Exploration is a key to human enrichment. Exploring
who you are will help you feel happier. Exploring what
type of relationships you have with people will allow to
improve them. Becoming aware and making an
inventory of what works in your relationships and what
doesn't will be your first step.
And don't get discouraged. Most highly successful
people have some issues in their relationships with
themselves or others. If you are in a relationship that you
want to transform or improve, you need to find new
ways of dealing with issues. Otherwise, following the
same ‘routine’ or behavioural patterns will produce
anything but what you want.
As Albert Einstein once said, “It is insane to keep doing
the same thing over and over again and expect different
results.” If you keep doing what you have been doing in
an unhappy relationship, you will keep getting what you
have been getting.

To nourish means to give unconditionally.
Before you create anything or improve your relationships,
you need to learn to nourish yourselves and fill up your
emotional bucket with positive emotions and healthy
thoughts. Feeling good and thinking good will make a lot
of difference in your life.
Nourishing your body via healthy practices. Nourishing
your mind with a solid focus and mindful priorities.
Nourishing your emotions with positive feelings.
Nourishing your soul with a feeling of gratitude and love.
Once you feel nourished yourself, you will feel the need
to spread this wonderful feeling to other beings around
you. That is our nature.

You want to move away from reacting and move
towards responding to events in life. That is a thoughtful
and mindful way of life interactions.
When stressful situations arise on a daily basis, the body
becomes polluted with a hormone called cortisol. It is
produced by an adrenal gland in response to stress and it
supresses the immune system. It also decreases bone
formation. When people start suffering from colds and flu
and think it is because of the weather, the truth is more
likely it is because you have had too much stress and are
having adrenalin gland fatigue due to chronic cortisol
release.
Responding allows to navigate through life using pre
frontal cortex and eliminate stress from its inception.
It is considered, nowadays, the most important part of the
social brain, as it is linked to the social and emotional
intelligence.

Imagination is more important than willpower. It
creates desired outcome effortlessly and consistently.
When you imagine things in the future or
remembering things from the past you activate the
same parts of your brain to produce similar physiology as
if you were to experience this now. That's why you need
to be careful what you imagine in your head as it has high
likellihood of happening. As they say 'you are what you
think'.
Exercising positive imagination, compassion and
mindful meditation will enhance the creation of new
neuropathways to help you enrich yourself and your
relationships. It will enhance the quality of your life.

The path towards human enrichment can't be without
physical manifistation of love. And that can be done
through hugging. Hugging is a simple act of
connection and love, to share with another being, to
multiply the positive energy in the world.
Hugging irons out any tensions between people.
In families if you doubled the amount of hugging you
would half the amount of anger. That is the power of
hugs.
Laughing can be as strong. It is an armour of peace.
When exercised positively it dissipates tensions,
aggressions, depressions and jealousy. It is a wonderful
tool to be able to use with precision and care.
