Sanela Banović, M.D.: How to boost trust in yourself and in your fellow human beings

Life isn't always easy, but it can be easier if we follow a few basic guidelines. The first is to educate ourselves a little about the functioning of our bodies. The second is to listen to ourselves and take care of our own happiness. Only happy parents can have happy children and satisfying relationships. The third is to remember to listen to the people around you and to respect the small wishes of those closest to you. The fourth, to stop waiting for something to happen. That others will change. That the right time is yet to come. Now is the right time. And the fifth is to trust. To believe in ourselves. Our closest ones. Everyman.
