9 Reasons It’s Time To Let Go Of a Relationship

A relationship that we care about is very difficult to let go for all of us. There are times, however, where letting go of someone may be the best thing to do. After all, this is your life…and only you can make the ultimate decision whether or not that person fits into it.

1. You don’t feel positive after talking to them

You should be accepting of each other and supportive. If you hit a point where the positive aspects of the relationship are sporadic, it may be time to let go. You may actually come to a point where you attempt to avoid the person while hoping to maintain the relationship. This may sound crazy, but people do it all the time. “Maybe it’ll get better”, they think to themselves. Perhaps, but then it’s not a healthy relationship.

2. You are not able to depend on them

People that are undependable often find an assortment of excuses. However, a consistent behavior of this kind usually means one thing: they are not dependable. Someone that is not dependable is generally not a person worthy of your presence.

3.  The person unremittingly breaks your trust

Trust is the foundation upon which a relationship is built, and it is mistrust which often destroys it. When you trust someone and they continuously break your trust, it’s not your fault, it’s theirs. It’s very natural to immediately blame yourself for having trusted someone only to have them break that trust, but don’t. It’s only through the experience where we determine whether or not someone is trustworthy; either way, you’ll learn a valuable lesson or add a great relationship.

4.  The person is not consistent with their behavior

Inconsistent behavior is a potential sign of a negative relationship. Only you can decide if the behavior merits a termination of the relationship. People are flawed. Flaws are natural. However, it’s the degree to which a person accepts these flaws and continues to allow them to influence your relationship that truly matters. You should evaluate the overall health of the relationships that you hold and make the best decision for you.

5. They don’t make the relationship a priority

People that value their relationships will not allow the fact that they are busy to undermine your relationship. Understandably, the get-togethers and all-nighters are drastically limited. However, with the advent of technology comes the ability to stay connected to each other anywhere. If someone is not willing to make some time for you, be it a quick call or text, then they are effectively showing indifference – it’s probably time to let go of the relationship.

6. The person is incessantly needy

Too much dependence is a sign of neediness. This is a problem because neediness drains you of your time and energy, including the time and energy necessary to maintain other relationships and take care of yourself. People that are incessantly needy always seem to be coming to you – for pampering. If a relationship begins to feel this way, it may be time to let go and reconsider why you have a relationship like this in the first place.

7. You find yourself forcing someone to care

Genuine relationships are made up of two individuals that have chosen to love and care for each other. It’s easy for someone to show up in your life and tell you that they love you; it’s much more difficult for them to demonstrate that love consistently. Those that choose to remain in your life and steadily demonstrate their love and care are the type of individuals that you want for your relationships.

8. They don’t actively listen to you

A person that values your relationship will make your presence a priority, including when you’re trying to have a conversation. It’s certainly not acceptable for them to generally display apathy when you speak or constantly redirect the conversation back onto themselves, completely disregarding your feelings.

9. You change who are you around that person

You should never feel the need to be another person just to accommodate someone. It’s exhausting, first of all, and it is a telltale sign that the relationship is not consensual. Whether or not the person verbalizes their dissatisfaction with you or you innately know that you must change in order for them to accept you doesn’t matter. What matters is that you do not feel comfortable being yourself, which shouldn’t be acceptable to you under any circumstance.

How To Exercise To Avoid The Problems Of Back Pain

Various researches have shown that as much as Eighty percent of adults will most likely suffer through back pain at least once in their lives. While that might seem like a great excuse to just stop going to the gym—you should check your instincts here.

If youre not dealing with any form of traumatic injury, know that most people suffer from back pain as a result of a weak core, weak hips and glutes, and prolonged periods of poor posture while sitting.

That’s because prolonged sitting in the wrong position may cause the hip flexors to tighten, anteriorly rotating the pelvis to increase pressure on your lumbar, or lower, spine. And that’s where exercise comes in.

If you’re suffering from back pain, you may initially need rest. If you however exercise properly, it can help to actually cure your back pain. Here are a number of exercise moves to help treat and prevent back pain.

Tabletop Transverse Abdominis Hold
To perform this exercise, lie on your back with your knees bent at 90 degrees in a tabletop position and hands at your side. Push your back flat to the ground to maintain core activation, and lift your shoulder blades and tuck your chin. Hold for five to 10 seconds, then relax. Repeat 10 times.

This move will cause the transverse abdominis (the weight belt of the body) to engage. Avoid looking back or hyper extending your neck. Also, don’t allow your lower back come off the ground or the essence of the exercise is defeated.

Donkey Kick With Band     To perform this exercise, begin on all fours with hips directly over knees and shoulders directly over wrists, one part of a resistance band placed above your ankle and the other on the arch of the foot you are going to lift.

Ensure you keep a 90-degree flexion in the right knee by raising your knee up, and your foot towards the sky. Lift until you feel the glute activate, then return to start. Repeat 12 times, then repeat on the other side.

However make sure you dont hyperextend the hip at the top of the leg lift. If you do so, you will be using your lower back and putting pressure on the spine.

The Transverse Abdominis Pushdown
Lie on your back with knees bent at 90 degrees in a tabletop position. Place your right palm on your right thigh and your left palm on your left thigh. Lift your shoulder blades and tuck your chin. Press your hands into your thighs as you push your knees towards your shoulders, resisting the motion. Hold for five to 10 second then relax. Repeat 10 times.

If you feel pressure in your lower back, lower your head so that it’s on the ground or try moving your knees a little closer to your shoulders. Avoid holding your breath.

The Plank
Place your forearms on the ground, elbows below the shoulders and your arms about should be shoulder-width apart. If flat palms bother your wrists, make a fist.

Tuck your toes, lift your butt up into the air (plank position), and maintain a neutral neck looking down at the floor. Squeeze your glutes, squeeze your quads, lift your hips away from the floor, and make sure you have a slight pelvic or butt tuck to avoid lumbar spine extension. Hold for 30 seconds.

Avoid looking up in the plank position as that can help you avoid neck hyperextension. Don’t arch your back, or you may cause lumbar hyperextension
