Relationships.....

Relationships are vital to our humanity. Without the warmth, contact, network, support, closeness of it all you might say, what would even be the purpose of existence. Have you ever heard of a happy, blissful hermit? I don’t think so! Be nurturing to relationships including you…you are an important relationship to someone else.

1) Get a dog…who doesn’t love a wagging tail.
2) Give more hugs. Hugging releases the same chemical as a massage and is always free!
3) Make time for your friends. Personal connections are so important and making even a little time to be with people who make you smile can keep you happy.
4) Make new friends. Meeting other people is exciting and finding a new person with whom to connect can only enhance your fulfillment.
5) Write thank-you notes….it’s a lost art these days, but expressing gratitude makes you and the recipient happy.
6) Call your mom, dad, grandma, or a friend, anyone you haven't talked to in a while and surprise them with a chat.
7) I am not a big cat person but get one if you're not a dog person, cats make wonderful, loving, stress-reducing housemates and bed-warmers….even moody one’s-they’re just funny.
8) Communication is key, key key! Never hold in something if you feel it in your gut, that’s your gut telling you the obvious. Nothing ever gets settled without a bit of word action.
9) Cuddle up with someone you love. Enjoy time with your kids or your lover for instant happiness.
10) Hang with kids. Being around children's infectious optimism is sure to boost your mood.
11) Hold a baby. They're cute and cuddly and without a care in the world—you'll feel instantly uplifted.
