On Monday you realize that there's a big difference between taking action and reacting. The former is calm and cares about doing the right thing, no matter how it looks. The latter has qualities of over-compensation and worries about how other people will react. You have the courage of your convicti... Read More »

It's time to take action on your own behalf on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. That means no more procrastinating -- read a book or play with the dog instead of zoning out in front of the TV, and eat well instead of eating to feel full. Taking proper care of yourself can be a brave, if not revolution... Read More »

It's important to say thank you (not just to others out of courtesy, although that's always nice), but to yourself and the universe at large for all the loveliness, large and small, that you encounter every day. Use the first part of the week to be consciously grateful for things like a particularly... Read More »

Be creative about what you consider to be positive events during the first half of the week. Sure, winning the lottery might be nice, but getting a seat on the bus, a great cup of tea and a long conversation with an old friend actually have a lot more impact on your day-to-day life. In other words, ... Read More »

Make an effort to see the issue from the other person's point of view on Monday.

Apply yourself to taking judicious action instead of trying to get a million things done at once on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday -- otherwise you'll end up feeling frenzies and getting very little accomplished. By Thursday and Friday, you'll discover a groove that feels comfortable, productive and ... Read More »

A tactic that will make your life easier is to take nothing personally, especially during the first half of this week. One day everyone may be singing your praises, while another the world at large is indifferent, but none of that has any real bearing on who you are as a person. The second half of t... Read More »

A great scientist once wrote, 'Nothing is too wonderful to be true.' Adopt that as your motto. If you can't see the truth of it on Monday, you will by Wednesday at the latest. True, that realization may be one you have to fight for, but once you commit yourself to it, you'll see that it's right on. ... Read More »

What's more frightening than a dream that doesn't come true? One that does. During the first half of the week, you start to see some very big payoffs from all your recent efforts, and that can feel overwhelming. Take a deep breath and slow down. If necessary, use Thursday and Friday to attend only t... Read More »

One of the most common (and consistently false) assumptions people make is that everyone else has it together. The first half of the week, make a conscious effort to break out of that mindset. Seeing yourself and your fellow human beings with compassion helps with that task. Thursday and Friday are ... Read More »

You're in a ruminative mood at week's start, thinking about the relationships you have in your life. On Wednesday, if you find yourself thinking about friendships, loves and family members who have come and gone, give them (and yourself) a break by reserving judgment and realizing that there are alw...

On Monday, something you've been denying about yourself comes to you in the form of fate. Make an attempt to get the cosmic joke on Tuesday, and by Wednesday you'll see that this is a grand opportunity, just wearing a slightly bizarre costume. Thursday and Friday are excellent times to take solid ac... Read More »
