HEALTH CORNERSTEPS TO BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS IN 2019

We’re approaching the end of the first quarter of the New Year. You may have abandoned your New Year’s resolutions and you’re trying to erase your Christmas debt. In terms of your emotional health and wellness, these tips taken from a New York Times article (12/26/18) should turn your attention to building better relationships in 2019.Become a More Patient Person: Patience, the ability to keep calm in the face of disappointment, distress or suffering, is worth cultivating.Revive an Old Friendship: Studies show that high-quality friendships provide many positive health benefits. Stop Being So Hard on Yourself: “Core to self-compassion is to avoid getting caught up in our mistakes and obsessing about them until we degrade ourselves.”Navigate the Financial Side of a Relationship: Your attitude about money begins in childhood, starting with your parents’ behavior around spending and saving, experts said. A budget can seem like drudgery: a forced diet on your spending buffet. But budgets aren’t just about reining in your wallet; they’re also about deciding where your money will go, road maps to shared destinations. Your Wayman health ministry hopes this guide to building better relationships will lead to positive outcomes with your physical, emotional and spiritual health.
