Today we Have 10 Steps to a Healthier and Happier Home. We’ll handle the healthier and we have a special guest, Dr. Fran Walfish, America’s Favorite Psychologist who will be joining us for the Happier.
Explain how the 2 go hand in hand – healthier means happier. Give examples of patients that get their health together and then their life falls into place.
1. have your hormones check and keep them balanced
2. know all your numbers and always strive for better
3. Exercise
4. Take “screen breaks” as a family
5. Change your diet
6. Give up trying to control other people, especially your spouse/partner.
7. View people as good until they demonstrate otherwise. Most people are good. Those who are not will reveal themselves in time and you can weed out the ones who are not worthy of your friendship.
8. Give yourself Special Time. Take 10-15 minutes each day to be with yourself and chill. You'd be surprised how challenging this is when you have a spouse and children tugging at you 24/7. Give yourself short, undivided, positive attention each day for nourish and fortify you. Let differences work for them. All couples are made with two different people. No two people in the world are just alike. And, after working with hundreds of couples, I’m convinced opposites often do attract. But, great couples learn to build upon those differences. They build upon each other’s strengths and let each other minimize their weaknesses. “Two are better than one” — the author of Ecclesiastes says — and great couples live this truth. Extend grace for the minor annoyances. Can we just be honest? People do stuff that gets on our nerves at times. That’s true of all of us — even with the people —maybe even especially with the people we love the most. Great couples have learned not to let those little things distract from the major things — like love and commitment. Serve each other. There are no 50-50 splits of responsibility in a great marriage. Great couples learn to sacrificially serve one another. In the best relationships, it would be difficult to judge who serves one another more. There may be be times one gives 100%, because the other can’t give anything. And there are other times the other spouse gives 100%. And neither complains when it’s their turn to give all. Prioritize their time. Great couples spend time together. Life is busy for all of us. These couples schedule time together. They find things to do that each of them enjoy. And, they say no to other things that would keep them from having adequate time together. Keep no secrets. There are no hidden issues among great couples. They are vulnerable with each other. Both partners open themselves up to the other person completely. Publicly support each other. Great couples are supportive of each other in public. They don’t tear each other down in public. They handle private issues in private. Keep no record of wrongs. Great couples learn to forgive. There aren’t any lingering issues that haven’t been resolved.
9. Be kind and nice to your child(ren).
10. Never engage in negotiations, bargaining, or deal-making
