoyed that others are doing it too. If your pals get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, deal with the problem and make amends for your part.
