Relationship is a time consuming institution that drains a large chunk of our mental and emotional space whenever it doesn’t go right. As soon as you notice a red flag in your relationship, I believe it is the perfect time to take to your heels, except you can miraculously change the hand of time, if at all you can.

With that said, there are certain steps to take to yank yourself out of a toxic relationship, if you really want to.

1. Seek counsel: People in toxic relationship are advised to take counsel from friends, family, professionals and permit me to say, love doctors if need warrants. It could get difficult to think straight trying to get out of the relationship. You, need rehabilitation because the process takes time and you need supportive friends and family around you all through the process.
2. Express your feelings: When trying to exit a toxic relationship, you need to express your feelings in every possible way. Do not keep too mute. Endeavor to express the way you feel to the person you’re in a toxic relationship with, hoping they would take it lightly and reasonably with you.
3. Make a firm decision: After you must have expressed your feelings, the next thing is to make a concrete decision whether or not the relationship can be salvaged. If you see the need to fight for the relationship, then go ahead, if otherwise, kindly talk a beach walk-away from the relationship.
4. Surround yourself with positivity: Whatever your decisions are, you need to back them up with a strong  positive vibe. Ensure you stay positive at all instance. Do not rule out on love totally.
5. Stick with your decision:  As said earlier, do not back out on your decision. Hold firm to it for as long as you deem fit. It is normal that you miss the person you left; we are humans not robots and we have a mind. However, you need to remember that the decision you took was for good, so stick to it and resist the urge to go back to your toxic relationship.

It is better leave a relationship when you notice the red flags or see the handwritings on the wall, than to continue bearing the emotional stress and assaults.

Prioritization is simple, but could be otherwise if not probably managed; first things coming first. When you prioritize your program adequately, there are chances you would get rewarded. Achieving your goal and prioritization are two sides of a coin, they go hand-in-hand. There are ways prioritization can help you achieve.

1. Commit to a timeline: Prioritizing involves commiting to a workable lifestyle or habit that would yield success. Here, you have to arrange activities in order of importance and urgency and strictly commit to it.
2. Keep to your to-do list: Having a workable to-do list is one side of a coin, keeping your part of the deal to making the to-do list order your activities is another. Some say a to-do list is a way to procrastinate when you do not follow them, and otherwise when you follow or allow order your day.
3. Plan in reverse: This means pondering what you wish to achieve. Which would make you think and act fast for the next line of action. If you have a task ahead of tomorrow, it is good to think about the task of the day after tomorrow. This would help you in strategizing properly.
4. Set your goals: If you know what you’re trying to accomplish, staying focused and pursuing a goal would be much easier. The best thing to do is set a goal, like something that would keep you up at night and set you on your feet.
5. Use a gamification system: To gamify means to use elements or anything appealing to cause self encouragement and motivation. Therefore to achieve some goals you need to gamify it by placing sticky notes and reminder for your proposed achievements.

Many a time, you come across a lot of people who are in dire need of one thing or the other, but you get stymied because you cannot meet the needs of these folks all at the same time.

However, there are certain benefits of rendering help to others.

1.  It fosters relationship between you and others.
2. It makes you feel good
3. It improves the lives of others, however little
4. It makes the world a suitable place to live in, and
5. If the kind gesture is reciprocated, it could have a multiplier effect.

A lot of us are confused on how to be of help to others. Look no further, the following would reduce your stress about this subject matter.

1. Wear a smile and be friendly: The Holy Writ has it that “a man who wants to have friends must show himself friendly” This is simple enough, there would be reasons to wear a moody and tough face, try to reflect on the people who look up to you. A warm smile can bring comfort to anyone you randomly come across.
2. Donate to charity what you do not use: Have you taken a good look at your closet to see that chunk of clothes and shoes you do not wear? I think it is time to give those things out to the less privileged.
3. Make donations: Making donations these days have been made easy. You do not need to make it formal or official, whenever you go to a malls, Cinemas and entertaining centres you would see donation boxes lying fallow, kindly drop any amount of your choice, this goes a long way.
4. Bend over to help: I believe it costs nothing to be of the slightest assistance to your neighbor who has a heavy load to lift, object to pick from the floor and the likes.
5. Teach: It is said that if you want what you have learned to stick to your memory, teach others. You can tutor your neighbors’ children or dabble into adult education without charging a penny. It goes a long way.
6. Pray for others: Many people do not know what this mean anymore. A little word of prayer for that fellow goes a long way.

Endeavor to show a little bit of love and kindness wherever you find yourself.

Getting along with people could get a little complicated. However it is imperative to have a good and working relationship with people, most especially the ones you’re in a group with. They say “If you want to run fast, run alone, but if you want to run far, go with people” Having said this, you need to have a good relationship with people regardless of the situation you might find yourself.

To get your team working together, you need to do:

1. Listen with the intent to understand: It is said that majority of people listen to reply, rather to understand. To make a team work together, you need learn to listen to understand the plight of the narrator.
2. Practise the golden rule: The golden rule has become obsolete in our generation. People don’t out themselves in other’s shoes, instead they act like they don’t make mistake. To get a team working, regardless of the number, you need to put yourself in the position of each individual, however strenuous it might get.
3. Be polite: The world is losing it when it comes to being polite. Myriad go with “this is my nature, I don’t know how to pretend when things aren’t right” Trying to make a team work, whether you’re the captain or not, you must be polite. You could be polite with diplomacy, but it should not take the place of being polite. Just be tenderhearted, you’ll be surprise to know the number of miraculous stunts you’d pull.
4. Cease the occasion to say soothing words: Your team would fall into a very bad or rough day where thing would go not-too-good for you. This is the perfect opportunity to conjure encouraging words to keep the team spirit high and working.
5. Show interest in others: A good way to make things work in your group is to show genuine and honest interest in others without any ulterior motive. When people notice you show interest in them it builds up their capacity and propensity to succeed.
6. Be positive: This is related to one of the above. Being positive means saying and acting positive in all circumstances, without a reservation. Being positive is a mind game and you need to brace up your mind to stand up to the occasion when it arises.
