Communication is Key

Posted by C.L. R.

If you are feeling like the world is on your shoulders and you can't pick up the phone and ask Paul McCartney to sing you a round of "Hey Jude," try dialing your parents instead. A study completed by Psychosomatic Medicine indicated that people that communicate with their parents about their intimate feelings are much healthier than those that don't. For those of you who already have that type of relationship with your parents, hats off! Talk more, dig deeper, skip out on that cold this year! For those of you who don't, start forging that relationship. It will take baby steps, but start with something simple to get the ball rolling. If your parents simply aren't that type of people, even though this study didn't show it, having a friend you can always confide in is always a mood booster.
