People around you may be moaning and losing motivation. But don't join the pity party. Remind everyone why this matters, dish out encouragement and add a small serving of tough love. Complaining achieves bugger-all without action. Keep everybody moving and morale alive. They might roll their eyes today, but they'll remember who stopped the whole thing from collapsing.
Has fun been missing from the menu? This week reminds you that life can't consist entirely of responsibilities, scrolling and pretending you're “fine.” An old hobby, creative idea, romantic interest or forgotten passion could return, demanding attention. Romance could surprise you too and if matters of the heart don't interest you, make something. Flirt. Play. Laugh. You don't need permission to enjoy yourself, and joy isn't something you earn after finishing everything else.
Sensing it's up to you to motivate someone or others could test your patience this month. Just do your best to keep irritation and frustration at bay, okay? Career opportunities, travel, learning or a big project could be welcome distractions, and an old creative idea could beg for another shot. But your mission is to stop pushing people who won't commit. Find collaborators who give a damn and show up. One enthusiastic collaborator beats someone yawning on the sidelines.
