Love and Relationships
You’re not sure that you want to be with your partner on a long term basis. You’re feeling pressured by society or your partner to make a tangible commitment like moving in together, getting engaged, or having a child. Don’t take this next step if you have doubts about your relationship, it will only make things harder when it inevitably ends. Reflect on whether you want to take things slow or end the relationship altogether.

Health
You’ve been putting off plans to get back into shape, or refuse to schedule a much-needed appointment with a mental health professional. This procrastination is preventing you from moving forward in other areas of your life.
