{Many people are aware of the regular tips that increase wrinkles and make you age quicker — such as smoking cigarettes, exposing your skin to the sun, not eating right and not having enough rest. If you know and practice these tips, you’re right. But do you that there are some habits you are probably fond of and you’re unaware that it could make you look older?}

I’d share some of those habits with:

{{1. HOLDING GRUDGES}}

Forgiveness is very hard for many people, and a lot of people tend to hold grudges and harbour things that people have done to them in the past without letting go. Do you know that this could make you age quicker?

Holding grudges add stress to your life, and boosts the stress hormone, cortisol which could even lead to high blood pressure and high blood sugar.

A study done in 2005 published in the Journal of Behavioural Medicine found a link between forgiveness and reduction in stress.

You tend to harbour more stress when you hold a grudge.

{{2. HIGH SUGAR INTAKE}}

This is no joke; an increase in sugar intake can also spike your aging process, and various researches have shown that.

A 2014 study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that drinking sugary drinks may speed up your body’s aging process. A 2009 study published in PLoS Genetics found a connection between a rise in age-related diseases and overconsumption of sugar.

{{3. CERTAIN FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WHILE LIFTING WEIGHTS}}

Exercising might be a good habit, but then, certain facial expressions like squinting and groaning can strain your facial muscles.

Straining your facial muscles and some awkward expressions on your face can cause wrinkles in the long run.

{{4. NOT MANAGING STRESSFUL SITUATIONS WELL}}

Stress will never go away completely, but how you manage it will go a long way in making you look healthier. Stress increases the concentration of the hormones cortisol and norepinephrine in the bloodstream, which will increase blood blood pressure, weaken your immune system and shrink certain cognitive functions. This wouldn’t only make you look older, but would also make you feel older.

{{5. YOU DON’T EAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES DAILY
}}

By now you probably know the importance of eating fruits and vegetables, but then do you eat them often? They have powerful antioxidants that will fight free radicals that could harm your body and skin, and a lack of these antioxidants creates room for free radicals to wreak havoc on your skin.

6. YOU DON’T MAKE TIME FOR SEX

A lot of married couples starve themselves of sex and don’t know the importance of sex. A particular study found that sex could make you look up to 12 years younger, and this is no joke. Research has shown that people with active sex lives have stronger immune systems and live a happier life.

{{7. RUBBING YOUR EYES}}

Rubbing your eyes is a normal practice for many, but it isn’t all that healthy. Rubbing your eyes aggressively can cause trauma to the under eye area and stress that area of the skin, making it to look darker and less youthful.

Have you been found wanting in any of these habits? The time for a change is now.

{Trust isn’t given on a platter; no one can trust you except you are deemed trustworthy.}

There are some habits you show that will make people to trust you, and there are some habits that will make people not to have trust in you.

If you want people to trust you, then these habits should be part of you:

{{1. Transparency }}

Transparency is about being open, having nothing to hide, not withholding information and telling the truth. When you are transparent, you make it easy for people to trust you.

{{2. Be a person of your words }}

Unfulfilled promises make it hard for people to trust you. Be a person of your words; when you say something, try as much as possible to keep to your words. People will trust you when you are a person of your words.

{{3. Be original }}

Be your real self; don’t try to copy any one else. When you are who you are, you make it easy for people to trust compared to when you try to be someone else.

{{4. Take responsibilities for your actions }}

Don’t try to justify your mistakes or pour blames on someone else when you are the one at fault. Be the kind of person who takes responsibility for their actions. You become reliable in the eyes of people when you have this habit.

{{5. Be ready to apologize }}

We are humans, and we could make mistakes; we could misinterpret certain actions and take wrong decisions. When you are found in such a dilemma, just apologise for any wrong done. Be the kind of person who apologises when wrong. Apologies are simple yet hard to give; people who apologise sincerely for a mistake are easily trusted than those who fail to apologise.

{{6. Learn }}

Learn how to talk to people, learn from every mistake made and learn how to deal with people since we are all different. Make an effort to treat people better, and they will learn to trust you.

{{7. Demonstrate behaviors that show you care }}

People want you to care about them and not just yourself, people want you to show an interest in what they are going through. Practice empathy, learn to put yourself in people’s shoes, try to show that you actually care, and you wouldn’t only earn the person’s trust, you’ll also win their hearts.

Trust is earned, and when you have these habits, people will learn to trust you.Trust is needed in your relationship, business, workplace and your dealings with people, and this is how you can inspire trust.

{{2. Your partner rarely calls }}

It’s time to fix your relationship to avoid it from crashing if you notice your partner’s communication habits have changed. If you notice your partner rarely calls, it’s important you have a conversation with your partner to find out why. It’s wrong to assume everything would fix itself.

{{3. Sex has become boring
}}

It’s time to fix your relationship and avoid it from crashing if you notice sex in your relationship has become boring. It’s important you try talking about this with your partner. Bringing new routines to the bedroom might help spice things up in the bedroom.

If you and your partner argue and quarrel over irrelevant things more these days, it’s time to fix your relationship to avoid it from crashing.

{A happy wife is a happy home; when the woman is happy, it means she’s satisfied with the marriage and she’s happy with her husband. But then, there are certain external things that could make your wife unhappy, but a caring husband ought to try to put a smile on his wife’s face even when he did nothing wrong to her.}

A lot of men tend to leave their wife in her unhappy state, and feel if they didn’t do anything wrong to make her unhappy, then they shouldn’t worry too much about making her happy. Well, such a mentality is flawed, and a man ought to be his wife’s biggest supporter at all times.

These are some of the best things you can say to her when she’s unhappy.

{{1. “I’m here for you .”}}

Telling her that you are there for her is one of the biggest supports you can give to her. This will make her feel loved and cared for, and she’ll understand that she has a shoulder she can lean on, no matter what.

{{2. “I’m glad you told me.”}}

This will take away the feelings of insecurities she has. Sometimes, wives don’t tell their husbands things because they don’t know how he will respond to it, and the last thing they might need at that point is a negative response. Giving her this response will make her feel secure.

{{3. “We are in this together.”}}

“We are in this together” shows solidarity and unity; it’s probably the biggest show of support you can give her. It shows you wouldn’t give up on her no matter what, and it will go a long way to cheer her up.

{{4. “Is there anything I can do to help?”}}

Showing her this measure of support clearly shows how understanding you her and how much you want to be by her side even during her worse moments. Doing anything for her will go a long way to change how she feels at the time.

{{5. “I love you.”}}

Reaffirming your love for her when she’s feeling down and depressed could be all the strength she needs at that time. Loving her at her weakest point could be the best thing you could do for her.

Being there for your wife when she’s unhappy and trying to make her feel better, even when you didn’t do anything wrong to her shows how far you have come as a man and husband.

1. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t take you seriously. It’s wrong to stick around because you think you can convince someone to see your worth.

2. If you don’t feel comfortable being in a relationship, please walk away. If something inside of you tells you that you are in the wrong relationship, listen to it.
