Let yourself feel adrift in your work. Maybe your attention keeps wandering from your to-do list. Or maybe a project you were excited about is suddenly feeling meh. It happens. Give yourself some grace. Take an extra-long lunch and doodle new ideas on a napkin. Prioritize the tasks you can actually focus on — at least a little bit. Or say no to an office “funbligation.” Let go of the notion that you need to be productive all the time. Sometimes that’s all it takes to reset your momentum.

Your productivity doesn’t define your worth. Instead of powering through your feelings to meet a deadline, organize your schedule in a way that’s actually sustainable. With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling, build routines that prioritize your emotional health. Setting work–life boundaries can be scary, but this is the best way to support yourself right now. If this means certain to-dos or timelines slip, so be it. When your innermost needs are taken care of, your creativity flows.

You don’t have to hide behind a shield of detachment. To avoid saying the thing that might disappoint someone. To brush off the tension in the group chat. To ignore the thought loop you can’t quite break. Bottling it up won’t make it go away; it’ll just leak out anyway. Remember: You don’t need to censor yourself to protect anyone’s feelings.

This is a time to get real about what is or isn’t yours to carry alone. Spending even 5 minutes having an honest conversation, clarifying expectations, or acknowledging what hurts can help you regain a sense of agency. Your collaborations don’t have to be perfect. Just do what you can to share the load.

You’re not meant to grind 24/7. It’s not selfish to want your labor to have a deeper meaning. To crave more ease, more nourishment, and more purpose in the tasks that fill your hours. This isn’t about letting your productivity define you; it’s about tending to the work routines and health practices that actually sustain your emotional wellbeing. Ask, “What if it doesn’t always have to be so hard?” Then notice your internal response. Start there to build the systems and structures you want, with plenty of breathing room.

Congratulate yourself for all the ways you’ve been showing up for your loved ones. Maybe it hasn’t felt like a fairy tale, but you’ve been bringing major care and intentional effort to your 1:1 bonds. If things haven’t been easy, know that your dedication and commitment are making a difference, even if it isn’t yet obvious. Focus on what your relationships need to thrive. Take an inspiring risk for the sake of deeper connection.
