Q: What happened in those partnerships that may have made you uneasy about getting involved again? Looking at your past does not mean you assume all relationships are the same. They are not. But the one common denominator is you. You need to take a look at the behaviors that are not serving you or your personal growth. Fears can be tied to just about anything, and figuring out where yours lie will help to tell you what work needs to be done. If you have been cheated on in the past, you may be fearful of never being enough to keep a lover to yourself. Understanding this fear will help you see that you are enough and you do not deserve that level of disrespect. Abuse, either physical or emotional, may have been a part of your past relationships. This can be very scary and make the relationship not based on love but danger and fear for one's safety. Get professional help. You may even be fearful things are going to go too well and you will have to answer tough questions about things like having a family and a future that is not all about you. This can be very scary if you have settled into your single life. Some young people worry about getting involved in a committed relationship because it can be the ultimate sign of growing up. You want things to stay the same, not to change. You think avoiding a relationship allows you to maintain the innocence and carefree attitude of youth. This is a common and warranted fear, but you must aim to move past it. Yes, your relationships with friends and family members may change. This can happen whether you are in a romantic relationship or not. However, try not to see romantic relationships as automatically the most important. Relationships with family and friends can be very important too and sometimes deserve more priority than they are often given. Some people think they are incapable of loving others, so they refrain from entering one-sided relationships. For the most part, love is frequently unequal. Love also changes and evolves. You may see times where you feel like you love your partner way more than he or she does you, but then suddenly the situation flips as you question things. It is natural for relationships to change and grow. If you actually aren't able to feel anything romantic for anyone, that doesn't mean something is wrong with you, but you may be aromantic. This is different from being afraid of romantic relationships and it's a better idea to try to accept it than to try to fix it. A counselor may be able to help you in ways you cannot help yourself. He or she will also be experienced in helping to find old habits that need to be broken in order to improve your romantic relationships.
A: Take a look at recurring patterns in your past relationships. Try to uncover what your fears are. Don't worry about a straining your existing relationships. Defeat the idea that you cannot love. See a counselor to help you overcome trust or commitment issues.

Q: You should adjust your bedroom environment so that it gets nice and dark by, for instance, closing the curtains and turning off all the lights. You should also turn off computers, printers, stereo systems, video game consoles and any other electronic devices in the room. The buzz and light of electronic devices can disturb your ability to fall asleep. Go outside in the morning to get some light in your eyes. In the evening, turn down your lights and close your blinds to block out any artificial light. Experiencing light during the morning and daytime and darkness at night will help to reset your natural rhythm and improve sleep. If you live in a place without much light in the winter months, you could try a light box. Use the light box for thirty minutes every morning. You may want to experiment with white noise, especially if there is a lot of background noise in your house or neighborhood. White noise can cover up bothersome noises that would otherwise wake you up during the night. Try leaving a fan or a humidifier running during the night. If this doesn't work or is not appropriate for your situation, you could try a white noise machine specifically designed for sleep. White noise machines range in price from $20 $100. You can purchase white noise machines online or at home and beauty stores. Aromatherapy is an alternative medicine that uses scents from essential oils to treat various conditions. You breath in scents such as lavender, which impacts the system that regulates your mood and emotion. Put a few drops of an essential oil into a humidifier, your bath or an essential oil diffuser. Try one of the following oils that are good for sleep and relaxation: Lavender Lemon Bergamot Ylang Ylang Sage Jasmine
A:
Make the room dark, quiet and free of electronics. Explore light therapy. Use a white noise machine. Try aromatherapy.
