๐ฑ Lifestyle Medicine Pillar #2: Positive Relationships
โDo to others as you would have them do to you.โ
This timeless principle is not just spiritual wisdom โ it is psychology, behavioural science, and lifestyle medicine in action.
๐ค Why being good to others matters
When you treat people with kindness, respect, and empathy, you activate trust and connection. People feel safe, valued, and seen.
As a result:
โข They support you
โข They speak well of you
โข They stand with you, even when youโre not present
Over time, they donโt just cooperate โ they become your ambassadors.
๐ People reflect how they are treated
Human beings naturally mirror behaviour:
โข You show grace โ they show grace
โข You show patience โ they soften
โข You show hostility โ they become defensive
Thatโs why:
โข Being good to people makes them walk with you
โข Being bad to people makes them walk against you
You set the emotional tone of every relationship.
โค๏ธ Positive relationships are powerful medicine
Healthy relationships are linked to:
โข Lower stress levels
โข Reduced anxiety and depression
โข Better heart health
โข Longer life expectancy
In lifestyle medicine, how you treat people directly affects your health.
๐งญ Allies or opponents โ the choice is daily
โข Treat people well โ they defend you
โข Treat people poorly โ they oppose you
People may forget your words, but they never forget how you made them feel.
๐ The takeaway
Positive relationships are daily medicine.
Your words, tone, and actions determine whether people walk with you or walk against you.
