2nd Good Relationship Matter

To develop destressing, health-promoting relationships with family and friends.

Watch your nonverbals. Research suggests that at the very most only 30 percent of what we communicate takes place verbally, with 70 percent or more occurring nonverbally. A simple look, gesture, or touch can speak volumes, communicating affirmation, acceptance, and approval, or their opposites. Never underestimate the power of your nonverbals to cultivate relationships.

Deal with conflicts directly. When a friend offends you, follow this ancient wisdom of Scripture: “Argue your case with your neighbor directly, and do not disclose another’s secret”. When you break a confidence and tell others behind a friend’s back about the trouble between the two of you, you lose credibility with your friend and with those you’ve told about it. Dealing directly with an offender isn’t easy at the time, but has the best chance of preserving friendships in the long run.

Forgive wrongs done against you. Nothing can paralyze a friendship like a hurt that’s not forgetten. 

Observe the golden rule. Every other relationship-building principle can be wrapped up in this one. When you can do to others what you would want them to do to you if you were in their place, you will be doing the best you can to assure yourself of relationships that have the power to keep you well.

Seasonal Car Mats

Springtime is about to end and summertime is fast approaching. On these seasons, the best thing to do is to travel. On springtime it would be so nice to drive and climb a mountain and enjoy the blossoms and green trees. On summertime it would also be best to drive to beaches and enjoy the waves. During these seasons our car would be our ultimate aid. Since our car is our best friend on seasons like this, I think it is just right to reward our car with accessories.

 Accessorizing our car would not only create a good feeling it would also add security or safety. Take for instance the car mats; aside from the fact that it brings beauty to the interior of your car, it also helps in prevent from the dust in getting inside. Other than that, it prevents wearing off of car floor paint. Getting a car mat with designs that would fit the season would be much desirable.

Think of 30 Minute Meals

Time runs fast and we always need to cope up with things in this fast pace world. Time may not be enough especially if you are a working mother. You have to take care of yourself and you family and make sure that their health is not compromise. We just can’t get enough time especially in the morning. We cook breakfast for our family and get ourselves ready for work. Most likely we wake up too early to fix things up and at times get to work a bit sleepy, with that “rest” got compromised and at the end of the day we may feel stressed out.

It is very important that we plan things ahead, and manage our time. In my case I get things ready before going to bed at night and that make morning so manageable. Among my remedy is to look for foods that can be done in short time and are easy to cook especially for breakfast. I want to share this recipe that can be cooked in 30 minutes, simple yet so nutritious. With 30 minute meals you would much have time dining with your family.  Let me share this recipe, surely you family will love it.

Health Insurance

About 45 million Americans does not have health insurance. That’s quite a number and that is something I think president Obama should look in to secure his constituents. There are also quite a number of health insurance in US that we might consider.

I know one real good health insurance which I think would benefit us. The insurance policy offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and WellPoint. Ever heard about Anthem Tonik Insurance?

Good Relationships Matter

What can be done to develop destressing, health-promoting relationships with family and friends?

Treasure close friends. In this book WHY AM I AFRAID TO TELL YOU WHO I AM? John Powell identofoed five levels of communication: stranger (communicating nonverbally and with cliches), acquaintance (reporting the facts), casual (sharing self-disclosure of feelings and emotions), and intimate (complete openness, in which you can share anything and feel your confidence will never be betrayed). Time availability and emotional capacities limit most people to 12-15 close friends and 3-5 intimate friends. If you have friends at the close or intimate levels, treasure them as among your greatest assets. Everyone can have at least one intimate, safe, friend in God.

Be an active listener. In the modern environment in which radios and TVs are often used to provide background noise, people are taught to tune out the human voice while they work on the other things. Unwittingly they thus train themsleves to tune out family members or friends who talk to them.

Dr. Ronald Nathan nad Marian Stuart point out in their book Coping Wth the Stressed-out People in your Life that we can think three to four times faster than most people talk. That makes it tempting to be preparing a response or even thinking of other things while someone is talking to you. It takes effort to concentrate on what someone is saying, trying to feel what they are feeling, asking questions for clarification, feeding backwhat you are hearing. But that’s the discipline of cultivating healthy relationships.

Moving Out

Moving out and moving to is hard to do. It’s too much of a hassle. You have to carry all those heavy stuff from the house to the truck and from the truck to a new house. Aside from the fact that it is strenuous, moving out may be costly especially if you don’t own a vehicle.

One of my friends at one time decided to move to a new apartment. I decided to give a hand, so we contact some local to help us in moving her stuffs. There were several moving companies in the next town so we also contact one. We decided on the cost of labor and so off we go. Almost everything was in order except for some minor damage when moving some stuff. When we finally had moved we now have to pay the moving company. To our surprise for some reason they ask for a little extra. Well, to avoid arguments we just pay them and send them off our way.

Moving is real arduous, good thing is that we now have movers that simply comes to our aid getting us a stress-free moving experience. They help us ease the troubles of moving. I get to know one of Los Angeles moving companies the Melrose Moving. They are a local Los Angeles moving company that provides commercial and residential moving services at budget prices. Because they are an employee-operated company with a minimum overhead, they are able to offer their customers pricing that is about 30% lower than their competitors.  This company is quite promising; they guarantee to make your moving experience as smooth and efficient as possible. As movers Los Angeles they will spend the time to explain all their prices and policies ahead of time, so that you would not face any surprises or unexpected fees during the move. Their movers strives to always arrive on time, and work in an efficient pace, while being careful in wrapping and transporting your belongings as safely as possible because they know that the belongings you are entrusting to their care are irreplaceable and often hold sentimental value, therefore, they would treat them with the same care and respect as if it is their very own. These are things that simply make Melrose Moving one of the best moving companies Los Angeles.  So if you are planning to move, give them a call today for a free estimate or moving quote at 1-800-431-3920, or 1-818-442-2007.
