SPIRIT

Your friends know where to come if they want some really good advice.You have tons of infectious energy and lots of natural enthusiasm. You tend to be committed when it comes to achieving your goals in life. You set high standards for yourself and others and like to keep your eye on the prize. Resourcefulness is definitely one of your finest strengths. When you get excited about something, you have the confidence and passion to inspire all those around you.You're feeling comfortable in your own skin at the moment, so life's probably feeling good. Your balanced attitude and positive thinking mean you can take the good with the bad.When it comes to bringing positive change to your life, don't try to move mountains. Baby steps are definitely the way forward. For example, if you'd like to lose weight, don't set yourself up to fail with unrealistic goals. Be kind to yourself and remember that slow and steady wins the race.Life's all about options. Allow yourself to be excited by possibility and potential. Try not to push to know the answer all the time. There will be lots of twists and turns in life. Rather than wishing away the journey, try to live in the moment and enjoy every bump in the road! Challenge yourself to try new experiences and live life to the fullest. Remember that you can't be upbeat and outgoing 100 percent of the time. It's okay to tune out and look inward every now and again. In fact, we encourage it!There's a connection between regular exercise and feeling empowered to live the life you want. You understand that a good workout can put you in a super positive frame of mind. Make sure you keep that upbeat attitude.

RELATIONSHIP
When you're in love, life somehow seems easier to handle. Whatever challenges you face, you're in it together and that's all that matters.As a True Romantic, you've got a lot of love to give and you like to lavish your partner with romantic gestures. You have strong instincts and a good understanding of who you are and what you want from life. You like to follow your dreams and believe in happy endings. You are very expressive and enjoy coming up with new ways of showing your partner how much you love him. Intense experiences appeal to your sensual side. It's all about immersing yourself in the fairy-tale feelings of being in love. For you, it's the little things that make being in love so special: having someone else look after the kids for an evening so you can take a sunset stroll on a beach, hold hands at the movies and feel protected and cared for.

Relationship tips:

So you're a True Romantic but what tips can we give for keeping the romance alive in your relationship?

Be natural. Remember that your partner loves you for who you are, so don't feel the need to put on an act.
Share the love. You've got the Midas touch when it comes to setting the romantic tone, so do what you do best and let your partner experience the magic.
Open your heart. Don't overthink things or be too much of a perfectionist. The strongest connections are founded on spiritual intimacy.
Take a weekend away. Whether you're still in the first flush of love or entering your second decade together, there's still nothing better than checking into a nice hotel for a night. Take your time over a romantic dinner and make sure to have breakfast in bed.

MONEY
You're an adventurer at heart, and love to see new places when you get the chance. Expanding your horizons can really help to put things into perspective.When it comes to success, you're balanced and focused. Your glass tends to be half-full, and you're always happy to have it topped off! You see life as a marathon rather than a sprint and tend to think in terms of long-term goals. You put lots of effort into everything you do and get a great sense of fulfillment from the results. You're dedicated and committed, but don't forget to let your hair down every now and again. A little treat is just what you deserve!

HEALTH
No time for a leisurely breakfast in your house. There's far too much to get done. It would be good to try and find the time for a little peaceful meditation before the race against the clock begins!Unappealing as it may seem, it would be good to try to be a bit more active every day. You might be surprised at how much you'd actually enjoy regular exercise. It may sound hard to believe, but endorphins are better than chocolate if you just give them a chance! You may even find that you're in a better mood more often. Start off with something that isn't too intimidating, like climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator. You might even consider signing up for a few personal training sessions in the gym so that you have a program that's tailored just for you. You may need to think about making a few changes what you eat too. Maybe you could try making homemade versions of your favorite restaurant meals to reduce the sodium and fat content and eat healthier without compromising too much on taste.

FOOD
You like to take care of yourself with minimal fuss, so you tend to go for more straightforward recipes. Some seafood and fresh vegetables make you feel good on the inside and help keep you looking good on the outside. Why not spice things up by getting inventive with sauces? That little bit extra can turn your nutritious dishes into something really special.

HOME
If you were given the opportunity to live your dream life, chances are you'd feel more at home settled in a cute country cottage than living it up in a mansion. Your low-key attitude means you'd prefer to get away from the stresses of city life and take it easy, perhaps spending your time in a colorful garden. Fresh air, birds chirping and home-grown veggies for dinner...what's not to like?

ENTERTAINMENT
You have a vivid imagination and enjoy letting yourself be transported away from everyday life, so the escapism of the silver screen is perfect for you. Whether it's the latest blockbuster or a quirky arthouse offering, you love a night at the movies. Why not get some friends over for a themed DVD night? Fancy dress can be optional...just make sure you've got plenty of popcorn!

STYLE
You're polished, chic and sophisticated. First impressions count, and you like to make a good one. You're successful, driven and motivated. Whether it's at work or at play, you always give 100 percent and thrive on a challenge. Every once in a while, though, it's great to let your hair down, so why not indulge in a spa day and show off your pampered and pedicured feet in some strappy sandals?

TRAVEL
You're inquisitive, open-minded and interested in history. You love to discover new things and experience new places. For you, the tourist trail is best avoided. After all, it's the hidden gems that make traveling so exciting! You love to thoroughly immerse yourself in culture, so chances are you'll end up in a museum or gallery at some point on your trip.
