Flirt your way to health

It’s not like Gen Next needs a reason to flirt, but here is a good excuse. We share some flirty secrets...

If you thought that indulging in some harmless flirting could only get you the attention of that handsome hunk or that gorgeous beauty, think again. According to some studies, flirting does more than just this, it is also a powerful tool which can help people feel good about themselves and moreover, generates a cartload of positive energy. Psst... it could also add that much-needed zing to your sex life back home, but that’s so long as you learn to leave it outside the door and of course, both, you and your partner are clear about what exactly is acceptable and what’s not when it comes to flirting. Remember the golden rule here: Don’t say or do anything that you wouldn’t if your partner was with you. Listed below are some of the emotional health benefits that flirting promises.

Makes you feel good: Sue Ostler, author of a very successful book on rocking relationships says that flirting can make one feel good and also, reduce stress levels. And God knows how much we need those instant stress-busters in today’s fast-paced and ultra-competitive world. In fact, according to a research conducted at the University of Washington, harmless office flirting helps workers remain happy despite all the official stress and also increases camaraderie between them. Do we need to give you any more reasons? We’re guessing not!

Helps build confidence and self-esteem: Nothing works better when you’re trying to make a good impression on someone than the aura of self-confidence. People who are sure of themselves somehow just manage to say and do the right things at the right time, and we all know the ‘charming’ benefits of this. Also, being in a relationship for a long time can sometimes make one partner take the other for granted, thus lowering the self-esteem of the other person. A little harmless flirting can go a long way to make you feel attractive and confident about yourself again. But remember, know where you have to draw the line.

Makes you feel sexy : Flirting with a person of the opposite sex and getting a favourable response in return can indeed up your sexiness quotient by at least a couple of notches. It is a known fact that flirting helps build positive energy. And here’s more; married couples can also flirt with each other, just like they did when they were getting to know each other. Believe us, it will really help bring an added spark and stimulate your relationship further.

Helps you build new relationships : Flirting is to romance what training is to a sport. Yes, flirting can help one find the partner of their dreams thus increasing the happiness level. For married couples too, flirting with a stranger comes with it’s own fair share of benefits, the chief among them being that when you return home to your spouse, you will start to appreciate what you have a tad more.

many times people who flirt outside and get a hook or hooked which will lead fr unpleasant scenes at home.

Treat your partner as ur friend and flirt with ur partner without hurting the sentiments and feelings

By drmana• 17 May 2010 10:45
drmana

I have always known that and so I keep practicing it (and my hubby knows it too)

Matters related to the heart always have excellent health benefits. Sexercise is the best form of exercise in my belief.
