Welcome every guest to your home and tell them how pleased you are to have them. Show you care about their comfort by taking their things and offering them a drink. Even if you can't meet them at the door during a party, be sure to stop whatever you're doing to say “hello” and “welcome.” Take a few minutes to interact with every party or overnight guest so they continue to feel welcome. At a party you should also introduce your guests to each other at the beginning of the evening. Look out for your shy party guests. Help them feel included by asking them to help you with the food or the music. Give guests a tour if they haven't been in your home before. Or ask them to explore and make themselves at home if that's okay with you. This is a good time to share any boundaries in your home and to tell them about any quirks in your house, like plumbing problems or doors that don't lock. For overnight guests, prepare a map of your area (even if you need to draw it yourself), a spare key to your house, a list of emergency contacts, and any household instructions, like how your alarm system works. It's very important that you enjoy yourself. Set the tone for your guests by relaxing and having a good time. Keep up a positive attitude and be flexible, especially if things don't go as planned. If you do run into a problem, ask your guests for help. Most people will love to pitch in.

Welcome mats are used to take the dirt off your feet before entering the home and can also be used at the beach to help with removing excess sand too. Bring one for each person to use. When the beach day is over, take the mats from the car and put them on the ground. Stand on top of them. Begin dusting off large chunks of sand from your feet. For any additional sand left over, use a dry towel to help remove any stubborn grains.

Welcome your emotions and learn to recognize and accept them. If you try to repress your feelings, you won't control them. They'll control you.  Get into the habit of writing through your feelings in a journal. You can analyze what is leading to what feeling, and you can also make a log to keep track of triggers. If you know what your triggers are for specific emotions, then you can do things to limit or avoid your triggers. Suppressing your feelings can give you health problems like insomnia, chronic pain, and heart disease. If you have insecurities, painful memories, or angry responses that come to you frequently, it might help to give them a name. For instance, if you always feel angry when someone cuts you off in traffic, name that feeling "The Got-Cut-Off-In-Traffic-Feeling."  When the feeling or thought is triggered, greet it by name. "Oh, it's the got-cut-off-in-traffic-feeling again." This will help you take some distance and prevent the bad thought from taking over. Forgive those who have wronged you. Forgiveness can lead to empathy and compassion for those who have betrayed you. It will make you calm and in control.  If you want, contact people you are still in touch with and let them know that you have let go of your anger. Forgiveness doesn't mean that you condone bad acts—it just means that you release the negative feelings associated with those acts. To learn to master your emotions, get a good therapist. Talk through how you feel on a weekly or bimonthly basis. Therapy will help you recognize your emotional patterns, and learn to respond wisely. If you have anger issues, consider taking anger management classes or joining an anger management group.

Feel what you are feeling. Name your recurring bad thoughts. Let go of anger, grudges, and resentment. Speak to a therapist.


Well fitting bras and panties are a must to avoid awkward lumps and bumps under clothing. Take the time to get measured at a specialty store to get under garments tailored to your shape. Try shape-wear for under skirts, dresses, and blouses to smooth your stomach and thighs. 	Many offer variations of camisoles and shorts to fit your needs. Don’t be afraid to indulge yourself with a pretty lacy bra or pair of panties. Feel confident about what you have on underneath it all. Outfit yourself with at least one pair of good fitting jeans, simple t-shirts, button-up blouses, a pretty skirt, and a few plain cardigans. Solid colors and low-maintenance patterns are good to have in any style of clothing, and are flattering to all wearers. Layering creates interest and is easy to do. Top off any outfit with a simple sweater or jacket for added depth. Black is the most slimming of shades, but don’t rely on it too much. Find clothing in colors you prefer, no matter the hue. Often time’s plus-sized women are warned of the woes of wearing white; ignore that! White can be flattering to any size woman when worn in a flattering style. Don’t hide under dull colors. Just because a color may be dark or smoggy doesn’t mean it makes you look smaller; contrariwise, bright colors don’t necessarily make you stand out or appear larger. Shapeless clothing is exactly that – shapeless. Don’t wear loose-fitting clothing to try to hide your body. The baggy layers will end up making you appear larger. Your clothes should fit your body, but not cling. Anything too tight will accentuate any unflattering bumps you may have. Search for clothing with ruching and wrapping-patterns. These will fashionably cover up any problem areas you may be concerned about. Tailors are an oft-forgotten but incredibly handy tool. Don’t be afraid to take an article of clothing you love and get it altered to better fit your shape. Try looking in Torid, Modcloth, Nordstroms, Target, and Forever21 for styles that fit any age group, size, and budget.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Start your outfit by laying a solid foundation of proper-fitting undergarments. To create variation with simplicity, keep a stock of basic wardrobe essentials on hand. Don’t be afraid of color in your closet. Clothing should mirror your shape; avoid anything too tight or too loose. Plus-sized clothing doesn’t always mean a plus-sized price tag.


Wellbutrin is usually very effective at controlling symptoms of depression. Generally, those taking the drug should continue it to help manage the respective depression or disorder unless directed otherwise by a care provider; however, there are a few good reasons to discontinue or change the therapy, including:  If you experience severe or continuous side effects If your depression or disorder is not under control with Wellbutrin. For example, your depression may not be adequately controlled if you have persistent sad, anxious or empty feelings, irritability, loss of interest in pleasurable activities or hobbies, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances such as insomnia or excessive sleeping, appetite changes, thoughts of suicide, or physical aches and pains. It is important to note that Wellbutrin generally takes up to eight weeks to fully work and may require dosage increases.  If you have been on Wellbutrin for a while (six to 12 months) and your doctor feels that you are not at risk for (or do not have) chronic or recurrent depression Some mild side effects of the medication can include: nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, weight loss, insomnia, anxiety, changes in taste, frequent urination, and uncontrollable shaking. Let your doctor know if any of these side effects are severe or do not go away.  Serious side effects include seizures, hallucinations, irregular heartbeat, or allergic reactions. Stop taking Wellbutrin, and call your doctor right away if you experience any serious side effects. Ideas of suicide may present in younger adults and children. Let your doctor know right away if you have thoughts related to suicide. Discuss your reasons for wanting to stop taking Wellbutrin with your doctor. Inform your doctor if you feel you don't need medication any longer, have trouble with side effects, or feel that your medication is not working after waiting the initial eight weeks for it to fully work.

Were they trying to give you advice that was simply worded poorly? Were they insulting you because of their own insecurity? Try as hard as you can to place yourself in their shoes. See if you can figure out the real reason they spoke or acted poorly towards you. Changing the way you frame their words can help. For example, don't make a sweeping generalization about the person. Instead of thinking, “This person was mean to me because they are a rotten person,” try thinking, “This person was mean to me because they must be struggling with something.” Think about your reasons for doing that. Were you having a terrible day and were they at the receiving end of your frustration? Did you feel insecure, jealous, or excluded? It's easy to judge others without judging your own actions, but try to remember that everyone has bad days and acts poorly. Always remind yourself that, “hurt people hurt people.” Being mean is not fun or enjoyable, and genuinely happy people aren't mean. They may have said or acted cruelly towards you, but odds are it was just a symptom of an internal issue they are having. Mean people act mean to others, who are then mean in return. If you offer them kindness that they don't often get, you could break this chain for them. You could make all the difference in how they end up treating people later. Anything. Maybe you went to the same school, have mutual friends, or live in the same part of town. Try to find a common thread that can remind you they are a human not much different from you. They acted badly, but they are still deserving of your compassion.

Reflect on their words. Remember a time you lashed out at someone. Break the cycle. Find something you have in common with them.


Were you taught that brave people don't cry? Many people who were raised to hold it all inside have a lot of trouble expressing emotions as adults. But crying is a necessary part of life that actually fosters good mental health. Crying can be an expression of sadness, pain, fear, joy, or just pure emotion, and it's a natural, healthy way to let those emotions run through our bodies.  Men tend to have more trouble letting it all out than women do, primarily because men are taught to keep their emotions to themselves. But crying is just as natural for men as it is for women, even if they do it less often. Girls and boys cry the about the same amount until they reach age 12. When they become adults, men cry 7 times a year on average, while women cry 47 times a year.  Crying is in no way a sign of weakness. It's an expression of emotion that has nothing to do with decision making. You can still take brave actions, even if you cry in anticipation. In fact, crying could help you process the emotions you're feeling and think more clearly about what's ahead. Crying is not for babies, contrary to what you might have heard. Children are more likely to cry because they have not yet internalized the idea that there's something wrong with it. But the need to cry does not go away when you grow up. Crying is a way that humans release emotional tension. It's a natural bodily function that happens as a result of emotions building up and needing to be let out. Interestingly, humans are the only mammals that produce tears as a way to express emotion. Crying is a survival mechanism that helps us in the following ways:  It relieves stress and lowers blood pressure. Over time intense stress and high blood pressure can lead to severe medical problems, and crying helps to mitigate these issues. It's a way to remove toxins that build up when you're upset. Certain chemicals build up in your system when you're stressed, and crying helps to expel them through tears - especially emotional tears, as opposed to tears formed as a result of...

Wet a corner of the cloth with rubbing alcohol and blot the ink stain. It's imperative that you do not scrub the stain -- that will exacerbate your problem. Dab gently at it, absorbing it up into the fibers of your cloth. Start at the edge and work your way to center, preventing the stain from spreading and become a larger problem. Work in a clockwise twisting motion with your rag. Get comfy, because the alcohol needs to sit on it for about 30 minutes. It needs to literally eat it away, which can take time. Keep at it! A quarter cup of vinegar for a quart of warm water is a good ratio (that's 1:16). The rubbing alcohol may dry out your carpet, depending on its texture, so it's a good idea to give it this rinsing. If the stain is gone, rinse finally with clean water and let dry. Vacuum the area if the fibers are a bit wonky. Let it sit for 15 minutes. When the clock is up, scoop it away and blot with the aforementioned vinegar and water mixture. By now, the stain should definitely be gone. Rinse it with plain water and marvel at your spotless carpet!

As soon as possible after the spill, grab a clean cloth and some rubbing alcohol. Dab the wet rag over the ink spot repeatedly, occasionally re-wetting the cloth with more alcohol. To avoid damage, rinse the area with warm water and vinegar. If the stain persists, cover it with shaving cream.


Wet a washcloth or lint-free rag with warm water and use it to wipe down both the metal stem and the inside of the handle where the stem inserts. A quick cleaning is necessary to ensure that the glue you'll be using will stick properly.  You can also clean your umbrella with rubbing alcohol if you encounter any particularly heavy grime or rust.  A good wipedown will also help get rid of any dust or dirt that's built up on older umbrellas over the years. Angle the nozzle of the bottle to better spread the glue around the inner surface of the handle. Super glue is designed to provide a super-grippy hold, so you won't need to use a lot. Apply steady pressure to make sure your umbrella dries straight. Once that time is up, the connection should be strong enough to help the umbrella hold its shape.  Super glue dries fast, but it takes a little time to cure completely. Hold off on using your umbrella for about an hour after putting it back together. This method may not be effective enough to repair heavy umbrellas made from materials like steel and wood that have a lot of heft. In this case, you may have no choice but to replace the umbrella. If you think your umbrella could use a little extra reinforcement after gluing, wrap a length of 20/2-gauge wire in an 'X' pattern on either side of the connection site. It may not be pretty, but it will help prevent the handle and stem from coming separated again.  If possible, tuck the loose end of the wire underneath the wrapped section to keep it from coming unwound. If you really want to make sure the wire stays put, dab a bead of super glue into the seams. It will take a lot more than a rainstorm to pry it loose!

Clean the handle and stem of your umbrella with a clean, damp cloth. Dab some superglue onto both the stem and the inside of the handle. Press and hold the separate pieces together for 20-60 seconds. Wind some small-gauge wire around the stem for additional support.


Wet a washcloth with hot or warm water and lay it over the afflicted area. A wet cloth is preferable to directly applying warm water to hardwood or car paint because the cloth traps heat and moisture, rather than simply running off or possibly causing water damage. Leave the spot to soak in the moisture from the cloth. Once the bird droppings have softened, treat the spot directly with a wood or car cleaner. If the smooth surface you’re cleaning is vinyl or something similar, an all-purpose cleaner should be fine, or you might even have success with the warm washcloth alone. Spray or blot just enough cleaner onto the spot to cover it; avoid getting excess cleaner on unaffected areas of hardwood or paint.  A wash-and-wax cleaner should do the trick on cars. Wash-and-wax solutions are formulated to clean dirt, oil and grime off of cars and leave the topcoat of paint with a freshly-waxed shine.  Purchasing special cleaning products is recommended for treating temperamental surfaces, but assuming you don't feel like dropping a lot of money, you can also go the homemade route. A gentle, natural wood polish can be whipped up out of hot water, olive oil and lemon juice, while dish soap diluted with warm water makes a basic but effective solution for cleaning car exteriors. Hardwood and car paint are surfaces that are easily damaged, so only leave the cleaner on the spot for a few moments to give it time to set up. Otherwise, the cleaner made bleed through the spot and stain your hardwood floor, or eat into your top coat of paint. There’s no need for the cleaner to sit for a long period of time on the spot because hard, smooth surfaces are non-porous, and therefore the cleaner won’t have to soak into the material in order to clean it. Take another clean, damp towel and wipe away as much of the bird droppings as you can. Broad, gentle strokes will work best here. Try not to scrub in a back-and-forth motion or apply too much pressure, as this may weaken the surface’s finish. After all remnants of the spot are removed,...

Place a warm, wet cloth over the stain. Treat the spot with a specialty cleaner. Leave the cleaner on for only a few moments. Use a soft towel to gently scrub out the spot.


Wet armpit hair, and wet hair in general, cuts much more easily than dry hair. When the hair is dry, it is much stronger, so when you are shaving dry hair, the razor tugs harder at the hair, causing it to break improperly. It is best to allow your underarms to soak for at least five minutes before shaving.  It is better to shave more towards the end of your shower or bath so that your armpit hair has had time to absorb the water. Use warm water as opposed to cold or cool water, as this will help to soften the hair follicle and also open up the pore around the follicle so that the hair can be cut closer to the base. Shaving foams tend to cause underarm dryness, which can lead to irritation and ingrown hairs when shaving. Choose special shaving gels made for those with sensitive skin. They are usually well lubricated. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to choose a more gentle alternative to shaving gel or shaving foam like coconut oil or hair conditioner. Purchase multi-use, changeable razors with at least three blades and a rotating head. Disposable one- or two-blade razors tug at the skin and wear out quickly.  Using an electric razor can prevent ingrown armpit hairs because it does not cut as deeply as disposable razors. Old razor blades are notorious for creating ingrown hairs, so make sure you change your razor often. While many might prefer shaving against the grain to achieve more smoothness, shaving with the grain of your hair will cut the hair straight and leave it long enough so it isn't trapped beneath the skin. This can be a little challenging when shaving your armpits, as the hairs may actually be growing in different directions. Do your best to follow the direction of growth as you shave. Avoid stretching the skin taut when shaving. This will reveal more of the hair from under the skin and cause you to cut the hair too short. Cutting/shaving so close to the skin’s surface will only increase the likelihood of an ingrown hair.  Apply light pressure. Shaving too hard can cut your skin,...

Wet your armpit thoroughly before shaving. Choose shaving gel instead of shaving foam. Choose a high-quality razor and replace the blades often. Shave with the grain. Don’t stretch your skin. Decrease how frequently you shave. Consider alternative methods of hair removal.


Wet both hands with running water. Warm or hot water is best, but cold water may be acceptable. Dispense a generous amount of liquid soap into your palm. Liquid soap is preferable. Spread soap onto both palms. Be sure this area is sufficiently covered by soap. Repeat this action with the left hand over the right. This will spread soap onto the backs of both hands. Be sure this area is sufficiently covered by soap. Spread soap between your fingers. Move your fingers back and forth to ensure that soap reaches all areas between your fingers. Interlock your fingers. This ensures that soap reaches the very back of your fingers. “Rotational rubbing” simply means to rub in a circular motion. Use the palm of one hand to wash the thumb of the opposite hand by way of rotational rubbing. Repeat this on the other side. Bring the fingers of one hand together. Use these fingers to wash the opposite palm by way of rotational rubbing. Repeat this on the other side. Use one hand to clean the opposite wrist by way of rotational rubbing. Repeat this on the other side. Place your hands under running water. Remove all traces of soap. Again, warm water is preferred, but cold water may be acceptable. Use a clean disposable towel. Dry your hands until no wetness remains. Dispose of used towels right away.

Dry your hands thoroughly.


Wet firewood needs to dry out before it can be stored safely. Wet wood needs to be exposed to open air to dry out. If you've just collected firewood, refrain from putting a tarp over it. If it's going to rain, it's appropriate to cover wet firewood with a tarp. Just make sure to leave the sides of firewood pile uncovered. You do not want to throw wet firewood into your fireplace. Before using your firewood, make sure it's adequately dry.  Dry firewood will be gray with cracks along the edges. Dry firewood will also be much lighter than wet firewood. It's possible your city or neighborhood may have regulations about storing firewood.  Look over local codes in your area before choosing a storage method for your firewood. You want to make sure you store your firewood legally.

Wet wax can become infected because it has lots of dead skin cells which can swell and provide an ideal environment for bacterial growth. To reduce the chance of ear infections, try to keep your ears dry when possible.  When swimming, you can wear a swim cap. Use a towel to dry your outer ears when they become wet. If water gets in your inner ears, try tilting your head and holding it in that position until the water can run out. Pulling lightly on your earlobe can also open up your ear canal and make it easier for the water to drain out. You can also use a blow dryer on a low setting to dry your ears; hold it several inches away from your ears. When your ears become dirty, gently wipe the outer portions with a warm cloth. Do not use cotton swabs or other implements to clean your inner ears; ordinarily, ear wax will gradually fall out of your ear on its own. If you have a recurrent problem with ear buildup, apply ear drops once every month or so to help prevent it. Do not use ear drops more often than that, however, because they can irritate your skin. You should also let your doctor know if you have chronic ear problems.  If you wear a hearing aid, you are at a greater risk of ear problems. Have your ears checked three to four times a year by a doctor to catch and treat any issues.  Let your doctor know if you notice any unusual symptoms related to your ears (such as a non-wax discharge, severe pain, or significant hearing difficulties), or if you are unsure of their condition.

Keep your ears dry. Clean your ears properly. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.


Wet your hair, then apply a conditioner or leave-in product. Use a fine-toothed nit comb to comb sections that are about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) wide, starting at your scalp and ending at the ends of your hair. Make sure to clean the comb with a tissue and some hot water after you’ve combed each section. This may remove lice and some of their nits, or eggs, if you do it for several weeks.  You can purchase a nit comb at a pharmacy, grocery store, or online. Run the nit comb the length of the hair at least twice during a session. Repeat the process every 3-4 days for several weeks. Do this for at least 2 weeks after you find no more lice in your hair. To see your scalp better, direct a light onto it or use a magnifying glass. Pin up each section after you comb it so you can more easily comb all of your hair. Use essential oils such as tea tree oil, anise oil, or ylang ylang oil to kill the lice and their nits. Mix about 50 drops of your chosen essential oil or oils with 4 tablespoons (59 mL) of vegetable oil. Apply the oils to your hair, cover it with a plastic shower cap, and wrap a towel around your head to seal in the heat. Leave the oils on your hair for an hour, then shampoo your hair.  You can also look for plant oils containing nerolidol, which is a chemical compound found in many plant oils. Examples of this kind of oils includes neroli, ginger, jasmine, and lavender.  There is some evidence that applying natural plant oils to your hair may kill lice and eggs and soothe related itching. Be aware that although essential oils may work against lice, they are not approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to meet safety, efficacy, and manufacturing standards, and they may cause damage to your scalp if not used properly. You can buy essential oils at most health food stores, some pharmacies, and many grocery stores. There are several household products that may deprive lice and nits of air, such as mayonnaise, olive oil, butter, or petroleum jelly. Apply a coat of one of these smothering...

Wet your hands with warm water, then scrub them for 30 seconds with soap. Rinse your hands thoroughly, then dry them on a clean microfiber towel.  Try not to get any lint on your hands from the towel.  Make sure your towel is clean and dry. This step is optional, but it may help you if your contacts tend to dry out on your eyes. The drops will wet your contact so that it comes off more easily. Squeeze 2-3 of drops of lubricating and rewetting solution into your eyes to wet them.  Check the label to make sure your rewetting drops are approved for use with contacts. If they aren’t, don’t use those drops, as they’ll damage your contacts. If you don't have rewetting drops, you can use saline solution to wet your eyes. However, you shouldn't use contact lens cleaning solution, which can dry or irritate your eyes. Place the contact face up in your palm, then spray it with contact lens cleaning solution. Lightly rub each side of the contact lens to get it clean. Finally, rinse it again to remove any remaining debris. If the contact is old or damaged, throw it away. Gently drop the contact into the lens case, then fill the case with fresh contact solution. Replace the cap over the contact to keep it safe.  Make sure you store your contact in the correct side of the lense case. Don’t use old contact solution. Be sure to use fresh solution each time you store your contact.

Wet-sanding is not done with the same type of sandpaper as traditional dry-sanding. Wet sandpaper is designed to hold up when wet, while dry sandpaper is not. Wet sandpaper also comes in a much finer (higher numbered) grit, which produces a smoother finish. Sanding sponges are commonly used because they conform to the surface better than sandpaper does. Feel free to use these, but keep in mind they might not have the grit you need. Besides using wet sandpaper, you need to make sure to get a high grit to ensure a fine smoothness. The lowest grit you should use is 200, but you’ll find up to about 2000 grit. It comes down to how much time you have available and your preference.  For example, purchase wet sandpaper that’s 250, 500, 750, and 1000 grit. Start with the lowest, and increase the grit as you go if you want the wood smoother. You may find that the second round of wet-sanding does not seem to make the wood any smoother. In this case, stop after using the 500 grit paper. No matter what you do, the sandpaper will dry out as you use it. To keep it wet longer, soak it overnight so it absorbs as much water as possible. If you are in a rush, soak it for at least 15 minutes while you get everything set up. This is not mandatory, because you’ll still dip it in lubricant when you start, but soaking is best when you have the time.

Choose wet or wet/dry sandpaper. Select high-grit wet sandpaper. Soak the sandpaper in water overnight.


What activities are safe and beneficial for you will depend on what illness you’ve recovered from and what your health status is. If you’re getting back to working out after an extensive knee surgery but are otherwise healthy, you’ll want to do different activities than if you’ve been bedridden for 6 months. When in doubt, ask your doctor what your limitations should be. The range of motion of a joint is how far in what directions a joint can move, and this should sometimes be limited after surgery. For instance, after shoulder surgery your doctor or physical therapist may advise you that you need to avoid reaching overhead until you’re healed. Be sure you understand what movements are safe for you to do before you start exercising. Swimming is a non-weight bearing cardiovascular exercise – in other words, it gets your heart rate up for a good workout without putting stress on your joints. If you’re recovering from knee, hip, or shoulder surgery, swimming can be a great way to start. Swimming and aqua aerobics are also beneficial exercises if you have arthritis or problems with balance like after a stroke. For painful joints, also do isometric exercises of the surrounding muscles. Isometric exercises are those that tighten and release the muscle, which makes it stronger. For instance, if your knee is weak or painful, work to strengthen your quadriceps muscles. The American Cancer Society recommends that those living disease-free or with stable disease exercise regularly. Numerous studies have shown that exercise not only improves wellbeing, mental health, strength, and physical wellness, it may decrease recurrence rates in some types of cancer. Make a goal to exercise for 150 minutes each week or longer, and do strength training 2 days each week.  Always consult your doctor or care team before starting an exercise program. Cancer survivors have some specific needs and limitations during exercise. For instance, chlorinated pools may irritate skin if you’ve had radiation therapy, using heavy weights may be...

What are you trying to avoid or establish? If you have no clear goal, then becoming a hermit will merely be a passing phase. Is this a temporary means of rebellion? Is this to avoid a certain someone or people in general? Is this a type of prolonged "time out" for yourself? Do you feel a spiritual calling to hermitism? What are your personal reasons? Is it the appeal of not being with people or is it the simplicity of the lifestyle that draws you? Does it seem like a passing phase or is it something that's been in the back of your mind for years? It is the symptom of a larger issue? Or is it the only possible solution? Being a hermit doesn't mean you're locked inside your house. Plenty have communication with the outside world or even live with another person. Over half live in urban areas. Knowing that there's a spectrum to being hermitic, where do you fall? In today's world, it's difficult to be entirely self-sustaining. Do you want to build your own house, grow your own food, and rig up your own well system? Or would you rather stay put in your apartment and order Chinese takeout? Both are their own versions of the hermit life. In the spirit of hermitdom, it is probably best to choose somewhere hidden, small, and modest. Better still if it's environmentally friendly. The more bucolic and out-of-the-way, the better. But if you happen to have a place in the middle of Manhattan, that'll work too (just get sound-proof windows). As for the interior, generally hermits desire simple lives. Some have cable, computers, and are connected, while others spend their hours praying, gardening, and being entirely removed from the outside world. If you are planning on becoming a hermit to rid yourself of the evils and woes of society, you may want to weed through your possessions, removing the clutter from the world around you. Do you want to go cold turkey? Just one day wake up in your bed, take a look at the door, and know you'll never leave the woven entrails of your Berber carpet ever again? Or will you slowly limit...

What do you actually do? Sometimes, getting a fresh sense of your job can help you to forget the day-to-day annoyances which threaten to sap your motivation, and helps you concentrate on actually doing the job. Are there jobs you feel like you could do well? Are there projects that you want to tackle? Think about why you are working and why you are well-suited for the job. Where do you see yourself working in 1-2 years? How is your current job helping you reach that goal? If your job doesn't quite suit you passion or skill set, find a way make it fit. For example, if you love to write you might offer to draft the company newsletter, or offer suggestions to your boss about ways to improve the copy on your website. Input a bit of your own personality in your work and you'll find that the motivation takes care of itself. One quick way to stay motivated at work is to look at what you have completed. Ticking off the to-do list is a good way to show you how much you have done in a day. It is also a great way to keep track of overall goals and show yourself how small, seemingly unimportant tasks come together to complete a larger project. Working isn't always fun. But the best way to stay motivated when doing tedious or tough tasks is to remember the end-goal. The best goals are personal ones that mean a lot to you, making it much easier to motivate yourself.  After you complete a milestone, like finishing the first chapter of a manuscript or completing expense reports on time, reward yourself. Celebrate your accomplishments and they will become much more meaningful. Your goals don't have to be related to your current job. You could be saving up to go back to school or working your way up the company ladder to a better job, too. Negative thoughts have a way of festering, growing, and getting worse the more you think and talk about them. Instead of always venting about a terrible boss, difficult tasks, and annoying coworkers, think about the things you do enjoy. Make a list of the positives in your work and try to...

Assess your role and the role you hope to fill at work. Find or create tasks that utilize your skills. Keep track of your tasks and chores, and mark them when finished. Set goals and celebrate milestones. Focus on the reasons to work, not the reasons not to. Organize and schedule your work. Stay away from the clock. Seek out work that you feel motivated to do.


What do you consider a successful life? When you see yourself 3-4 years down the line, what are you doing? If these questions are difficult, ask smaller ones to start: are you living in a city or the country? Do you want to work from home or do you want to help save the world through charity? Maybe you just want the time to pursue your hobbies at leisure. Whatever it is, winners figure out where the finish line is so that they can plan how to get there. Goals worth having aren't always easy. Don't let the difficulty or length of a task in front of you discourage you from going for it. Winners know that success requires work before the actual event or challenge occurs. "Prior preparation prevents poor performance," so sit down for a few hours and sketch out the following questions, as well as your answers:  "What are the most likely things to go wrong?" "How can I prevent problems or issues in advance?" "What tools/materials do I need for success?" "What steps can I take now to ensure success later?" Winners never "know everything." It's actually the opposite, as winners recognize that knowledge is power and you can never gain enough. Read a daily journal article in your field, pick up a new skill, and go to talks and lectures that catch your interest. While you should focus on your field, know that inspiration comes from everywhere. An open mind will take you far no matter what you're doing.  Try to be a sponge, absorbing as much information as you can whenever you can. The more you challenge yourself, the more you'll learn. Taking the difficult or longer route usually pays off in more experience and know-how. This is a lot like the difference between studying a little bit every day and cramming the night before the test. While both may do enough to help you pass, the lessons learned from cramming are quickly forgotten. You gain much more ground if you work on something every single day, building momentum and forging powerful mental pathways that make you more efficient and successful in the future. That...

Define what it means to win in life. Do the preparation work necessary for success. Always keep learning, especially in the fields you enjoy. Work on your goals every single day instead of in big chunks. Stop and analyze your goals, making adjustments as needed, regularly. Study the habits of the very best in your field. Look at failures as challenges, not roadblocks. Prioritize wisely. Have a winner's mentality.


What do you like? Do you want to incorporate trendy items into your wardrobe, or do you prefer a classic look? Do you have hipster tendencies? Want to be a professional? Being fashionable does not mean adhering to a specific look. It means finding what you're comfortable in and running with it.  Spend time flipping through catalogs or surfing websites that feature and sell clothes. There are tons of different pieces that will look phenomenal on you--it's just a matter of finding them. Find out what other people are wearing. You don't a have to necessarily be a fashion clone to be pretty. Maybe you could see what 'she's' wearing and transform it into your style. Ultimately, clothes that you love and feel good in will be worn more confidently by you. It has less to do with today's fashion and more to do with how you present yourself, though both are intertwined. Where you live, where you go and what you do are major factors in dressing fashionably. If you wear a ballgown to the office, that is not fashionable; if you wear a business suit to the prom, likewise. Think about what kind of clothing is appropriate for the things you're going to be doing. Fashion varies area to area. What's popular on a runway in Milan may not have made it to the streets of Chicago. Whatever fashion you're aiming for, tap into its sources. Finding what you love and what looks good on you is imperative, regardless of where it's from or who originated it.

What do you need to play a game of paintball? At some places, the answer is nothing. Instead of buying a bunch of gear, rent some at a field that rents out gear to see how you like the game, then consider investing in your own stuff when you're ready.  When you arrive at a paintball center or field, you will be given a set of overalls, possibly body armour, a face mask, and a hopper. This is the container that holds the paintballs and feeds them into the paintball gun. When you go out into the live fire zone to play your matches, you will be issued a paintball gun. The hopper will usually fit into the top of the gun, and there is a safety switch and a trigger on the gun. Then you're ready to play. Paintball guns are operated with compressed air, which shoot marble-sized balls of paint at a high velocity. A good starter paintball gun usually costs anywhere between $100 and $150 dollars, but higher range models can be upward of $700.  The Tippmann A5 is recommended for beginners and newbies alike. If you don't like the styling on the Tippmann A5, look for a Kingman Spyder gun, such as the Spyder Pilot or Spyder Sonix. These guns are suggested to newer players for the fact of that they are quality, and aren't in the really pricey range. Spend time with your gun, if you buy one. Learn to clean it and maintain it, to ensure that you'll get the most accurate shots when you're out on the field. Paintballs are capsules containing a non-toxic, bio-degradable, water-soluble dye with a gelatin outer shell. When players play against each other individually, each of them gets a unique color set of paintballs. When players play in teams, each team is assigned a unique paintball color. This is done to make it easy to identify the winning player or team. Mostly, paint will be purchased directly from the arena where you play. If you want to play at other locations, you can buy bulk paintballs at most sporting goods stores. If you have your own paintball gun, it's important to familiarize yourself with the action and the range...

What do you value in other women? What makes them "feminine" to you? Spending time with women and people you feel are feminine will help you access your own femininity. While everyone is different, most people define "feminine" by the following traits:  In-tune with emotions, both your own and others. Caring and compassionate. Sensitive. Nurturing. Soft, beautiful, sometimes delicate, etc. No matter what your definition of femininity, you've got to own it. You have a unique, incredible personality that you should never be afraid to hide. Being more feminine is not about learning to act a part or conform to a role. It is about being happy with who you are and accentuating the qualities you enjoy.  Remind yourself that no one has a monopoly on being feminine -- you get to decide what it means as much as anyone else. Femininity is about being free to be yourself, love your body and life, and love others. Just like you shouldn't expect other people to judge you on your femininity, you shouldn't judge others. Historically, femininity is rooted in ideas of compassion, wisdom, and nurturing. This is why some people view acting feminine as weak or vulnerable, as typical feminine behavior isn't rooted in selfishness. Yet the ability to be flexible and caring is important for everyone and helps foster community and togetherness that can solve the hardest of problems.  Be respectful and polite, even when wronged. Taking the high road is not only dignified, it often diffuses problems before they occur.  Avoid unnecessary conflict whenever possible by distancing yourself from petty fights. Having emotional empathy is one of the keys to being more feminine that all people, men and women alike, can  embrace. Empathy is when you try and put yourself in someone's shoes to see how they feel. This allows you to better manage conflicts, help friends in need, and make long-lasting friendships.  Ask yourself: "What is their side of the story?" before getting angry. Think of problems in terms of other people, not just yourself....

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Spend time with women. Have confidence in your charm and ability. Be compassionate. Think about other people, not just yourself. Be receptive to the world around you, good and bad. Recognize that being more feminine has nothing to do with success or accomplishment.


What does financial security mean to you? If it simply means being rich, you may not have a realistic dream. However, if it means paying off your loans, saving for your kid's college fund, or saving for retirement, then you have a realistic end goal that you can work towards.  Having a clear idea of what you want to save up for and why can help keep you motivated and on-track. Once you have a well-defined financial goal, you can talk to a financial planner to help you find ways to invest or save your money. If you want to feel financially secure, you need to first evaluate your current financial situation to determine what (if anything) needs to change. This starts with examining your finances, including your savings and your expenses.  Take note of your income, as well as your savings (if any). Track your daily, weekly, and monthly expenses. Carry a small notebook in your pocket or purse and write down every single expense. That includes things you buy, bills you pay, and the dates/times those expenses were incurred. You should also make a note of how you were feeling when you made any purchases. Examine your spending patterns. Do you tend to buy things for yourself when you're feeling sad or stressed out? Are there any purchases that you made on a whim when you didn't really need that item, or could have found it cheaper somewhere else? Make sure you are not spending more than you earn. This will quickly put you in debt, and it will be hard to recover your finances once you're in the red. Find ways to reduce expenses. You don't need to deprive yourself of every single thing that makes you happy, but you also need to set limits and boundaries for yourself. Don't go on shopping sprees whenever you feel like it, and don't make useless purchases that you don't really need. Some expenses, like rent, utilities, and groceries, are unavoidable. But even with these essential expenses, you can find ways to spend less by shopping smart and avoiding unnecessary expenditures.  Any time you go grocery shopping, bring a...

What does your character do for the story? What type of personality will they have? Start sketching out their rough personality and general role. A clear personality (as opposed to "does whatever") gives your character a stronger presence in the story.  A list of adjectives (e.g. caring, perceptive, perfectionistic, anxious) is a good start, but it isn't nearly enough for a complex character. A strong character has a detailed history and present. One thing that interests readers is how a character deals with pain. What causes your character emotional pain? Do they suffer from an abusive family, bullying, regret over bad decisions, perfectionism, a mental illness, et cetera? What is your character afraid of? What upsets them?   Some beginners overload on tragedy, thinking "more pathos means more interesting." However, too much can cause readers to lose interest. Focus on one or two things that hurt your character. One or two intense struggles are more compelling than 5 different problems. Try researching the problem(s) your character faces. For example, if your character is self-conscious about being deaf, read from Deaf people, their internal struggles, and how they learned to accept themselves. Do they hide their vulnerability, or share it? How do they cope on bad days? Consider which strategies (healthy or unhealthy) your character has developed to deal with hardship.   Who do they open up to? If it's hard to open up, why? What makes it scary to them? On a bad day, how does your character handle things? Be socially conscious when discussing harmful coping mechanisms. For example, your character might do harmful things, like excessive drinking or acting possessive/controlling to their partner. To avoid glorifying bad behavior, show the negative consequences of these. Your character should be held accountable for their actions. Consider the family and living situation your character had growing up, what problems they faced in childhood, and how this shaped who they are today. While the reader may not need to...

What happened between the two of you should stay between the two of you. Avoid broadcasting information about you and your partner, even to people you think you trust. Gossip spreads quickly, and telling one person probably means the rest of the office will know shortly. That means on social media too. Businesses keep an eye on the kinds of things you post on social accounts, and it will be hard to keep people from prying if you are suddenly “In a relationship,” or “It’s complicated.” Hold off on announcing anything on those places until your relationship becomes serious. If your boss learns about your hook-up, or confronts you about what happened, be honest. He doesn’t need to know all the steamy details, but you shouldn’t lie about it. Your relationship may or may not be a problem, depending on your office’s rules. Lying about it, though, can cause problems for you and your co-worker, as well as cause your boss to lose trust in you. If your other co-workers think they’ve figured it out, you don’t want to lie to them. It will only make it worse if last night’s partner isn’t telling the same story. Remember that you don’t have to tell them anything, and feel free to remind them that it’s none of their business. Beyond not telling others, you don’t want to start sharing intimate or embarrassing details about your partner. While it may feel fun or liberating to talk about her interesting birthmark, or his odd bedroom requests, consider how you would want to be treated. Gossiping about your co-worker is unprofessional, and will make it difficult for the two of you to maintain a good working relationship. And, you can be sure, your co-worker will learn it was you who told everyone. While it is going to be awkward at times, you need to try and act as if nothing happened. Keep your regular routine and meetings, and don’t be afraid to steer any personal conversations back to work. This also means not avoiding the person at well. Awkwardly trying to prevent talking to the other person will probably draw attention to...

What happens after you have stuck up for yourself is not as important as the fact that you stuck up for yourself. Sticking up for yourself is hard and you should be proud that you did it. It is a good practice that you will need to learn to do many times before things start to change because sticking up for yourself is not a one time fix thing.  While you are in the confrontation, tell yourself that you are doing the right thing. And again after the conversation, remind yourself that it was good to talk to your sister and set your boundaries no matter how she handles it. Don’t be down if there were bad parts of your conversation or if your sister didn’t seem to listen to you. Think about what you did or said that you were glad that you did. Plan on saying things differently, listening better, or reacting to her better based on your conversation. People talk to themselves in their heads and sometimes that self talk becomes negative and starts repeating. When it comes to your sister, make sure that you don’t dwell on only the bad things in your relationship. It is good to think about the ways that we are not being treated right and stick up for ourselves, but we shouldn’t dwell on these things because it might make things worse. Learning how to change your negative self talk positive can help you to reduce your stress in other parts of your life, too.  For example, if you find yourself repeating negative things to yourself like, “I will never like her,” this might make you more bitter toward your sister. And feeling bitter or resentful will make it harder for you two to have a good relationship. Find ways to make your thoughts more positive. You don’t have to lie, but you can say something like, “Sometimes I feel like I really don’t like my sister, but occasionally she sticks up for me with our parents, and I can tell she cares about me.” Refocus on the good things. After a bad conversation you can say to yourself, “No matter what happened, I didn’t lose my cool.” If you have a difficult relationship with your...

Feel good about asserting yourself, and be prepared to do it again. Reflect on what went well in your conversation and what could go better next time. Change the way you talk to yourself. Make an effort to reach out to your sister more. Talk to your parents and friends about the situation.


What has already happened is over; you've survived. Don't drag yourself down by dwelling on old events.  Think about why you felt or still feel embarrassed. Making mistakes is part of being human. If your anxiety stems from having unreasonable expectations, remember that you aren't perfect. Laugh at yourself.  We may be in the age of humiliation, but it only matters if you internalize it. Assess your strengths, weaknesses, and limitations.  Being humble about your abilities will help you feel confident about what you can accomplish. Be responsible for your errors.  If your embarrassment stems from a simple mistake, owning up to it is the first step towards being getting over it and being confident. There are many types of voices, and just because yours is different doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad   Don't apologize for your singing voice. There is no true right or wrong voice. Singing, especially in church, is about the happiness and meaning the act brings you, not necessarily about how you sound. Concentrate on group singing.  Your voice may blend better when singing with the congregation or the choir. Remain hopeful no matter how you sound.  Use positive reinforcement and convince yourself you sound fine.  Tell yourself, "It doesn't matter what happens.  I will persevere and sing with my heart." The act of singing in church is considered a form of prayer. Focus on the fellowship.  It is referenced within the Bible as being a way to praise God: "Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord," Ephesians 5:19.   What makes singing powerful is the positive feelings it can bring. "Come let us sing for joy to the Lord," Psalms 95:1. Remember that you are singing for a community, which can be both comforting and empowering.  There is nothing but love and support in the congregation. Search for a song that conveys your feelings of love, worship, and faith.  There are even some contemporary songs that have deep religious meanings.

Let go of past embarrassment. Embrace your unique voice. Find out why singing is meaningful to you.


What is coming back right now? Are you happy with it? What aspects of it do you think could be improved? What aspects do you consider are currently problematic?  Do you even have a reputation online? No digital presence can be viewed by tech-savvy employers as odd and possibly decrease your chances of employment. Use Google Alerts, Yahoo Alerts, etc. to bring back anything with your name in it. If your name is commonplace, include other identifying factors linked just to you, such as your hometown, your business name, your job title or a hobby you actively participate in, etc., or you'll get snowed under with every other return for Joe Smith and Jane White too! There are online services that can track your comments trail (forums, message boards, blogs, etc.), check your Twitter reputation, search blogs for your name, etc. There are sites that show when people have searched for you or asked questions about you. Focus on what you know you're most active on, then work your way down the list. In many cases, this may be as simple as deleting a profile or messages from specific sites and waiting out the time for the search engine to stop returning these as top returns (in some instances, you can apply to have removal of search returns sped up). In other cases, you may need to seek professional help to get bad returns from continuing.  Contact a person who has uploaded damaging images, information or videos of you first. Ask that person nicely to remove it. Don't use curse words or rude statements––keep it clear, simple and factual and ask the other person to kindly remove the offending information. Contact webmasters of sites to ask that your details or offending information be removed.  If you can't find details on the website for a webmaster, check Whois for more information. In some cases, the webmaster may ignore or refuse your request, or you won't be able to find the webmaster at all (it does happen). In which, case, keep trying while doing other positive things.

What is most important to you? What do you want out of your life? Listen to what other people have to say, but remind yourself that you, like George W. Bush, are The Decider. You decide your life, not the toxic sludge people surrounding you. If they can't accept that, they can get out of the way. Write down your short and long-term plans on paper. Paste it on a wall where you can constantly remind yourself and stay focused. This will also help you when times get tough and you feel the gripping desire to fall back into older negative habits. Lots of people go through life saying, "My parents wanted me to do X, so I did X", or "My spouse wanted to go to city X, so we went to city X." Do you want your life to be decided by someone else? Make a choice, for better or worse, and live with the consequences. Don't allow other people or their preferences to be an excuse for you. Saying, "I'd be happy if X were different" is just another way of saying, "I'm not in charge of my own life. It's true that sometimes you need to need to make compromises with the people close to you. But don't let compromise be your go-to. Why would you hang out with people you don't like to be around? Find the guys and gals who are optimistic, upbeat, and happy. Your smiles will form a natural barrier against the haters.  Move to a new town or switch jobs if you're surrounded by negative people at your old one. End that relationship and start a new one with someone who builds you up instead of dragging you down. Use the inspirational example of positive people in your life to guide yourself away from the toxic people. Smile, give compliments, say thank you, make eye contact, and generally do the things you would expect normal, nice people to do. Being nice is not hard, but some people need you to play the Big Bird to their Oscar the Grouch. .

What is the person you intend to diss especially proud of? What are they especially embarrassed about? Figuring out these weak points is a good way to plan out disses in advance that you can use in your favor. Pick on their points of pride.  If the person teasing you is always dressed really well, or seems to be proud of their Nike sneakers, remember what kinds of clothes they usually wear and prepare insults related to their clothing. If the person is a very good student or a very bad student, insulting their grades or their smarts can be a good way to get to them. Sports are often important in school. If you're being dissed by an athlete, consider calling them out on their granny-like basketball dribble or their missed shots. Disses are supposed to make you mad, so practice your poker face. When you get insulted, you should act as if it doesn't hurt your feelings at all, no matter what they say. Chuckle and let the diss roll off. If you see your tormentor coming up to you, think about something else and plan out what you'll say in advance to avoid listening to them. Focus on a funny feature, like the person's nose or their ear to distract yourself while they're talking. If they've got a pimple, stare at it hard. It might even make you laugh. Getting into a diss-trading duel with a good "disser" is probably a bad idea. If you play it cool when you get insulted initially, the ball is in your court and you can wait for the opportune moment to let loose with your well-planned insult.  If you're going with the clothes tactic, wait until they're wearing some stylish new duds and tell them that you like their new shirt, before saying: "The guy who picks up garbage outside my house wears the same thing." Wait until gym class to insult their athletic skills. If they trip or fall down, start pointing and laughing and get your friends to join in. If you're going to insult their smarts, wait until they have to read out loud in class. If you're next, imitate their reading style before switching over to your normal voice...

What is the purpose of your prayer? Are you asking God to forgive you, to praise him, or to thank him for something? Whatever the reason, knowing your motivation will help you know what to include in your prayer letter. For example, if you are writing your prayer letter to ask God to guide you about a big decision at work, you can focus on that specific request when you have acknowledged that this is your main source of concern. Praying is our way of communicating with the Lord. When you talk to God, you need to pray with your heart and your deepest sincerity. If you have ulterior motives or if you are not fully invested in your prayer, then there is little reason to pray in the first place. Praying to God doesn’t mean that you will automatically receive what you ask for. Sometimes God’s plan is bigger than our comprehension and only He can see that what we are asking for isn’t really what we need. God always answers our prayers, but sometimes it is just not in the way we expected.

Decide why you are writing this prayer. Approach your letter with a sincere heart. Manage your expectations.


What it all boils down to is that the brain needs blood and oxygen to properly function. If you see someone who’s pale and complains of dizziness and fatigue, get them to lie down in an open area - they're probably going to faint. If there's no place for them to lie down, have them sit with their head between their knees. This isn't as good as fully lying down, but it should stave off the urge to faint, at least for the time being. Someone fainting in a crowd of people is not uncommon, largely because it's so hot and there's no airflow between bodies. If you're with someone who's about to faint, get them in an open area where air can flow and the temperature isn't too hot and stuffy.   If you're stuck in a room and there aren't a lot of options, get them near an open door or window. Just a bit more airflow can make all the difference, even if the room is still too hot for comfort. Remove constricting clothing items like ties, belts, and shoes. This will help you assess the cause of the fainting, offer help, and contact their family. Think about the information you’ll need after they’ve fainted,   Ask when they last ate, if they are pregnant, and if they have any medical conditions you should know about. Ask for a close relative or friend’s phone number. A first-time fainter will likely be scared by what they're feeling. They may have blurry vision, be unable to hear properly, and may have a very difficult time standing up. This stage can last minutes before the faint eventually happens or the urge goes away. Let them know that they're likely going to faint, but all will be fine once it's finally over.  Assure them that most fainting isn't dangerous. As long as they don't hit their head (which you will make sure doesn't happen), in a few minutes they'll be fine again. If this person is about to faint, be sure to stay by their side to quite literally catch them if they fall. Do not leave them for help unless you absolutely positively have to. They need you for moral support, too.  Instead, flag down someone,...

What kinds of activities do the members of your family enjoy doing as a group? Do you enjoy going on hikes together, swimming, or visiting new places? Listing some of these on a piece of paper will help you narrow down a list of potential places.Here are some common types of places to plan a vacation:  A beach. The beach has a number of obvious attractions for families. Playing in the sand and rolling waves will provide hours of entertainment for your kids while you will be able enjoy lying in the sun with a great book. A lake. If you are in a more landlocked location, a lake can also provide an excellent water destination for your family. You can teach your children how to use a canoe or kayak while also enjoying the beautiful scenery surrounding the lake. The mountains. If your family loves to hike and learn more about nature, a vacation in the mountains can be a wonderful opportunity to grow closer as a family. A city. If you want to experience museums, inspiring architecture, and new restaurants, then a city can be an excellent vacation destination. A cruise. A cruise can also be a great option, especially for families, since many cruises provide shows and group activities for kids.  An amusement or water park. These will be a big hit with your kids, but you should make sure you will have things to do that will interest you as well. Often your budget will determine how you will pick your destination. A beach vacation in the U.S. can often be more affordable than a beach vacation in another country. Some things that you will need to budget for include:  Transportation costs (airplane, train, or gas money). Be sure you factor in the price of a ticket for each member of your family. If you plan to rent a car or take taxis once you arrive, you should count this in as well. Accommodation.

What makes a professional print look professional is the sharpness of the resolution. What resolution you need will depend on what size project you’re working on. You can usually print anything up to 13 in (33 cm) by 19 in (48 cm) without adjusting the resolution from the standard 72 dpi. For larger projects or projects that will be displayed, increase the resolution to up to 300 dpi.  To resize the image in Sketchbook Pro for Mac, go to “Image,” then choose “Size.” In the menu box that comes up, make sure “Keep Proportions” and “Resample Image” are both checked. Then change the resolution. If you’re using Photoshop, go to “Image,” then “Image Size.” Check the “Constrain proportions” and “Resample Image” boxes. At the bottom of the menu, select “Bicubic” from the dropdown menu for measurements. When you adjust the resolution, it can impact the color and texture of your print. Use the "color" menu to readjust the colors in your print to their original color. If you used custom colors in your original print, note down the numbers that correspond to those colors on Photoshop's color wheel. It will give you a good starting point after you adjust the resolution. If you’re printing your digital art on a poster, banner, or a similarly large project, you might want to use a plug-in to change the size.  2 popular plug-ins for resizing are Perfect Resize and Blow Up. Once you purchase the software online, dialog boxes will pop up to guide you through the installation process. How to change the contrast on your art will depend on what software you use. Most photo-editing software will have a slide cursor you can use to change the contrast. Increase the contrast beyond what looks sharpest on the screen. What looks sharp on the screen might not look quite as sharp printed out. On the “Layer” menu in Photoshop, right-click on “Art Layer” and then choose “duplicate layer.” Then select “Filter,” “other,” and “High Pass.” In the “radius” drop-down menu, select 3, and then click “OK.” Go back to the Layer Palette and choose...

What problem has your business concept been created to address? For example, a fashion designer who makes maternity clothes is probably trying to provide stylish clothes to expectant mothers, which is an underserved market. Based on this example, you can already see the outlines of a brand: stylish, relatively young, and feminine. What are consumers taking away? On the one hand, they get a product or service. However, try to identify any other intangible qualities. For example, women who buy stylish maternity clothes feel comfortable and sexy at the same time. Every company has a brand, whether intentional or not, because consumers already associate emotions and values with your company. Ideally, you’ll build on top of your current brand, but you need to find out what it is. The easiest way is to ask current customers to complete a survey.  A cheap survey method is to use Survey Monkey. On your receipt, you can print the URL for the survey so customers can complete it. Ask consumers what words they would associate with your business. Also ask what frame of mind they are in when they visit your store, and how they feel when they leave. It’s one thing to find out how your current customers see you. However, you might want to be seen differently. For example, a designer of maternity clothes might want their clothes to be seen as sporty, not sexy. Identify the cluster of emotions and sensations you want clients to attribute to your goods or services. Your consumers reveal a lot based on their buying behavior. For example, if you sell wine online, your clients might buy it before buying expensive or cheap items. This buying behavior can tell you how they view your brand.  If you create a website, you can see which websites people visit directly before and after yours. Alternately, you can ask customers in a survey what other stores they regularly shop at.

What puts you in a dark mood? What makes you feel bad? Identify the things that make you spiral into negative emotional states, so you can plan how to attack those triggers and get rid of them from your life.  Do you get angry or upset at a particular time of day? When a particular event happens? When you're around a particular person? What makes you angry? Maybe you just have trouble feeling positive about much of anything. If you struggle to approach even your vacation day with a positive attitude, you might want to get checked out for signs of depression and talk to your doctor. If someone in your life doesn't contribute to your mental well-being, they don't have a place in your life. People who stress you out, criticize you, or bring you down are a waste of your time and energy. Avoid these people or draw firm limits with them.  If you have to hang out with someone who rubs you the wrong way, or you can't stop seeing someone, do your best to draw limits. Be honest with them and tell them that you really need your space and you'd prefer to be left alone. As the old saying goes, if you wish to stay positive, prevent negative-minded people. If you feel good about something, let yourself feel good about it. If you don't care about something, don't let yourself be swayed by the opinions of others. Listen to your own voice and pay less attention to what other people have to say about you or your business. Don't ask for other people's opinion if you don't really need it. What difference does it make it your coworker doesn't like the name you picked for your new pet cat? As long as it makes you happy, that's all that matters. Competition can bring up a lot of negativity in people. Avoid situations that force you to compare yourself or your skills to the skills of others. These situations can breed bad feelings, resentment, and anxiety. If you want to keep a positive mindset, avoid any situation that will force you to compare or compete with others. Work hard and play hard. Fill up your schedule with activities...

What qualities are you looking for in a friend? Determining these things ahead of time will help you know what to look for when you are making new friends. Search out people who have these positive qualities you want in your life.  Some qualities you might consider are kindness, honesty, loyalty, intelligence, or creativity. Think of ways to tell if people possess these qualities. For example, someone who makes good grades in school is probably intelligent. Someone who volunteers at a nursing home is probably kind. Someone who is very active in art class is probably creative. Try to become friends with people who have good morals. A good place to meet people like this is at your church youth group or in an activity group organized through your school. People who get involved in activities and in the community are less likely to cause problems. . Do this before you start hanging out with someone new. If they mouth off in school, get into fights, or bully others, don't get too close to them. Hanging out with likeminded people is important. The saying “you are what you eat” can be applied to the friends you choose as well. If you hang out with motivated, driven people that will begin to rub off on you as well. If you spend time with people who don’t care about school or who are not nice to others, those behaviors could eventually rub off on you. There are probably a lot of people in your life (parents, teachers, counselors) who have more life experience than you and would love to advise you on how to find and keep good friends. Take advantage of their advice by talking to them and asking their opinion. It might help!

What we think of as the brain’s processing speed is actually the ways in which electrical signals travel across axons, which are essentially the wiring connecting different parts of the brain. The white matter of the brain is made up of all of this wiring, and it is fed by blood vessels, meaning that vascular problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can starve the axons of much-needed oxygen and glucose. Therefore, staying fit and getting plenty of aerobic exercise is the number one suggestion by most neurologists to sustain axons and even potentially improve processing speeds. A regular cardio routine has also been linked to an increase in the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus, which is a part of the brain important to learning and processing. Physical health goes hand in hand with brain health. Along with the right amount of exercise, you should also maintain a balanced diet. You can additionally focus on specific foods linked to brain health, such as:  Avocados - Avocados are great at assisting in the prevention of vascular conditions, such as high blood pressure, and healthy blood flow is essential for a healthy brain. Avocados are high in fat, though, so limit yourself to a quarter or half an avocado a day. Blueberries - Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, which means they protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the effects of age-related conditions. Aim for one cup of blueberries per day. Other great antioxidant-rich foods include pomegranate juice and dark chocolate.  Wild salmon - Omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as DHA, are essential for brain function. Deep-water fish such as salmon, sardines, and herring are full of them. Aim to eat a four-ounce serving two-to-three times per week.  Nuts and seeds - Nuts, especially walnuts, and seeds are a great source of vitamin E, which helps to fight cognitive decline as we age. Try to add one ounce a day.  Beets - Beets can increase blood flow to the brain, which may help improve your cognition. You can eat beets in a...

What will the content be? Write it down so you don't forget. Come up with an outline or some sort of organizer to keep track of what you will discuss and/or promote.  There are countless examples among the podcasts already in existence. Podcasts.com lists podcasts by categories, which include comedy, news, health, sports, music and politics. Some examples include Mugglecast, which covers "Harry Potter" novels and films; The Word Nerds, who discuss the etymologies of words and other linguistic matters; Fantasy Football Minute, a podcast to help all fantasy football coaches and general managers; and NPR Science Friday, a podcast version of the weekly show broadcast on local public radio affiliates, just to get your mind rolling.  Listen to some of the more popular podcasts to get a feel for style and content. Draft up an outline to keep the awkward pauses at a minimum. If you're going to be doing interviews with your pets, this will be something you probably want scripted. Most podcasts include a microphone (USB or analog), mixer (for analog mic) or even a new computer. There are different podcast starter packages out there you can buy for around $100.  Don't rely on the standard (and iffy at best) microphone your PC came with if you want to sound as professional as possible. You'll want a full headset with a noise-canceling mic to be positive your listeners aren't getting distracted by the sound of your air conditioner in the corner. For affordable voice recording, a unidirectional, dynamic-type microphone is good. Radioshack sells inexpensive ones and you’ll also find a good selection of higher quality mikes at most music stores.  Is your podcast going to be portable or will you record at home?  Maybe you want to podcast using your smartphone or tablet (Android, iOS). But the basics you'll need are a microphone and voice recording podcast software. You'll only need a mixer if you have multiple inputs. Smaller units with around four inputs will suit all but the most ambitious podcasts. If you have a Mac, you...

What you add depends on the focus of your site. The content of your site is what will determine how popular your site becomes. It is what sets you apart from other gaming sites in your niche.  If you're writing articles, your writing voice will be incredibly important for developing your site's style. Good writing will attract lots of readers, so you should always be striving to improve your skills. Proofread everything you write before you publish it online. Grammatical errors and other problems will lead to a less-professional site, which will drive away readers. If you are using screenshots or video from a video game, ensure that you have the rights to use it, especially if you make a profit on the site. You need to stand out. You are competing with some of the most popular sites that cater to some of the most tech-savvy readers online. Not only are you competing against established sites, you're competing against YouTube channels, Twitch streams, and popular podcasts.  If you're writing a guide on a game, make sure that your guide is clearer and easier to understand than other guides online. Consider adding unique content that can't be found elsewhere, such as the perfect screenshot or a hand-crafted map. If you're going for the news angle, you'll be need to distinguish yourself from the heavy hitters. Getting interviews that the other sites don't and writing high-quality features about the more ignored aspects of the industry can really help separate you from the pack. If you are doing reviews, you'll need to ensure that you cover all of your bases. When reviewing a game, focus on all of the individual aspects, as well as the sum of all the parts. Make note of issues or outstanding moments, and try to maintain a fair view.

What you are offering is free-range at a minimum, so compare like with like. If you're going one step further and raising the chickens in an organic garden solely on organic food to create organic eggs, this will put the price up, but you need to make all these things clear and verify as required by any by-laws.  Make your price cheaper than that of the shops. About $2.00 - $2.50 for a dozen is good (this will vary on your location in the world). It may seem cheap, but if you want to make business, you have to make it worth it for your customers. To price, don't forget to include feed cost or else you end up making a loss. Can you make use of the same distribution network or do you need to use other means? If the latter, what sort of ways do you intend to sell? It might be door-to-door, from your gate, through the internet, etc. Again, know the local laws with respect to the sales process.  Try bakeries, local stores, cooperatives, supermarkets that like stocking local produce, etc. To advertise, simply tell your neighbors about your chickens. They will probably be quite willing to buy eggs from you. If all else fails, you can sell your eggs to your local butcher. Almost all butchers will sell eggs from locals. You should collect the eggs once a day and twice during summer or when it's hot outside, this is to be sure you get the eggs fresh. Store the eggs properly, they can be stored without refrigeration for up to 4 to 5 days, provided it's not hot. The sooner the eggs are out, the better and the fresher they are for the customer.

Find out the price of eggs locally. Find out how eggs are distributed in your area. Collect eggs daily. Sell quickly.


What you eat can affect symptoms of MS, such as inflammation or pain. A paleolithic diet heavy in fruits and vegetables can help you feel better in the long run.  Aim to eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like peppers or oranges. Green vegetables, like spinach or kale, are also good. Vegetables high in sulfur, such as broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy, may also help reduce symptoms. You can eat about 4 oz (110 g) of lean meat a day, like chicken or fish. Reduce or eliminate how much dairy, eggs, and wheat you eat. People with MS are more likely to experience the hug if their bodies are fatigued of if they’re very tired. In either case—especially if you’re performing physical work—sit down and rest. If possible, sleep or take a short nap.  The hug symptoms should decrease. If you lead a stressful life, you may need to find a way to cut back on stress in general in order to decrease the MS hug symptoms. Stress may affect the severity or frequency of your symptoms. If you start feeling constricted or overwhelmed, take a break. Do some light stretching, or pause to meditate.  Go get a massage. A massage may be effective in helping your symptoms. If there's something that usually helps you relax, such as music or a bath, try doing it to see if it helps with your symptoms. The MS hug is more likely to occur if you’re overheated, whether from being out in the sun or from exercising or doing physical labor. Whatever the cause, find a way to cool down. If you’re in the sun, move into the shade or go indoors. If you’re exercising, stop and take a break in a cool room. If you live in at hot climate, you may need to adjust your schedule so that you spend more time outdoors in the early morning and late evening, before the day reaches its full heat. Many MS patients find that wearing a tight shirt or jacket, or knotting a scarf around the abdomen (or wherever MS hug symptoms are felt) can decrease the pain. Tight clothing around the abdomen can fool the brain into thinking that the pain from the MS hug is in fact...

What you eat can have an effect on breakouts. Certain foods, when consumed in high volume, can affect hormone levels and lead to breakouts. Switching to a healthier diet can help eliminate chin acne.  High glycemic are foods that tend to raise insulin levels in the body quickly. This affects our hormones, which can cause breakouts. Empty carbs, like white bread and white rice, sugary snacks, and starchy vegetables like potatoes are considered to be high glycemic foods and may have an affect on your skin.  You might not be getting enough fat. While fat gets a bad rap from dieters, not all fats are bad for us. Essential fats, like those found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fish, can reduce the likelihood of breakouts.  Dairy products have also been linked to the development of skin acne, particularly the over consumption of milk. Try soy milk, almond milk, and other milk alternatives. You might be causing your skin undue stress without realizing it. In fact, we sometimes worsen skin problems in attempt to eliminate skin acne.  Do not scrub too hard when washing your face or when applying moisturizers and skin creams. While you might be tempted to scrub extra when experiencing outbreaks, this is actually counterproductive. The bacteria that caused the acne gets spread around when you put too much pressure on your face. Be gentle when washing and moisturizing.  Clean your face regularly. Many people neglect washing their face, causing bacteria to build up and encourage outbreaks. In the morning, as your face has had a chance to sweat and absorb debris, give your face a quick wash before hopping in the shower. Wash your face before bed as well, regardless of whether you wear make-up. Your skin is exposed to a lot throughout the day.  Be careful of oil-heavy lotions, moisturizers, and shampoos. Such products can clog pores, causing breakouts and increasing the duration of existing acne. Look for products labeled "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic"to used instead.  Wear sunscreen if you're outdoors a lot. The sun can...

What you eat may contribute to acne. A low-glycemic diet can help reduce the severity of your acne. Eat plenty of whole grains, beans, and veggies. Cut back on processed carbs, white bread, pasta, dairy, and refined sugar.  Instead of drinking soda or juice, drink water or herbal tea when you're thirsty. Watch out for dairy in particular. Dairy may worsen acne in some people. Smoking can worsen or cause acne in adults. Talk to your doctor about quitting smoking. They can prescribe you pills or patches to help make the process easier. If you're a regular drinker with cystic acne, reduce how much you drink. In general, men should have no more than 2 alcoholic drinks a day. Women should limit themselves to 1 drink. . Stress can worsen acne, especially for men. While stress is notoriously difficult to control, you can try to incorporate some relaxation techniques to keep your stress more manageable.   Exercise can relieve stress. If nothing else, take a walk or stretch. Meditation can help bring a sense of peace back in your life. If you're busy, squeeze in 5 minute meditation sessions at work, school, or during a lunch break. If you feel yourself becoming overwhelmed, pause and breathe deeply for 10 seconds. Make sure to get between 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Sleep deprivation can cause you to feel more stress, which can cause more acne.

What you really don't want to be doing is flying around a few hours before the party trying to get food and decorations and goodies all sorted out. You also want to make sure that you know who is coming to the party, so you want invitations to go out at least a few weeks in advance.  Make a list of the food you're going to have, the decorations and games you're going to need, what your budget is. This way you won't be caught by surprise when the party suddenly rolls around. Have a people limit. Make it clear to the parents of the kids who are coming whether siblings are allowed, what the age group is going to be, and whether or not they need to stick around with their child (the answer to that is yes, yes they do). Some people will ignore your request, but at least it will be out there and will make the more polite parents do as they are asked. Make sure that your family knows what they need to do to help you out. Do not attempt to run a children's party all on your own. You will end up exhausted and worn out, no matter what, but having people to help with things like set-up and clean-up and the games can make everything 100 times easier.  Ask family members or close friends to lend a hand with the party (especially if they've got a kid coming to it). It can be something as simple as bringing over some food, helping put up decorations, or even pick up the cake if it's a birthday party and you can't. Have your kid help you make the invitations and the decorations. This can be a fun process for both of you. It will lend a kid's touch to the proceedings, which is really what it's all about, right? If you don't do this, there are going to be meltdowns from the children and you'll end up as a de facto babysitter for some of the kids who aren't yours. By having a specific time that you start and end, you'll make sure that people get their kids out of the way before all the tantrums start.  If your child is at the age where they're still napping, make sure that you don't schedule the party right during nap-time....

What your loved one says in therapy is generally protected and kept private. Therapists are not supposed to disclose information without the patient's permission, except in cases where someone is in serious danger (e.g. the patient saying they will commit suicide).  Remember that these laws differ by state and by country, but all therapists are required to disclose the details of confidentiality verbally and in writing. You can ask for a copy of their informed consent agreement prior to making the appointment. Reassure them that being scared of vulnerability is normal, and they're allowed to feel this way. If they're willing to be brave and do it, they may really benefit. According to recent surveys, nearly 89% of people feel somewhat better after having an emotional release like crying, and doctors widely recommend talking about problems as a means of finding relief. Here are things your loved one might say, and ways you can reassure them:    "I'm scared to open up."  "It's okay to open yourself up to someone. It's what we do to friends and significant others. You need to build a relationship with a therapist, and open honesty is the only way to do that."  "What if they say it's my fault or that I'm faking?" "Therapists are trained to be helpful, patient, and kind. Most therapists are really good listeners and helpers. If you do get a bad one, then I promise you can leave and never come back."  "I'm scared to face my feelings." "It's okay to be scared, especially of big feelings that you've been bottling up. You can take your time in therapy, and start small. Therapists are trained to help you deal with big feelings. And you can tell the therapist that you're scared of your feelings, so they can adjust things accordingly." Your loved one can tell the therapist things like "I'm nervous about this and I don't know what to expect" or "I'm scared that you won't believe me," and the therapist can make adjustments accordingly. A good therapist can help them deal with those fears (and a bad one will likely show...

What your pet looks like may a good place to start when you want to name your new pet. Consider things like:  Fur color or length. (For example, if you own a long-hair dog or cat, you can name it "Shaggy".) Distinguishing colored patches. (For example, you may name your pet "Boots" if it has color patches on his/her paws.) Distinguishing features or injuries Eye color (For example, you may name your pet "Frankie" after Frank Sinatra, whose nickname was "Ol' Blue Eyes.") Ear or head shape (If your pet's head is triangular, it might appear fox-like. "Fox" or "Foxy" might be a good name for your pet.). How your pet acts may be another great way to pick the perfect name. Observe your pet to distinguish unique characteristics  Unique vocalizations (bark, meow, squeak, etc). (For example, if your cat has a quiet meow, you may name it "Silence")  Temperament such as happiness or sleepiness. ("Happy," "Sleepy," "Peaceful," "Bossy," or "Cranky" might be good names.) Some of the best names can come from the pet’s uniqueness. If your pet comes has an interesting background, consider it when picking a name. Ask yourself:  Did my pet come from a unique or far-away location? Consider naming it after a city or country such as Cleveland or Italy. Did my pet come from a specific family or shelter? Think about a name after the person you adopted your pet from, maybe like "Sherry" or "Lisa." If your vet has a unique name, such as "Mills," perhaps consider that. Did my pet come overcome a challenging situation. Consider names to reflect that like: "Lucky" or "Chance."
