Conflict

By: Ruth Purple

Having a conflict in any relationship is as normal as breathing. It is a reality that every couple has to face every single day. Although the term has gained quite a negative connotation, having disagreements now and then is not actually bad. No matter what the cause, conflicts have positive and negative effects. It may create deeper understanding, closeness and respect. On the other hand, it may result to resentment, hostility and divorce. How a couple resolves the issue would usually determine whether a relationship will be healthy or unhealthy. Conflicts range from trivial differences to critical fights, and may be caused by a variety of reasons.

Every couple have their own approach of resolving conflicts. While some couples would confront and blame each other, some would rather avoid or deny the existence of a problem. For many, it is easier to give in; others may seem to compromise but are actually manipulative in trying to win more ground. Resolving a conflict starts with the right attitude. A healthy frame of mind is essential, although it is more often said than done. If one is too hurt or angry it is important to calm down before addressing the issue. It is quite hard to control one’s emotions and remain respectful and rational at the same time.

Both partners must face the fact that the problem must be solved by them. Each person has to make an effort and commit to work hard together in finding solutions that they both deem acceptable and fair. The couple’s best interests should always be considered, along with honesty and mutual respect. If one partner is only concerned about getting his or her own way, it will surely cause damage. Lack of respect, sensitivity, and consideration, as well as using power and fear just to win the argument can cause hurt and resentments that could fester and poison the relationship. However, giving in constantly and avoiding conflict just to keep your spouse happy is just as detrimental.

You are actually causing the other person’s insensitivity and selfishness at your expense. There are two sides to an argument: Yours’ and the other persons’. But, a problem is never without a solution. Identifying the main issue or the cause is the first step to solving a problem. At this stage, each partner must clearly express their wants and understand what the other wants at the same time. Avoid blaming one another; instead, listen actively to what the other person is saying. Couples have shared goals and interests that they could draw upon when looking for alternative solutions. Consider each suggested solution until it is narrowed down to one or two that seems fair for everyone.

When finally choosing the best solution, choose the one that is mutually acceptable to both of you. Keep in mind that a relationship without conflict is not a relationship. A healthy relationship is not measured on the number of fights a couple has. What’s important is how you resolve the problem while staying true to your partner and to yourself.

Why Are You Fat?

Your quest to loss some weight if you are interested, will not see the light until you identify why you are fat in the first instance and then work to avoid all the identified reasons. Though in the beginning, a lot of fat people do not want to accept that they are fat and usually pick a quarrel if anyone makes an observation, there comes a time when they can no longer hide from it.

The thing is, when you finally agree that you are fat, do you just say ‘okay, I know am fat and there is nothing I can do about it’. Then put up with it? Or do you take up the challenge and start doing something about it?

So why are you fat?

Usually I get replies like; I eat at wrong times of the day, at the wrong quantities. I have 3 kids; I run a business that takes away all the time I could have exercised. Between the business and my three kids daily activities at school that I volunteer at, as well as every other extra curricular activity, I really don’t find the time to make sure I eat right.

I must be sure my children eat well though. While they’re eating, I’m cleaning, or getting ready, or cleaning up spilt milk, etc. I miss meals, when it is time for me to eat; I eat it really big because I am really very hungry by then. I know what I am doing is wrong but what do I do?”

Others tell me stories like; “I don’t drink enough fluids, when I do, its usually coffee, but I gag on water, I’ve tried checking this myself, and I am almost succeeding, I’m down to a coke every other day, and that is about 4 bottles a week, instead of everyday, though I still have my coffee. But now I’m up to two bottles of water a day….however, either way, still not enough fluids at all right?”

Yes enough fluid is alright but not when the fluid is coffee and coke. A bottle of coke is said to contain about 8 cubes of sugar and coffee doesn’t just contain caffeine that affects your nerves when you grow older but increases your cholesterol level. I have told people, it doesn’t matter whether it is decaff.

Another excuse people give themselves. I was too busy working and wasn’t eating enough then I became anemic. I wouldn’t be if I was eating properly. If I really wanted to eat well I could probably have worked out a schedule to make sure I eat the right things at the right times. Now the doctor wants me to eat more but I am now fat trying to do what the doctor said. I have tried to cut out the soda, and focus more on water, and I do some light walking as I was not supposed to get involved in very strenuous physical activities as at then. How do I loss weight without becoming anemic again?

Whatever is your excuse or ‘reason’ you need to start knowing that excuses will only worsen your health status. So knock if off! You will not get better with excuses. Take the responsibility for your own health. Stop blaming the doctor, your kids or your job. It is all about you being a little bit more vigilant and determined to save your own life.

With all these excuses, you will begin to eat emotionally, stuffing a lot of chocolate, binging at any opportunity. Seeking solace in food is the worst thing you can do for your mode. Exercises will put you in a better frame of mind.

Flu

flu

Influenza, commonly shortened to “flu,” is an extremely contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses. Flu appears most frequently in winter and early spring. The flu virus attacks the body by spreading through the upper and/or lower respiratory tract.

What are the symptoms of flu or a flu-like illness?

Typical symptoms in adults and older children include: high temperature (fever), sweats, muscle aches, a dry cough, sore throat, sneezing, and headache. You may also feel sick. The flu illness caused by the influenza virus tends to be worse than illnesses caused by other viruses which cause a ‘flu-like’ illness. Even if you are young and fit, flu can make you ill enough to need to go to bed.

How Is the Flu Spread?

The flu virus spreads through the air when a person who has the virus sneezes, coughs, or speaks. The flu can even be passed on if a person touches an object that someone with the virus sneezed or coughed on. People carrying the virus can be contagious 1 day before to 5 days after their symptoms appear. So they can pass it on before they even know they’re sick.

Treatment of flu

If you are usually fit and healthy, you can treat the symptoms of flu at home using remedies commonly available from pharmacies. Antibiotics are not prescribed for flu as they have no effect on viruses. However, occasionally it may be necessary to control complications, especially serious chest infections or pneumonia.

You should stay at home and in bed for as long as the acute symptoms persist which is usually for two or three days after the symptoms peak. You should drink plenty of fluids and to treat the symptoms as necessary. See the encyclopaedia entries on colds, sore throats and coughs for symptom relief.

Most people who get the flu recover completely in 1 to 2 weeks, but some people develop serious and possibly life-threatening complications. While your body is busy fighting off the flu, you may be less able to resist a second infection. Older people and people with chronic illnesses run the greatest risk of getting secondary infections, especially pneumonia. In an average year, the flu leads to about 20,000 deaths nationwide and many more hospitalizations.

Stay home. If you’re sick, stay home so you don’t spread the flu to others. You can spread the flu to others the day before you even appear sick—and you can continue to infect others for about a week after you first get sick.

Love Forever

When you find someone to love, are you willing to stay with them forever? If your answer to this question is yes, you have a lot to do to ensure that you live up to what you vowed. It is not easy loving somebody for a lifetime but, when it comes from the heart, it is very much possible. It will be helpful for you to explore some of the things that can cause you not to live up to the vows. The leading cause of divorce and separation is the lack of willingness to work on the problem. This is the single thing that makes a couple estranged and makes them go their different ways. This unwillingness can be witnessed by on the side of one partner or both partners. It is pretty difficult to convince somebody otherwise when they have already made up their minds.

Therefore, you and your spouse should always agree to solve problems and be willing to do so every time. There are many factors that contribute to this unwillingness. The most popular problem that marriages have is the lack of trust and it is sometimes referred to as broken trust. This can happen over a period of time and it can also happen overnight. For example, when a spouse discovers that one person is cheating, they might make a decision to leave and get a divorce. Infidelity is pretty common in marriage relationships and, it causes trust and even love to be broken. With such a problem, love might not last forever. However, when you are willing to work through it, you can repair your relationship and live to be happy with renewed trust. I know many people who have gone through this probably think that it is impossible. Nothing is impossible and you can have what you first had in your relationship. However, this will take a lot of sacrifice and forgiveness. When your spouse cheats on you, you are devastated and do not understand why they can do such a thing.

However, you need to understand that their infidelity does not entirely mean that they do not love you. Of course, this will depend on individual cases. Most men when given a chance will cheat, this does not make their love lesser for their spouse. When you understand this, you will know that the ways of the human kind are mainly sinful and, when those people who have offended you demonstrate regret and remorse, it is worth giving them a chance. This is not as easy as it sounds but, it can facilitate your union to last forever.
