How to Make a Relationship Last

Whether you’ve been together weeks or years, and whether you define it by marriage or not, a relationship takes a lot of work, and not all relationships last. The ones that do last, however, have the potential to bring a lifetime of happiness. With that in mind, the team here at Vistmedia dug into our expansive collection of upbeat ebooks and audiobooks to bring you these tips. With any luck they’ll serve you for a long time, help your relationship last, and help you and your partner be happy!

Communication. We’re all tired after a long day, but "How was work, honey?" doesn't really count as communication. True communication involves sharing your feelings with your significant other, and being open and receptive when they share theirs. A lack of this sort of open and honest communication is a huge reason why many relationships don't last.

Compromise. It's a big one, and it's not always easy, but compromising is without a doubt one of the most important aspects to a long lasting relationship. Compromise doesn’t just mean settling on which movie to watch, it means ensuring that your life goals and priorities are aligned for the long term, and a lack of compromise can often mean a couple’s undoing.

Compatibility. Last but not least, and this one has a lot to do with compromise, ensuring your wants, needs, and goals are compatible with those of your partner is essential for the long term success of any relationship.

Easy Ways to Improve Your Mood

 

It’s no secret, the world is facing some tough times, and many of us find ourselves struggling. While improving the situation on a global scale may take some time, it’s well worth finding a few ways to improve our respective moods, which may help improve our outlook. With that in mind, the team here at Vistmedia thought we’d comb through our extensive collection of ebooks and audiobooks to bring you these easy ways to improve your mood:

Go for a walk. Sometimes the best possible way to clear your head and get yourself ready for some new ideas is to go for a walk. If at all possible taking to nature for that walk would be ideal, but if you can’t make it out of the city the open space outside of your home will still be of immense benefit, and getting your body moving will help get blood flowing to the brain as well.

Take some deep breaths. Feel your heart racing as soon as you turn on the news? You’re not alone, but all it takes are some deep breaths to help calm yourself and improve your mood. Sit down or lie down, whichever is more comfortable, and take a few moments to focus on your breath. Starting with some regular breathing, make those breaths progressively deeper and in no time you’ll feel the resulting wave of calm.

Some Hopeful Quotes For Tough Times

It’s no secret, the Covid-19 pandemic is resulting in some tough times for many of us, and it may be all too easy to feel like hope is hard to come by. But hope will always be there, it’ll shine past the shadows, and it’ll uplift spirits even through troubling times. Here are some hopeful quotes to help get you through these troubling times.

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” - Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017.

“It’s always something, to know you’ve done the most you could. But, don’t leave off hoping, or it’s of no use doing anything. Hope, hope to the last!” - Charles Dickens, English whose works include A Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and A Tale of Two Cities.

“Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, Wait and Hope.” - Alexandre Dumas, French author whose works include The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later.

How to Stay Happy in an Era of Social Isolation

There’s no doubt about it, these are scary times. The spread of Coronavirus and Covid-19 have much of the world in a panic, but as cooler heads prevail and measures are being taken to stop the spread, many health officials are recommending preventative social isolation. While the measure may sound extreme, it may also be necessary to mitigate the damage this virus could do, so for those worried about how to stay happy during social isolation, here are a couple of ways to do it.

Pick up the phone. Our phones are no longer phones, they’re supercomputers capable of performing thousands of different tasks, many of them simultaneously, and have evolved from being communication devices to entertainment devices. But you know what? They can still make phone calls. If you’re feeling the sting of social isolation, there’s nothing to say you can’t call up a friend, family member, or loved one, and just chat. Hearing a human voice on the other end can go a long way towards keeping you happy in troubling times, the way text never could.

Video chat. And as if it weren’t already obvious, thanks to those super capable smartphones, or any other camera-equipped device, we can add an element of video to those voice calls. Long the tool of long distance relationships, video chat will never replace the feeling of someone being there, but it’ll go a long long way towards combating loneliness and keeping you happy.

The Importance of Putting Yourself First

It may sound selfish, but the best way to help others, especially those you’re close to, may be by helping yourself first.

Often referred to as the airplane analogy, self care has often been compared to the emergency procedures on an airplane: You should always put your oxygen mask on first before assisting anyone else with theirs. The premise is simple enough; if you don’t put your oxygen mask on when you need it, not only will you be in no position to help others in need of assistance, but you’ll find yourself in need of assistance as well.

The sentiment stands true for everything from physical and mental wellbeing to personal development, and it’s a way of life that’s every bit as beneficial to those around you as it is to you. As self made rags to riches millionaire Jim Rohn once said: “The greatest gift you can give somebody is your own personal development. I used to say, "If you will take care of me, I will take care of you. "Now I say, I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.”

It’s worth remembering that putting yourself first is not a matter of being selfish, it’s a matter of ensuring you’re in the best possible place to help those you love.

Some People Just Won’t Like You, And That’s OK

You’ve definitely felt that sting at one point or another; you didn’t get invited to someone’s birthday party as a kid, you got rejected by our crush in high school, you just can’t seem to make that one coworker happy. Let’s be honest, not everyone is going to like you, much as you’d like them to. But you know what? That’s just fine. Here are three reasons why:

You’re unique among billions. There sure are a lot of people on the planet, roughly 7.5 billion people, in fact. Each of those people is unique, with their own tastes, their own way of being, and it’s absolutely impossible to please all of them. But nobody ever said you had to anyway! You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and that just means you’ll be extra special to the people who do like you.

It’s not you, it’s them. Sometimes other people really are the problem. Be it a lack of tolerance, a bad disposition, or maybe even a rough patch in their lives, not everyone will even be open to the possibility of liking you. Those are circumstances outside your control, and it’s best to accept the things you cannot change.

Time and energy are precious resources. If anything, not being liked by everyone is a valuable tool. It can help you decide who in your life is worth spending time and energy on. You only have limited amounts of each, spend them wisely!

Life Lessons to Take Into Retirement

With skyrocketing housing prices and salaries that don’t appear to be keeping up, retirement can seem like little more than a dream for some people, while still remaining a difficult challenge for other. That said, for most of us retirement in an inevitability, and here are three life lessons to keep in mind when contemplating retirement.

You can’t take your money with you when you die. Retirement often signifies an advancement in age, and when the time comes some of us start to consider our mortality. It’s important to remember, however, that we can’t take our money with us when we die. That money would likely better spent on living our retirement to the fullest, or better yet, living a good life while still working.

Time is more important than money. You may be fortunate enough to find yourself with more money than you need come retirement, but odds are the same can’t be said of your time. It’s worth keeping in mind when deciding how much of that time will be spent on making money before you reach retirement.

Regret is not worth hanging on to. You can’t change the past, but you can certainly decide of how you’ll let your relationship with the past affect your present and your future. Moving on is far healthier than dwelling, and those who don’t let the past haunt them find themselves much happier on average.

What The Right Pet Can Bring Into Our Lives

The furry friends we bring into our lives have so much to offer us, sometimes even more than we can offer them. While they definitely depend on us for their survival, there is so much that we have to gain from animal companionship. Here are three of the many things the right pet can bring into our lives.

Unconditional love. An animal doesn’t care what you look like or what you do for a living, you are the whole world to the pet you adopt and take care of, and not just because you feed them. That kind of unconditional love can be a comfort in times of need, and is one of the biggest benefits of bringing a furry friend into your life.

A sense of responsibility. When you take on the responsibility of adopting another living creature, all of a sudden life stops being just about you. That new friend depends on you for their survival, and that newfound sense of responsibility can be a very beneficial thing indeed.

Motivation. We all have days when we just don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning, but somehow we tend to have them less and less when there’s a special little someone just waiting for us to get out of bed and play! The right pet can definitely help motivate us, not just when it comes to getting out of bed!

The Benefits of Brewing Coffee at Home

Some of us lead busy lives and are constantly on the go, from family to work to social life and anything else we may have going on, so it’s understandable when we don’t have time to make our own meals or even our own coffee. But there’s much to be said for finding time to make it all yourself, particularly that cup of joe. Here are three of the many benefits of brewing your cup of coffee at home.

The savings add up. It may just be $3.00, depending on the cafe, but that daily chunk of change can quickly add up to a small fortune, especially when you take tax and tip into account. Specialty coffees can even amount to the price of small meals, making your daily habit an unexpected strain on your bank account. Making your coffee at home may require a small initial investment, but the savings will certainly add up over time.

It’s better for the environment. Let’s face it, between disposable cups, lids, sleeves, and sometimes straws, we’re making a huge amount of waste. When recycling isn’t available nearby, those on-the-go coffees create a considerable amount of garbage that can be avoided by using our mugs at home.

The perfect cup, every time. Nobody knows how you like your coffee quite like you do. How strong, how sweet, with an extra dash of cinnamon or a splash of milk. Regular patrons to cafes and coffee shops may have their order known by staff, but the staff can change, or they can get busy, or may even be having an off day. Making your coffee at home is the best way to ensure a consistent cup, just to your taste.
