One of the many overlooked luxuries in life is missing out on making the best of what you have. We’re all in different spots in our lives, but we all have the ability to be creative with our free time. When the goal is relaxation, do what makes you happy. Whether that looks like five days of catching up on sleep or uninterrupted time with family, do it.

In relationships and life we tend to settle or look past issues that are right in front of our eyes. Ignoring the red flags is easy to do when you care for someone. We want to believe that bad characteristics and behaviors will change over time. Unfortunately, this can do more harm than good.
