From the creators of the popular video game known as Towerfall, here comes Celeste. Right from the beginning, Celeste tries to grip its player by adding a sequence to the story and building an intense platform for playing. It starts with the story of a girl named Madeline and her everlasting wish of climbing a mountain Celeste.

It is a game which challenges your patience. There are certain levels and platforms where your player will die over and over again only to be revived at the last minute checkpoint.

If you have played Life is Strange then you’ll know that a tell tale game is extremely amazing to start with. This game starts with the story of a boy called Chris is 10 years old with his super imaginative powers and the struggles to grow up.

 This game is not a prequel to Before the Storm. You might miss Max and Chloe but you will definitely love this game for sure. Filled with a tight story line around it, this game earns its spot in the right place.

Once you start playing this game, you will be faced to make different revelations and choices based on the player’s situation. You need to do them accordingly to reach a proper conclusion. And after all, you will just fall in love with the main character called Chris.

7. Frostpunk

Imagine a world like in the Ice Age. Frostpunk chooses to let the player deal into a frozen world which is full of surprises and chances. This video game is an underrated one due to less promotion and branding but it is a good play to start your weekend with.

You will have to play as the leader of a small encampment of humans that have found their way through a shelter in a completely abandoned valley. Once you start playing this game, you will get a good depth of it. Your final and main task is to oversee the survivor and gather resources to build important and mega infrastructures that can help to the expedition of a much wider world.

 There are some instances in the game where you have to be fair with your choices and you’ll face the consequences.

6. Dragon ball fighter Z

When starting with this game, there is only one thing to describe it by so far. Who doesn’t love Dragonball Z? This is an extremely happening game for everyone and of any age. For ones who have loved and played all the Dragonball Series, this game will nearly outstand from the rest of them.

This game should have been the game of the year but due to insufficiency promotion and image, this game suffered its major drawbacks and that is why it is lying over here in the list. There is everything in this game you can wish for. Good characters, strength, and everything. Even you’ll get to unlock Golden Frieza once you start playing.

 This game is just outstanding and marvelous. Every single character is fantastic and yes Yamcha too. Everything just sells out about this game and it is plainly suited for the best.

5. Monster Hunter: World

Starting with the Monster Hunter series, this game has series graphics to look out for. This game, as the name, suggest is just plainly built around hunting monsters but it is not as boring as it sounds. This is an open world game since you are playing as an fps character and you’ll find numerous pieces of evidence to pick up fights with the monsters of different types.

If you defeat any monster then they will leave you better materials to craft your sword and other hunting elements. Each monster comes with an unnerving point and score and it is important to complete the objectives to get higher in the charts.

This game is definitely worth a run.

4. Alto’s Odyssey

In the prequel to Alto’s runner and three years into making, this game definitely shares its spot at number 4. The great thing about this game is that it does not mess with the original plot of the previous game and keeps it intact.

In fact, you’ll find this game to be far more playable and enjoyable than the first one (all in my own opinion). There are new adventures to count, new places and new characters to see. You will fall in love with this game once you start playing it.

Also with the impressive graphics and tuning, this game deserves to sit at the home screen.

3. Red Dead Redemption 2

After playing this game for 3 days, all I can say is that there is nothing to pinpoint anything bad about this game. This game is unbreakingly handsome and there is such a gripping story attached to the plot line that you will start relating and start playing it more often.

There are few glitches which make this game insufferable but there are a lot of games with the same thing but they are still ranked at the highest right. With the exploration of an open world space, this game will peak your senses.

If you are not convinced by the reviews then just buy this game and start playing by yourself and you will know the difference.

2. Destiny 2, Warmind

She starts her day with warm lemon water and a teaspoon of honey, eats salads, lightly roasted or grilled lean meats with multigrain chappatis or brown rice, oatmeal, and other healthy foods. She maintains that hydration is very important for a healthy body and drinks a lot of water throughout the day. She satisfies her cravings with dark chocolate and snacks on fruits, nuts or dry fruits when peckish. Being Punjabi though, Sonam does allow herself to indulge once in a while.  
    Workout- Sonam also likes to do a mix of different workout routines to stay motivated. She loves Kathak and dances twice a week. Apart from that, her workouts are a mix of swimming, power yoga, pilates, cardio and strength training. Sonam never misses a workout and likes staying active all the time by going for a run or playing squash when unable to workout.

    The days have long gone by when Parineeti was overshadowed by her cousin Priyanka’s popularity. Parineeti Chopra has now made an image of her own in Bollywood with her applaudable acting and her transformation from a chubby debut actress to a stunning diva.
    Diet- Parineeti follows a strict low-carb low-fat and high-protein diet regime to maintain her figure. She eats dinner two hours before sleeping and stays hydrated all day with water, green tea and occasionally a fruit juice. Her diet is free from oily fatty foods and junk and comprises proteins like egg whites and chicken, nutrient dense foods like salads and fibrous foods like multigrain bread, roti, lentils, and brown rice. She occasionally indulges in her favorite pizzas and chocolates but makes sure to balance it out with lighter meals and extra-intense workouts the next day.
    Workout-Parineeti, like her sister, isn’t very fond of the gym (is that a ‘Chopra’ thing?) So she mixes her gym workouts up with other workouts like yoga, dancing, swimming and Kalaripayattu (a form of martial arts from Kerala). She starts her day with a morning jog and makes sure she gets some form of physical exercise every day.

    How can we forget including the gorgeous Sunny Leone in this list of hottest Bollywood actresses? Sunny Leone is a stunner with her beauty and her curvaceous figure. She does admit that she has to work hard to maintain herself as she is a Punjabi and finds it hard to give up food.

    Diet- Sunny eats when hungry, and eats just enough to quell that hunger. She abstains from processed foods and junk foods like pizzas and burgers. She also drinks a lot of water throughout the day to flush the toxins out of her system. She snacks on fruits and nuts and includes a lot of natural protein sources in her diet. Apart from that, she loves antioxidant-rich foods to keep her skin glowing and metabolism going. She also derives her nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables. According to her, eating clean with proper hydration is the key to fitness, not starvation.
    Workout- Sunny practices 30 minutes of yoga every day for flexibility and increased concentration. Apart from that, she loves going to the gym and frequents it 3-4 times a week. Her gym workouts are a mix of HIIT and strength training, and she also likes to do pilates and boxing at other times.

Now that you know what these actresses do to look the way they look, pull up your socks and get started on your way to becoming as hot and glamorous as these Bollywood divas!

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

0

Now that Diwali is gone, I’m pretty sure a lot of you must be feeling sluggish and bloated from all the sweets and fried food you consumed in the festivities. The guilt of eating those decadent laddoos and the delicious kachoris is now tormenting you in the form of weight gain and an upset stomach. I know you’re afraid of stepping on the scale and probably Googling away prices of detox teas and weight loss smoothie recipes. So here I have curated the perfect detox food list for you that’s easy to access, that’s within your budget and will, in no time, help you come back on track to your healthy lifestyle.

1. Don’t feel guilty

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

Look, you only live once. So don’t get depressed because you ate more than you do or indulged in something unhealthy. We are all human and we are allowed to make mistakes. However, it’s important that once you’ve realized your mistake, you make efforts to amend it. That won’t happen if you are sad about getting off track and you feel like just giving up on your entire “stay healthy stay fit” propaganda. That’s not the way to go! It’s never too late to get back on track. Forgive yourself, think about how much you enjoyed all the indulgence, and now that you’ve had your fun, get back on your routine with renewed energy (from all those carbs!)

  1. Avoid alcohol and processed foods

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

The last thing you want to do post your Diwali binge is to reach for those sweets and those tequilas again thinking “What harm can one more of these do when I’ve already had so many this week?” It doesn’t take time for one to turn into two, and then three, four and more. Stay firm and be a little more strict. Say no to processed foods (which also include pasta, breads, and cereal) and stick to a clean, wholesome diet of fruits, vegetables and lean meats to get your body back on track.

  1. Load up on fiber and protein

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

You may think that following a Diwali binge, you may not want to eat anything because you’ve stuffed so much. The reality, however, is something very different. The day after a binge, you wake up even more ravenous than usual, craving the very foods that your body doesn’t want. Here’s the thing- when you eat a lot of fatty and sugary foods, your insulin levels spike up like the rate of US dollar, which causes you to feel hungry and have cravings. Fill up on protein-rich foods and fiber, as these provide you the highest level of satiety, regulate your insulin levels, make you eat less, are good for your digestive system and also help do away with your Diwali belly.

  1. Drink your water

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

All the festival foods that you binged on are loaded with fat, sugar and tons of sodium. All these things cause your body to retain their water, which makes you bloated and is responsible for weight gain. Water may be tasteless and odorless and nutrition-less, but it’s extremely important for the normal functioning of your body processes. So make sure to drink at least 2-3 liters of water every day to flush out all the toxins from your system, keep your body hydrated and lose all that water weight from your belly and your body.

  1. Sweat it out

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

Exercising is one of the best ways to feel lighter and fresher after a week of bingeing on festival foods. You can do include any form of exercise in your daily routine- cardio, HIIT, weight training– all the exercises have their own benefits. Exercising rids your body of toxins in the form of sweat, and it helps the release of the hormone serotonin, which lessens your stress levels. Also, all the calories burnt with exercising help you stay slim and fit. Win-win, isn’t it?

  1. Eat your greens

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

Green leafy vegetables (the darker the better) are great to help your post-Diwali bloat shoo away. They are rich in antioxidants like folate and lutein and have tons of essential vitamins and minerals to get your body’s digestive system back on track. The fiber from these vegetables helps regulate your bowel movements and the water content in these vegetables keeps your body hydrated and rids it of toxins. So now that your fridge is emptied of sweets and samosas, fill the empty space with fresh green vegetables and start detoxing!

  1. Drink some hot tea

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

Herbal teas like green tea, chamomile tea, peppermint tea, etc. calm your digestive system and are also a great way to hydrate if you’re bored of plain water. These teas, especially green tea, are loaded with antioxidants and their soothing warmth combined with the antioxidant punch just cleanses your system and gets you ready to go back to your healthy lifestyle. In fact, green tea has caffeine and catechins, which spike your body’s metabolism and help you lose some weight too. Another win-win for you!

  1. Spice it up

Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

Include spices like ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and cayenne pepper in your diet that are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances that help you get rid of all the inflammation caused by those succulent sweets and savory curries. You can use these spices in the foods you cook, or mix them up in a detox tea. One easy detox tea recipe is- take half a lemon,  1/4th of a teaspoon of turmeric, and a small 1-inch piece of ginger, and boil it all in a cup of water. Voila, instant refreshing Diwali detox tea is ready! (Note: you can add other anti-inflammatory spices to the above recipe, and some honey to make it taste better and add some minerals and fiber to it).

  1. Don’t skip meals

 Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

Contrary to what you may want to do post a binge, do NOT skip meals to make up for eating more than usual. It will only make you hungrier and then binge even more. Eat clean and eat enough to nourish your body and give you the energy to keep up with the post-Diwali house cleaning.

  1. Catch up on sleep

    Top 10 Diwali Detox Diet Tips

    Sleep is extremely important for your body to recover, de-stress and function properly. It resets the hormones and helps your body break down the carbs and fats from the binge faster and help your body rejuvenate and reduce stress levels, which in turn will help you lose all that weight and all that belly bloat. So make sure you’re getting a minimum of 7 hours of good quality sleep. Adjust your busy schedule to ensure that you get much sleep every day without fail.


You don’t have to burn a hole in your wallet to lose that weight or get rid of your bloat. You don’t have to beat yourself up for indulging in unhealthy foods or eating too much. Forgive yourself and treat yourself to some health, and your body will also forgive you.

10 Signs which shows that he is not the one for you

0

A relationship is a bond which is solely based on trust and the love you get from your partner. It does not depend on how much time you give your partner or how much you are actually spending on them. It all goes down to the love and the emotional bond you both have between each other which makes you so special for each other.

Now imagine being in a relationship where there is verbal abuse, your partner ignoring you for a long time or even excluding you from the decisions they make for each other. Is staying in that relationship a right thing to do? My advice is to get out of that toxic relationship as fast as you can. It is better to be alone than staying in the same room with an abusive partner who never trusts you. Being aware of the effects of a dysfunctional relationship is a long-term effect. It produces a counter on your own life and as well as hampers your other relationships as well. 

A bad relationship is a one where you don’t find happiness while staying with that person. He might be using you just to get his ways or that he is lonely and doesn’t want to lose you. You are like a sticker he is putting on his head which will eventually wear down and no one will ever notice. A healthy relationship is built on utmost respect for each other and a proper admiration and trust. Toxic relationships can prevent you from being happy and have an own personal life for yourself. There is a number of couples who have reported to be in a toxic relationship which has completely destroyed themselves.

To exclude any guy who will try to demean you, here are the 10 signs you can look out for once you get into a relationship. These signs also show that he is not the one you are hoping him to be.

1. He stresses you out a lot and never gives you a chance to clarify

Sad Girl, Red Rose, Lonely, Depressive, Bench, Sitting

Now imagine being in a relationship and being completely stressed about that. This is a funny thing since relationships are meant to bring the best out of someone. If you are with a guy who is always stressing you out then is it really worth all your efforts? According to studies it has been proven that girls who tend to stress a lot around their partners are more likely to build a low self-esteem for themselves.

Be in a relationship which is fun and loving. Be with a guy who brings out the best in you and completely relieves you from your day’s stress. If you are with someone with whom you are measuring all your words and choosing them correctly as in how to speak, then you are probably in a very bad relationship.

2. You want him to change for his habits

Romantic, Hug, Togetherness, Embrace, Connectedness

If you are finding yourself to like him forcefully then he is definitely not the one for you. If you love someone then you accept them for who they are. For example, if a guy loves you then he will definitely accept your frizzy haircut or the small pimples you have on your face. It all depends on how we look at each other.

This is applicable to both the girl and the boy. If anyone wants their partner to change habits or their way of speaking to others or whatever, then that person is really not the one.

3. He blames you for everything you do and everything you don’t

April Fools, Love, Relationship, Cupid, Prank, Irony

The classic blame game which goes around a couple can destroy even the strongest of bonds. If he is constantly blaming you for the things you haven’t even done then why are you still with him? You need to rethink your life choices once he starts behaving like an ill-mannered authority.

You are your own boss and the things you rely on makes your identity. If he is constantly putting the blame on you then he will never trust you even with the smallest of things around. Be it a guy-friend or just a normal co-worker, he will pinpoint on every human being you roam and talk to. 

4. He tries to rush things into the relationship and tries to hurry a lot

Couple, Together, Holding Hands, People, Love, Romantic

When a guy comes at you, all hot and heavy for attention than he may be just there for the physical love and not the emotional bond that you want. If you see a guy rushing things in your relationship then stop him and clearly say him no. See if his expression changes and he frowns or not.

The natural process of a relationship depends on both the partner’s consent towards rushing things. Sure the beginning of any relationship is fun and filled with adventures but what happens at the middle is nothing you really need to expect. Remember, it is okay to slow things down if you two are into each other. Otherwise just dump him!

5. He never hears your opinions or respects your matters and choices

To put things forward into a constructive relationship, it is important for your partner to hear and accept your views as well. If he is constantly ignoring your ideas and your gestures then he is doing it all wrong. According to relationship specialists, it has been proven that guys who have more ego and self-actualization issues are likely to build an alpha male persona around their female counterparts.

Firstly, he will never listen or appreciate your effort you put into the relationship. Secondly, he will just do things which he finds is correct for you both. If you point out these two things in your relationship then it is high time that you should end it.

6. He never shares things

Couple, Love, Sunset, Romance, Woman, People, Happy

It is okay to keep a personal space between both of you but being extra hidey is not appreciable in any form and nature. If you are interested in a man then you should make efforts to know him and understand what he likes and loves. But if he plays the game of taking away all your choices and never giving you the benefit of doubt then it’s a tough nut to crack.

Many times people are hidey due to their past experiences and how they will often react to certain things. If he is in a relationship with you then there is mutual love and respect for each other so there is absolutely no reason to hide facts and information about himself.

7. He undermines your worth

Worried Girl, Woman, Waiting, Sitting, Thinking, Worry

Usually, there are two signs through which he can treat you like a crap in your relationship.

  1. He values his own choices.
  2. He never values you and your love.

If he is a completely lazy guy and doesn’t even value himself then you are wasting your precious time with him. And if he values himself but never sees your worth then it is time to leave for his own sake.

8. You are always trying to do things for him

Girl, Teen, Café, Smartphone, Sorrow, Sadness, Tosca

If your man is a sloth and just lying at your couch all day then ladies, leave him immediately. Because this parasite will haunt you for the rest of lives. If your man is not making any effort to keep you happy in your relationship then your man doesn’t know how to respect a woman.

You may love him and you are always bringing random gifts from work and even kissing him goodnight kisses then you are just the one who is putting all the effort into your futile relationship. This is also a way of him telling you that you are nothing more than a rag doll for him who just keeps him away when he is in need of love and attention.

9. He hasn’t informed his friends about you yet

People, Girls, Women, Students, Friends, Talking

This is a classic pointer to check if you are in a bad relationship or not. If he hasn’t told his friends about you yet then you are likely to be ghosted within a few days or so. You always know that the best way to win a man’s heart is through knowing his friends and bonding with them. Plus, if your friends don’t like him as well then he is definitely not the one!

10. You often cry for him

Now when you were small, you were told that a princess never sheds tears for a man but here you are, crying for a man who has never loved you. Don’t ever cry for a futile man who will never care for the way you are. If you are seeing yourself practically shedding tears for each and everything he does and makes you do then just leave this relationship and start being happy for your own.

If your gut knows that he is not the one then you should definitely believe your gut and go for it. Sometimes what he really feel is what is really there.

How To Find The Right Career Path For You

0

It doesn’t matter whether you are a student or a working adult, this one question always comes to your mind, “What is the right career path for me?” When you are in school, you don’t know what you want to make a career in as an adult. When you actually are working, you’re still not sure if this is what you want to do your entire life.

If you already have the answer to this question, then you probably don’t need this article, and you’re the object of envy of 90% of the people out there, the ones who are paying the closest attention right now.

Not everyone is lucky enough to hit the jackpot when it comes to finding what you love best and excel in. Most people just go through the necessary motions- go to school, choose a random field for their majors in college, then do a 9 am-to-5 pm corporate job and earn some money. The highest amount of satisfaction in these people’s lives is when they get an unexpected promotion at the office.

Everyone in this world (except terrorists) has the right to do what they want to, and be happy in their life. You don’t have to be stuck doing a job you don’t like just because you need money. I mean, everyone needs money, but you don’t have to be unhappy earning that money. You don’t want to have any “I wish I had”s to say on your deathbed, do you? After all, in Kahlil Gibran’s words, “To be able to look back upon one’s life in satisfaction, is to live twice”.

I have compiled a list of tips to help you figure out what the correct career path for you is. Follow them, and hopefully, you will become one of those 10 % people, who do not need this article:

 1. Participate and engage

How To Find The Right Career Path For You

Stop being lazy, and take part in lots of extracurricular activities. If you are a student, join all the clubs in your school or college that interest you, and engage in a lot of activities. If you are a working adult, then you may not have as much freedom as a student, but you can always join clubs or classes that are held over the weekend, or maybe take up an online course. There are so many things you can do- dancing, martial arts, coding, graphic designing, writing, photography. Make good use of your free time and engage in myriad activities to find the one you are truly passionate about.

2. Think about your most unwavering interests

How To Find The Right Career Path For You

When we grow up, we don’t just grow up physically, but also mentally and emotionally. In the course of our lifetime, we accumulate a long list of interests, some that were short-lived, and some that have stood the test of time. The latter ones are the interests we are talking about here. Think about a hobby that has always stuck with you no matter how many habits and interests you may have acquired. Think of something that has always brought you pleasure, something that you really, truly like. It could be as simple a thing as cooking or photography. Think, and think hard. If you are having trouble thinking of something like that, then here’s a tip- take a pen and paper and jot down all the things that you have done in your free time ever since you were born. Now from that list, highlight five things that you have done the most frequently. List the five things down, and ponder upon them. The answer lies in that list of five.

3. Think about what you want your life to look like

How To Find The Right Career Path For YouThink about where you want to see yourself in 10 years and jot it down on a new paper. No, do not think in terms of where you will be working or in what field, because that’s the question you are seeking the answer to. Think in terms of your lifestyle, the kind of home you want to live in, the kind of life you want, the kind of people you want to be around and so on. Make a note of all those things. Now think of your list of five and think of which out of these can help you achieve the life you want. If one of the options fit, then explore it further. If none of them do, then browse the bigger list of hobbies that you discarded again.

4. Consult a lot of people

How To Find The Right Career Path For You

Yes, consult as many people as you can. Go to career fairs, talk to people you respect and like, talk to your friends and get lots of second, third, fourth (and so on) opinions. The more you talk and interact with people, the more insight and knowledge you will get about the career you want to pursue, and about other careers that you can consider. Go with your 5 option list and make sure you cover every option on it. Don’t just talk to the people you know. Use platforms like LinkedIn and Tumblr to get in touch with people who are currently working in the fields of your interest and talk to them. Don’t just talk to them, grill them about everything- the pros and cons, the related careers, workload, growth rate; everything you can think of. Don’t be shy of asking lots of questions, people will be more than happy to help you and even pleased with your enthusiasm and your genuine curiosity.

5. Don’t freak out

How To Find The Right Career Path For You

Now, consultations and getting second opinions is all fine, but you can get quite overwhelmed and you may just want to give up the whole idea and go with the flow. So keep a broad mind and respect everyone’s opinions, but only pay heed to the ones that suit your requirements. Every career path has its pros and cons and many a time the cons will scare you into striking that path off your list. DON’T DO THAT. Instead, think whether you will be able to cope with it, and how those cons are better than the disadvantages of your current field. Another pro tip to deal with it- when you feel overwhelmed, take out the two papers you wrote on and consult them both. Look at the five options, look at where you see yourself in 10 years, and then think about all the advice and opinions you’ve been given.  Trust me, you’ll find it easier to reach a decision.

6. Practice makes perfect

 How To Find The Right Career Path For You

Now that you have a rough idea of what you want to do, you’re ready to go to the next level. No, we aren’t done yet. Just because you’ve figured out what your piece of cake is doesn’t mean you can start eating it just yet. We are gonna do some more inspection first. What I mean is, you need to actually hone your skills a little more, and with a little more dedication towards the work. For example, if you love yoga and you have decided that you want to be a yoga instructor, try volunteering to be an assistant instructor in some yoga class, or maybe do a little side business and organise a free yoga workshop of your own in your school or home. Then see if you actually are capable of doing the job and if you like it. While doing it, think, “Can I do this for the rest of my life without getting bored?” If you hesitate, then repeat the exercise with the same job a few more times till you can say a definite yes or no. Similarly, if you want to be a coder, make a few projects without assistance and then see what it feels like. If you feel satisfied, this is your cup of tea, if you aren’t, re-evaluate.

7. Don’t make hasty decisions

Whatever you intend to do, think it through as many times as you can, from all angles and perspectives. Your own perspectives that is. Do NOT be hasty; you can’t afford to take risks with your own life. If you are a student, don’t suddenly drop out of college or something rash like that. If you’re a working adult, don’t quit your job just yet. Plan everything step by step so that you can transition smoothly from what you are doing to what you want to do. Remember the 3 Ps- Patience, Perseverance and Persistence. These three words will help you through every dilemma and every obstacle. Just hang on to these and you shall never be stuck.

Remember, no career is actually good or bad. It all depends on how you look at it. However, for you to excel, it is very important that you are happy doing whatever it is that you are doing or aspire to do. Today there are a hundred odd jobs out there that you can do if all you want is to earn money. But happiness is extremely important. This realisation doesn’t come soon enough, but when you’ve been doing the same job for a few years and you’re never really satisfied, you will remember how you had the chance to do something you would’ve been happy doing, and you also had the perfect article to help you do so, but you didn’t.

Your career is as big a part of your life as your family and friends. So don’t neglect it or overlook it, do what it takes to make your life the way you want it to be.

Being in a long distance relationship is tough and most of them end in heartbreaks because it’s just easier to give up. Loving from afar sounds like a very romantic concept, but the truth is far from romantic.
Man, in general, is a very shallow creature. Man craves love and attention, and man craves to be shown that love, to feel cared for. If you’ve ever been in love, then you know how important intimacy is, both physical and emotional. Spending time, talking to your partner about everything in your life, making silly memories, public displays of affection, private displays of affection; all these things constitute a major part of your relationship.
Having a huge geographic distance between you and your partner makes life really difficult for both of you. You don’t know what to do with your time anymore, because you used to spend most of your time with your partner in the past. You miss them, you feel lonely. You see other couples and you envy how they can be together while you’re so far away from them. And there’s only so much you can do over the phone, especially if you have different work schedules or you live in different time zones.
However, your love for your partner should be a motivation for you to hang on, and here are a few tips to help you survive, and even strengthen, your long distance relationship-

COMMUNICATION

9 Ways To Strengthen Your Long Distance Relationship

Effective communication in a long distance relationship is paramount. This is the only thing currently that you can do with your partner in the relationship, so make sure you do it well. Be familiar with your partner’s schedule and keep some time aside to talk to them when both of you are free. Send them cute messages throughout the day even when you’re busy to let them know that they’re on your mind. Use different media of communication to keep things interesting- call them, use Skype and Snapchat, send them memes on Instagram or send them handwritten love letters once a month.

RESOLVE YOUR ISSUES ASSERTIVELY

Arguments and misunderstandings are an inescapable and inevitable part of any relationship, but it becomes worse if you are away from your significant other. It is important to ensure that you don’t leave your issues unresolved. If they have done something that bothered you, even if it’s a small thing, make sure to let them know right on the spot in a calm, controlled manner. Clear out all your misunderstandings, and don’t let any loose threads hanging. Small things pile up and can make your relationship toxic. Avoid a big argument by resolving every small issue between the two of you. This will prevent things from becoming ugly and unresolvable in the future, and also make sure your partner knows exactly what you expect out of them and out of the relationship.

LEARN HOW TO LIVE APART

One of the worst changes that come with distance is that you don’t know what to do without them. It’s important to learn how to have a life without them, and how to be happy and busy even when they’re not there. Spend time with family and friends, find some new interests to pursue, meet new people, visit new places. Use this distance as an opportunity to discover yourself, and then tell your partner about all that you did. Don’t mope around feeling sad and lonely all the time. This will not just make you unhappy, but may also sour things up between you and your partner, especially if you see that they can be happy without you.

STOP BEING INSECURE 

9 Ways To Strengthen Your Long Distance Relationship

Insecurity is a bad thing in general and this advice applies to all relationships, not just LDRs. But it becomes even harder to let your insecurities go in long distance relationships because you can actually be near your partner to verify their fidelity. Trust is extremely important in your relationship. You need to realize that your partner is your partner because you’re the one they love and you’re the one they want to be with of their own free will. However, they are allowed to have a life that does not include you and have friends of their own. If you can stop being insecure about them not giving you 100% of their time or them hanging out with friends of the other gender, you will not only save yourself a headache, but you will also cut down the number of arguments you have with your partner.

AVOID DANGEROUS SITUATIONS 

Look, you are alone, and you WILL get distracted every once in a while, even if you’re head over heels in love. Don’t feel guilty if you do, it’s just human nature. But you need to remember that you have to be accountable not just to yourself but also to your partner. So don’t go ahead and do something you know your partner isn’t comfortable with. If you know he’s not comfortable with you hanging out with a certain guy till late at night, don’t do it because he’s not there. There’s a reason for his concern so you should respect that, or if you really have to do something like this make sure he knows about it so that he can be reassured and you can avoid any unwanted temptation. Same goes for the men too!

MAKE EFFORTS TO GROW TOGETHER 

9 Ways To Strengthen Your Long Distance Relationship

When you are together, both of you grow as two people together, but when you live apart, you tend to grow as a person individually. When this happens, an emotional rift starts slowly building between the two of you. Many a time this rift is the reason why many people in long distance relationships break up. So make sure that both of you make efforts to grow together. But how to go about it? It’s pretty simple. Just maintain good communication with your partner. Share with them all that you did throughout the day, share with them all the new things that you tried. Try out something that they like and see if you like it too. For example, maybe there’s a new Tabata class that your partner is crazy about. Look for a Tabata class in your locality and give it a try. If you like it then you’ll have a new topic to talk about with your partner. If you don’t, well, don’t slander your partner about his tastes. Everyone is different!

SEND THEM TOKENS OF YOUR LOVE 

9 Ways To Strengthen Your Long Distance Relationship

Sending gifts is a great way to show them how much you love them. You don’t have to give them anything too extravagant or expensive, (although if you want to and can afford it then kudos to you!) If you are good at art, use your creativity to make DIY gifts for your partner and endear them with your ingenuity and your effort. You can also send them handwritten love letters, greeting cards, chocolates, bouquets; just about anything that will let them know you’re on their mind. The more personal the gift is, the better. But if I’m being honest, they will appreciate just about anything that you give them, because it will be made precious with your love.

VISIT THEM AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN 

9 Ways To Strengthen Your Long Distance Relationship

Nothing can compare to being together with your partner physically. So make plans to visit them as often as practically possible. If the distance is long, share the travel expenses amongst yourselves so that it isn’t a burden for you. After all, your visit is as important for them as it is for you. Plan your visit ahead of time so that it doesn’t inconvenience anyone, and book your tickets in advance. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and you shall see this in action when you visit your partner after a long separation. When you meet after a very long time, both of you will ensure that you make every moment together as special as it can get. Reunions like these don’t just give you something to look forward to, but also motivates you to hang on and not give up.

CHALK OUT YOUR FUTURE 

If your status is going to be “in a long distance relationship” for a long time, you need to sit down with your partner and talk. Talk about your future, what you want out of life, what they want out of life, your aspirations, their aspirations; everything. This is a very important step you need to take if you want to ensure that your relationship survives. Talk to your partner about where you want to take the relationship and make sure that they’re on the same page as you are. Maybe you are ready for marriage but they aren’t or they’re ready but you aren’t. Maybe both your future aspirations require you to relocate even further. All these things need to be talked about so that together both of you can chalk out a game plan to keep your relationship thriving and try to make compromises so that the two of you can be together.

Long distance relationships are hard, but when was ever loving another person easy? And honestly, a love story is never fun if there are no hardships in it. The secret is to face those hurdles instead of shunning away from them and giving your best efforts so that when the two of you marry and make beautiful kids, you can make them proud of you.
