If you're in a relationship
Something in the relationship — a decision, a change of heart, a partner's readiness — is not ripe, and pressing it will set it back. Your work is the quality of your waiting: stay cheerful and engaged rather than tense and monitoring, keep nourishing yourself and the bond in ordinary ways, and trust that what you've planted is growing out of sight. Doubt and impatience leak; partners feel them as pressure. The certainty that can eat and drink calmly while it waits is itself persuasive.
