6 Steps To Get Over Your Ex
If you know that you’ll *eventually* be over your ex, why not make that time now? I know exactly how it is. When I broke up with my ex-fiance of five years, I was a wreck. I didn’t know when I’d start feeling better and I was convinced that feeling my emotions would destroy me (overdramatic much?).

Guiltless Gift Guide
Am I the only one who thinks like this? I hear so much about people saving for months upon months or even maxing out their credit cards in order to buy an often unnecessary Christmas gift. Now, before you pin me as a bit of a scrooge, I would like to state that I do enjoy giving gifts, but I do not believe that people should go into debt for the sake of a seasonal celebration. These overspending habits often lead to feelings of financial guilt. I have often suggested the total elimination of gift-giving altogether in order to set financial health as the priority.

How to Live Alone
How to Live Alone When I first realized that I would be moving for a new job, I was excited. I thought that I would have so much time to meet people, do whatever I wanted, take my classes, and work! I had not anticipated the depth of my biggest challenge thus far, loneliness.

Mindful Gifting...
Gifting is an art form. Something that should have thought put into it. Never to be gone into lightly. When one thinks about gifting the individual should be thought of completely, never what one thinks the other person wants, but knows the other person wants or needs. This is a key component to proper gift-giving. As of recent, it has also become imperative that we think about what footprint any gift we give has, as we need to think about our footprint in general. So this art form has taken on a new level of dynamics that make it open for more creativity, in my opinion, of course.

How to Talk to someone when you are angry
1. Don’t React To Anger With Anger Know that you’re only getting angry because someone seems to be angry with you. Try to take a step back and figure out why the person feels the way they do. It could be either due to a misunderstanding, an assumption due to misinformation, or they could just be having a bad day. 2. Stick to the Subject of concern Make your point without attacks or accusations . It can be very easy to get angry and just open the floodgates in terms of every little thing that has annoyed you recently, but it’s not helpful to bring it all up in the context of a single conversation. 3. Take a Timeout If you are in an argument, STOP. Tell the other person this is not going anywhere and that you’d like to take some time and continue in another xx minutes. This takes a ton of self-restraint, but it will likely achieve a much healthier end point overall. 4. Listen and Prepare Try to hear the other person’s point of view. Sometimes we go into a conversation so mad that we forget the other person has an entire inner world of their own, and they may have perceived what happened very differently. By being prepared to listen and absorb, you may come to realise that you can’t even stay angry any more. 5. Write your feelings and thoughts Whether it’s keeping a journal or writing a scathing email that you’ll never send, putting words down on paper is an important step for coping with anger. This also has the secondary effect of allowing you to understand why you were so angry to begin with, which is helpful for understanding triggers going forward. 6. Breathe In and Out Deep breaths increases oxygen flow to angry brain and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, the opposite of “fight or flight”, often called “rest and digest”, which leads to a state of calmness. Next time you get angry, try this out. 7. Distraction Distraction is a short term but important technique for managing anger. Ask your partner for a time-out and try playing a distracting game on your phone for about 20 minutes. In fact, researchers are developing computer games for that very purpose. After 20 minutes of distraction, you’ll be able to apply a level-headed approach to the situation at hand definitely as in time-out step.

Relighting The Romance Candle
Almost every love story has the potential to begin as if it were a fairy tale. “Once upon a time, two people fell passionately in love and their love was unlike any others before theirs.” Relationship beginnings are wonderful and they can experience a ‘rebirth’ with a wedding, honeymoon, and the exciting first year of marriage. Once a couple begins to grow and their lives change with jobs, children, social activities, and other commitments, love and romance become more difficult to attend to. Sometimes love and romance seems to be lost altogether. This destiny is not unavoidable if you want to rekindle the passion or simply bring it to a new level by becoming a hopeless romantic.
