Lapho uzizwa uthanda ukushintsha umuthi wakho

Ungasithola isikhathi lapho ufuna ukuyeka noma ukushintsha umuthi wakho. Kodwa ukushintsha noma ukuyeka umuthi wakho ngokwakho kungaba yingozi. Kungenza isimo sakho sibe sibi kakhulu.

Funda ukuthi ungakhuluma kanjani nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo nosokhemisi ngomuthi wakho. Ningenza izinqumo ndawonye ukuze nizizwe kahle ngemithi yenu.

Ungacabanga ngokumisa noma ukushintsha umuthi wakho lapho:

• Zizwe ungcono
• Cabanga ukuthi ayisebenzi
• Unemiphumela emibi futhi uzizwa kabi
• Bakhathazekile ngezindleko

Uvame ukuzizwa ungcono ngokushesha ekuthatheni umuthi othile. Ungazizwa sengathi awusadingi ukuyithatha.

Uma uyeka ukuphuza umuthi wakho ngaphambi kokufanele ukwenze, ngeke uwuthole ngokugcwele, noma isimo sakho singase sibe sibi kakhulu. Nazi ezinye izibonelo:

• Uma uthatha ama-antibiotics, uzozizwa ungcono ezinsukwini ezi-1 ukuya kwezi-2. Uma uyeka ukuthatha umuthi kusenesikhathi, ungagula futhi.
• Uma uthatha iphakethe le-steroid le-asthma yakho, uzozizwa ungcono ngokushesha. Ungacabanga ukuthi ungayeka ukuyithatha ngoba uzizwa umuhle kakhulu. Ukumisa ngokungazelelwe iphakethe le-steroid kungakwenza uzizwe ugula kakhulu.

Uma ungazizwa ungcono, ungacabanga ukuthi umuthi wakho awusebenzi. Khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho ngaphambi kokwenza ushintsho. Thola:

• Yini ongayilindela emthini. Eminye imithi ingathatha isikhathi esiningi ukwenza umehluko.
• Uma uphuza umuthi ngendlela efanele.
• Uma kukhona omunye umuthi ongasebenza kangcono.

Eminye imithi ingakwenza uzizwe ugula. Ungaba nesisu esigulayo, isikhumba esilumayo, umphimbo owomile, noma okunye okungazizwa kahle.

Lapho umuthi wakho ukwenza uzizwe ugula, ungahle uthande ukuyeka ukuwudla. Khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho ngaphambi kokuyeka noma imuphi umuthi. Umhlinzeki anga:

• Shintsha umthamo wakho ukuze ungazizwa ugula kuwo.
• Shintsha umuthi wakho uye kolunye uhlobo.
• Ukukunikeza iziphakamiso zokuthi ungazizwa kanjani ungcono uma usebenzisa umuthi.

Imithi ingabiza imali eningi. Uma ukhathazekile ngemali, ungahle uthande ukunciphisa izindleko.

Musa ukusika amaphilisi ngesigamu ngaphandle uma umhlinzeki wakho ekutshela. Ungathathi imithamo embalwa kunalokho obekiwe noma uthathe umuthi wakho kuphela uma uzizwa kabi. Ukwenza kanjalo kungenza isimo sakho sibe sibi kakhulu.

Khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho uma ungenayo imali eyanele yemithi yakho. Umhlinzeki wakho angakwazi ukuguqula umuthi wakho uwenze umkhiqizo ojwayelekile obiza kancane. Amakhemisi amaningi nezinkampani ezidayisa izidakamizwa zinezinhlelo zokwehlisa izindleko zabantu.

Shayela umhlinzeki lapho uzizwa uthanda ukushintsha umuthi wakho. Yazi yonke imithi oyiphuzayo. Tshela umhlinzeki wakho ngemithi yakho kadokotela, imishanguzo yokuthenga, nanoma yimaphi amavithamini, izithasiselo, noma amakhambi. Ngokubambisana nomhlinzeki wakho, ninqume ukuthi yimiphi imithi enizoyidla.
