A. Does love wear out overtime? I am content but there’s no excitement in our relationship. Love can wear out overtime, if the foundation of your relationship was not built on something relevant. What I mean is, as we grow and mature what we value can change. And that’s fine, a relationship should be able to weather that if the elementary parts of your relationship work. Do you have similar values, morals, and understanding of each other? Create more excitement in your relationship by doing more fun and interesting things together. Familiarity can seem boring sometimes, but remember it can also feel comfortable and secure. The are no rules as to what love should feel like. Q. I want a diet that includes carbs. All my friends are trying out the ketogenic diet and love it. I’m almost embarrassed to say that I want to eat carbs. I get called weak, and unfocused. What’s life without a pie every now and then? Registered Hypnotherapist m. 021 352 225 | e. [email protected] www.nayacunningham.com A. I agree. Find a balanced diet, maybe a nutritionist could be of some help. Q. Dad’s got a new partner and has invited her to Christmas lunch without asking the rest of the family. The problem is, she is much younger than Dad, and Mum is still on her own. This has got to be a disaster in the making. What do you think we should say to Dad? A. You don’t say how long it's been since Mum and Dad have separated, or if it was amicable. So if it’s all just new then perhaps the diplomatic thing to do would be to have two separate lunches or a lunch and a dinner. No secrets, tell each responsible adult why you feel that it's not respectful to anyone to be in this situation. However, if some time has passed perhaps ask Mum how she feels about this. She may surprise you by not caring as much as you do. Not having a new partner does not mean she’s not enjoying her single life and for the time being feels empowered by where she’s at. naya cunningham LIFESTYLE & WELLBEING 39 Q. Hi Naya. Lately, I just sit and stare out the window. My mind feels blank and unmotivated. I used to enjoy time with my children, cooking, and took pride in my home. Mum passed away a year ago, could that be it? My oldest son lost his job, and is returning home. My family seem to be doing alright but not as good as it used to be. Thanks. MF A. Dear MF, You sound overwhelmed with emotions right now. Stuck in the past with grief and anxious about your son’s future. Turn it around by refocusing on the things you get satisfaction and pleasure from, cooking, playing with the kids, and doing a bit around the house. It may seem like just going through the motions at first, but little by little you may find your way back to remembering how to be happy. If you don’t make any headway, hypnotherapy or a counsellor to talk to can be of great help. mind and body concepts For further support call to make a confidential appointment with Naya Ph 579 5606 WWW.NAYACUNNINGHAM.COM HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR LOCAL EXPERT?
