<br />
Dating is does not come easy for everyone. But it is especially challenging for introverts who have limited social energy.<br />
<br />
According to experts, here are some of the best advice that they can give to introverts who want to find someone.<br />
<br />
<b>Be open to small talk</b><br />
<br />
Introverts are not a fan of small talk. They'd rather go straight to the point. Small talk does not aim to contain all of life's meaning. It does not aim to go deep. However, this is a good way to connect with another person. If you start a conversation deep, you may give out too much information and the conversation might be awkward.<br />
<br />
When you go to a coffee shop, don't plug your headphones right away. Try to project the aura that you are approachable. Who knows, a random conversation may end up with a date.<br />
<br />
<b>Try to party</b><br />
<br />
Make an effort to attend gatherings. Not going to party invitations or sitting at the corner will not help you meet someone. While it is understandable that introverts aren't excited at big parties, make it a point to meet a few people and strike up some small talk.<br />
<br />
<b>Go online </b><br />
<br />
Introverts are better in writing than in conversation. You may join a forum or an online group that has the same interests as yours. The Internet can be an avenue to talk to others and connect.<br />
<br />
<b>Be yourself</b><br />
<br />
Be comfortable in your own skin. Do not create a persona of who you want to be. Instead, be yourself. You can only keep up pretensions for a while, but you cannot do that forever.<br />
<br />
If you don't put yourself out there, how will potential dates find out about your existence? So make an effort and meet others.<br />

<br />
Having close relationships does not happen at the snap of a finger. There are certain factors that come into play such as your compatibility, how you click during the first time you met, the same interests, and so many other things. Some friendships start out on the wrong foot but they end up as friends. Friends are called such because of the common things that you share. So where can you find friends?<br />
<br />
<b>Volunteer for your favorite cause</b><br />
<br />
Volunteering can be a good way to help others and meet new people as well. When you volunteer, you can develop your social skills and have fun at the same time.<br />
<br />
<b>Join a New Club or Take a New Class</b><br />
<br />
Your community has various clubs depending on your interest. All you have to do is look it up and find your favorite club. You can also do something new such as enrolling in a painting or cooking class. By doing these things, you are able to meet new people who share a common interest with you.<br />
<br />
<b>Be a friendly neighbor</b><br />
<br />
Visit your neighbor and invite them for a drink or a meal. Some are not so keen in reaching out to their neighbors but if you can take the first step, it can be a start of a beautiful friendship.<br />
<br />
<b>Reconnect with old friends</b><br />
<br />
Social media has brought us closer. We are able to meet new people even from the other side of the globe. We have reconnected with long-time friends and made new ones as well. Exert an effort to reach out to that high school or college classmate.<br />
<br />
Every school has an alumni association. Update your contact information with the association and participate in alumni activities.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Check out local events</b><br />
<br />
There may be a book reading night in your area or something that requires community participation. Check out those events and meet new friends. This is a good place for networking as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Reasons Why You Want to Make New Friends</b><br />
<br />
Sometimes, your commitments to work, family and romantic relationships can make you lose touch with your friends. It could also be that sometimes, old friendships have faded through time or you may have drifted apart.<br />
<br />
It’s great to meet new people especially if you are new in the area, or if you are a newbie at work. Going through crisis such as separation or death of a loved one is another reason that you may want to meet new people for a fresh start.<br />
<br />
It does not matter how old you are. You do not have to be the life of the party in order make new friends. It is important that you realize there are also people who may feel awkward in making new friends. By being willing to accept changes, you can meet interesting people and create a friendship that will last a lifetime.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-4419690693599193052017-01-14T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-14T00:00:29.230+08:00Top 5 Reasons Why Being Single is More Fun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you are feeling rather blue because almost all of your friends are paired up while you remain single, here are some reasons why being single is more fun.<br />
<br />
<b>Better Relationships with Family and Friends</b><br />
<br />
When you are single, you tend to stay at home more or go out with your family. You get to talk to each other, share ideas, and bond. You will start to appreciate the little things among your family members.<br />
<br />
Dating too much can have its toll on you. You will eventually get tired and you tend to value being with your friends more than finding the perfect man.<br />
<br />
<b>More “Me” Time</b><br />
<br />
You do not have to check or update your status on social media. You do not have to check on anyone anymore. There is also no need to check your phone every now and then if there is something that you’ve missed. You do not have to wait for a call or text that does not come. You can concentrate on improving yourself and you do not have to answer to anyone but yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>Being alone is totally okay</b><br />
<br />
You are content in being alone and prefer to be left alone at times. Today, every one seems to want to be in the company of someone else. By being used to going solo, you can be independent.<br />
<br />
<b>Free to Meet New People</b><br />
<br />
Being single means that you get to meet and be friends with different kinds of people. It also means that you get to choose a partner and would not settle for just anyone.<br />
<br />
<b>Maturity</b><br />
<br />
You know your worth and you know that you have to love yourself first before loving someone else. As you enjoy your being single, you grow to be a mature person emotionally.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-76756912011286318032017-01-12T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-12T00:00:10.017+08:0012 Secrets to a Lasting Relationship<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Some relationships last for a lifetime, while some relationships fail and go poof. Do you every wonder what the secrets in maintaining a long-lasting relationship are? How do couples stay together for years and not lose the love?<br />
<br />
Here are 12 of the important factors that come into play – sugars, spice, and all things nice that make up a great and lasting relationship.<br />
<br />
1. Don’t let your past affect you. Let go and move on. Don’t be bitter about your past. Learn from past mistakes but don’t live in the past .Cherish your new relationship and realize that the person is not the same as your ex.<br />
<br />
2. There should be communication because it is extremely important in any relationship. Communication may not be easy especially if you need to talk about sensitive topics. Opening up to how you really feel especially during a fight is important. Some issues may be challenging but you have to talk it out nevertheless.<br />
<br />
3. Constantly reaffirm your partner. This can help a lot in improving your relationship.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone needs some time alone. A healthy relationship is one where you do not have to do everything together. Give each other room to grow. It is perfectly fine to do something with your friends that does not involve your partner being nearby.<br />
<br />
5. Admit your faults instead of blaming your partner for it.<br />
<br />
6. Laughter is the best medicine. Have some fun time and share a good laugh with your partner. Sometimes, in a fight, cracking a joke can help resolve things.<br />
<br />
7. Honesty is a basic factor for a healthy relationship. Be open to your partner.<br />
<br />
8. Learn to forgive. If you cannot make up, you are bound to break up sooner or later.<br />
<br />
9. Trust is earned. Do not give your partner a reason to doubt you at any point in your relationship.<br />
<br />
10. Just as couples need to be lovers, they also have to be the best of friends. When the passion fades away, it is the friendship that keeps people together.<br />
<br />
11. You and your partner have imperfections. Learn to deal with these and be patient. Relationships end not because of the problems but because you are no longer willing to try to make it work.<br />
<br />
12. Love and love some more. Love is the key. Love yourself and love your partner. Both of you are not perfect but you are perfect for each other. Do not build walls around. Instead, open up and love.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-68243983728168419182017-01-10T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-10T00:00:15.116+08:0010 Effective Tips to Get Over Your Ex<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Break-ups are among the most painful experiences that many of us have to undergo. The pain of losing someone whom you shared your love with and looked forward to a future with – gone. This can be a devastating feeling to many and each of us has to cope somehow in order to be able to move on.<br />
<br />
Breaking up with your partner can bring back so many memories of past relationships that have failed, betrayals, and other sad memories in life. Healing takes time because you have to go through stages before you can accept everything that happened. The old adage “Time heals all wounds” is true.<br />
<br />
Oftentimes, there are those who get stuck in with their ex that they are not able to move on. They blame themselves, they try to find out what went wrong and the “what-ifs” come crashing down heavily on them. They get anxious, they get depressed, they get false hopes of reconciliation.<br />
<br />
To help you survive a break-up and avoid getting stuck with the thoughts of your ex, here are some ways that you can follow.<br />
<br />
1. Allow yourself to grieve and let it all out<br />
<br />
One of the effective tips to get over your ex is to grieve completely. The first few days of a break-up, you might want to let the whole world know that you are well and moving on. Let’s say that you have just ended a five-year relationship – it is fair enough that you let yourself grieve for a while. Putting on a false face that you have moved on is totally unbelievable. Don’t fool yourself. Call your friends and pour it all out.<br />
<br />
Grieving varies from person to person. Some grieve by crying, writing, talking with friends, drinking, consulting a counselor, processing memories, and many more. No matter how you do it, always remember that you can always call on your friends and family to help you get through it.<br />
<br />
2. Don’t blame yourself<br />
<br />
It takes two to tango. When a relationship ends, both parties have a role to play. The blame does not solely fall on one party alone. Do not let yourself get stuck in a blame game. One of the effective tips to get over your ex is to learn what you can about what happened in your relationship and then move on.<br />
<br />
3. Exercise your freedom<br />
<br />
When you are single and back in the market, you have no one to tell you what to do. There is no one to tell where you are going or someone waiting for you until you get home. You are free. Exercising your new-found freedom is one of the effective tips to get over your ex. Hop on that plane with your friend and go someplace that you have never been. Stay out as late as you even if it is just hanging out with friends. Watch TV all day without hearing any complaints. Find joy in doing all the things that you are not able to do when you were still in a relationship.<br />
<br />
4. Don’t Idealize your Ex<br />
<br />
One of the effective tips to get over your ex is to stop idealizing your partner. Remember the bad times and the fights that you used to have. It can help you move on easier.<br />
<br />
5. De-clutter<br />
<br />
Remove all the memories of your ex and place them in a box. You can throw or burn them away but make sure that it is what you really want. Avoid getting your things back from your ex as well.<br />
<br />
6. Stay Fit<br />
<br />
Going for a workout or even just jogging in your neighborhood can be good for your hormones. Sweating out can trigger happy hormones that can prevent you from getting depressed.<br />
<br />
7. Don’t contact your ex<br />
<br />
This is a very important tip if you want to get over your ex. Do not attempt any contact with your ex to help you move on easily.<br />
<br />
8. Closure<br />
<br />
If you are going to break-up, put a period to it. Do not let loose strings of hope hang around. It is either you are done or you aren’t.<br />
<br />
9. Pour your energy at work<br />
<br />
Some people become lousy at their job when they are heartbroken. How about channeling the negative energy to work by working extra hard and doing a better job. This can be an effective method for many while it might not work for some. However, working hard will give you a boost in your ego and that added praise won’t hurt. Throw yourself at your job and you might just find yourself to be productive.<br />
<br />
10. Hang out with friends<br />
<br />
Have you been seeing less of your friends when you were in a relationship? It’s time to make it up to them. They’ll accept you back anyway. Aside from that, they are a great way to help you through your grieving process.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-29820876185217929352017-01-08T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-08T00:00:11.675+08:00The Importance of Adult Play in a Relationship<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”</i><br />
<i>-George Bernard Shaw</i><br />
<br />
When we stopped being kids and started being adults, things can get quite boring. Play is not just for the young ones but also for the young once. It can be a source of relaxation with your partner, co-workers, and friends. Adult play can bring about and fuel your creativity and imagination. It can also improve your problem-solving skills that is often needed at work. If you little ones at home – whether your own kids or your nephews, or simply just the kids of your friends, try playing with them and notice that your mood will improve and your stress levels will go down.<br />
<br />
<b>Introduction to Adult Play</b><br />
<br />
Being adults, we are very much consumed with the need to earn more and commit to the obligations that we have. With that, we set aside the time for play and use it for work and other ways to make ends meet. Somewhere along the way, we have forgotten how it is to play and have pure fun even just for a day.<br />
<br />
Give some time for adult play by going out with your partner or friends. Simply spend some time going to the beach or playing basketball, volleyball, and other sports that you like. Goof off, go crazy, and be fun. Allow yourself to play like a child.<br />
<br />
<b>Adult Play Advantages</b><br />
<br />
We know that play is important for child development. This is also beneficial to adults. You are de-stressed, and you will feel lighter. If you have a pet, you can go play with your furry friend and even reap the benefits that come with it. Keep yourself away from electronics.<br />
<br />
1. Stress reliever – play can release endorphins which are known to be the feel-good hormones in the body.<br />
<br />
2. Improve cognitive abilities – having fun such as playing chess, puzzles, or board games can prevent memory loss and improve one’s brain functions.<br />
<br />
3. Boost creativity – when you are engaged in adult play, you sometimes have a surge of inspiration and creativity.<br />
<br />
4. Feel young at heart – adult play can help make you feel and look young.<br />
<br />
<b>Adult Play and Relationships</b><br />
<br />
Play can help keep the relationship fresh and exciting. This can bring joy and strengthen the bond of your relationship with your significant other. By adding play and humor in your daily interaction with your loved ones, you can boost the relationships that you have. Some of the benefits of adult play are the following:<br />
<br />
1. Improve social skills.<br />
2. Fosters cooperation.<br />
3. Can heal wounds.<br />
<br />
Relationships can also be fixed by incorporating humor and play in the situation. This will bring people closer and foster a positive bond.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-82450922870022482572017-01-06T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-06T00:00:12.022+08:00Top 3 Signs That You're an Insecure Partner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Being in a lasting relationship involves give and take and plenty of communication. Trusting one another is one major important thing in any long-lasting relationship. While there are times that jealousy can arise, this is normal. However, there are those who take jealousy to the next level and turn psychotic. Are you the insecure partner? If you answer yes to the things below, then you seriously need some working out in your security and confidence area.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Checking up on your partner is a requirement</b><br />
<br />
It’s like you are a security checkpoint that you have to read the messages of your partner and see his or her call logs. This his something that a mother would do to her teenage son or daughter. There are times that you think the contact names are fake just so your partner does not get caught in whatever you suspect he is doing. You know you have gone overboard when you copy his or her contacts and check on them.<br />
<br />
You also check on social media accounts and get notifications when someone sends a private message of some sorts.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Attendance</b><br />
<br />
You have to just know where and what your partner is doing during intervals. When you don’t get a reply, you go all bananas and throw a fit. You sometimes have to double check if what your partner is reporting is actually true. You even go to their nights out for a surprise visit.<br />
<br />
<b>3. No friends of the opposite sex</b><br />
<br />
Aside from your partner’s relatives, you are supposed to be the only outsider male / female in your partner’s life. When your partner looks at someone else to appreciate, you pick a fight.<br />
<br />
Trust is essential in any lasting relationship. If you are not able to trust your partner, chances are you will end up splitting.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-47724087498101889432017-01-04T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-04T00:00:11.679+08:00Top 4 Tips for Staying Positive<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Staying positive even when things are looking so bleak is never easy. Happiness is a choice that you have to make. Does being sad and negative solve your problems? I don’t think so. You get wrinkles, a high blood pressure, and bad dreams. Dwelling on the negative side of things does not result to anything good. AT ALL. That is why it is better to maintain a positive attitude to get you through the bumps and hurdles that life is going to throw at you. By adopting a cheerful attitude, you can improve your quality of life and work life.<br />
<br />
Based on studies made, if you want to live longer and have a lasting relationship, try to be optimistic. If you want to die earlier, be the pessimist. The choice is all yours. However, you might want to know that being positive can add 7 years to your life.<br />
<br />
How do you achieve that positivity despite everything bad that is happening around you? There are times when you are at the edge of sanity because problems are pouring in like rain. Here are 4 sure ways to get you to stay positive in life.<br />
<br />
<b>Stress Management</b><br />
<br />
For some stress is a way of life. They do not anymore notice it because it is there from the time you wake up until you sleep. However, stress can take its toll on you. Too much stress can break you down.<br />
<br />
Stress is always there but how you manage it can do wonders in your life. Every person reacts to stress differently. Some like to read, listen to music, go out, meditate, and many more. Find a stress buster that works for you. Sometimes you just have to let it go.<br />
<br />
<b>Have a Reliable Support System</b><br />
<br />
When you have problems, bottling them in is most oftentimes suffocating. The frustrations, disappointments, and other negative feelings must be let out. Consider confiding to close friends or your mentor. Having a strong support system can help you through rough patches in life. Make sure to choose people who will lift you up instead of add to your depression.<br />
<br />
<b>Find Inner Joy and Motivation</b><br />
<br />
Joy and happiness is needed in staying positive. Think happy thoughts. Think about the things that make you happy. Find the thing that keeps you going.<br />
<br />
Do something that you love so that you can continue staying positive. This can let you live a meaningful life.<br />
<br />
<b>Be Prepared for Just about Anything</b><br />
<br />
Life can throw you lemons, sometimes it can throw you rotten eggs. We cannot predict what will happen in the next minute. The most important thing is to not let anything pull you down. If you fall down, get back up. Problems and challenges will always be present. Be ready to accept these and learn to move on.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-1751780149801674292017-01-02T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-02T00:00:05.038+08:005 Tips for a Lasting Long Distance RelationshipMost of the time, a lasting long distance relationship does not really make it. Or so that is what many people believe. Family and friends may discourage it and they will tell you to not take it seriously because you will end up heartbroken.<br />
<br />
Nobody will tell you that it is easy because the distance itself is a major factor that makes a lot of things hard to do. Simple things can become complicated and you may feel lonely a lot of times.<br />
<br />
But despite that all, as long as you hold on, the extra mile makes the simplest of holding hands and kisses very much special. Eating together and facing your significant other in person and not through a flat screen, actually talking without the phone in your ear, feeling each other’s slightest touch, walking together, smelling each other’s hair – these simple things are more precious in a long distance relationship.<br />
<br />
Long distance relationships are not easy. Turning them into a lasting relationship can be a huge challenge for both parties because of the temptations and bumps along the road. To keep the fire burning, here are some helpful tips that you can do to make your long distance relationship work and turn it into a lasting relationship.<br />
<br />
Get a Good App for Messaging<br />
<br />
In this age of technology when we are connected to the Internet 24×7, get a good messaging application that can express your feelings more such as those that have emoticons and emojis. This can save you a lot of long distance calls because it’s free and easy to use.<br />
<br />
Regular Communication<br />
<br />
For a relationship to grow, both parties must exert the effort. Set a common time where you talk with each other and make it a habit. You can also think of creative ways to talk to each other like setting online dates or finding a creative way to make your communication more fun.<br />
<br />
Do things together like watching the same movie at the same time or playing a common game. It may sound cheesy but you can walk together outside while on video call.<br />
<br />
Know about each other’s schedules<br />
<br />
It is helpful if you know when the other is busy or when he or she is free so that you can talk during your common free time. When there are sudden changes to the schedule, make sure that the other is informed. This is very useful when you are in different time zones.<br />
<br />
Be Honest<br />
<br />
Do not break your trust with each other. Talk about how you are feeling. Try not to hide anything from your partner because keeping too many skeletons in the closet is not really helpful if you are trying to build a lasting relationship.<br />
<br />
If you are going to go out with your friends or do something that may not make your partner happy, it is either you do not go or you tell your partner beforehand where you are going.<br />
<br />
Visit each other<br />
<br />
In every long distance relationship, visiting each other and seeing each other even for a short time is the highlight of the relationship. Take time to book that flight or drive that extra miles to see your significant other.<br />
<br />
Just because you are in a long distance relationship does not mean that you are alone and lonely. There are plenty of things that you can do to occupy your mind and then look forward to talking about it with your partner.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-78998291919205723562017-01-01T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-01T00:00:33.345+08:00Staying Healthy as Your New Year's Resolution<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As we welcome the new year, we go about making New Year's resolutions. The best gift that you can give yourself is health because health is wealth. Staying healthy is a choice that you have to make if you want to improve your quality of life. It is not easy but you can do it as long as you set your mind to it.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Eat Healthy</b><br />
<br />
Pay more attention to fruits and vegetables, health proteins, whole grains. Keep away from sugars especially those foods that contain a high amount of sugar. Also watch your caloric intake.<br />
<br />
<b>Exercise</b><br />
<br />
Keep your body moving. There are many physical activities for you to choose from such as walking, dancing, swimming, biking, gardening, hiking, and many more.<br />
<br />
<b>Quit Smoking </b><br />
<br />
Stopping smoking is a challenge for many. But it is not impossible. You live a longer life and have a healthier lifestyle if you stop smoking. You also lower your risk of acquiring various diseases if you learn to give up smoking. Overall, you can save a lot of money.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Stress Management </b><br />
<br />
Exercise can be a good stress buster. On the other hand, deep breathing, yoga, and mindfulness can also help you minimize and better manage your stress.<br />
<br />
New Year's resolutions are easily made and easily broken. But if you make this a habit, you can maintain a healthy lifestyle.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-61390707977716720662016-12-31T00:00:00.000+08:002017-01-01T13:57:54.238+08:00Top 3 Signs of Emotional MaturityEmotional maturity is something that is often overlooked in looking for a partner. Sometimes, it is not even a priority because it is taken for granted. It is a common notion that when you are attracted to someone, everything else will fall into place.<br />
<br />
If you are into short-term relationships, then emotional maturity does not really matter. if you are “just dating” and meeting up for a “good time” or dating several others, then emotional maturity is not much of a requirement.<br />
<br />
But if you are in it for the long haul, emotional maturity should influence your decision in choosing to stay in a relationship. This is also a determining factor in sustaining a long-term relationship.<br />
<br />
During the start of the relationship, when everything is wonderful and colorful, the level of emotional maturity is not that obvious yet. When the “honeymoon” phase of the relationship ends, that is when you see really see each other – the good and the bad. Here are some signs that your partner is emotionally mature.<br />
<br />
<b>Dealing with emotions</b><br />
<br />
Emotionally mature people are able to keep their emotions in check before they act out. They are also responsible for their action and whatever else they say or do. Emotionally mature people are also able to deal with the emotions of others.<br />
<br />
Those who are emotionally immature get caught up with their feelings by being dramatic. They distract themselves from the problem and at times even blame others for their problems and disappointments.<br />
<br />
<b>Independence</b><br />
<br />
People who are emotionally mature are able to balance being independent and being dependent.<br />
<br />
Needing someone all the time is a sign of emotional immaturity. There is a time when you have to learn to be independent for your own personal growth and you do not need someone to be complete.<br />
<br />
There are times that you can do things as a couple while there are times that you need some time for yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>Self-confidence</b><br />
<br />
An emotionally mature individual is someone who exudes self-confidence and optimism.<br />
<br />
An emotionally immature person is someone who always seeks attention and constant gratification from his or her partner.<br />
<br />
<b>How to become emotionally mature</b><br />
<br />
It is not too late. If you feel that you have yet to grow emotionally, or know someone who is still emotionally immature, here are some helpful things to do:<br />
<br />
1. Start thinking about others and give something back to society. Do things for other people.<br />
<br />
2. Expand your network of friends. Find people who bring out the best in you.<br />
<br />
3. Remain honest with yourself. Know yourself and who you are.<br />
<br />
4. Cooperate with others instead of trying to outsmart everyone all the time. It does not have to be your way all the time.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-44397227306064293552016-12-30T00:00:00.000+08:002016-12-30T00:00:08.968+08:00Top 4 Reasons Why Couples Should be Friends First<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You may wonder if being friends first is a good thing to start with as the foundation of any lasting relationship. There are a lot who believe that a man and a woman can be friends – as in real friends. However, it has been found out that some of these women who are friends with guys have a secret crush on them actually! Interesting!<br />
<br />
Not all friendships may turn move into being a relationship but it can be a very good connection to start with being friends first before jumping into a romantic relationship. Here are some good reasons why couples should be friends first.<br />
<br />
1. Jumping too quickly in a relationship and getting into bed without knowing each other on a deeper level is only good for a short period of time. But if you move too fast in a relationship, the chances of being committed may not be that great.<br />
<br />
2. Sex is not everything. When this is the main thing that makes your relationship, it will not last long. Emotional compatibility must be taken into consideration as well. Someone must be able to make you feel fulfilled not only inside the bedroom, but outside of it too. If you have a great connection in the bedroom, how much more if you can meet someone who respects and cares for you a lot.<br />
<br />
3. When you start out as friends, you become comfortable with each other just like friends are. This makes the transition to the next level smoother and more successful because you know each other’s mannerisms and other traits. As friends you have a more solid foundation, you know what each other wants and you can decode each other’s moods. There are no expectations and pretensions when you are friends beforehand.<br />
<br />
4. When you and your partner trust and respect each other, you are also able to tolerate each other more because you are friends before you are lovers.<br />
<br />
We live in a time where relationships are short-term, where one-night stands are very common and where romance means jumping into bed the first chance you get. Trust plays an important role as you move from being friends to being lovers. When you have a relationship founded on mutual trust and understanding, you are in for the long haul.<br />
<br />
The foundation of friendship can lead to a lasting relationship and it gives you something to look back to on how you were brought together. If all you have to glue you together is going to bed, then the relationship is most likely to go south.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-32226371591605027652016-12-28T00:00:00.001+08:002016-12-28T00:00:25.870+08:00Top 6 Ways to Have a Productive Work Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>“Simplicity boils down to two steps: Identify the essential. Eliminate the rest.”</i><br />
<i>― Leo Babauta</i><br />
<br />
How productive can you be in a week? Do you get everything done on schedule or are you almost always cramming up during the last minute? Know the culprits that counter productivity and how you can avoid them.<br />
<br />
<b>Act on it</b><br />
<br />
One of the ways to have a productive work week is to stop planning for so many things. It is perfectly correct to plan ahead but too much planning can make you unproductive. Remember that too much of something is not good. Being behind the planning desk can make you lose more time. If you can do something now and not put it off, then do it now.<br />
<br />
<b>Worthwhile meetings</b><br />
<br />
If you want to have a productive work week, as yourself: “Are those meetings really necessary?” Do you need to attend them or is your presence absolutely required in those meetings? There are a lot of people who spend more time attending meetings instead of working. Try to track the time that is consumed when you attend meetings. You will be surprised at how much time you are spending.<br />
<br />
<b>Do not be too agreeable</b><br />
<br />
Do not be the “yes” man in the office. Sometimes it is better to say “no” to a request in order to get things done. If you have a schedule to follow, saying “yes” to tasks that are outside your schedule can ruin your activities that are planned for the day.<br />
<br />
<b>Perfection</b><br />
<br />
If you are always aiming for perfection, it will take up more time for you to finish a task. By striving for perfection all the time, you are spending more time than necessary. In the end, you lose previous time which affects productivity.<br />
<br />
<b>Take down notes</b><br />
<br />
List down the things that pop in your head. There are so many options for note-taking be it on your tablet, smartphone, or the traditional pen and paper. By listing down the things that you need to do, you can set your priorities better instead of relying on your memory. This is one of the ways to have a productive work week.<br />
<br />
<b>Assess your week</b><br />
<br />
Before you start a new work week, examine and review the past week whether you accomplished the things that needed to be done. Celebrate your success and enjoy the weekend.<br />
<br />
Even though you may be working on a schedule, you are still your own boss. By keeping control of your schedule and commitments and sticking to them, you can be sure that you remain productive.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-30098210912822276482016-12-28T00:00:00.000+08:002016-12-28T00:00:07.859+08:00Top Ways to Attract a Successful Partner<br />

If you want to attract a successful partner into your life, you have to be the kind of partner that successful people will want to be with.<br />
<br />
Success can make you look attractive in the love department – and you can also attract a potential partner.<br />
<br />
If you want to attract a successful partner in life and have a lasting relationship, then you also have to be successful yourself. Nobody wants a partner who’s just sitting around and slacking all day. You will want a partner who will go places with you and achieve things in life.<br />
<br />
Below are some qualities that make a person attractive.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Know what you want</b><br />
<br />
You must have the drive and the ambition to strive for excellence. The most important quality in a person is his or her ambition. Get your act together, be responsible – pay your bills, be dedicated to your work, and remove too much drama in your life if you want to attract a successful partner.<br />
<br />
Your potential partner will want a partner who is equally ambitious – in a good way. This drive to be better can improve your life. Your goals must be first. If you and your partner have dreams that you want to achieve, there is less petty quarrels between you because your time and energy is focused on reaching your goal.<br />

<b>2. Learn to take risks</b><br />
<br />
Life is all about risking it all. There are times that you just have to let go and take the necessary risks – calculated ones. This can better yourself and it can also be an attractive quality for a potential partner.<br />
<br />
If you do not take risks, then you will never go anywhere.

Do you want to finally be able to follow your New Year's resolutions after so many years of junking them? New Year gives us a good feeling in that we can start all over again and take on a new lease on whatever we want to change. But for many or us, the resolutions from yesteryears are still the same resolutions for the new year. We tend to abandon these resolutions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What seems to be the problem? Apparently, self-control is one of the reasons why we cannot maintain those resolutions. What can we do to really stick to the resolutions this time around?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Psychology has 4 things that can help you finally, follow those resolutions to the T.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Form Implementation intentions </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Various studies have shown that people tend to follow and do something if they form the intention. For example, you will go to the gym when your alarm sounds. By forming an implementation intention, you will be ready when you encounter the cue and follow through is more likely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Focus on the abstract</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Instead of physical properties of a particular thing or situation, you can divert your focus on the intangible properties. If you are tempted to eat a slice of cake, then focus on the abstract property such as the cake's healthy or not? This tends to promote more self-control.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Bundling Choices</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When you bundle choices, you train yourself how to act now and on future situations. This can help you make choices that you are not going to regret. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Self-control </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Self control is a limited resource. Save it until you need to use it and avoid temptations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It takes the right kind of planning to keep your resolution. It is a good decision and you will realize later on that it is worth it. </div>

<br />
Have you ever dated or been in a relationship with a guy who seems to have everything under control only to find out that he is not the man you are expecting him to be – but a boy? Do you realize that being in a relationship with an emotionally immature guy is kinda hard?<br />
<br />
How would you like to know that the guy you’re dating is mature enough to handle things and be a good partner? Can you spot an emotionally mature man? Do you know what an emotionally mature man looks like? Here are some helpful signs to watch for if you are dating a grown-up boy or a mature guy.<br />
<br />
1. Emotionally mature men have no problems coming up with a decision about something. They do not stress themselves out in coming up with a decision because they know what they want.<br />
<br />
An emotionally immature man cannot make up his mind and he keeps on stressing about their inability to decide.<br />
<br />
2. Another sign of an emotionally mature man is being responsible and admitting that he is wrong. He does not point his fingers everytime something goes wrong.<br />
<br />
3. One sign that you are dating a mature man is by observing his relationships. He tends to have close relationships with friends and family.<br />
<br />
4. An emotionally mature man is not afraid to show his feelings. Though it does not meant that he just blurts out what he feels, he can explain his feelings and what he likes and does not like. A mature man can express his thoughts without being mad.<br />
<br />
5. A mature guy is not afraid of commitment. You are able to spend quality time with him.<br />
<br />
6. Shallow vs. Deep. When a guy has reached maturity, he has something meaningful to share with another person. He can share something about his life and has his own opinion to form. An emotionally immature man is just a surface and nothing else.<br />
<br />
7. Having a stable job is another sign that the guy you’re dating has reached maturity.<br />
<br />
8. An emotionally mature man has a plan with his life. He knows where he wants to be a few years from now and he plans for it in order to achieve his goals.<br />
<br />
You deserve a lasting relationship with a guy who will treat you well. When you are involved with an immature guy and try to make it work, you might be in a lot of trouble and become immature as well – that is of course, unless you grow together as a couple and reach emotional maturity.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-8851066565383342792016-12-25T14:30:00.000+08:002016-12-25T14:30:13.260+08:00I Quit!

Changing jobs can be a stressful decision that can make or break your career. Despite the fact that you want to stay on your job, sometimes, you just have to get out. When can you say that you need to move to another path and find a new job?<br />
<br />
Are you often stressed when you are at work? Do you feel as if you no longer belong at the office?<br />
<br />
Here are some ways to tell that it’s time to pack up and find a new job.<br />
<br />
<b>Not feeling the passion and excitement</b><br />
<br />
You wake up every morning and feel forced to go to work. You no longer have the passion for your work as before and things are just monotonous and each day drags on until it’s time to go home.<br />
<br />
<b>Dreading work</b><br />
<br />
Every morning, you dread going to work.<br />
<br />
<b>You don’t like your co-workers / boss</b><br />
<br />
We have co-workers and bosses from hell. But when things remain the same despite trying to resolve it, maybe it’s time to leave.<br />
<br />
<b>Unhappy at work</b><br />
<br />
Everytime you are at work, you feel stressed out, you are full of negativity, and you are simply unhappy even with the smallest of things. In addition to that, you are starting to get unhealthy due to work-related stress.<br />
<br />
<b>Unproductive</b><br />
<br />
You are lagging behind and your performance is poor. Your talents are not really being put into good use. These are some more signs that you should quit your job.<br />
<br />
<b>More responsibilities, same pay rate</b><br />
<br />
Your job description have changed, you have more work to do, but the pay rate has not increased. This could mean that your company is downsizing and is not performing well.<br />
<br />
<b>Stagnation</b><br />
<br />
You do not feel like you are growing with the company and you are not learning anything new. There is no more room for improvement even though you still want one.<br />
<br />
<b>Abuse</b><br />
<br />
If you are being abused in work in whatever way, don’t think twice, get out.<br />
<br />
Once you have decided that you are going to leave your job, plan ahead and look for other opportunities before making a graceful exit.<br />

However, it is said to make a relationship healthier and stronger. Just because you are done with the courtship and honeymoon phase does not mean that you should not experience new things together. As a matter of fact, you should because this can strengthen the bond between you and your partner. It does not have to a very expensive travel. You can choose a place not far away that you haven’t been to. Try out new activities and enjoy them together. If you want to go somewhere that is more pricey, set aside a budget for that until such time that you are ready. Traveling as a couple is highly encouraged for partners to have a more meaningful and lasting relationship.<br />

<br />
So what are the benefits of traveling as a couple?<br />
<br />
<b>Getting to know each other more</b><br />
<br />
The more you spend time with each other, the more you know about each other. You will understand each other’s body language and there you can even finish each other’s sentences. If you travel often as a couple, you soon develop a secret language that is second nature as you speak. There are also aspects of your partner’s personality that you do not get to see at home but comes out when you are away from home.<br />
<br />
<b>Make new memories together</b><br />
<br />
When you travel as a couple, you build more memories together. Sweet memories that you can look back to with fondness. You can be as extreme as you want to be or simple revel in the new experience together. Sharing new situations and even weird experiences will bring you even closer.<br />
<br />
<b>Travel as a team</b><br />
<br />
When you often travel together as a couple, there are decisions to be made as well such as places to go or dine, entertainment, budget, and many more. In time, you look out for each other, learn, and influence each other.<br />
<br />
<b>Someone to take care of you</b><br />
<br />
When you travel as a couple, you feel safer. Even though you are in a new place, there is still that feeling of familiarity. You will also have someone to take care of you when you are not feeling well.<br />
<br />
<b>More savings</b><br />
<br />
Traveling solo can be quite expensive as opposed to traveling with your significant other. There are things that are cheaper when you are with company such as bus rides, hotel rates, and car rentals.<br />
<br />
<b>More photos</b><br />
<br />
You can take more photos because someone is there to take a photo of you. Better yet, you are not always solo on photos because you can take a picture and preserve the memory with your partner.<br />
<br />
<b>Experiences are better shared</b><br />
<br />
Traveling opens up a whole new horizon ahead of you. There are experiences that are better shared with your significant other. Of course, you can write about your experience later on or tell stories about it to your friends. But having some to share that moment with you is simply priceless.<br />
<br />
Traveling as a couple can enrich your togetherness as a couple. Travel is easier when you have company. There will also be ups and downs during your travels and you have to sort it out together to make your relationship stronger than ever.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-43934051879455903402016-12-24T00:00:00.000+08:002016-12-24T10:44:08.241+08:00Top 5 Things that Guys Immediately Notice in Girls<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Do you think that you are a good communicator? If we compare male vs females, females will definitely get the point on this one. Most women are good in communication but they have a hard time communicating with their boyfriends when the boyfriend starts to shut them out. Why does that happen?<br />
<br />
There is a simple answer to that. Emotions. Do you notice that the closer the person is to us, the worse we treat them? A woman having a hard time talking with her boyfriend is a common occurrence.<br />
<br />
You see siblings fight the way they do and husband and wife talk to each other they way they do because of all the emotions. You would not dare say something to other people something that you say in a fight with your sibling or spouse, would you?<br />
<br />
The closer that we are to a person, the more we involve our emotions. If you are mad and irritated at your boss, you do not shout at him right away because you want to keep your job. But in a relationship that is run my emotions, we usually hold nothing back.<br />
<br />
In order to resolve and prevent your guy from closing down on you, communicate with them using words. Do not use raw emotion in talking to them because this will seem like an attack to them and guys will end up distancing themselves more from you. It is hard to communicate with your boyfriend if you are going to appeal to him using raw emotions.<br />
<br />
The solution? Since guys are a whole different species, use words to bring the message across.<br />
<br />
For example: “<insert name or endearment here>, I am feeling sad because I feel that something has come between us. I do not want to lose you and I value our relationship so much. Can you please tell me what’s bothering you?”<br />
<br />
Why can this method be effective? Here are the reasons:<br />
<br />
1. There is no need for your man to read between the lines.<br />
<br />
2. The problem is conveyed to him as-a-matter-of-factly. Give a man a clear problem and he will solve it according to the way a male brain works.<br />
<br />
3. The way you expressed your emotions to him will make him want to be your knight in shining armor.<br />
<br />
Ladies, it is very easy to show your emotions to your boyfriend. But this can scare them away. Hope that these simple tips can do wonders on your relationship so that it will no longer be hard to communicate with your boyfriend.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-33998705753289293142016-12-13T16:00:00.000+08:002016-12-18T18:47:04.371+08:00How a Guy Treats His Mother<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
How a guy treats his mother is something to watch out for. Remember that there are exceptions to the rule but you will be able to pretty much tell the kind of guy you are dating by observing his relationship with his mom.<br />
<br />
A mother’s relationship with her son is different than that of the relationship between a mother and daughter.<br />
<br />
What are the things that make the perfect man for you? Each woman has her own set of standards that make up an ideal man. One of the factors that affect a woman’s standards is the way a man treats his mother. This is an indicator on how a man will treat a woman when they are husband and wife. Studies have shown evidences that a man’s relationship with a woman is reflected by how a guy treats his mother.<br />
<br />
Simple things to look for in a guy are the following:<br />
<br />
1. Respects and honors his mother.<br />
2. Makes sure that his mother’s needs are met.<br />
3. Checks on his mother randomly.<br />
<br />
Any other things that are opposite to what are indicated above must ring warning bells. It is a different case if your guy has been abused or abandoned by his mother. Also consider his relationship with other women such as friends and officemates. This can give you an insight on the kind of guy that you are dating.<br />
<br />
The guy that you are dating may just be the one for you if you see how a guy treats his mother. The type of relationship that a man has with his mother can also be a factor that can make or break the future with a guy.<br />
<br />
Mama’s Boy<br />
<br />
A mama’s boy is constantly reassured by his mom that no one will be good enough for him. If you are dating this kind of guy, then boy, you have a lot to fill in like acting like his mother. Not a good idea.<br />
<br />
Balanced Relationship<br />
<br />
A man with a balanced relationship with his mother is supported by his mother but they are not dependent on each other unlike a mama’s boy where they appear to be joined at the hip. This type of man will be more mature and is able to talk with women, as well as engage in healthy relationships.<br />
<br />
The Rebel<br />
<br />
A rebel type of guy is detached from his mother and may have a lot of baggages such as an absentee or abusive mother. This can cause a relationship to fail.<br />
<br />
A mother’s role in her son’s life is to be a able to nurture, care, and provide for him. Being too protective of her son or wanting to have a say in almost everything that pertains to his son’s life can affect your relationship a lot.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244089210748057089.post-72312263235968066952016-12-10T16:00:00.000+08:002016-12-18T18:47:37.946+08:00Baby It's Cold Outside: Being Single During the Holidays<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
'Tis the season to be jolly.. and single!<br />
<br />
Being single during the holidays can be quite frustrating. Relatives will be bothering you with the same questions about your love life; married family members will be telling you stories of how fulfilling it is to be a parent, and so on.<br />
<br />
Aside from Valentine's Day, Christmas and New Year are among the times when you feel how single you are to an even greater degree.<br />
<br />
Each holiday you spend with family and relatives is different. There comes a point when everybody is stressing over school, or sometimes the first job ever. Then by and by, you notice that everyone's life is changing - they are bringing home their partners, and later on, their kids. For someone who has been single for every holiday, save for some non-committal boyfriend, it may make you feel as though nothing in your life has changed.<br />
<br />
Being single during the holidays can bring a complicated mix of emotions that can be sometimes hard to deal with. But remember, your life is not stagnant at all. Your life is moving forward, just maybe not the way that others or you yourself has imagined. While you had the best Euro trip earlier this year, that will not beat a relative's wedding. But that's okay.<br />
<br />
The holidays is the time that you can make the best time for yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Have plans</b><br />
<br />
Just because you are single does not mean that you should stay at home and watch reruns of whatever shows. Reach out to friends whom you haven't seen for a while and have a dinner party or a simple get together.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Pamper yourself</b><br />
<br />
Indulge yourself with some luxurious pampering or buy yourself those expensive clothes. Decorate your home and make it Christmasy. Who days you can't make your home look a lot like Christmas?<br />
<br />
<b>3. Do something for others</b><br />
<br />
Volunteer your time to help others do their errands. Babysit, or bake some goodies for your friends and co-workers.<br />
<br />
<b>4. You are not alone </b><br />
<br />
Remember that you are not alone. You will always have your family and friends even though they have their own families.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Work on that New Year's resolution </b><br />
<br />

<br />
1. You are contented being alone.<br />
<br />
You feel complete despite the fact that you are single. You are married to your job or whatever it is that eats up most of your time. Some people do better by being self-absorbed. That is not a bad thing actually.<br />
<br />
2. You are horrified by the thought of being with a single person for the rest of your life.<br />
<br />
You simply want to enjoy life and do not want to commit to one person. You want to meet other people and at times, feel desired by many.<br />
<br />
3. You can’t stand the thought of sharing your place with someone.<br />
<br />
You do not welcome other people to tell you what things to buy or how to design your place.<br />
<br />
4. You do not want someone telling you how to manage your finances.<br />
<br />
You are very thorough with your finances and you do not want someone to question you on how you spend your money and where it goes. You also feel that you do not want to support someone else financially.<br />
<br />
5. You cannot envision your future with children.<br />
<br />
Some people can see themselves having lots of kids with a partner. However for you, this idea simply is not appealing. You cannot see yourself raising your own family.<br />
<br />
6. You refuse to be responsible for the emotions of others.<br />
<br />
You prefer to look after your own emotions and other needs. You prefer to not have any rules or schedules.<br />
<br />
7. You look at marriage as a prison – well, sort of.<br />
<br />
For you, getting married will destroy your physical attractiveness. For women, having babies mean that their figure will be destroyed. As for men, they will become less desirable when they are married.<br />
<br />
8. You prefer to make decisions on your own.<br />
<br />
You want to make your own plans and do not require the opinion of others. Compromise is not in your vocabulary.<br />
<br />
9. Weddings do not excite you.<br />
<br />
You tell yourself that you are lucky not to have any of those marital problems.<br />
<br />
10. For you being single has more perks than being tied down.<br />
<br />
Even though you see your married friends happy and contented with their life, you still enjoy the freedom of being single because single life means freedom.<br />
<br />
Choosing to be single is not a bad thing at all. There are people who made their choice to be single just as there are those who prefer to enjoy married life.lastingrelationshiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01972413260329566049noreply@blogger.com0
