February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

5 Ways to Relieve Your Partner’s Stress and Make Her Feel Special


Fellas, sometimes you don't get it, but that is okay. We are here to help. Here's some ways that you can keep her happy and make her feel special. Read on.

We all respond to stress differently. Some become more productive. Some become more creative. But others become unraveled. If your partner happens to be among the latter, that can make life difficult for everyone. What you have to remember is that her stress is also your stress. In a relationship, nothing happens in a vacuum. When one person becomes incapacitated, the other person has to step up.

In this situation, stepping up can mean a lot of things. It means not giving in to the same stress and keeping it together. As Rudyard Kipling wrote:

If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you…

Stepping up also means taking initiative and diffusing the situation. But perhaps the best way to step up is to eliminate predictable stress before it happens. You can also help your partner cope by making her feel special and appreciated. Here are 5 practical ways to make that happen:

1. Marry Her

One cause of stress for some women is the lack of a public, legal commitment to the relationship. The stress can become more intense the longer the relationship lasts. That is because she has already poured so much of her life into the relationship, the cost is higher if it ends unexpectedly. It is not uncommon for a woman to work harder while the other partner completes an advanced degree. If the relationship ends, the partner has a great career. She has nothing to show for it.

A moissanite ring for your engagement can go a long way toward relieving stress concerning the future of the relationship. Marriage has benefits beyond the relationship. Insurance rates go down. Credit is easier to get. And interest rates are lower. Conversations about having children and buying a house go a lot smoother when you are both wearing rings.

2. Listen to Her

People tend to get louder and more shrill when they fell that no one is really listening to them. As that happens you very likely shut down and stop trying to listen altogether. This is a stress-generating feedback loop. You can break the loop by really listening when she is stressed.

We are often better listeners when the person is a stranger, but you may be at a loss on how to listen to a person who is in distress. By treating your partner as you would a stranger in distress, you will be less likely to shortcut the process and provide the needed support.

3. Make It a Spa Day

Another way to relieve stress is to take the direct route. Make it a day of stress relief and pampering. Start with the facial and move on to the massage. A mud bath followed by a mani-pedi is always a nice touch.

The point of a spa day is not the order of the events, or even the events themselves. It is about clearing the mind and body of the things that have been making it tense. If you need to have a good talk about serious matters, do it after a spa day. You will get a lot more out of the talk.

Fellas, sometimes you don't get it, but that is okay. We are here to help. Here's some ways that you can keep her happy and make her feel special. Read on.

4. Pay Extra for the Stress-free Service

If you are going to move in together, do what it takes to make the move stress-free. That might mean paying for full service and having them come in and finish the packing for you. It costs more. But it can make a world of difference in how you feel about something as stressful as a move. Do the same for other services and major events.

5. Apologize

Would you rather be right? Or would you rather relieve some tension in the home? It is not about taking responsibility for what you didn’t do, but about discovering the role you played and taking responsibility for that. Everyone always has something for which they should apologize. Find your something and own it.

Marry her. Really Listen. Make it a spa day. Don’t cheap out. And own up to your mistakes. These things will not create world peace. But they will bring more peace into the part of your world that matters the most.
