Valentine Tips for Enhancing Your Relationship

Ask the expert – Tips for enhancing your relationship –

No sooner do the festivities of the holidays pass then we begin to see cupids in flight and we know that Valentine’s Day will soon be here.  While it is fun to commemorate our special relationships on a Valentine’s Day,  I decided to “Ask the Expert” for the best way to nurture and grow relationships everyday.  I was unable to reach Cupid, the ultimate relationship expert.  Instead I will share the advise of notorious cupid surrogate, Dr. Phil.

 Have A Solid Friendship And Set Specific Goals For The Relationship.

“Ask yourself what kind of friend you are being to your mate,” Dr. Phil says. “If you want a good friend, be a good friend,” he suggests.
“Wake up each morning and say, ‘What can I do today to improve the relationship?'” Dr. Phil advises.  “Even small things will accumulate over time and make a difference. Find a quiet moment each day and come up with a specific goal to improve your relationship, whether it’s calling your spouse during the day just to say hi, or telling your mate that you love him or her more often. Make a conscious effort.”

Take Time to Nurture Your Relationship
If I were able to get in touch with Cupid he would no doubt offer up the following advice:  Without regular attention relationships will wither.  Make the commitment to spend regular time relaxing and reconnecting with your loved one. Schedule regular time to nurture your relationship. 

And that brings us back to Valentine’s Day.  A day together enjoying massages at a spa is the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day.  Research shows that massage and spa services go beyond pampering — they help relieve stress, anxiety and provide deep relaxation. More and more medical studies are finding that stress can lead to many unwelcome side effects, including high blood pressure, decreased immunity function and reduced energy levels.

Spas are places devoted to overall well-being through a variety of services that encourage the renewal of mind, body and spirit.  Is there a better gift to share with your loved one this Valentine’s Day?  Call Changes Salon & Day Spa today and schedule time to rest, relax and reconnect with your someone special.
