Signs You’re Being Used

Sometimes it is easy to spot the signs that someone is using you, but in other cases, this behavior may be much more subtle. While everyone’s circumstances are different, these are some signs that someone may be using you:

●The person asks you for money, favors, or other items. For instance, they may ask you to lend them money or pay their bills.
●The person imposes on you without consideration for your availability or preferences. For instance, they may move in with you unexpectedly or want to borrow your car at a moment’s notice.
●The person expects you to take care of their needs. For instance, if you go out for dinner with them, they may not offer to pay and simply expect you to pick up the tab.
●The person appears disinterested in you after their needs have been met. For instance, they may use you to meet their needs but may not want to spend time with you otherwise.
●The person is only affectionate or intimate with you when it’s convenient for them. For instance, they may be affectionate toward you until they get what they want.
●The person doesn’t make an effort to be there for you when you need them. For instance, even though they borrow your car regularly, they may not agree to give you a ride to the airport.

As we enter a season where depression and isolation is at a high, remember when a friend doesn’t call or respond to your messages, they may be dealing with something and don’t know how to reach out or don’t want to reach out. Don’t take it personal. Allow them to deal with their feelings and be there if they need support.

"I just can't communicate with myself, let alone any one else..."

WELLNESS TIPS GOING IN TO 2022

1. TAKE TIME FOR YOU

Life can get pretty fast paced. Whether you are busy trying to build a business or chase after a little one, you need to make sure you take time for you. After all, you can’t fill from an empty cup! Time for you could be doing something you love, like watching a favorite TV show, having a warm bath or a little pampering with wine or hot chocolate.

2. FIND AN ACTIVITY THAT YOU ENJOY

Studies have found that an average of 45 minutes of aerobic exercise at a moderate intensity 3 times a week has an overall antidepressant effect. With this in mind, a wellness goal could be to find an activity that you actually enjoy. It is all well and good when someone says “exercise makes you feel better” but if you hate spinning and the gym, you know you may not stick at it. So, try lots of different activities to see which one is best suited for you. Try activities like, roller skating swimming, classes, bootcamps, yoga, ice skating, climbing!

3. GET YOUR SUPPLEMENTS

Being low on certain vitamins and minerals can affect how you feel, from your mood to your energy level. Supplements are not designed to replace a healthy diet, however, they can give you those additional extras “boosts,” which you might not always be able to pick up from food, such as B12 and vitamin D.

Here are some of the supplements you can take:
• Magnesium
• Vitamin B1, B6, and B12
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D

4. SEE FRIENDS

At this time seeing friends has never felt more special. While we might not still be able to live how we were before 2020 and go inside houses and for brunch with our besties, you can still see them, you just have to get creative! Maybe you can meet outside for a walk, or a coffee in the park. Whether you’re allowed to see them inside or outside, or just on a screen, you can get some face time with your friends in 2022 as one of my wellness tips to myself for next year.

5. KEEP A DIARY

Writing down your thoughts every day can be very therapeutic. It can help you offload some of your troubles. It can also be a great way to inspire creativity, relieve stress and allow for self-reflection. Don’t worry about correct sentences, structure or how pretty your writing looks. Just write down exactly what’s on your mind in that moment, sometimes you don’t even have to keep it! In fact, sometimes throwing it away will allow you to get really honest with the diary as you can feel certain no one will read it.

6. MEDITATE

You don’t have to sit for a long time to meditate, just 5 minutes of meditation and deep breathing each day can be very beneficial to your mental health. A moment of stillness can help you to reduce stress, anxiety and depression and give you a new perspective. Meditation isn’t easy and certainly is a skill to practice! You can get started by using an app. For example, Calm, Insight Timer, Headspace: Meditation & Sleep, Ten Percent Happier Meditation, Buddhify, Unplug, and Simple Habit, to name a few..

7. GET SOME SHUT EYE

It is too tempting to watch that extra episode or fall deep into an Instagram or Tik Tok hole before bed. Set a bedtime for yourself and have an actual nighttime routine. Believe it or not, that crime drama before bed is actually going to wind you up)! You can try reading a few pages of a book, have a warm caffeine free drink and switch off. Being tired can affect your mood and food choices, not to mention skin! Your mind and body will thank you for this wellness tip! We have to look after ourselves as well as each other. Not only during these strange times but always.
