Having hobbies you participate in as a couple is a great way to relate to your partner on another level, but that doesn’t mean you should abandon your individual hobbies all together.

Celebrate Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day should be a day for celebration and appreciating our mothers for what they do for us, but for some people it is a day of sadness and wishing. If you know someone who may be in this position then think about how they may feel. Some of them can’t even go and visit their loved ones because they’re too far away or don’t know where they are. Not everyone has their Mum around on Mother’s Day.

Try improving yourself instead of judging others
We make judgements about others all the time, usually without even realising it. As a practical exercise, try to catch yourself in the act of judging another person or group of people, and whenever you do, judge yourself instead. Consider how you can improve yourself.
