Nurture Your Relationships

Maintaining good relationships with family and friends gives you emotional support and makes you feel more positive, thus reducing stress levels and engendering calm. All relationships need to be worked at, so that everyone feels valued and loved. Learn to listen to what others have to say and be present for them. Practice kindness, tolerance, forgiveness, and trust. Confide in your friends or family and tell them how you are feeling...don't hold it all in. Host a dinner, have a girls night out, treat your mother to lunch. They will be there for you.
