One habit worth developing, is the habit of youthfulness. Avoid the collapse of old age, where the lower abdomen protrudes, the shoulders slump, the head drops forward. That is the posture of collapse into old age. Keep the neck muscles strong and your neck long, abdominal muscles firm (inner core muscles as developed in Yoga and Pilates) to support the internal organs. The potbelly on so many men is the true reflection, not of old age, but of collapse of the vitality of youth, the surrender to gravity. To overcome it, is simply a habit of youthfulness.

Maintaining intimacy in relationships can be difficult, but something worth striving for. Wtih these tips, you will be on your way to experiencing more closeness in your relationships.

It is quite common for couples to get married because they have a baby on the way or because they want kids and historically it was common practice to have children soon after marriage. Unfortunately this kind of marriage scenario can lead to common marriage problems either early on in the relationship or once the children have grown up.

As relationships mature, grow and develop people can sometimes forget the little things that can have a positive impact on the quality of the relationship. I put these in three categories: Simple courtesies, simple pleasures, and simple words.

Can you be specific about what intimacy means to you? How about intimacy for your partner? In order to achieve passion in your relationship – to solve the Passion Equation – you both must recognize intimacy. Because intimacy looks and feels different for each of you, it may require more thought and work than you realize. To Co-Create a Conscious Relationship, to let each other know you are absolutely in love, you must develop the skills for intimacy. This assessment will help you understand the elements necessary for this step of the equation.

Here are some simple ways to induce romance in your own life or to pleasure your love mate...

Is your relationship over? Learn how to get through it so you can get to the other side. Remember, what you tell yourself is everything. Learn how to change your thoughts and you'll change your life; just give yourself some time.

Do you feel like a victim in your relationship? Discover how shifting your intention from blaming your partner to learning about yourself can start you on the road to healing your relationship.

Have you ever, wrongly, assumed that your partner shared your beliefs and attitudes? Do you make a point of gathering information about a new partner? Or do you just revel in the joy of a new relationship? If you allow love to blind you, what you don't know about your relationship, may harm you.

Need to get beyond relationships that just don't work?

Modern communication technology is supposed to make us more connected at a time when we're all so busy. But if we're not careful, it can actually interfere with our ability to be close and present with our friends and loved ones.

We are all so busy that it's hard to remember, and to find the time, to tell our lovers how much they mean to us. In the beginning it was easy; we so obviously lived just for each other. Even our friends got a little bored with our mutually exclusive focus! Slowly, life got in the way and responsibilities pulled us in different directions. If we can no longer spend hours exploring each other's world, we can occasionally interject an unexpected message that jolts our partner into a brief moment of focus on us and the relationship between us that is at the core of our existence.
