IF YOU SEE THIS, YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS FALLING APART

Hello and welcome to this page.  We have all seen the signs a relationship is falling apart. How often have you gone to a restaurant and watched a couple not speak a word to one another? They stay married for the sake of being married and mechanically go through the daily motions of life. 

These couples have nothing in common and most likely have not embraced each other for years. No affection. No emotion. No warmth between them.

They may have been in love at one time, or maybe they weren’t. The fact is that they are no longer in mutual love. These couples may have grown tired of each other or taken two different paths in life. Many relationships fall flat in what is known as the “convenient” stage of marriage.

Why do relationships fall apart?

Relationships can fall apart due to several reasons. Usually, it is not just one reason a relationship would fall apart. It is primarily a combination of several factors. 

1. Loss of trust
2. Lack of communication
3. Lack of respect
4. Lack of intimacy
5. Different priorities
6. Lack of effort

Here are 10 signs your relationship is falling apart

How to save your relationship starts with acknowledging the signs your relationship is failing.

1. Lack of intimacy

Lack of sex, intimacy, or touch is one of the first signs of your relationship falling apart. Sex is the glue that cements your relationship as a couple. It’s special and sacred to just the two of you. It’s a powerful act of togetherness that keeps you centered and connected.

Without sex and affection, the two of you have become good pals. A marriage falling apart will exhibit the signs your relationship is falling apart.

2. Poor communication (or none at all)

How to know if your relationship is falling apart? When there is an evident lack of communication.

Lack of daily communication with your partner is one of the signs your relationship is falling apart. When relationships start to crumble, silence is generally one of the first indicators. When loving text messages, emails, and phone calls become scarce or non-existent, it could be time for a relationship check-up.

If you ask whether “my relationship is falling apart?” then bridging the communication gap with your partner is pivotal in understanding how to save a relationship.

3. PDA is non-existent

If your public displays of affection have become public displays of separation, you may have cause for concern. Touch is driven by love. When you are in love, you want to touch your partner.

When sweet kisses, hand holding, and walking arm-in-arm have been replaced by crossed arms and a measurable distance between you, those are obvious signs your relationship is falling apart.

4. Terms of endearment are rarely used

You will witness an elevated formality with your partner when you feel like your relationship is falling apart. When “Sweetheart,” “Honey,” and “Lover” have been replaced with “Angela,” “Jack,” and “Stacey,” you might want to listen up.

The way your spouse addresses you exudes signs your marriage is falling apart. Love elicits loving terms of endearment. Your boss should call you by name; your partner should not.

5. No more common interests

Doing activities as a couple strengthens your bond. Mutual interests keep you connected as a couple. When you explore life as a tag team, you look forward to your time together. It’s like being married to your best friend, with the bonus of sex. 

When your relationship is falling apart, the interests you once enjoyed together might have become strictly solo adventures. 

What to do when your relationship falls apart from a lack of common interests?

Well, you may need to restructure your interests to merge back together as a couple. How to fix a relationship that’s falling apart sometimes necessitates putting the interests of your partner before yours.

With a fragment of love and attraction still felt by both of you, your relationship may require a bit of polishing to reboot and get back on track.

6. You don’t spend time together

All date nights and quality time together are now almost non-existent. You both have stopped spending any time together. Even if you live in the same house or room, there are barely any conversations.

7. You keep secrets

How much do you both know about each other’s lives at this point? If the answer to that is “not much,” chances are that, unfortunately, your relationship is falling apart. 

If either of you are doing things you do not want the other to find out or are just secretive because you do not want them to be a part of your life, it could be one of the signs.

8. You lose your temper easily

If everything your partner does has started to irk you, it could be one of the signs that your relationship is falling apart. The little endearing things about them have become the most annoying bits of their personality. 

9. You’ve run out of compromises

Compromises are a part of relationships. Now and then, one person compromises to make sure the relationship remains healthy and smooth. However, if one partner starts to feel like they are the only one who compromises for the sake of the relationship or feels like they have run out of them, it could be one of the signs your relationship is falling apart.

10. You lose your sense of self

If the relationship encroaches upon your sense of self – your self-respect, individuality, or self-worth, it could be one of the signs that your relationship is falling apart. If you are not happy and satisfied as an individual, it gets tough to be happy in a relationship.

Once you determine if an aspect of attraction is left in your relationship, how do you go about pulling your relationship out of the fix-it stage? Easy! You put in the effort.

UKIZITUMIA KAULI HIZI KUMFARIJI MTU ZITAZIDISHA HUZUNI KWA MUHUSIKA

Haya ni makosa ambayo tunayafanya bila kujua, kwasababu katika muda huo, tunakuwa hatuna njia ya kumfanya aliyeondokewa na mali au mtu ajisikie tuko pamoja naye katika machungu.

Na kwakuwa ni vigumu kwa muhusika kukueleza kwamba nataka kufanyiwa au kuambiwa kitu fulani ndio nitajisikia vizuri, inakubidi utumie ujuzi wako binafsi kutafuta njia ya kumfanya ajisikie vizuri.

Hapo sasa balaa ndio linaanza,kwani mara nyingi maneno tunayochagua kumwambia aliyepotelewa hayamfanyi ajisikie poa bali yanamfanya aanze kutafakari ulikuwa na maana gani.

Na hii inatokana na si wote wana uwezo wa kutafakari kauli zinazotolewa na watu wengine katika mtazamo chanya.

Hebu tuangalie maneno ambayo hupaswi kuyasema  kwa muhusika:

1."Shukuru (ameishi/umeishi nacho) miaka mingi"

Unapoongea kauli kama hii inampa picha mtu huyo, kwamba jambo hilo lilipaswa kutokea kwake,na hivyo hapaswi kuhuzunika.Yawezekana kuna ukweli ndani yake, lakini unapoongea mbele ya muhusika haitamfanya ajisikie vizuri.

2."Muda wake ulifika"

Hata kama umekosa la kuongea hii kauli sio kabisa,itamfanya akuone umefurahia tukio hilo.

3."Alikosea/Ulikosea sana ku.... "

Ikiwa tukio lilikuwa la ajali, hata kama liliempata alisababisha usiongee kauli kama hii kwa muhusika,itaonekana kana kwamba alifanya uzembe na alistahili kupatwa na hilo.

4."Kuna sababu ya kila kitu"

Hii  kauli kweli ina maana, unapofikiria kwa kina lakini si nzuri kuizungumza kwa mtu aliye kwenye majonzi.

5."Usihofu utampata mwengine tu"

Ikiwa mtu amepoteza mtoto, mume au mke, kauli ya kumwambia kwamba asihuzunike na kuwa atapata mwengine tu,itamfanya aone hukuwahi kuona umuhimu wa aliyeondokewa naye,na ulikuwa unaombea hilo litokee.

Mara nyingi maneno haya yanapotamkwa na muhusika yanakuwa na matumaini zaidi kuliko yanapotamkwa na mtu mwengine wa pembeni. 

Ni heri utumie maneno kama:

1."Pole sana kwa yaliyotokea" 

2."Natamani ningekuwa na maneno mazuri ya kukueleza ujisikie vizuri"

3."Niko pamoja nawe katika hili"

4."Niko pamoja nawe katika sala"

5."Tulimpenda wote"

6."Ukihitaji msaada, niko hapa kwa ajili yako"

TABIA YA KUWAFARIJI WENZETU WANAPOPATWA  NA MATATIZO, NI NZURI SANA NA ITAWAFANYA  WAJISIKIE VIZURI.

KWELI YAWEZEKANA UNA TAFSIRI YAKO MOYONI JUU YA TUKIO LILILOTOKEA,  LAKINI IWEKE MOYONI UKIONA HAITAMFARIJI MUHUSIKA.

WOTE TUNAWEZA KUWA TUMAINI KWA WENGINE PALE WANAPOPATWA NA  MATATIZO 

KWA KUTUMIA MANENO NA NJIA SAHIHI 

KUELEZEA HISIA ZETU PIA.

WAJIBU WA TCAA KATIKA SEKTA YA USAFIRI WA ANGA NA UHUSIANO NA MAMLAKA ZA VIWANJA VYA NDEGE

Mara nyingi kumekuwa na mkanganyiko kuhusu majukumu ya Mamlaka ya Usafiri wa Anga Tanzania (TCAA) na Mamlaka ya Viwanja vya Ndege Tanzania (TAA), huku baadhi ya watu wakidhani kuwa taasisi hizo zinafanya kazi zinazofanana. Hata hivyo, kila taasisi ina majukumu yake mahsusi, ingawa yote yanachangia katika kuhakikisha sekta ya usafiri wa anga nchini inakuwa salama, yenye ufanisi na inayokidhi viwango vya kitaifa na kimataifa.

Historia ya usafiri wa anga Tanzania inaanzia kabla ya Uhuru, wakati huduma za usafiri wa anga zilipokuwa zikisimamiwa kupitia taasisi za pamoja za Afrika Mashariki. Baada ya kuvunjika kwa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki mwaka 1977, Tanzania iliendelea kujenga na kuimarisha mfumo wake wa kitaifa wa usimamizi wa usafiri wa anga kupitia mageuzi mbalimbali ya kisheria na kiutawala.

Leo, TCAA ndiyo taasisi yenye jukumu la kusimamia sekta ya usafiri wa anga nchini kwa mujibu wa Sheria ya Usafiri wa Anga, Sura ya 80. Majukumu yake yanahusisha usimamizi wa usalama, ulinzi na uchumi wa sekta ya usafiri wa anga, pamoja na utoaji wa huduma za uongozaji ndege.

Katika kutekeleza jukumu hilo, TCAA inahakikisha kuwa watoa huduma mbalimbali katika sekta ya usafiri wa anga wanazingatia sheria, kanuni, taratibu, viwango na masharti ya leseni zao. Hii inahusisha mashirika ya ndege, waendeshaji wa viwanja vya ndege, watoa huduma za ardhini, vituo vya matengenezo ya ndege, taasisi za mafunzo ya anga pamoja na wadau wengine wa sekta.

Kwa upande mwingine, TAA ina jukumu la kuanzisha, kuendeleza, kuendesha, kusimamia na kutunza viwanja vya ndege vilivyo chini ya mamlaka yake Tanzania Bara. Pia inaratibu shughuli mbalimbali zinazofanyika katika viwanja hivyo na kuhakikisha huduma zinatolewa kwa ufanisi na kwa kuzingatia matakwa yanayotakiwa.

Kwa upande wa Zanzibar, majukumu ya kuendesha, kusimamia, kutunza na kuendeleza viwanja vya ndege vya Serikali yanatekelezwa na Mamlaka ya Viwanja vya Ndege Zanzibar (ZAA).

Ni muhimu pia kufahamu kuwa TAA na ZAA ni miongoni mwa watoa huduma wanaosimamiwa na TCAA katika masuala yanayohusu usalama, ulinzi na uzingatiaji wa viwango vya usafiri wa anga. Watoa huduma wengine wanaosimamiwa na TCAA ni pamoja na mashirika ya ndege, viwanja binafsi, wamiliki wa viwanja vya ndege kama TANAPA, Mamlaka ya Hifadhi ya Ngorongoro na TAWA, pamoja na taasisi mbalimbali zinazotoa huduma katika sekta hiyo.

Kwa ufupi, TCAA inasimamia sekta ya usafiri wa anga, wakati TAA na ZAA zinaendesha, kusimamia, kuendeleza na kutunza viwanja vya ndege vilivyo chini ya mamlaka zao.

Ingawa taasisi hizi zina majukumu tofauti, majukumu hayo yanakamilishana katika kuhakikisha Tanzania inaendelea kuwa na mfumo wa usafiri wa anga ulio salama, wenye ufanisi na unaozingatia viwango vinavyotambulika kitaifa na kimataifa.

KISUKARI ni moja ya magonjwa yanayoathiri watu wengi siku hizi nchini mwetu na hata nje.

Kati ya hao, wengi huishi na ugonjwa huo kwa muda mrefu na kuja kugundua kwamba wana

kisukari baada ya muda wa kama miaka mitano hivi, baada ya mwili kuanza kuonesha dalili kuu za kisukari.

Ndani ya kipindi hicho cha miaka mitano, tayari mwili unakuwa umepoteza baadhi ya uwezo wake katika macho, figo, fizi na neva za fahamu. Kisukari hakina dawa ya kutibu kabisa, bali vipo vichocheo (hormone) na dawa zinazosaidia kurekebisha kiwango cha sukari mwilini.

Je, vipi mtu aweza kutambua kuwa na kisukari mwilini? Zipo dalili kadhaa zinazotokea kwa

wenye kisukari. Baadhi ya hizo ni kiu ya maji isiyoisha, njaa kali, kwenda haja ndogo mara kwa mara na vidonda au michubuko kuchukua muda mrefu kupona.

Nyingine ni ngozi kuwa kavu na kuwasha, mgonjwa kupoteza uzito bila sababu, kuwa na ukungu machoni, kuchoka kusiko kwa kawaida, hisia kupungua katika vidole na viganja

mikononi na miguuni na kuwa na ukungu katika fizi, ngozi na kibofu cha mkojo.

Hatua za mwanzo za kisukari huwa na dalili chache sana, hivyo inawezekana kabisa mtu asifahamu kuwa ana kisukari, ingawaje madhara yanaweza kuwa yameshatokea katika macho, figo na mfumo wa usukumaji damu mwilini.

Watu wengi wanaopatwa na kisukari huangukia katika makundi ya wenye umri unaozidi miaka 30, uzito mkubwa na uzito uliokithiri (uwiano kati ya uzito na urefu zaidi ya 25 na 30),

kadhalika, watu wasiofanya shughuli za kuupa mwili mazoezi huwa katika hatari hiyo, kama

ilivyo kwa wale wanaozaliwa katika familia ambayo mmoja kati ya wanandugu wa karibu ana kisukari. Mwanamke kujifungua mtoto mwenye uzito wa zaidi ya kilo nne na aliyekuwa na kisukari cha ujauzito anaangukia pia kwenye kundi hilo, sawa na wale wanaokuwa wamepata ajali na kuumia sehemu za tumboni au kula chakula chenye sumu ambacho kinaweza kuumiza

kongosho.

Upo umuhimu wa kupima kisukari mapema basi, ili kuepuka mtu kuishi nacho kwa muda mrefu pasipo kujua, na kusababisha madhara kusambaa mwilini na kumwathiri mwathirika.

Ni muhimu kuzingatia mazoezi, uzito, lishe na ushauri wa wataalamu wa afya, kwa sababu husaidia kupunguza makali na madhara yatokanayo na kisukari.

Watu wenye kisukari wapo katika hatari zaidi ya kupatwa na magonjwa ya moyo, kiharusi, matatizo na kuharibika kwa kibofu cha mkojo, shinikizo la juu la damu, upofu, kufa neva za fahamu, uharibifu katika fizi na ugonjwa wa fangasi.

Mtu anapokuwa na kisukari, mzunguko wa damu miguuni hupungua na hii ndiyo sababu kubwa ya kufa kwa neva za fahamu na hivyo mtu kukosa hisia katika eneo hilo la mwili.

Matokeo ya hali hiyo ya kutohisi punde mtu anapodhurika na kusababisha kidonda ambacho mara nyingi mhusika anakuwa hafahamu hadi anapofahamishwa na mtu wa karibu au atakapokagua miguu yake.

Hii ndiyo sababu kubwa ya watu kushauriwa kukagua miguu yao kila siku kabla ya kulala kuona kama kuna mchubuko wa aina yoyote au ukucha unaoweza kuchimba ngozi. Kutokuzingatia masharti ya kujikagua huweza kusababisha kidonda kukua, kutotibika na hatimaye mgonjwa kuishia kupoteza kidole, unyayo au hata mguu.

Vile vile, kutokuzingatia masharti ya kujua kiwango cha sukari mwilini huweza kusababisha mtu akapoteza fahamu kutokana na mwili kuzidiwa sukari asidi (diabetic ketoacidosis), na hii huweza kusababisha kifo mara moja.

Mgonjwa anaweza kuzuia madhara yatokanayo na kisukari kwa kuzingatia maelekezo, masharti na ushauri wa wahudumu wa afya, hasa kuhusu chakula na mazoezi na maelekezo ya utumiaji sahihi wa dawa au insulin.

Mgonjwa hatakiwi kuvuta sigara, awe anapima kiwango chake cha shinikizo la damu mara kwa mara na kuhakikisha kiwango chake cha lehemu kipo katika uwiano unaotakiwa. Takwimu zinaonesha kuwa uzingatiaji wa hayo yaliyotajwa umesaidia watu wengi kupunguza madhara ya kisukari kwa asilimia 75.

Lishe mahsusi kwa mtu mwenye kisukari ni mlo wenye kiwango kidogo sana cha mafuta, kiwango kidogo cha chumvi na kiwango kidogo cha sukari. Mlo uwe na mchanganyiko wa

nyuzinyuzi kama vile dona (unga wa mahindi yasiyokobolewa), nafaka, tambi, ndizi za kupika, mtama, uwele nk.

Vile vile matunda machachu na mboga za majani zilimwazo na zile za porini ziliwazo kama mchunga, tembele, majani ya maboga, majani ya kunde na mbilimbi. Ni vyema kujitahidi kula kiasi kidogo cha chakula walau mara tano kwa siku kuliko mlo mkubwa mara mbili au tatu kwa siku.

Isipokuwa kwa sababu zisizozuilika, mgonjwa asiache kula, kwani ni mbaya kwa utendaji kazi wa mwili. Katika kudhibiti kiwango cha sukari mwilini, ni muhimu mwathirika kupata maelekezo yahusuyo njia na jinsi ya kupima na kujua kiwango cha kawaida cha sukari mwilini.

Watu wengi wenye kisukari huwapasa kutumia aina ya insulin kabla ya kula chakula kulingana na kiasi cha wanga ulio kwenye chakula anachotarajia kula. Kupima wingi wa wanga katika

chakula husaidia kupanga mlo.

Kujitambua wakati kiwango cha sukari kikiwa juu kupindukia ni kwa kupima damu angalau mara tatu kwa siku, ikiwa ni pamoja na kabla ya kwenda kulala. Mara nyingi watu hupima asubuhi au alfajiri wanapoamka, mchana wa adhuhuri au alasiri na jioni au usiku kabla ya kulala.

Ikiwa sukari mwilini ni nyingi kupindukia, inaweza kumlazimu mgonjwa kutumia insulin ya ziada inayofanya kazi ndani ya muda mfupi (short acting insulin) ili kurejesha kiasi cha sukari

katika kiwango cha kawaida.

Mgonjwa atafahamishwa na mhudumu wa afya au daktari kuhusu kiwango cha insulin cha kutumia kulingana na wingi wa sukari aliyo nayo mwilini kwa wakati huo. Licha ya kuwapo wingi wa sukari mwilini, kuna kisukari ambacho mgonjwa huwa na upungufu wake pia.

Matumizi yasiyo sahihi ya insulin au kutokula chakula husababisha kiwango cha sukari kwenye

damu kupungua kuliko kawaida na hivyo mwili kushindwa kufanya kazi yake ipasavyo.

Dalili za hali hiyo ni kuhisi uchovu bila sababu, kupiga miayo kupindukia, kushindwa kuzungumza au kufikiri vyema, kupoteza stamina, kutoka jasho, kupata vichomi, degedege karibu na kuzimia, kuhisi kuishiwa nguvu au pamoja na kuzimia na mwili kupauka.

Mtu akipatwa dalili hizo inabidi atafute kinywaji kitamu anywe. Aina ya vinywaji vifaavyo ni kama juisi ya matunda (nanasi, zabibu, tufaa, papai ) vile vile soda (si diet soda) au alambe kiasi cha sukari nyepesi (glucose) au pipi.

Baadhi ya maeneo huuza vidonge vya glucagon, ambavyo ni vizuri kubebwa na kuhifadhiwa nyumbani kwa matumizi ya nyakati kama hizo. Glucagon pia hupatikana katika njia ya sindano na hii inaweza kutolewa na mtaalamu au mtu aliyeruhusiwa kuitoa kupitia kwenye mishipa ya

damu (intravenous glucagon injection).

Inawezekana kuishi maisha ya kawaida kabisa ikiwa mhusika atakuwa makini kulinda afya yake

kwa kuzingatia ushauri na mafundisho ya wataalamu wa afya.

TRUST ME,WE NEED OTHER PEOPLE TO BE HAPPY::HERE IS WHY

Hello !! Time has gone by since I last drooped to you through this platform. I have to admit that I missed these moments and now thank God I am back and rolling. 

When analyzing the role of those around us towards happiness i realized that for a lot of people, 2022 meant trying times. And divisiveness. We fought with politicians, neighbors, family, friends, the media, men and strangers we’ve never even met, thanks to social media.

AND NOW Our hope for 2023? Perhaps it’s remembering that as much as the people around us can drive us up the wall, no man is an island. It takes all types to make the world go ‘round. And people are meant to be around other people (even those we don’t always agree with).

“Human beings are an ultra-social species — and our nervous systems expect to have others around us,” Emiliana Simon-Thomas, PhD, Science Director of the Greater Good Science Center at The University of California, Berkeley, tells NBC News BETTER. In short, according to biology, neuroscience, psychology, and more, our bodies actually tend to work better when we’re around not alone.

Being lonely has been linked to worse physical and emotional health outcomes and poorer wellbeing. Plus, a lack of social support can directly affects our potential for experiencing happiness, explains Simon-Thomas, who studies the biology of our emotions and thinking. “We’re built to really seek social companionship and understanding.”

Here are all the reasons why:

1. Being around other people makes us healthier.

Physiologically, not having a social support system is actually a source of chronic stress for our bodies, Simon-Thomas explains. Studies show that when people feel lonelier they have higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol. And that type of chronic stress raises risk of cardiovascular disease and other challenges to health and wellness, Simon-Thomas adds. Conversely relationships can encourage behaviors that are good for us, too (like eating right and exercising).

So it makes sense that studies show having fewer social ties is associated with more heart disease, cancer, and impaired immune function, as well as with worse recovery when it comes to those health problems.

Research dating back to the 1970s suggests people with weaker social networks actually die younger (due to any cause) than people who have more extensive social networks. A more recent review of 148 studies concluded that on average having stronger social ties increased likelihood of an individual’s overall survival by as much as 50 percent.

2. Our brains seem to work better when we work together.

There’s a growing body of evidence that suggest our brains actually function better when we’re interacting with others and experiencing togetherness. That’s according to a 2015 review article published by a group of Finnish neuroscientists in the journal Neuron.“Social interaction is among the most complex functions humans (and their brains) perform. Yet, the interaction typically appears surprisingly easy,” the coauthors write in the paper.

Research shows, for example, that listening and participating in a two-person conversation is actually less mentally taxing for the brain than giving or listening to a monologue, even though what we understand about how we process language would suggest otherwise. Other studies show children learn better by interacting with other rather than observing.

3. Psychologically, we prefer to go through life NOT alone.

Psychology says that part of human nature’s default mode is to be social. One theory: people have an innate (and very powerful) need to belong. Some key arguments (published in the journal Psychological Bulletin in 1995) is evidence that shows most people make social ties under most conditions — and most people try to avoid breaking those ties if they can.

Another way to think about it is the social baseline theory, which suggests the human brain expects access to social relationships. That’s because those connections help lower potential risks one might face (think “safety in numbers”) and lessen the amount of effort needed when it comes to a variety of scenarios (if the objective is to build a shelter, there is literally less work for each individual if two people do it).

Experiments have shown that simply holding someone else’s hand lessens an individual’s emotional response in the brain to a perceived threat. (The effect was even greater if the person’s hand you were holding was a spouse.) Another oft-cited experiment found that individuals actually perceived a hill to be steeper if they were standing at the bottom alone compared with when they stood at the bottom with a friend, Simon-Thomas notes. “Just having another person there and present, who you trust and feel safe around makes the world look like a less challenging place,” Simon-Thomas.

4. When we’re around people who drive us crazy, we grow.

So what about the coworker who cannot stop preaching his political views? Or your friend’s best friend who you just cannot stand to be around? It’s good when relationships challenge us, says Simon-Thomas.

They can help us extend our status quo and how we see the world, she explains. “These ‘being driven crazy’ moments are truly well thought of as opportunities for growth and transformation, which can ultimately be a more poignant source of sustained happiness.”

That’s because having a diverse variety of emotional experiences — including feeling sad, angry, anxious, or irritated — expands our capacity to feel good, too, she explains. And it’s totally normal for our closest family and friends to be the ones who do that.

The exception is when a relationship’s negatives outshine its benefits. Be wary if a relationship encourages bad habits or causes distress, says Debra Umberson, PhD, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Population Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin. “A bad relationship is worse than no relationship when it comes to health.”

DO IT BETTER: Being grateful for the people around us helps

Simon-Thomas’ advice for reaping the benefits of your social ties: Be grateful for your relationships (including those that challenge you).

Research shows people who are more grateful tend to be happier, tend to be more satisfied in their relationships, tend to be less vulnerable to various physical discomforts, tend to be more resilient when it comes to stress and trauma, and are more well-like by others compared with people who are less grateful, she says. “Make a point of noticing who around you is contributing to the goodness in your life and actually express it by saying thank you.”

And remember, it’s okay to have some “you” time when you need it. We all need time to ourselves to rest, decompress and reflect on whatever’s going on in our lives, Simon-Thomas says. It recharges us for when it is time to face (and embrace) the rest of the world again.
