The connections you forge with others can have profound effects on your physical, emotional, and mental health, making it essential to understand and nurture them.
Are you giving enough attention to your relationships?
Holistic health emphasises the connected nature of your body, mind, and spirit. It suggests that true well-being cannot be achieved by focusing on just one aspect of our health in isolation. Relationships, whether they are with family, friends, or romantic partners, play a crucial role in maintaining this balance.
Positive relationships provide emotional support, reduce stress, and even contribute to physical health,
Negative or toxic relationships can have the opposite effect.
At the core of your emotional health lies the quality of your relationships. When you feel connected to others, you experience a sense of 
belonging and security that can significantly reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
Studies have shown that individuals with strong social ties are less likely to suffer from mental health issues. The reason for this is simple: having someone to talk to, share experiences with, and lean on during tough times acts as a buffer against the stresses of life.
On the flip side, poor relationships, characterised by conflict, lack of communication, or emotional abuse, can lead to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Chronic stress from unhealthy relationships can trigger the body’s stress response, leading to a host of physical health problems over time.
Give thanks for your good relationships
For the challenging relationships, review just one. Step back from the hassle of that relationship and examine what life lesson it may be trying to teach you. Once you understand what it is, you will step out of victim mode and more easily take action to remedy the situation. Once you can demonstrate to the Universe you have learnt that lesson, the relationship will improve.
