Things You Neglect To Do But Are Extremely Important

With the busy schedule and fast pacing of our daily lives, we sometimes forget the essentials of our daily living. These things when frequently neglected may cause detrimental effects in our own selves. I thought of reinforcing this again because I think a lot of these daily necessities are being forgotten:

1. Always eat your breakfast. Many people are very much delved into their competitive jobs that eating breakfast can cost them minutes or hours of non-profit. Studies always show that people who eat their foods  in the morning are more energized, focused and weighs lesser.

2. Give some nutrients for your bones. That I meant, drink your milk or your calcium supplements daily. 

3. Hydrate. I too, am guilty of this. It's a common knowledge to drink 8 glasses of water a day. However, with our busy schedules or we have other routines that we have to attend to, we forget to hydrate ourselves and would later on recognize that we need to give ourselves some refreshments when we are already thirsty. You lose fluid not only during urination or sweating, even when you're speaking you also lose some fluids and electrolytes.

4. Protect your skin. The scorching heat of the sun is way more painful than it was years before. I am not used to using sunscreens before, but now I have to put some because I am afraid of being burned and develop cancer later on. 

5. Eat Vegetables. Never forget to have your own share of vegetables. Green, leafy for longer life and bright ones for antioxidants.

6. Floss. After I eat, I always floss. Plaques and leftovers that are hidden in between your teeth can be a ground for breeding of bacterias which will eventually cause you diseases. Gum diseases are thought to increase your risk of developing other illnesses like diabetes and heart diseases. 

MY GUILTY PLEASURES

Guilty Pleasures are the things we are pleasurable of with the feeling of “guilt” in that we are sort of afraid that it’ll put us to shame or something that we think is not really necessary but still want it anyway. I, too have a bunch of lists of guilty pleasures which only few knew and some are just within me and I’m quite hesitant to tell it. Anyways, here are my toppers:

1.      Clothes

Well, girls are girls, and it’s next to impossible that women are not pleasured with clothes. Having fond of watching fashion TV shows, I always want to get the best clothes and wear to show it off. I am pleasured as people would make second looks as I pass by. Lol.

2.      Shoes!

Oh, how I love shoes! This guilty pleasure is really making me happy. I love wearing flats and anything that’s seemingly beautiful in my eyes, I’ll buy it. Lately, I want to try heels, only wedges however.

3.      Bags

Bags are not something I’ve constantly wanted, but am somehow making me pleasurable with the thought of having a great style of bags. I want sling bags actually because it’s quite handy and cute!

4.      Foods

Foods really make me spend much of my money. Well, foods are sort of my comfort stuffs. I and my boyfriend usually do that. When we argue and get into a fight, he always bribes me with foods to pacify me. Lol. My favourite foods are pizza and pasta. Just give me these and I’ll sure cool down.

5.      Salons

When I’m sort of not feeling good emotionally, I go to the salons. A haircut or a new haircolor makes me feel brand new.

6.      Travel

Only few knew that I always wanted to travel. Lol. I’m willing to spend a lot of dime just to go to places I’ve never been to.

These are few, but these stuffs are costing much of my money, because once in a while I’ll always search for these guilty pleasures. 

HOW TO KEEP YOUR RELATIONSHIP GOING DESPITE DISTANCE

To be away from someone you love is by far one of the most torturous events in a person’s life. It’s not certainly easy to long for someone while thinking your great moments together. A lot of people I know may have succeeded keeping their relationship even from a distant at the beginning and would still eventually split up.

I, too is pretty anxious with this. I and boyfriend will be miles and miles away months from now and I’ve been dealing with a lot of thoughts crossing my mind. We’ve been away for a month but it felt like we’ve been away for years. And I want him more than I‘ve ever wanted him before when we were together.  People facing or about to face with this dilemma would definitely seek for answers, like I do, on how to keep our relationship going despite the distance. Well, I’ve learned few good advices and it’s sort of working for me.

1.  Faith in God. I always include in my prayers that our relationship would still workout even when we’re far, and He knows how pure my prayers are. God listens, so talk to Him.

2.  One friend I sought consultation with, told me to keep the communication constant. You don’t have to require your partner to communicate with you every hour or every minute. Just simply allot at least 30 minutes to an hour of chit-chat with him/her. I think that wouldn’t cost much of each other’s time.

3. Trust him/her. Well, I have had issues in terms of trusting my partner. But trusting him became easy for me because he constantly puts up efforts to show me that he’s worth trusting. Each partner should take responsibility of holding the trust given. How? Do not lie. Tell him/her everything. That’s the simplest thing to do.

4.  Feel each day as if it was the first day you’re apart. That’s what my boyfriend told me. Every day when he wakes up, his love for me never goes down because he always thinks that every single day he longs for me and he longs for us.

5.  Stay Faithfully Loyal. That I meant, embody the true essence of fidelity. Yes, we may be attracted at some point, but those are mere attractions. Always keep in your mind that there is someone better waiting for you, and that someone has given and will give you lots of reasons to be happy than what that simple attraction can give you.

6.  Let your partner do what he/she wants to do as an individual. We have the tendency to not allow our partners to do certain things like: going out, shopping or chilling out, because we’re afraid that they might stumble upon someone that’ll just might distract your partner’s feelings towards you. I felt the same but I learned that keeping him tight would make him struggle to loosen up and as he loosens up you’ll lose him in the process. Just let him/her be, never forget that you two are separate individuals as well.

7.  As stated, do not forget your own self. Just because your other partner is far, that doesn't necessarily follow that you’ll soak yourself down in your bed waiting for him/her. Always keep yourself lifted, that means never neglect yourself. Always rejuvenate yourself - be pretty or handsome at all times!
