Three Types of Bad Relationships

Bad relationships might be difficult to end. These types of relationships can also be hard to identify from the beginning of the relationship. No matter how the relationship ends, there is always a remnant of that relationship. Also,  loneliness should not prevent you from ending a bad relationship. Healing from bad relationships does take time and effort to move to a better relationship. 

One bad type of relationship is the Friends with Benefits. First, there is no commitment involved. Second, anyone can leave the relationship without any reason. Third, it might feel like a waste of time because there is no emotional connection. Additionally, when that relationship ends, you feel empty and lonely. 

The second bad relationship is when the love is only from one side of the relationship. You give your time and effort to be a part of that person's existence. No matter how hard you try, you end up losing. Most of the time it is not your fault for wanting to be loved by that person. In the end, your feelings get hurt more than the other person's.

The third type of bad relationship is someone who is possessive, jealous, and controlling. At first, it might not be identified at the beginning of the relationship. Usually, you will see the signs of a controlling person when it gets out of hand and when it is disrespectful. This type of relationship is abusive, violent, and harmful for your safety. Avoiding bad relationships is not easy to do. 

There are approximately fifteen types of bad relationships.  Each type of relationship needs to be handled in a tactful, careful, and safe manner. Therefore, seeking professional counseling should be a priority for overcoming bad relationships. Also, if you suspect you are in a bad relationship, you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Here are resources about the three bad relationships that were mentioned in this post.

How to Deal with Certain People?

It is back to school time and with fears of your child being bullied. Cyberbullying and bullying have been getting worse at school, after-school programs, and school events. Most of the time, the bullying never ends especially when it does not get reported at the school. Yet, there are resources for preventing bullying or cyberbullying. These resources make your child aware of what is a bully and how to handle them. 

Your child will come across a variety of different personalities at their school. Some positive people will motivate them to be their best. On the other hand, your child might come in contact with negative snobs, drama queens, and haters. All of these types of personalities have one thing in common which is insecurity. Some of them might be selfish, self-centered, and mean. 

Therefore, it is important to tell your child that they should confide in you about what is happening at school especially if they are being bullied. Also, if they are being criticized by family members or friends. Next, tell your child they should ignore, stay away, and not fall into the trap of snobs, haters, bullies, and drama queens. Additionally, make the school aware of the situation about your child being bullied. Sometimes, transferring your child to another school or homeschooling is a temporary solution to bullying. 

Keep an eye on your child's behavior and look for changes in their behavior. Notice any changes in their appetite, hygiene, and their body language. Stay updated and informed about your child's grades and who are their friends. Let them know that school is fun and a learning experience. Tell them that they should not be bullied and the issue should be addressed. Here are links about dealing with snobs, haters, criticism, drama queens, and bullies.

Embroidering the Seasons

Embroidering the four seasons in undergarments is easy to do. Use basic designs such as a leaf, snowflake, sun, tulip, and a butterfly to symbolize the seasons. You can use different color embroidery threads or one color for your embroidery. In this example, yellow embroidery thread was used to embroider the sun onto one brief underwear. The sun was embroidered on both sides of the underwear. 

Stencils with small shapes can make it easier to make the embroidered design onto undergarments. The stencils can be found at any arts and craft store. However, there are free stencils online that can be reduced for embroidering. I find it easier to use stencils for doing embroidery. Here is the tutorial for embroidering the sun onto one pair of briefs. 

Materials:

Embroidery Thread

Embroidery Needle

Several pairs of panties

Scissors

Embroidery hoop (optional)

Fabric marker/pen 

Stencil (optional)

Use one clean brief underwear and a stencil to make the sun. Draw the sun with a fabric pen and a stencil onto the brief. Repeat the same step for the other corner of the brief. Insert embroidery thread onto an embroidery needle. Then, insert the needle onto the outline of the circle. 

Follow the lines as you stitch the circle. After the circle is embroidered, follow the lines to make the rays of the sun. The rays of the sun do not have to be embroidered the same. Continue embroidering to make the rays of the sun. Repeat the same steps for the other corner of the brief. 

Like all embroidered garments, wash them inside out. Follow the instructions of the garments for the water temperature.  Make sure all of the leftover thread is cut short and not sticking out from the inside of the brief.  Nonetheless, you will enjoy wearing your cute embroidered undergarments. Have fun embroidering.

How to do Color Therapy?

Color therapy can help you with depression, anxiety, and other issues. It lifts your mood, helps you sleep, and helps you feel better. Additionally, color therapy can help you heal emotionally. This method is used by color therapists and psychologists. It uses light and color to help your mind to relax and change your mood.

However, you can do color therapy when you do yoga. In your yoga classes, you might learn about chakras. There are seven chakras or energy fields. Each chakra has a color to specify the organs of the body. You can use certain colors in your yoga wardrobe to help you relax, feel energetic, and focused. 

If you do not practice yoga, you can still use color therapy in your wardrobe. If you are depressed, it is not recommended to wear too many black clothes. Certain colors can make you feel more depressed such as gray, black, and purple. Also, if you are too anxious it is not recommended to wear too much orange and red. Color therapy can also be applied to interior design, gemstone jewelry, and art therapy. 

Nevertheless, more research needs to be done regarding color therapy. Color therapy might not be for everyone. Consult with a psychologist if color therapy might help your anxiety, depression, or other issues. Color therapy does have a promising outlook as an alternative approach for emotional healing.  Here are links about the benefits of color therapy.

How to do Restorative Yoga?

Restorative Yoga helps you sleep and have less pain. Each pose lasts longer before moving to the next pose. Before you begin restorative yoga, you will need bolsters, yoga blocks, cushions, and pillows. You can use rolled-up towels for your head, feet, and back. Also, you can roll up blankets to do restorative yoga. 

Some poses for this type of yoga might require an eye pillow such as the corpse pose. The eye pillow can be filled with aromatherapy to increase relaxation.  While doing the corpse pose, you can focus on your breathing. Another yoga pose is called the supine twist. The supine twist makes your hips, back, and shoulders more flexible.

You can also do the happy baby pose. Bend your legs and touch your feet. This pose opens your hips and stretches your thighs. You can do each pose slowly and keep them ten minutes apart. Here are more resources about restorative yoga.

Good Habits for Wellness Month

It is National Wellness Month! Breaking unhealthy habits will improve your overall wellness. If you do not have a wellness plan, you can slowly incorporate good habits into your daily routine. Since the start of the pandemic, our health has been a top priority as well as the health of family members. Most people have changed their eating habits and are trying to eat healthier these days.

If you are like me, you started looking up recipes as inspiration and are trying to make your meals healthier for your family. Also, you started exercising more with your family. However, you might have noticed bad eating habits that you did not notice before. Therefore, breaking bad eating habits should be part of your wellness plan. Keep a food journal and write down what you eat throughout the day.

Another bad habit is not getting enough sleep. Recently, I started eating almonds to help me sleep better. Learning what types of foods to eat and not to eat before going to sleep will restore and improve your health. Additionally, you can use your food journal before you go to sleep which will help you notice any changes in how you feel after eating. You can make a list of the unhealthy habits that you want to break and make a wellness plan.

For example, you can write down a specific time to go to sleep at night and make it a routine schedule every day and on the weekends. You can make a list or have a specific notebook for your wellness plan. A wellness plan should include your nutrition, physical, and emotional health. It sounds difficult but having the right tools will make your wellness plan a success. Here is a list of unhealthy habits and solutions for your wellness plan.

1.  Eating late snacks when not hungry- Replace this habit by reading or by doing meditation.

2. Cracking your knuckles/nail-biting- Listen to music, drink water, or do counting meditation.

3. Lack of exercise- Clean your kitchen, take a walk, or do stretches.

4. Going to sleep at midnight- Start a sleep routine so you can go to sleep early.

5. Hurt feelings due to ungrateful people- Practice forgiveness and gratitude.

6. Too much junk food- Prepare your meals ahead of time before going out.

7. Drinking too many sodas- Drink water, tea, coffee, milk, or half a cup of juice to give up sodas.

8. Watching television past midnight- Set a television schedule, read, and meditate to sleep earlier. 

9. Sitting for many hours- Take a break from electronics and exercise.

10. Too many salty snacks- Replace your snacks with fruit, vegetables, or unsalted nuts.

Gradually, make a wellness plan to fit your lifestyle, work, and family. You can join a wellness program is offered through your health plan. Do not compare your wellness plan with your friends or family members. Nonetheless, make your wellness plan personalized to your own needs. Here are more resources about adding good habits to your wellness plan.
