How to help maintain your own wellbeing
When love surpasses the trouble of a partner, a parent, a child or a friend, we can still sustain our own well-being.
- Work on your own joy. It will give you the happiness reserves you need to help the unhappy person.
- Don’t take it personally. Even if the person lashes out at you, remember it’s not your fault.
- Use the element of surprise. Get the person to engage in spontaneous and enjoyable activities.
- Prevent the spread. If you are the unhappy person, remember that people want to help. Allowing people to help makes them happier.
