Throw rugs, long cords, and old unused furniture all pose a huge risk. Make the house as open as possible. Walking up stairs puts a lot of stress on older bodies. They have to use all of their strength just to go up a flight of stairs. There is also a major injury risk if they fall while using the stairs.
Avoid all of these dangers by adding a stair lift in the house. Stair lifts will safely go up and down the stairs whenever needed with absolutely no risk of injury. The slippery surfaces in the bathroom make it one of the most dangerous rooms in the house for your older parents. There are several changes you need to make to ensure they stay safe.
Put rubber mats inside and outside of the tub to prevent slipping. Add grab bars in the shower and next to the toilet. It is also a good idea to lower the temperature on the water heater to stop accidental burns in the shower. The best thing you can do to make sure your aging parents are safe in their home is by making regular visits to see them.
In addition to spending valuable time with your family, you will also be able to access the house and your parent's well-being during these trips. Make sure some of your visits are unannounced to get a true sense of how they are living. Your parents took care of you your entire life, so it is now time to repay the favor.
Making these changes to the house will let your parents have independent lives in their own home for as long as possible. His music is a unique mixture of chill rap, alt-pop, and bedroom pop. On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media.
He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality. Overall, he's definitely an artist to have on your radar. It's insane to me that he only has about 2,00 monthly listeners on Spotify. He has a sound that would really thrive in today's music scene and I think he is extremely underrated. Definitely give them a listen! His lyrics and flow are so smooth and sounds like he's already an established artist. He could easily compete with rappers today.
While his music discusses girls and drugs, he also uses his platform to advocate for human rights movements like BLM. If you like rap, there is something for everyone with his work. This funky fresh group focuses on really catchy indie-pop songs. However, I definitely think they are on that track so I suggest you hop on the train now while they're still lesser-known. Their sound is really desirable so I can imagine it's only a matter of time before they blow up. This singer-songwriter is extremely talented.

No account? Create one. Advise within your limits Sometimes big problems are best left to the professionals. In those cases, you can still be an active listener and offer your empathy, but to help your friend find the support she is looking for you may have to nudge her in the right direction. If the problem is much larger than your friend feels she can address on her own, suggest a counsellor. Help create a plan for change After you've worked together to hatch out your friend's emotions and have discussed the possible options for change, it's time to put it all into a plan of action.
Make the plan as focused as possible. You don't have to be a fountain of wisdom to help your friend find the answers to a problem. Simply listen actively, ask caring questions and offer continuous encouragement. Did they offer some platitudes or cliche advice that sounded impossible to follow? When friends have problems that seem incurable and never-ending, you can sense that hopelessness.
And even if other people have much larger problems, we still dwell on our own because what matters, in that moment, is how we feel. Realizing this is key to delivering good advice. The best way to be a friend is to enable both what they want to do and what they need to do. Want: tell the story repeatedly, as if they can change how they feel if they just talk about it enough.
Need: work through it and let it go. You can likely still empathize on some level. You can still be an ear, take some time to think about it, and then share your thoughts later.
When someone comes to you for help, odds are they already feel pretty vulnerable. It can feel gratifying to figure out what seems like the answer and then deliver it in a sermon. Your friend could approach her boss exactly like you did for a raise and end up being demoted—at which point she might blame you. Keep expectations realistic by focusing on possibilities within the realm of uncertainty.
If you tell your sister to take a risk, make sure she knows it is a risk. When you make the proactive decision to find answers for yourself, you feel both empowered and confident in your ability to make the right decision.
You can help your friend feel that way by pointing him in the direction of a few books that will help him help himself. What can I do now? Get tips on being a good listener.
