Health and Happiness-

Happiness is good. According to a recent study, everyone attempts to find happiness in two
ways: Doing good for others; doing things you’re good at. Moreover, those who are the most
optimistic, are the happiest overall.

And the research doesn’t stop there: happiness is hidden in following contents- happy with your
job, your closest relationships and taking care of yourself physically and emotionally.

Effects on Your Health

For most people, happiness is a sense of purpose and well-being. This positive attitude
translates to a variety of effects on a person’s health both physically and mentally, including:

Protecting your health: Happiness lowers your risk for cardiovascular disease, lowers your blood
pressure, enables better sleep, improves your diet, allows you to maintain a normal body weight
through regular exercise and reduces stress.

Ways to Improve Your Well-Being

According to some research, well-being can be learned by practicing the following:

Resilience, a function of the brain, resides in the ability to bounce back from adversity.

Positive outlook lies in a person’s ability to see the positive side.

Attention, or a lack of, can affect a person’s well-being. Being more attentive and using better
listening skills can make a person more focused and positive.

Generosity equals a sense of well-being. Acts of kindness make others and yourself happy.

Your own well-being shouldn’t be mysterious. Know what works for you and what doesn’t. Be
content with your life choices. Your health and well-being are dependent on it.

Stay mentally healthy by following these simple steps:

Connect with others. Develop and keep strong relationships with people who support you.

Play! Plan something fun! – Make time every day to enjoy something you really like to do. Be silly
and laugh – laughter can recharge you.

Take care of yourself. It’s easier to feel happy if your body feels good. Exercise. Enjoy a good
breakfast. Drink water, have a healthy snack and eat a balanced diet. Physical and mental health
are tied together. Be good to your body.

Rest. Sleep restores both your mind and body. Aim for 7 hours of sleep at least. Go to bed and
get up at a regular time each day. One hour before bedtime turn off your phone and computer.
Take some time to relax and wind down from your day. If you have trouble sleeping, only lay in
bed for ½ hour then get up and go into another room, or sit in a chair and read a book or watch
TV (no computer or phone as the blue light can keep you awake) for a ½ hour, then try to go back
to sleep again for a ½ hour.

Deal with stress. Pay attention to what makes you stressed, where you feel it in your body, and
how you react to it. This will help you to better manage your stress. Learn to express anger when
it’s “small” instead of allowing it to build. Relaxation breathing, yoga or meditation can help.

Think about today. Too often we are thinking about the past or planning for the future instead
of living in the present. Focus on living “in the moment.” Outside, notice the sun or wind on
your face, or feel your feet on the pavement. Inside, feel your body in the chair, or your feet on
the floor. Make a real effort to be aware of the world around you today. It is important for your
mental health.

Give back. Volunteer for a cause or an issue you care about. Help out a co-worker, neighbor, or
friend. Find ways to contribute, it can help you feel good about yourself and who you are in the
world.

Challenge yourself. Learn a new skill or set a difficult goal. Try something different, commit to
fitness or a healthy eating goal, learn to cook something new, or learn a new computer skill.
Learning improves your mental fitness.

Drink less alcohol and avoid all other drugs. Sometimes people misuse alcohol and other drugs
to feel better, but, alcohol and other drugs can make problems worse.

Understanding Human Relationship in Terms of Mutual Trust & Respect

“Mutual trust and respect are common to and bind all other elements together.” Jones & Way

Trust

Feeling comfortable depending on each other, believing that everyone is competent and reliable
and will act within their own scope of practice.

Respect

Knowing and valuing the unique and complementary contributions that each profession and
individual team member has to offer.
What Is Trust?

The relationship between trust and love is a close one. Trust means trusting yourself, your
own judgments and trusting others. Trust is the foundation for any relationship. Without it, the
relationship will be shaky and will eventually fail. Lack of trust is the main reason relationships
fall apart.

Why?

Because, if you don’t have trust it means you won’t feel secure that your partner will love you and
be loyal to you. After all, trust means you can rely on your partner, can confide in them and feel
safe with them.

Why Is Trust Important In A Relationship?

Here are some reasons why trust is important in relationships:

Trust Gives Reassurance

When you trust on your partner , the relationship will survive even if you have arguments or fights.
You know your relationship is more strong than a disagreement.

Trust Helps To Heal Wounds

When you get hurt in your relationship, from a misunderstanding, different expectations or unmet
needs, trust enables you to heal and forgive.

You Cannot Love Without Trust

Trust is the foundation for your relationship and the key to love. When you trust your partner, then
you feel secure that they won’t leave in difficult times. This is the key for love to build and grow.

Trust Helps Overcome Obstacles

When you trust your partner, you know you’re their priority. They have your best interests at heart.
When differences or challenges may occur in your relationship, you know that you can overcome
the problems together.

What Does Trust Look Like In A Relationship?

Here’s are some signs that you have trust in your relationship:

Open conversations: You are both willing to let your guard down and share your secrets and
fears.

You are each other’s priority: You both put each other’s needs and interests first. You both show
care and consideration with each other.

Maintain eye contact: If you can look into each other’s eyes while talking, it shows you both have
nothing to hide.
Listen actively: If you both listen intently, then it shows love, care, and respect.

Admitting mistakes: You are both honest about mistakes and don’t cover them up with excuses
or explanations.

Mingle with family and friends: If you both enjoy mingling with each other’s family and friends,
then it shows you both have good intentions.

Comfortable and confident: If you are both your authentic selves around each other, then it
shows you trust each other.

Efficiently resolve conflicts: If you can both work through disagreements in healthy ways, then it
shows your relationship is solid

Respect-

Respect is a way of treating or thinking about something or someone

Here are ten signs of disrespect to watch out for.

1. They don’t listen to you
Communication is important in any relationship. If they are not engaging in active listening with
you, and you feel they are only half-interested .
if they are judging what you say as being unimportant; or if they ignore you in the hope that you’ll
just stop talking.

2. They don’t prioritize you

If you’re not a priority, you’ll know what that feels like. They’ll be distracted when they are with
you; change or cancel plans last moment without a good reason, they’ll prioritize their friends or
their work over you.
If someone doesn’t respect your time, they don’t respect you.

3. They give you the silent treatment

The silent treatment seems to be a very simple way to cause harm.
The silent treatment can leave one feeling hurt, powerless, invisible, guilty, or frustrated.

4. You caught them lying to you

It shows a lack of respect in the relationship.

5. They hurt your feelings on purpose

You will have times when this happens accidentally, but when it happens on purpose, it is not
okay. Even if things are said in the heat of an argument, it is never okay to hurt someone you are
supposed to care about.
6. They refuse to spend time with your family or friends
The other people who are important in your life — namely, your friends and family — should not
be overlooked. If they are refusing to spend time with these people or doing things like showing
up late and passive-aggressively showing their disrespect for the people who are important to
you, they’re disrespecting you by extension.
.

7. They don’t offer support when you need it

You should be a priority. You should be the one they care about and they need to show up when
you need them.

Ways for developing mutual respect-

1. If you want to respect your partner, then you have to be able to see yourselves as a true team
together. You should think like a team in your mutual decisions and always think of your partner
when you make individual decisions.

2. If you don’t agree with your partner, discuss the situation respectfully.

3. Learn to tolerate and appreciate differences.

4.In order to respect your partner, you have to let them know when they are doing things right.If
you never acknowledge all of the nice things your partner does for you, then they’ll see it as a
sign of disrespect because it’ll look like you’re taking them for granted.

5. If you and your partner want to respect each other, then you have to practice mutual
accountability. This means more than just apologizing when you’re wrong, but being aware of all
the times when you disrespect your partner, while knowing that your partner is aware of the large
and small ways that she disrespects you, too. As long as you’re both self-aware and understand
what it means to disrespect each other and are willing to be accountable for your actions, then
you have a long and healthy relationship ahead.

Understanding society and nation as extension of family and society respectively

The family is the basic social institution in the society. It functions as the basic unit which
produces future generations and provides love and affection to the children.

The family performs several essential functions for society. It socializes children, it provides
emotional and practical support for its members, it helps regulate sexual activity and sexual
reproduction, and it provides its members with a social identity. Family problems stem from
sudden or far-reaching changes in the family’s structure or processes; these problems threaten
the family’s stability and weaken society.

First, the family is the primary unit for socializing children. No society is possible without
adequate socialization of its young. In most societies, the family is the major unit in which
socialization happens. Parents, siblings, and, if the family is extended rather than nuclear, other
relatives all help socialize children from the time they are born.

Second, the family is ideally a major source of practical and emotional support for its members.
It provides them food, clothing, shelter, and other essentials, and it also provides them love,
comfort, and help in times of emotional distress, and other types of support.

Next, the family provides its members with a social identity. Children are born into their parents’
social class, race and ethnicity, religion, and so forth. Some children have advantages throughout
life because of the social identity they acquire from their parents, while others face many
obstacles because the social class or race/ethnicity into which they are born is at the bottom of
the social hierarchy.

Beyond discussing the family’s functions, the functional perspective on the family maintains that
sudden or far-reaching changes in conventional family structure and processes threaten the
family’s stability and thus that of society.

The family is the basic social institution in the society. It functions as the basic unit which
produces future generations and provides love and affection to the children. 

Importance of Society

Society is one of the most integral parts of our life. Among various infrastructures of life society
too is one of most under it. Without specific residing area and helping hands around, life seems
actually very tough. Hence, in order to live the life in a very comfortable way, society is the most.
Food, shelter, and clothes are essential for a person to live. On single effort, man would not be
able to fulfill all his needs. For an example, only one individual can't grow crops for him and for all
his family solely, making clothes for own would be difficult for him and making a shelter without
any help on own is a merely toughest task in life. But when for these needs one gets helpful
hands of another one, work can be completed quicker and would be more efficient.
