EAnimals: Picasso Wild Things!

Picasso Wild Things:

Sometimes the romantic in you longs for the perfect so intensely than you may miss the good in your life. Because of your poetic heart you may over-romanticize life in ways that get in the way of living practically in the here and now. Although longing for perfection in a less than perfect world is a helpful stimulus for creativity, remember to temper this longing with a healthy dose of common sense and realism. Just because a situation is not perfect does not mean that it is irrevocably flawed.

EAnimals: Champ Wild Things!

Champ Wild Things:

Always pushing for success and constantly optimizing every situation can be stressful if not balanced by other aspects of your life. Your style is to speed through life and you may need to be reminded to slow down. It’s hard for you, though, so when you are smelling those roses you may photographing them as well.

Opportunities seem everywhere for you and you have the energy to take advantage of most of them. Remember, however, that over-emphasis on success and winning can hamper intimacy in your relationships. Others may not be as “can do” as you are. You may need to slow down a little for the others to catch up to you. You’ll have a some relaxing fun as a bonus. Others want to know the real you, not just what you can accomplish for them.

EAnimals: Kozy Wild Things!

Kozy Wild Things:

But even you can get worn out with all this unselfish activity and altruism and become exhausted. However you may deny or ignore these feelings. You really want to please those around you. You will convince yourself that you enjoy your lifestyle of giving and compromising what you want.

At some point, however it may become too much: When you notice that no one is taking care of you, you may become a little irritated. Well-meaning friends and family may even try to step in and help you set boundaries for yourself. When they say “You need to take care of yourself!”, you may have not idea how to do that. Try to channel these feelings of irritation and helplessness into an effort to set limits for yourself. Taking care of yourself may sound selfish to a Kozy,but it’s not, it’s essential!

Solomon Wild Things!

Solomon Wild Things:

Solomon’s drive to improve not only himself but others can paradoxically be perceived to others as critical and negative and may cause others to attempt to avoid him and his opinions. But the truth is that Solomon is harder on himself than anyone else. His active inner critic causes him a great deal of stress when it comes to relaxing or dealing with others and trying to live up to his impossibly high standards.
