Helpful Relationship Tips During and After Pandemic

Relationships are hard, but they don't have to be. If you're looking for some relationship tips and tricks to help add more humor, love, and laughter into your life with your significant other then this advice should help you breathe new life into your partnership.

However, if you still feel as though something is missing in your life, consider investing in the help of a therapist. Couples therapists have the skills necessary to help you work through any issues you might be having. Even one visit can help give you a new perspective!

One more tip to consider? Don’t be so obsessed with getting it right each and every time. Relationships are hard work - and you won’t win any medals by being a perfectionist. You’re likely not going to have 100% of your needs met 100% of the time and unrealistic expectations can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction. Leave some room for imperfection - and your relationship will be a lot healthier as a result.

Of course, if you really want to do some work on your relationship, you can start by following these relationship tips for couples - it’s a great place to start as you work to solidify your relationship with your one and only.

Signs To Watch Out For If You Feel Dehydrated

April 3, 2021 Lisa Czachowski

Not sure if you’re dehydrated - or if it’s something else? There are a few tests you can do to figure it out. Even if you’re not thirsty - which is the telltale sign that you need to guzzle some fluids, and stat - you might still be mildly dehydrated.

First, the skin test. Use two of your fingers to pinch a bit of skin on the back of your hand. Then, let it go. If you’re hydrated, the skin should snap back into position in just a second or two. If it’s any more than a few seconds, you are probably dehydrated.

So how much water do you actually need? The answer can vary depending on your activity level, age, gender, where you live, and other factors. Plus, things like illnesses you might be fighting off or any medications you might be on can also affect the amount of water you need. To check if you are getting enough water, take a look at your urine color. If it’s dark yellow or amber, you need to drink up.

How Safe Are Outdoor Fitness Classes During Pandemic

April 2, 2021 Karen A. Mulvey

So should you take an outdoor fitness class right now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic? Only you can be the judge of that. COVID-19 is known as the novel coronavirus for a reason - it’s still very new and we aren't yet fully aware of all of its risks.

However, there are tangible benefits to getting in exercise that you need to be aware of. Not only can exercising improve your mood and help you maintain a healthy weight, but it can also help improve your immunity so that you have a reduced likelihood of contracting the disease - or of suffering from severe complications as a result.

Therefore, consider your own individual risk factors and your comfort level when it comes to signing up for an outdoor fitness class during the pandemic. Do you have a chronic condition? Do you have to take a group fitness class - or can you sneak in exercise in other ways? This will help you decide if an outdoor fitness class is right for you.

Creative Ways To Spice Up Your Next Run

March 31, 2021 Jessica Lauren

While there aren’t too many people who actually LOVE the act of running, many people set aside their discomfort for a variety of reasons. Maybe you feel like you should run because you want to gain the health benefits that come with it. Or maybe it’s part of a healthier lifestyle. Whatever the case, running workouts can help you reach your goals.

Plus, if you follow the tips above, you won’t get burn out of running. Instead of viewing it as a slog, you’ll find yourself excited to go running not just because of the relaxed state you’re in after the run, but because you’re not falling into the pitfalls of following the same, boring route or pushing yourself too hard during a run. Even if you do miss a day, don’t beat yourself up for it or feel guilty. Feelings of guilt can lead people to dropping the activity or pushing themselves too hard the next day to the point they get injured. Just take each day as it comes and start slowly so that you can work up to longer runs. If there’s no race you’re training for, there’s no need to compare yourself to others so go out there and have fun!
