It is time to stop and think about way your own life is structured. Do you have your priorities straight? Do you make time for yourself, for your loved one(s), for your children, your friends? Do you exercise, eat well, and take care of your spiritual self? When is last time you had a relaxed meal, together at home? Is where you live a place of business, a place to sleep, or does structure, be it a room, apartment or house really function as a home?

If you give to yourself first, in a healthy selfish-self-caring way, second, to those you love and third to work, your chances of having a happy home and full work life will improve. If you increasingly give at office, you risk winding up with equivalent of an empty pocket with a hole in it. The more you put into your empty pocket, bigger hole, and before you know it, life as you wish is life as you wish not—-chaotic, up-side-down, and slipping through that ever expanding torn hole. Sew up that empty hole and make your life whole. Give at home first and at office second. Everyone will benefit, especially you.

If you and your partner find that you are in fact fighting more, or that nothing between you seems right, pay attention to whether it is your partner you suddenly can’t stand, or if you may be scape-goating them. Another possibility may be that you feel safe and well loved enough to let out your anger, frustration and helplessness about state of world with one person you can trust to not go away, even if you behave badly.

Do be careful. With so much hate floating around, take time to love those who are close to you. It will help you get through what otherwise may be long days and lonely nights.
