談錢傷感情
Most people strive to make as much money as possible, so they can increase their standard of living, enjoy the finer things and have security and stability in their life. However, sometimes having a lot of money can be a curse and not a blessing, especially if your fortune interferes or ruins your relationship. If you are starting to earn big or if you are already earning big and concerned that the cash might send you to divorce court, or at very least to the therapist’s chair, here are some tips on how to make the money enhance, not detract from your relationship:
1. Make sure the foundation of your relationship is solid irrespective of your finances. Are you in love with each other? or with each other’s pocketbooks? If it’s the latter, this might be a warning sign.
2. Don’t make your relationship be about “keeping up with the Jones.” In this day and age, there is always going to be a bigger Jones, so try not to focus on them and focus on yourself, your own relationship and how to be the happiest you can be together without outside influences.
3. Don’t make your relationship be all about the money. Don’t give expensive gifts as a substitute for spending quality time together. Nice things are nice, but they are nicer if you do not feel alone on the inside.
4. Remember that little gestures feel more personal and thoughtful than grandiose, over the top things. If you can afford to charter a yacht and go on a moonlight cruise, go ahead and do that sometimes, but also remember to mix loving sweet gestures like bringing her her favorite candy bar, making her dinner (it’s the effort that counts) or getting her a greeting card for $2 where you share your sentiment and your love.
5. If you are single and dating and want the other person to love you for you and not for your checkbook, it’s simple, don’t flaunt your checkbook. You have plenty of time to spoil someone after you create a foundation for your relationship and after you are sure that this someone really cares about you.
6. Incorporate some philanthropy into your life and into your relationship. It’s feels good to give back and to give to others who are not as fortunate as you are. This is something that the two of you can do together.

Tips
to Overcome Negative Thoughts: Positive Thinking Made Easy
(By Michelle Uy tinybuddha.com)
“See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort.” ~Dalai Lama
Negative thoughts drain you of energy and
keep you from being in the present moment. The more you give in to your
negative thoughts, the stronger they become. I like the imagery of a small ball
rolling along the ground, and as it rolls, it becomes bigger and faster.
Here are ten things I did to help overcome
my negative thoughts that you can also try:
1. Smile.
I didn’t do much of this during the weekend
so I literally had to bring myself in front of a mirror and force myself to
smile. It really does help change your mood and relieve stress. I also felt
lighter because it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown.
2. Surround yourself with positive people.
I called a friend who I knew could give me
constructive, yet loving feedback. When you’re stuck in a negative spiral, talk
to people who can put things into perspective and won’t feed your negative
thinking.
3. Change the tone of your thoughts from negative to positive.
For example, instead of thinking, “We are
going to have a hard time adjusting to our living situation,” think, “We will
face some challenges in our living situation, but we will come up with solutions
that we will both be happy with.”
4. Help someone.
Take the focus away from you and do
something nice for another person. I decided to make a tray of food and donate
it to the Salvation Army. It took my mind off of things and I felt better for
helping someone else.
5. Remember that no one is perfect and let yourself move forward.
It’s easy to dwell on your mistakes. I felt
terrible that I acted this way and that I wasted our weekend. The only thing I
can do now is learn from my mistakes and move forward. I definitely don’t want
to have a weekend like that again.
6. List five things that you are grateful
for right now.
Being grateful helps appreciate what you
already have. Here’s my list: My cats, health, a six-week trip to Asia, a new
yoga class that I’ll be teaching, and for my mom’s biopsy coming out clean.
