TIPS AND TRICKS
WANT A HAPPIER RELATIONSHIP? CULTIVATE A HEALTHY PASSION
THAT IDEA OF STARRY-EYED LOVERS WHO ARE FOREVER ON EACH OTHER’S MINDS AND OBSESS
OVER EACH OTHER DAILY? TOTAL B.S. YOU KNOW THIS, BUT IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER.
BECAUSE, AS SUSAN PILEGGI, AUTHOR OF HAPPY TOGETHER: USING THE SCIENCE OF
POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY TO BUILD LOVE THAT LASTS, POINTS OUT, THIS THINKING CAN GIVE
RISE TO THE IDEA THAT OBSESSIVE PASSION IS A HEALTHY THING.
“IN THE BEGINNING OF A RELATIONSHIP, YOU CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR PARTNER,
YOU MIGHT BE DISTRACTED AT WORK, YOU MIGHT CANCEL PLANS WITH FRIENDS TO SEE YOUR
GIRLFRIEND OR FUTURE SPOUSE,” SHE EXPLAINS. “BUT IF THAT CONTINUES MONTHS OR
YEARS INTO THE RELATIONSHIP AND YOU’RE NOT SEEING YOUR FRIENDS ANYMORE, YOU’RE
NOT ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES THAT YOU DID BEFORE THE RELATIONSHIP, AND YOU CAN’T
FOCUS ON ANYTHING ELSE, THAT COULD BE MORE OF AN OBSESSIVE PASSION.”
TO CULTIVATE A HEALTHY PASSION, PILEGGI POINTS OUT AN OBVIOUS BUT SOMETIMES
HARD-TO-ACHIEVE SOLUTION: MAKE ROOM IN YOUR MIND FOR YOUR OTHER INTERESTS AND
OTHER PEOPLE. THEN, WHEN YOU ARE WITH YOUR PARTNER, FIND WAYS TO CONNECT OVER
THINGS THAT YOU BOTH ENJOY. “IT’S ABOUT FORGING A DEEPER BOND, NOT TRYING TO BE
COMPETITIVE,” PILEGGI SAYS. IN OTHER WORDS: DON’T CHOOSE SOMETHING THAT YOU
REALLY LIKE AND ENJOY AND YOUR PARTNER HAS NO INTEREST IN. “THE IDEA,” SAYS
PILEGGI, “IS TO CONNECT, NOT TO COMPETE.”

TIPS AND TRICKS
INFANT SLEEP TROUBLE? CONSIDER THESE THREE TIPS
BLOCK OUT ALL LIGHT.
BLACKOUT CURTAINS ARE ESSENTIAL BABY SLEEP GEAR. BUT BEFORE YOU SET THEM UP AND
CALL IT A DAY, GO INTO THE ROOM, TURN OUT THE LIGHTS, AND STAND THERE AND LOOK
FOR MORE LIGHT LEAKAGE. POWER STRIPS GLOWING? HUMIDIFIER BLASTING OUT BLUE
LIGHT? COVER IT UP WITH ELECTRIC TAPE. IS IT A LITTLE PARANOID? YES, BUT THIS IS
SLEEP WE’RE TALKING ABOUT.
BE MORE BORING.
BABIES THRIVE ON ROUTINE. SO COME UP WITH ONE, ESPECIALLY AROUND SLEEP AND NAPS,
AND STICK TO IT. WILL YOUR LIFE BE A LITTLE MORE PREDICTABLE AND BORING? YES.
BUT IT WILL ALSO BE HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER FOR IT.
CHECK THE ROOM TEMP.
YOU’LL BE TEMPTED TO CRANK UP THE HEAT AND GET YOUR INFANT ALL WARM AND CUDDLY.
AVOID THIS TEMPTATION. A NURSERY SHOULD BE AROUND 68 DEGREES. ANY MORE AND YOUR
BABY CAN OVERHEAT.
HERE ARE SOME MORE SLEEP TIPS TO REMEMBER.
