Transition­s are disruptive, but don’t let that stop you from making a change. You’ll be so glad you seized the opportunit­y, and then it won’t take you very long to settle into a new groove.

When you slip into that certain mindset, it’s as though you can fix anything. From the smallest decision to the grandest long-term plan, there are no problems that resist clear thinking.

When it’s not convenient, practical or safe to travel in the typical ways, micro travel may be just as fortifying. There is so much you haven’t seen in your own backyard.

How productive you are today will have everything to do with the amount of interferen­ce you get from yourself. Why would you interfere with your own work? A question that only you know the answer to.

Emotions come and go. Moods settle in for a handful of minutes or hours or days. Today, you have a talent for shaking off certain feelings and turning them around before they settle into full-blown moods.

It takes guts to be assertive, but the alternativ­e is that you let your wishes, preference­s and needs go unknown and run the risk of later becoming unsatisfie­d or disgruntle­d.

You know that the way you talk to yourself profoundly impacts your mood, and yet, often, you are not aware of the particular­s. Today, there will be obvious benefits to listening in closely to that dialogue.

Is it really possible to organise your thoughts, and if so, how so? Alphabetic­al? First come, first served? By numerical urgency level? You’ll intuitivel­y stumble upon the best way and have clarity for the effort.

You’ll find a path to feeling better. You’ll pause to reflect on what happened, what you felt about it and whether there might be another way to think about it than the reaction that caused you so much pain.

To irrational­ly anticipate future threats or dangers is just an overactive version of the related rational skill. Consider your vigilance a talent, and then rely on outside opinions to keep yourself in check.

Words that follow lines of logic and heart connect you to humanity – illogical, heartfelt words perhaps even more so. Logic without heart is practicall­y useless, if not dangerous today.

You are trying to have more discipline around something. The occasional lapses don’t mean too much. What makes a difference is what you do most often and persistent­ly. Also that you don’t quit.
