“The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
“We have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past, or that people will act in a certain way. But we are in charge of our own attitudes.” – Charles R Swindoll
If you’re dehydrated, drink plenty of fluids: water, diluted squash or fruit juice. These are much more effective than large amounts of tea or coffee. Fizzy drinks may contain more sugar than you need and may be harder to take in large amounts.
Dehydration is caused by not drinking enough fluid or by losing more fluid than you take in. Fluid is lost through sweat, tears, vomiting, urine and diarrhoea.
Even when you are stressed, tired, beyond your limits and dealing with your own feelings, taking it out on others can have a huge impact on how they feel and behave.
Be open to your feelings and how they change, and also be aware of the effect of your behaviour on others. People sometimes forget that our behaviour can really affect how others feel.
Focus on loving yourself instead of loving the idea of other people loving you.
Your experience of feelings will adapt, change and grow throughout your entire life – after puberty, in your 20’s, 30’s, after marriage, relationships, children, divorce and so on. All these life experiences change your understanding of feelings and your priorities.
Water makes up over two-thirds of the healthy human body. It lubricates the joints and eyes, aids digestion, flushes out waste and toxins, and keeps the skin healthy.
Dehydration occurs when your body loses more fluid than you take in. When the normal water content of your body is reduced, it upsets the balance of minerals (salts and sugar) in your body, which affects the way it functions.
