We’re Just Friends… Really!

Are you crossing the line?

SOME people are of the opinion that members of the opposite sex cannot be friends. According to this theory, guys and girls can be friends for a while but inevitably, something will happen and the friendship turns into something more… or just dies altogether. So is it possible to have just a platonic relationship? 

First of all, people are friends because they like each other and they have some thing in common. Are they attracted to each other? Well, yes. They are attracted to each other person’s personality. Are they oblivious to the person’s physical attributes? Of course not. People are drawn to others based on their personality and/or their looks; so a person’s good looks wouldn’t hurt.

So is it justified when a person get jealous if his or her partner starts hanging out with a new friend of the opposite sex? This is a tricky one.

 

Being in a relationship means being able to trust your partner. You cannot and should not dictate who your partner can and cannot be friend with. But where do you draw the line?

There will be times when you meet someone who you get along with and may want to keep in touch with. You exchange numbers and meet up once in a while. Does your boyfriend have the right to be jealous? Are you doing anything wrong? It all depends on how you handle it.

If you speak to each other every once in a while and become fast friends, you’re not doing anything wrong. If however, you start treating him differently from how you’d treat your girlfriends then you could be on the way to trouble.

You like this guy and you get along great. Yu start having phone conversations almost everyday and you speak for hours. You text or speak to each other first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Does it sound like just a friendship? I don’t think so. If you insist that you’re just friends, you’re just fooling yourself. You may not be cheating on your boyfriend physically but emotionally, you’re in too deep. You are getting too close to the guy and your boyfriend’s fears (if any) would not be unjustified. And if this guy has turned into your relationship problems, you’re getting into dangerous territory.

But we’re just friends, you say. Yes you are but unfortunately it wouldn’t take much for you to cross the line. The way you’re treating him as though he were your boyfriend… but he’s not. And why isn’t he? Because you already have one. Think about it; if you weren’t already attached, would you make a move? If the answer is yes, then you’re in trouble. And discussing your relationship woes with him is not only wrong, it’s bordering on disloyalty.

This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t continue being friends with the guy but you should take a step back and examine the situation. And how would you feel if your boyfriend were this close to some other girl? It’s a fine line between friendship and something more so make sure you don’t cross it.

Essential Oils Healing and Their Relation With Aromatherapy Candles

By Marilyn Reid

The stress that modern life brings us is never a piece of cake. There are too many reasons to distress us and most of all, several factors to cause us to suffer from illnesses. Modern drugs often complicate things but if what you seek is alternative medicine that promotes natural healing, fitness, and wellness, then, aromatherapy is a good choice.

Essential oils healing attributes have been well known all over the world and been used since the earliest times. They are also the same reasons why they have been popularly integrated into the aromatherapy candles.

The aromatherapy candles also make as very environmentally friendly as well as safe decors. They can be added to your existing ornaments at home. At night or whenever you feel like de-stressing, just light them up. The healing properties of these candles are produced either by the pure essential oils ingredients. Whichever is the case, the scents they exude produce distinct effects to the brain.

The oils used in aromatherapy candles are blended in proper amounts and appropriately combined with other oils. Only those who have the in-depth knowledge on how it is done should prepare the candles. When burned, the aroma aids in oxygenating the blood supply. This is done through prompting the natural minerals in the cells of the human body. The healing properties of the aromatherapy candles nevertheless help relieve physical and psychological illnesses.

The burning aromatherapy candles allow the lungs to breathe in the molecules so they are able to penetrate into the body system particularly that of the limbic system. As everyone knows, the lungs are comprised of thousands of minute passages which contain tiny hair follicles. They then send the chemical aromatherapy signals towards the brain.

Psychological healing is targeted by the aromatherapy candles. Using the sense of smell, the scent they exude can calm the nerves, stop the inflammation in the nasal passages and the lungs, induces sleepiness, kills bacteria, promotes proper intestinal functions and proper digestion, and soothe the pain being felt by the body. At some point, some aromas of other essential oils influence people to stop taking in psychotropic medications because they begin to feel better.

The essential oils healing attributes can be experienced through different means. One is by applying the essential oil into the skin by means of a massage. However, not all essential oils are safe to be directly applied onto the skin. Many of them require dilution in carrier oils. Another is by oil diffusion wherein the oil is burned for people to inhale them. Also, using a few drops of oil into a warm bath allows the body to relax and be freed of stress. The burning of aromatherapy candles is also a great way of experiencing the essential oils healing factors.

Aromatherapy candles are sold everywhere. You can choose from a variety of scents and allow yourself to personally experience their healing attributes!

What Feeling Would Being More Relaxed Give You?

Written By Tomas Coimin

By the way: do you know what a purple rhinoceros sounds like?

This may or not be relevant to you but don't focus only on the benefits of relaxation, because it's important to take a balanced view. Think about all the miserable occasions in your life where you wish you had been more adaptive to calm reasoning but for some obscure plethora of reasons you chose to be unresponsive. You are not alone as many do the exact same thing and actually just look at children in school they do it too.

You see most of us have never been trained to relax let alone think on our feet. Would you like to know a good step that will not take much time but really works if you want to speed up your responsiveness especially with quick fire verbiage?

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

-Thomas A. Edison

Well you are going to need two things a) a stop watch and b) a page of say a book you recently read that you favoured. Now every cell phone comes with a stop watch in their extras dept so take a wee minute and find it.

Now sit up straight in your chair with head held high and commence reading in your normal poise and time it; write it down. Now over the next few readings gradually accelerate your pace but do enunciate clearly without raising your voice. After about five minutes check your pace against another reading and whoopee you will have been much faster than your first attempt. Make sure you write it down too and over the coming weeks follow this wee procedure and reap awards.

If you practice this daily ('Oh no, practicing is hard',) you will feel more confident about how you speak and actually in your delivery plus this will have a corresponding facility of receptiveness with your listeners. Here is one more addition for you to consider: practice in front of a mirror. Hmm "I haven't done that before"! I'm not going to tell you to have a lot of fun with this exercise!

It has always been a curious oddity why so many people talk with loud voices as if their listener was in the next county of some where down the road. If you want to draw someone closer so they will actually pay attention to you practice lowering your voice but look at them squarely in the eyes while fluctuating your tone to validate a note or expression even a command.

In the meantime take out a pen and paper and draw a line right down the centre of it. On one side write pros and on the other cons then proceed to draw a big X on the cons side and focus entirely on the pros of learning relaxation techniques. Would it compliment your life to learn more about relaxation techniques?

Useful tip: write down your neediness factor and secondly are you more inclined to object versus agreeing automatically without knowing all the benefits of being in agreement? Consider using the X factor when making decisions and write your thoughts down versus repetitive workings in your head change shall bid hello; positively to boot too!

Tooralee tooraloo! Oh I almost forgot: imagine what your life would be like as you perfect relaxation techniques! Oh, the purple rhino sounds just the same as the ordinary types do!!
