Secrets to a long-lasting Relationship Says Ms Clara Fernandes

With these tips and little effort on your part, you can rekindle the spark between you and your partner and have it burning forever!

Don’t we all want our relationships to last forever? Worry not. Ms Fernandes will just tell u how it’s possible.
 

Always be honest
This is a basic need for any kind of relationship to survive. You have to trust your partner and let him/ her believe that they can trust you too. Try and be as truthful as possible and always be reliable.

Accept your partner’s minuses too
No one is perfect — some are lazy, some sloppy, some think differently from how you do, some are always late for dates, some are simply too obsessive and compulsive about little things — and we have to keep that in mind. Accept the person for who they are, and do not try and force them to change for you. That really harms a relationship. At the most, help them understand it’s negative impacts, but don’t always make that as a topic of discussion between the two of you. And never taunt!

Space has a lot to do with it
In every relationship this is one thing that should never be overlooked. Too much of anything might end up suffocating your partner. Being together is great, but not ‘all’ the time. So make sure you always give your partner the space he or she needs. Don’t smother him/her with an overdose of ‘togetherness’. You will just end up pushing him/her away.

When you are wrong, admit it
Arguing that you are always right is not right at all. Be brave enough to admit that you are not. We all make mistakes and we all should remember that it was just that: a mistake. Accept and admit it, and then move on.

Going soft sometimes really helps
Do not scream at your partner. A good relationship that also lasts is usually between two people who are very good friends and who love and respect each other. Don’t insult him/her.

Plan pleasant surprises
Throw a surprise into the equation from time to time. It keeps things between two people lively and interesting. Also remember to be generous with compliments. Just follow one rule — be sincere about your compliments.

Maintain old activities
Keep doing the things the two of you did together in the initial days of the relationship, that brought the two of you closer. Also, maintain the individual activities too, like dressing up for him or her, pursuing your hobbies... and all those other things that played some part in making him/her fall in love with you. Avoid complacency. If you liked going out, don’t stop when you get comfortable with somebody.

Travel together
Getting away from routine daily life can be great for a relationship. Try to travel together at least once a year. But also make sure to take trips away individually. Give the other person the gift of missing you, it’s a fantastic gift. It’s good to miss each other from time to time — it brings back a sense of appreciation.

The ultimate rule
Too often in a relationship we forget ourselves and start to take on the identity of the other person, this is a mistake really.

Beautiful life needs beautiful mind Says Ms Clara Fernandes

To make life beautiful we need a beautiful mind Says Ms Clara Fernandes.  If the mind is pure, sound and healthy, life automatically becomes pleasant and blissful.  Mind controls the body thus guides our actions and it is our behaviour that brings us praise or slander.  It works like a steering in the vehicle. It is the mind which may make you wonder in wilderness or reach the destination safely.  Once mind understands the right path, one is certainly going to achieve the goal, reach the destination. 

An enlightened mind, does establish love  instead  of  hatred,  tolerance  instead of   intolerance, selfless service  and cooperation instead of greed and selfishness.  And all this makes life virtuous and blissful. Because of mind that man wants everything good for himself but he is not prepared to allow the same right unto others.   If we want that others should not hurt or harm us, we will have to stop hurting and harming others.  We will have to rise above selfishness and serve others selflessly.

I've been waitin' to tell you Just because for a long time….. Says Ms Clara Fernandes

 

Just because I’m silent, doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot to say.

Just because  I appear happy, doesn’t mean everything is okay.

Just because I don’t listen to your problems, doesn’t mean I don’t care.

Just because I’m stubborn, doesn’t mean I’m not easy going.

Just because I’m honest, doesn’t mean I’m outspoken.

Just because I didn’t add you in my list doesnt mean that I don’t have feelings for you

Just because I’m not like you, doesn’t mean I’m weird.

Just because I say I don’t love you, doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings for you.

Just because I forgive, doesn’t mean i forget.

Men are nice when they are married Says Ms Clara Fernandes

 

Men tend to behave better when they're married - both because marriage helps to improve their behavior, and nicer men are more likely to be married in the first place. "Not everyone is equally likely to enter the institution of marriage, but those that do enter into it get some benefit from it .Men with fewer nasty qualities were more likely to eventually end up married. Married men try to decreased all the bad qualities in them, They try to adjust with their partner so that relationship works very smoothly. And when they get married, they get even less antisocial. So both things are going on.".Married men may spend more time with their spouses than their friends and bad behaviors such as delinquency and binge drinking tend to be group activities. In addition, married men "have more to lose" if they're caught doing illegal activities, and may care what their spouses think.

Married people as a group tend to be healthier than singles. Still, people with spouses tend to live longer, be less depressed, and suffer less from heart disease and stroke.

Dazzle your date! Says Ms Clara Fernandes

Everyone should look their very best on their first date. This begins by a careful selection of what you’re going to wear. This should be done keeping in mind what kind of place you are going to on your first date. Usually dates are planned at casual places. So, dress accordingly. The more formal the place, the more formal is the dress. But have two or three dresses ready with accessories to avoid panic on D-Day.

    You must take a shower before you get ready, even if you have had one in the morning. Smelling nice is one of the most important part of this kind of meeting. Use a good perfume before you leave your home or office for your date. But at the same time don’t bathe in perfume, else your date won’t be able to breathe because of your strong perfume.

    Set your hair nicely. If possible, get your hair cut or trimmed a day or two before for a fresh and neat look. Girls should go for a simple hairstyle and blowing drying your hair for a date will help you dazzle your date.

Eat with awareness

Becoming More Aware Of Your Relationship With Food and Life is a must, says Ms Clara Fernandes 

    THERE is no menu to follow. Mindful eating is about how and why you eat and less about what you eat. When you are closely in touch with your eating, you know the exact moment you are satisfied.
    “To understand why, what, when and how we eat, we have to be compassionate and non-judgmental. This allows us to take a closer look at our behaviour,” “A human brain consumes a lot of energy to do the daily mental activities. This energy comes from carbohydrates in its simplest form — glucose, which is supplied by the food we eat or from the glycogen stored in our body. Glucose is also supplied from the proteins stored in the muscles.”Most of us give in to binge eating during stress. In such situations, stress hormones are released in our body, which protect our organ systems from any kind of damage, but create a phenomenal demand on the energy stores of our body. This leads to a drop in the blood sugar level, followed by a sudden craving to eat something that will give pleasure.
The so-called ‘binge eating’ or ‘sugar cravings’ or ‘the sweet tooth getting active’ triggers off from this point.
Is it possible to live a stress-free life? No, but busting out the ill-effects of stress is possible. Yoga, meditation and deep breathing exercises balance the stress hormones (cortisols). Eating small, frequent meals, which are full of good quality proteins and carbohydrates, ensure a constant flow of sugar to the brain and minimise drop in the blood sugar levels.
If you eat in haste, while standing, watching TV, chatting on the Internet or mentally preoccupied with something, you reduce the satiety value of food. The colour, texture, flavour, taste and appearance of foods can impart a sense of satisfaction and contentment. Even a simple yet balanced meal gives the pleasure of the most exotic-looking food laid out.

Get the most from your meal
Eat slowly. Learn to savour your food. You may have skipped your meals earlier but no more! Regular meals are a must. Big isn’t necessarily better when it comes to portion sizes. Smaller meals eaten through the day are better than three large meals. Neither stuff nor starve. Eat slowly allowing your stomach to signal when it’s had enough. Eat more during the day and less at night to compensate for the drop in metabolism. Fat-free isn’t necessarily healthy. It will still get stored as fat if you overeat. It’s okay to indulge sometimes. A piece of cake, a scoop of ice-cream will make you a happy person
