. Smiling brightens up your face and allows your inner beauty to shine through. It gives the impression of happiness and confidence, while also making you more attractive to others. Smiling more often will help you to look your best, regardless of whether you're wearing makeup or not. A healthy glow can transform your appearance, making your skin appear more radiant and your complexion smoother and more even-toned. If you can achieve a tan naturally, while also wearing protection, that's great. However, tanning beds and other options like these are expensive and occasionally cause skin cancer, so try a spray-on tan (good quality—you don't want to look fake) or for your face, bronzer for an extra little sun-kissed glow. Look for facial moisturizers which will slowly build up a natural-looking tan and leave you looking sun-kissed, no matter the weather. Looking and feeling healthy has a lot to do with what you put into your body. Skin, especially, can be affected by a poor diet and healthy skin is essential to looking good without makeup. Try to cut out as many greasy, fatty, sugary foods as possible and load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats instead.  Remember to drink plenty of water to flush out your system, keep skin looking healthy and prevent you from feeling bloated. Take a vitamin supplement if you feel you are not getting all of your daily requirements from your diet alone. Vitamins A, C and E are all particularly beneficial for the skin. True beauty shines from within, so stop believing that you need your mascara to feel confident and start believing in you. Stand up tall, with your shoulders back and your chin up. Make eye contact with people and smile frequently. Remember that makeup is simply a tool used to emphasize certain features—your natural beauty has been there all along.

. Smiling makes you look friendly, approachable and cheerful. These are qualities that people generally like to associate themselves with, in case you didn't already know! Turns out no one likes approaching strangers and putting themselves out there, so smiling is the first thing you can do to show them you're not scary. Even the most confident of people find it reassuring. And it doesn't cost a thing. That's when you do just that -- you adopt their body positioning and/or facial expression like their reflection in a mirror. It unconsciously tells the other person that you're like them or that you feel the same way. Ever been to a rock concert and you leave feeling that rush of being with 1,000 others all feeding off each other? It's because you're all swaying, moshing, and rocking out together. The same goes in a normal, everyday conversation! Very few words (or none) can be exchanged and you can still feel a bond. If you purposefully go out of your way to do this 24/7, you'll probably be caught. But for 90 seconds, you're good to go. So mirror the angle of their body, put your arms in a similar position, and mirror their face, too. You'll probably feel the exchange of energy, too. Imagine meeting someone who is constantly looking three feet over your right shoulder. You'd practically have to trick yourself into not waving your hand over their face and screaming, "Buddy! I'm over here!" Save them the temptation and make good eye contact. It tells them that you're listening, you're interested, and you're engaged with them and the words they're saying. Not making eye contact is usually mistaken as just being rude. If this is an issue for you, try tricking yourself by staring at the top of their nose, or only looking at them when they're talking and taking breaks while you're talking. You don't need to be looking at them 100% of the time. That'd be intense! This is important to show that you are polite and respectful -- if you don't, you risk looking rude and unapproachable. To paint the right picture in your...

. Soak a cotton ball or paper towel in acetone and rub at old polish until it comes off. This prevents your nails from turning yellow. If you are having trouble choosing a color, see the suggestions below:   Purples and Reds go great with darker skin tones. Blues, Greens, and Nudes look wonderful against medium shade skin tones. Pinks, and most pastels look nice against lighter skin tones. Before you start painting, add a medium to thick layer of vaseline on the skin around your nail. Try not to get any on the nail, or you will have a hard time getting the nail polish to stay. If you want to add a design, do it now. Don't worry if you get some paint on your skin; the vaseline will keep it from sticking! While not necessary, this will help seal your nail polish and keep it from chipping. When they are completely dry, grab a cotton swab and use it to wipe away the vaseline. This will help remove any vaseline that the cotton swab didn't get. You should be free of smudges anywhere that the vaseline touched.

. Some behaviors like exercise can give you moderate protection against heart disease. Being physically active can lower your blood pressure, help to lower your cholesterol levels, and reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Doctors recommend that you aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise (i.e. walking, light aerobics) five times per week or 25 minutes of vigorous exercise (running, basketball, cycling) three days per week. In addition, they recommend moderate to intense strength training two days per week. Subtract 1 point if you are male or female and meet the recommended guidelines. Add 1 point if you do not. . Smoking is not only terrible for your lungs but also increases your chances of getting heart disease. Chemicals in tobacco directly damage heart muscle and blood vessels, while smoking in general promotes atherosclerosis, lowers HDL cholesterol, and raises blood pressure. Add 0 points if you are male or female and a non-smoker. Add 2 points if you are a smoker. Consider yourself a smoker if you have smoked even one cigarette, cigar, or pipe of tobacco in the previous month. Diet is another mildly protective factor against heart disease. Put simply, the foods that you eat can control blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, and high cholesterol. For the best results, try to eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins like fish, chicken, and beans. Avoid sugars, refined carbohydrates, and red meat. Make sure to get plenty of fiber, as well. Soluble fiber, found in foods like oatmeal, is known to reduce “bad” cholesterol in the blood stream. The American Heart Association has heart healthy guidelines. Check these and subtract 1 point if you meet them (either male or female). Add one point if you do not.

. Start by just saying “Hi!”or "Hello!" to the person who sits next to you in class. Talk or complain about your homework, like, “That worksheet took me forever!” As you get to know them, start asking what’s new in their life. It’s hard at first, but the more people you talk to, the more relaxed and confident you’ll feel.  Try sitting with somebody new at lunch. Say, “Wow, your sandwich looks good,” or, “Can you believe the cafeteria served pizza today?” Relax and act normally when you talk to new people--you don’t want it to seem like you’re trying too hard. Let your new friendships progress slowly and naturally, and don’t force anyone to be your friend if they’re not interested. Exchange phone numbers and talk or text them a few times a week. It can be something as simple as, “I’m so bored. What’s up with you?” Invite them to hang out by saying something like, “Do you want to go to the mall this weekend? My mom can drive!”  Use a cell phone if you have one, but it’s okay if you don’t. Ask your parents if it’s okay to talk to your friends on the landline. If they’re worried about you spending too much time on the phone, say you’ll limit it to just half an hour a day. Follow your new friends and share funny videos, link to cool websites, and pictures of places you go. Use your pictures and posts to show who you really are and not the person you think people will like.  Stay safe online. Don’t chat with people you don’t know and never be cruel to someone on social media. If your parents won’t allow you to have a social media account, remember that they’re only looking out for you. Ask them if you can have social media with some limitations, like not following anyone you don’t know. If they say you’re not old enough, ask what age is okay. Maybe it’s only a year or two! In the meantime, focus on making friends in school and in “real life.” Invite your old group when you make plans with your new friends, or hang out with your old friends separately if they don’t want to mix.

Before you steam your face, you need to wash it with room temperature water thoroughly, getting any dirt, grime, make-up, and oils off of your skin before you start. Never steam your face before cleaning your face.

. Stretching after a workout loosens your muscle fibers and kickstarts the recovery process. This is incredibly helpful if you plan on working out the next day as well, so take your time and stretch each muscle for 2-3 minutes. You need to start rehydrating immediately to prevent cramps and give your body time to recover. Drink 2-3 glasses of water in the hour after a workout, and keep drinking a glass an hour for the next few hours as well. Muscles are made of protein, and they rebuild themselves with protein. Supplying your body with good, lean protein gives it the building blocks necessary for recovery Some foods to try include:  Protein shakes Eggs Chicken Tuna Peanut butter. Ice limits swelling, which can drastically shorten your recovery time between workouts. To avoid frostbite, always keep a towel in between your skin and the ice. Apply the ice as follows: 20 minutes on, 40 minutes off. Take time off of a muscle group, especially when lifting, to prevent injury. Your body needs time to recover and build new muscle tissue before being exerted again. If you did all chest exercises one day, consider doing leg lifts the next. The best thing you can do is stop moving. This allows your body the time it needs to rebuild and recover, so don't feel bad about turning on Netflix right after a tough workout. If you need to work out again soon, limit your activity to the basics and give yourself recovery time. Going for a walk or a light jog is a great way to get your blood moving without causing undue strain.

. Studies show that having a pet is associated with increased well-being, decreased loneliness, and with being less preoccupied with one's thoughts than among non-pet owners. If you don't have the energy to give a great amount of attention to a pet, consider a cat. They make great companions.  They are clean and do not have to be walked. They give you love and affection. They give you someone to care for and care about.  They will greet you when you come home, and lie on your lap while you watch TV. If you are not a cat person, get a dog, or whatever pet makes you happiest or provides you with a sense of well-being or worth.  Understand that the pet will not replace your love, nor is she meant to, but animals can make you smile and listen to you when you feel like talking to fill a lonely day. when you are ready or have energy. Volunteer your time to a cause or something that you feel strongly about. Helping others can have a wonderful effect on ourselves. In fact, studies show that helping out others make us happier. Take it slow; start out just once a week for an hour and see how it goes for you, then build up from there as you are ready. When things like your spouse's birthday, or some holidays come to pass, you may experience especially strong feelings of sadness. Also be aware that certain locations, smells, or sounds that are associated with your spouse can trigger feelings of sadness. Although this is normal, there are some steps you can take to mitigate the emotional pain you experience.  For example, if you and your spouse went shopping together at a particular store, you might consider changing where you get your groceries to avoid being overcome by sadness. Or, you might be flooded by emotional pain when you drive by your spouse's favorite dessert place. You could plan for this by taking a different route to get to where you are going. If you can't take a different route, you might build some time into your day to let yourself experience the painful feelings that might arise in response to this...

. Talk to your cat in a calm, quiet voice while washing.  Sometimes cats will try to get out of the tub. If they prefer to have only two of their feet in the water, face them toward the back of the tub and let them stand on two feet. Do your best to hold them still.   Using a well-fitting harness is recommended to safely hold your cat in the bathtub. A harness allows you to hold them in the bath tub by holding onto the harness instead of the scruff their neck or collar, which could hurt your cat. It's easier to bathe your cat if there are two people involved, especially if your cat is rather strong and can kick and wriggle its way out of your hands. One person can restrain by the scruff and the other bathes the cat.  You should plan to be done as quickly as possible without rushing. Be sure your cat can breathe comfortably while restrained. At no point is it recommended to fight with your cat. A scared 10 pound cat can do a lot of damage to a human (or two). You may need to start with just getting the feet and legs wet and then stop. Try more another day and work your way up to a full bath. If you're nervous or excited about the process, your kitty will know and respond by being nervous too. Use a little bit of shampoo and water to wash your cat's neck, body, legs, belly, and tail. Start at the neck and work toward their tail, in the direction of the growth of their fur. Wash the cat in a massaging motion, so they feel soothed, not scared. Act like you're just petting and grooming your cat and that this trip to the bathtub is nothing special. To minimize the risk of creating an ear infection, put a cotton ball—a small wad of soft material used to stop up a wound or an opening—in each ear. Don't forget to take them out at the end of the bath. The cotton may also reduce the noise and make your job easier. If you are giving your cat a flea bath, wet the area around its neck first. Fleas will try to escape to the dry areas of the cat, which can mean a mass exodus of fleas to the head and face while you are...

. The ending of a relationship can often feel similar to the death of a loved one. It's okay to mourn this loss.  Painful emotions cannot simply be swept under the rug. In fact, you will find it much easier to move past your hurt if you confront your emotions without judgement.  Trying to suppress your thoughts will only make them stronger. You may even begin to dream about your ex if you don't allow yourself to experience your thoughts and emotions.  Cry if you want. It feels better when you let all that out, instead of keeping it bottled up inside you forever. Sometimes you just need someone to listen rather than offer advice. Even if you cannot understand why it happened, talking about it can help you accept that the relationship is over.  If you don't feel comfortable talking to a loved one about the breakup, consider seeing a therapist or joining an online support group. It might also help to have an imaginary conversation with your ex about all of your pent-up grievances. This will allow you to talk through all of your feelings without actually having to have contact with your ex, and may help you  find closure. . If you're obsessing about the terrible things you ex did to you, you will never be able to move on! No matter how angry you are, it's important to stop ruminating on these negative thoughts. When dealing with recurring thoughts, it's helpful to confront them head-on. Think about why you are having the thought, how the thought may be distorted or untrue, and what kind of negative effect the thought is having on you in the moment. The more you acknowledge your ruminations, the easier it will be to let go of them. After a breakup, people are often dishonest with themselves about the quality of the relationship or the reasons why it ended. It's important to carefully consider how happy you really were in the relationship and what caused the breakup. This will allow you to move past idealizing what might not have been a great relationship in the first place. It will also help to ask yourself what...

. The first step to delivering a masterful performance is memorizing your lines. If you don’t have to worry about your lines, you’ll be able to concentrate on your mechanics and character development.  Read your lines at every opportunity, recite them over and over, and copy them by hand to help commit them to memory. If you have a long passage, say the first line over and over until you remember it, then add the next line. Add one line at a time until you’re comfortable with the entire passage. Enunciation, or speaking clearly, is a vital part of stage acting. Exaggerate your pronunciation so that audience members in the last row will be able to understand every syllable.  Try practicing tongue-twisting vocal exercises, such as, “A proper copper coffee pot,” or “Knit kilts for nasty cold nights.” Even if you’ll be using a microphone system, your audience won’t understand you if you mumble your lines. Fill your belly up with air and use your diaphragm to support your speech. Try to speak clearly and loudly without changing the tone of your voice. Proper projection sounds like talking, but can be heard at a distance. Shouting, on the other hand, is when the tone of your voice becomes harsh and grating. If you have access to your performance space, have someone sit in the last row while you practice projecting your lines. They can let you know how audible you are and whether the quality of your voice changes. Try to find a large hall or similar space if you don't have access to your performance location. Facial expressions and gestures should be more intense. That way, the emotions they convey will be clear from a distance. However, you don’t want to over-act and seem unnatural.  Try setting up a mirror or video camera and stand as far away from it as possible. Practice exaggerating your expressions and try to find your balance between clarity and staying natural. Getting notes from your director or theater-loving friend is also useful. It helps to know the size of your performance space. In a small intimate...

. The first step to perfect skin is to figure out a skincare routine that works for you. Everybody's skin is unique, so what works for another person may not work for you. Take a long, hard look at your skin and decide whether it's normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or a combination.  If you have normal skin, you're lucky! Your skin doesn't get oily, your pores are small, your skin tone looks even and you rarely suffer from breakouts.  Sensitive skin tend to be very reactive - it may become dry, itchy or irritated depending on the weather, your lifestyle, and the products you use.  Dry skin usually feels tight after cleansing and can suffer from roughness or flakiness, especially when exposed to cold weather or dry air. Dry skin is prone to wrinkling, and tends to have no visible pores.  Oily skin can become greasy and shiny-looking within an hour after washing. The oil may even seep through your makeup and cause it to slide off. Oily skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, and has visible pores.  Combination skin means that your skin can be dry and oily. It might be flaky and rough around the edges, but oily along the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Combination skin tends to have visible pores only in the t-zone area. In addition, whether you have a light skin tone, medium skin tone or dark skin tone will also dictate what issues your skin is prone to, and should be taken into consideration when choosing skincare products. twice a day. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin.  Stick to washing your face twice a day - once in the morning to cleanse any oil that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt and make-up from the day. If you don’t use makeup, you may not need to wash your face twice a day. Pin your hair back before you begin washing, to ensure that you have access to all the edges of your face.

. The first thing you want to do when taking your dog out is to call him and leash him up. You need to get him ready to go outside safely.  Decide whether you'll use a leash or harness/gentle handler. If your dog is still not properly leash trained, a harness or gentle handler, which leashes up around the dog's muzzle, might be a better choice. Younger dogs or dogs who haven't had much experience on a leash might pull and this can cause neck strain with a leash.  Make sure your dog has all the proper licenses required in your area. It's a good idea to have a license with identifying information, such as your dog's name and your phone number. Some states require dogs have tags indicating when their last rabies vaccination was.  Double check to make sure the collar is securely fashioned to the leash. It can be dangerous if dog's get off their leashes especially if your live in an urban area. Once your dog is securely leashed, you can take him outside to poop. It might take a bit for your dog to go, so if it's cold make sure you have the proper outerwear. Decide whether you're going to use the backyard or take your dog for a walk around the block. If you have a big backyard, you might let your dog go there. It's a good idea to designate a certain portion of your backyard for potty time. If your dog is still potty training, make sure to praise him for going outside. Always praise your dog the second he eliminates. You might want to provide a reward as well, like a small treat. If your dog eliminates outside, clean up after him. In many states, you will actually get a fine if you do not remove your dog's feces. Make sure you have bags with you before you take your dog out. You can buy doggy bags at most pet stores or supermarkets. If it's raining or snowing outside, your dog might not want to go out. Make sure you have a game plan in the event of poor weather conditions.  Create an ideal potty area.

. The introduction is the part of the essay in which you should provide a clear outline of your main argument, and a basic outline of the content of your essay. You’re introduction should concisely address the following points:  What your essay is about. What material you will cover in the essay. What your argument is. Try to summarise your main argument in one or two sentences in your introductory paragraph. Directly address and answer the question. For example, you could say “rising house prices alongside falling interest rates make property a very attractive investment as opposed to saving in a bank. While interest rates remain low, the upwards pressure on house prices will continue.”  Having this stated clearly at the start can help you to stay focussed on the question as you work your way through the essay. Try writing out this one or two sentence statement and sticking it up in front of you as you write, so it’s stays at the forefront of your mind. The body of your essay is where you will elucidate your argument, and introduce the evidence that supports it. It’s important that this section of the essay flows and has a clear order. For the example question, you could start by having the first few paragraphs discuss the effect of rising house prices on the economy. This could be followed by the paragraphs which address the impact of falling interest rates. A third section could bring the two elements together and examine how each impacts on the other.  Try to begin each paragraph with a sentence that outlines what the paragraph will cover. Look at the opening sentence of each paragraph and ask yourself if it is addressing the essay question. In each paragraph of the body of your essay you should provide evidence for the paragraph’s opening sentence. Bring in appropriate evidence from your research and engage directly with this material.

. The most common way of checking the key signature of the song you are in is by observing the notation in the clef at the beginning of your music. This will either have a number of sharps (#), flats (♭), or nothing at all. This will help you identify the key.  When there are no flats or sharps in the starting clef of your song, your song is in C major. The relative minor of C major is A. Major keys: G (one sharp), D (two sharps), A (three), E (four), B (five), F# (six), C# (seven), C♭ (seven flats), G♭ (six flats), D♭ (five), A♭ (four), E♭ (three), B♭ (two), F♭ (one). Minor keys: E (one sharp), B (two sharps), F# (three), C# (four), G# (five), D# (six), E♭ (six flats), B♭ (five flats), F (four), C (three), G (two), D (one). Some songs change key at various points throughout the song. You'll need to account for these key changes while soloing by key. Scan each line of your music and look for:  A double bar line. This could be located toward the beginning, middle, or end of any line of music in your song. Natural signs (♮). These are like an eraser that deletes the sharps or flats in your key previously. Each natural sign removes one sharp or flat. New accidentals. "Accidental" is the term used to describe any key change (#, ♭, ♮). These will indicate your new key. Playing your solo in the same key as your song is the simplest way of ensuring you rock your solo in a complementary key. However, you could also play in keys that are harmonic to the key of your song. Keys sharing the same number of sharps or flats, or keys different by only a single sharp or flat on the Circle of Fifths, generally share many tones, creating harmony. There are many different ways you can execute this. You can play the key in scales, you can break up chords and solo those notes, or you could even transition between the notes of harmonic keys, like the ones surrounding the key you're playing in on the Circle of Fifths. If you hit a note that's dissonant, don't panic. Hold the note for a moment, and then scale up or down with whole or...

The more you pay attention and listen closely, the easier it will be for you to settle down when you're supposed to, and do your best work possible.  If you struggle to pay attention in class, talk to your parents and your teacher to let them know. It's possible you may not being challenged enough, or might have some behavioral problems that need help so you can do your best.

. There are different types of tongue cleaning tools. Scrapers are the most common. Tongue brushes, while relatively recent, are also relatively common. “Tongue cleaners” are common tools that have a series of soft ridges for pulling across the tongue.  Research shows both tongue scraping and tongue brushing to be equally effective in reducing the plaque.  Some combination scraper-brushes are also available, enabling you to brush while you scrape. Toothbrushes with a tongue scraping feature were found to be just as effective as a separate tool. There are many different materials that tongue cleaning devices are made out of. Metal, plastic, and silicon are common materials. You may find that you prefer one material over another. Give a few different ones a try.  Stainless steel and copper are two common metals used. Scrapers made from these metals can also safely get placed in hot water for sterilization. Plastic scrapers tend to much less expensive, but are not as durable, and will need to be regularly replaced. Silicon edges may help to make scraping your tongue more comfortable. Because there are many different companies that produce similar products, it is important to look at the little differences. Contrast pricing, aesthetic and user reviews online, or even look for coupons before you shop. Ask an employee at the store about what brands are most popular. Many grocery stores and pharmacies will sell name brand tongue cleaning tools. You can find a tongue cleaner at Indian groceries or order them easily online. The curved copper ones are simple, highly effective, and last a long time. Or you could ask your dentist or orthodontist for recommendations.

. There are no shortcuts to being a better soccer player other than playing as much as you can. That said, you'll get much better much faster if you're up against the toughest competition you can handle. Try out for a team that pushes you, or, if that's not possible, make challenges for yourself. Go join the local adult pick-up game (just bring cleats and jump on the field,) get your teammates to play with you in the offseason, and keep practicing alone when there is no one to join you. If you have no players around to jump in with, go shoot against a wall, pass back and forth with a fence, or juggle and work on your tricks in the backyard. While all soccer players need to train to get the most out of their play, all players need to train differently. By thinking about your position's specific needs you can get the most out of your body and be the biggest asset to your team.   Goalies: Focus on your strength, reaction time, and a slim, quick figure that can move in an instant.  Defenders: Must be physically strong, both upper body and lower, to win any tackle or challenge. Need great sprinting speed as well, and should be fit.  Midfielders: Must be able to run and run and run. Quick decision making, and the touch and passing ability to back it up, are essential.  Forwards: Should be fast and able to jostle with strong defenders. They also tend to be endurance runners, able to jog around all game to make space and still win a sprint to the end line. Great soccer players rarely stand still. As defenders, you are constantly shutting down space and reacting to the offense. As a midfielder, you're constantly scanning the field and moving to the ball, opening up space in the middle. As a striker, you're constantly trying to outfox a defender, slipping by them or disappearing when they are ball watching. You must always be moving, keeping the field open and dynamic and the other team guessing -- standing still makes you almost useless to your team.  Check to the ball, even if you don't get it. As soon as you appear,...

. There are several different sizes and corresponding sounds of ukuleles, and it is important to select the best option for you. As a beginner, you will most likely want to choose a cheaper option rather than investing in an expensive ukulele, but this may not be the case. There are four different styles of ukuleles.  A soprano ukulele is the most common style. It is recognized by its small size and classic “uke” sound. This is the cheapest style of ukulele and is most often chosen by beginners. It is on average 21” long and has anywhere from 12-14 frets.     The alto ukulele (or concert ukulele), is the next size up from a soprano. It measures 23” long and has 15-20 frets. Because of its slightly bigger size, people with large hands find it easier to play than a soprano ukulele. It also has a slightly fuller sound than a soprano.     The next step up from an alto ukulele is the tenor ukulele. The tenor ukulele is 26” long and has 15+ frets. It has an even richer sound than the concert ukulele and can reach more notes because of its extended fretboard.     The largest ukulele is the baritone ukulele, which is 30” or more and has 19+ frets. It is tuned the same way as the four lowest strings on a guitar, which makes the two instruments very similar. Because of its size, it loses the classic ukulele sound, but is a good option if you want full, rich music.     Some ukuleles are a different shape, namely flukes, pineapples or fleas. A fluke is shaped like a triangle, a pineapple is shaped like, well a pineapple (oval shape), and a flea is shaped like a pineapple ukulele with a flat bottom. The one pictured in the illustration is a pineapple.    The ukulele has an anatomy of parts slightly different than a guitar or other stringed instrument. Before you begin playing it, make sure you understand the basic layout of the instrument.  The body of the uke is the hollow wooden part that makes up the majority of the instrument. It has a small hole under the strings that you strum above.     The neck of the uke is the...

. There is a general expectation that when buying an engagement ring you should spend about three months of your salary on it. You shouldn't feel obligated to do this, as this idea came about as a result of a diamond seller's marketing campaign.  In some cases, a less expensive diamond may suit you and your partner's sense of style and financial situation better. Having a firm price range will help prevent you from being upsold when purchasing your diamond. Diamond merchants are salespeople, and will try their hardest to get you to buy the most expensive diamond. If you're planning on surprising your partner with a diamond ring and a proposal, this may not be feasible. Still, you can bring up the topic as a "what if" situation, or you can get your partner on the topic by asking them their opinion on the rings of married friends and relatives. A diamond ring is a significant investment and symbolizes a lasting commitment. Some diamond sellers have a limited return policy in case your partner doesn't like the ring you've chosen, but you should be sure to ask the seller about this if the ring is a surprise. You may notice that your partner prefers jewelry or accents that are gold in color. In this case, you may want to consider a gold band for your diamond ring. Similarly, if they prefer large, ornamental pieces, you may want to select a stone or setting that is more ornamental. If you don't have the keenest understanding of your partner's fashion sense, you might want to ask family or a trustworthy friend what kind of diamond or setting you think might be best. There are many different variations of stone and setting, and this can make your buying the perfect diamond ring difficult. Current trends usually feature whimsical, organic, and vintage designs, like celestial, floral, and scrollwork inspired motifs. You might choose diamonds or settings in the shape of:  The stars and moon An astrological sign The shape of a favorite animal Elegant and sweeping architecturally inspired designs You may want a specific...

Try not to worry about what others may think of you. Learn to follow your own path and do the things that you want to do. Accomplish something in your life that you have always wished to accomplish. Start taking classes, join a club, or do something else that you know you’re great at. Accomplishing something that makes you feel strong will improve your confidence. Everyday write down something that you are proud of, whether it be an act of kindness towards someone or a positive trait that you just discovered. Whenever you need to boost your confidence, look back to your journal and remind yourself that you are wonderful in so many ways. Spend time with people who love you and whom you love. Having supportive people in your life will help you build confidence in a multitude of situations. This includes family, friends, and significant others.

. There's no normal type of clothes to wear. Styles change all the time and it can be very difficult to keep up. Wear whatever is comfortable and affordable for you, but make sure the clothes are as flattering as possible.  Skinny jeans and crop tops may be in, but just because they're popular or "normal" doesn't mean they're necessarily right for your body type. Wear clothes that will flatter your figure and feel comfortable, not something that will leave you feeling unconfident or exposed. Don't be a wannabe. Don't be afraid to have your own style. If you think throwback basketball jerseys and athletic shorts are cool, you're in good company. If you think rugby shirts and khaki pants look good, you're in safe waters. The important normal constant is that whatever you wear is clean and form-fitting. It's a good idea to pay attention to what other kids are wearing, not because you must conform and wear the same thing, but so you can at least have some concept of the average dress wear. Then, if you choose to go in another direction, you'll be aware of what you're doing and not end up wearing plaid grandpa pants and golfing shoes to school because you think it's normal.  You don't have to go to expensive stores to dress normally. Box stores like Target, Walmart, and other outlets usually have sale items that are affordable and current. At thrift stores, try to find the newest cleanest clothes available that are in your size. In middle school especially, it can seem that all anyone cares about is getting the next "must have" clothes trend which are usually expensive and will be forgotten in another six months anyway. . If you want to look normal, you don't have to do anything fancy with your grooming, however, a little effort will go a long way.

. These are points where the graph reaches a local maximum (a point higher than the points on either side), or local minimum (lower than the points on either side). The tangent line always has a slope of 0 at these points (a horizontal line), but a zero slope alone does not guarantee an extreme point. Here's how to find them:  Take the first derivative of the function to get f'(x), the equation for the tangent's slope. Solve for f'(x) = 0 to find possible extreme points. Take the second derivative to get f''(x), the equation that tells you how quickly the tangent's slope is changing. For each possible extreme point, plug the x-coordinate a into f''(x). If f''(a) is positive, there is a local minimum at a. If f''(a) is negative, there is a local maximum. If f''(a) is 0, there is an inflection point, not an extreme point. If there is a maximum or minimum at a, find f(a) to get the y-coordinate. The "normal" to a curve at a particular point passes through that point, but has a slope perpendicular to a tangent. To find the equation for the normal, take advantage of the fact that (slope of tangent)(slope of normal) = -1, when they both pass through the same point on the graph. In other words:  Find f'(x), the slope of the tangent line. If the point is at x = a, find f'(a) to find the slope of the tangent at that point. Calculate −1f′(a){\displaystyle {\frac {-1}{f'(a)}}} to find the slope of the normal. Write the normal equation in slope-point form.

. This can be a huge goal, such as “find a new job,” or a smaller goal such as “take an art class.” To help you set a goal that you’re likely to accomplish, consider the following:    Who is responsible for achieving this goal? Most of the time, this will be you, but if your goal includes others -- such as “spend more time with my family” -- they’ll also be responsible for accomplishing it.  What are the details of your goal? One of the reasons people don’t accomplish their goals is because they’re too vague. Be as concrete as possible. For example, “Learn to be artistic” is too big. “Take a painting class to explore my artistic side” is more manageable.  When will you have each step of the goal accomplished? Many goals, especially big or complex ones, need multiple stages. Figure out exactly when you will have each step finished. For example: “Look for art classes in my community this week. Sign up for a class and buy supplies next week. Begin taking classes the week after that.”  Where will these goals take place? For many goals, such as “exercise more,” having an idea of where you will do the work can be helpful. For example, if you want to exercise three times per week, decide whether you want to go to the gym, go running, exercise at home, or take a class.  How will you accomplish each stage? This helps you define the goal’s framework. For example, if your goal is “Go to France,” figure out what actions you will need to take at each stage, such as “look at travel guides and websites,” “talk with friends who’ve been to France,” “book reservations,” “get a passport,” etc.  Why are you doing this? Clarifying your motivation makes you more likely to accomplish your goal. What will accomplishing this goal do to help you achieve your passion? ” Self-help guru Martha Beck uses this phrase to describe the fear that can keep you from trying out new things. The “yeah” is the excitement or inspiration that drives you to seek your passion. The “but” is the intrusion of fear that keeps you from pursuing it.  The next...

. This drug works quite well against most protozoa parasites and is one of the most commonly prescribed.  Typically, you'll take this drug in oral form, but the dosage may vary depending on the type of parasite and your personal medical history. The treatment regimen usually lasts for several days, though. In severe cases, you may receive metronidazole intravenously. Common side effects include nausea, skin rashes, and vaginal infections. When taken orally, the drug is also known to leave a bad taste in the back of the mouth. Most doctors will prescribe this drug if you're suffering with pinworms or roundworms in the small intestine.  The drug gets into your system and paralyzes the parasites there, thereby allowing your body to flush them out more effectively. You'll typically take this drug as a one-time dose. Common side effects include rashes, dizziness, fatigue, and abdominal pain. This is a very powerful drug usually used against tapeworms, but your doctor may prescribe it for other types of parasitic worms, too.  This drug poisons the parasite and makes it unable to absorb sugar, causing it to die within the body. The medication is delivered orally but the dosage will depend on the severity of the infection and the weight of the patient. Common side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. Depending on the type of parasite and your personal medical history, there is some chance that your doctor will prescribe a different course of drug therapy other than the primary three.  Each medication works differently. Some require one dose, while others may require continued doses that lasts for multiple weeks. Regardless of the specifics, though, you should take the drug as prescribed to maximize its effectiveness. Other drugs used to treat giardia and similar protozoic parasites include tinidazole, which is given in a single dose, and nitazoxanide, which is taken in an easy-to-swallow liquid form.  Mebendazole is another drug commonly used against pinworms and...

. This is probably the easiest type of game to make, although not everyone is interested in a game without graphics. Most text-based games focus on a story, a puzzle, or an adventure that combines story, exploration, and puzzles. Here are several free options:   Twine is quick and easy to use in your browser. StoryNexus and Visionaire add more gameplay options and static images.  Inform7 is a more powerful tool with a large community of supporters. GameMaker and Stencyl are good options that work for any genre, and they give you the option to use programming without requiring it. Scratch! is another tool you can use for browser games. A 3D game is a much bigger challenge than a 2D game, so be prepared for a long project and a lot of hard work. Spark and Game Guru and unity will save you some of this effort by letting you build the world without programming. If you already have some programming knowledge or want to start learning how to code, try the extremely popular game engine Unity. If you want to craft your own 3D models instead of using pre-made assets, you'll need 3D modeling software such as 3DS Max, Blender, or Maya. Even if you have a programming background, you may want to use one of the engines above for your first game, and you shouldn't feel obligated to try a different approach just because it is more difficult. That said, some people enjoy the extreme level of control they get from building a game from scratch. Ideally, program the game in an Integrated Development Environment such as Eclipse rather than a text editor, so you can put together everything you need in one convenient project. While you can program a game in almost any language, learning C++ will give you a powerful tool that has plenty of game-development resources and tutorials online.

. This is the skeleton for your project, and will serve as the base for future coding. Pseudo-code is similar to code but won't actually compile. Instead, it allows programmers to read and parse what is supposed to be happening with the code. Pseudo-code still refers to the syntax of the programming language, and the pseudo-code should be structured just like regular code would be. You can use your existing prototype as the base for your new program, or you can adapt the prototype code into the larger structure of your full program. In either case, make good use of the time that you spent working on and refining the prototype. This is the real meat of the process. Coding will take the longest time, and will require numerous compiles and tests to ensure that the code works. If you are working with a team, starting from pseudo-code can help keep everyone on the same page. Use your programming language's comment feature to add comment to all of your code. Not only will this help anyone who works on your program figure out what the code does, but it will also help you remember what your own code does when you come back to the project later.

. To get started, cast on the number of stitches that you will need to get your desired blanket width. To determine how many stitches to cast on, check the gauge of your yarn and needles or use the yarn label to guide you.  You can determine how many stitches to cast on by multiplying the gauge by the desired dimension. For example, if you want a lap blanket that is 24 inches wide and your gauge is 4 stitches per inch, then you would need to cast on 96 stitches. A 96 stitch cast on would result in a small lap blanket. If you want a medium sized blanket, then try casting on 120 stitches. For a large lap blanket, cast on 160 stitches. For an extra-large lap blanket, cast on 200 stitches. After you have cast on your stitches, knit across all of these stitches using a basic knit stitch. However, if you want to try a different stitch or add some embellishment stitches, then you may also do that. Getting your blanket to its final length will take time, especially if you are using a medium or light weight yarn. Try to be patient and just work on the blanket in short sessions every day. Over time, the length will grow. Just keep in mind that it may take several weeks of regular work to complete a blanket. by casting off and weaving in the ends. When you have finally achieved the desired length, you can finish the blanket. To do this, you will need to cast off your stitches and weave in any loose ends that were left when you switched skeins. Use a plastic needle to weave in the ends. You can simply sew them into the edges of the blanket to hide them.

. To start, you'll need to make sure your tree gets lots of water because in the first few hours that it's settling in, it will need plenty and will drink like crazy (possibly a full gallon/3.7 liters on the first day). (Also see Tips below.)  Afterward, you will need to add water almost every day. Not only is regular water good for the tree's vitality, but a well-watered tree is less dry and therefore, less combustible. Make sure you never let the water level go below the base of the tree. Some people put an aspirin in the water to help keep it fresh. Some also add Ginger Ale, Sprite™ or another similar soda drink (fizzy lemonade) to feed their tree. Be careful, though; if you accidentally bump the can whilst watering the tree, you might end up with very sticky presents! It is a good idea to check occasionally for sap that has leaked from your tree onto nearby furnishings or floor coverings. The sooner you catch any sap leakages, the easier they are to remove. Use a dustpan and brush or a handheld vacuum (many needles going into a larger vacuum can easily clog it up; this may even break the machine, whereas a handheld version works well because you are obliged to keep emptying it as you work).  This is a daily ritual, unless you want to have an enormous pile of needles to clean up when you finally move the tree. The needles are unsightly and potentially hazardous for curious pets and infants.     A well-watered tree will lose fewer needles but all fresh trees will lose some needles.

. Tobacco and secondhand smoke causes reduced sperm count in men. To increase sperm count and potentially increase fertility, work to cut back or quit smoking altogether. Avoid locations with concentrated secondhand smoke.  Quitting smoking can be extremely difficult, so reach out to a doctor for help. A qualified doctor can work on a healthy, safe way to taper you off tobacco products. Seek out support. Ask friends and loved ones to support you in your effort to quit smoking. There are also support groups, online and in-person, that seek to help people quit tobacco products. Men who consume high amounts of alcohol often have lower sperm counts. If you do drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Stick to one or two drinks a night, if any. If you do not drink, do not start. If you believe you have a drinking problem, this may be affecting your sperm count. Talk to a doctor or therapist about how to best quit alcohol. The active ingredient in marijuana, THC, has been shown to reduce sperm count. It can also weaken sexual drive, which can reduce overall fertility. If you're looking to increase your sperm count, you should limit or eliminate your use of marijuana. While studies are still inconclusive, some evidence exists that an excess of heat around the groin can lower sperm count. If you're looking to increase fertility, try to stay cool as much as possible. Be particularly aware of the temperature of your groin region.  Try wearing loose-fitting clothing around the groin, such as loose underwear and shorts. Reduce the amount of time you spend in hot baths, saunas, and hot tubs. Avoid using your laptop on your lap. Instead, set it on a solid surface. Exposure to heavy metals, radiation or x-rays, and pesticides have been shown to decrease sperm production and even cause infertility in men. If you work with chemicals or around environmental pollutants, wear protective clothing at all times to protect yourself.

They may reciprocate with similar kisses across your body.  Give them light, gentle kisses to arouse them and be suggestive. As you do this, pay attention to their overall body language. If your partner seems stiff or disinterested, try massaging their neck and back, for instance. For an extra flirty touch, you can trace your partner’s lips with your tongue before you go in for the kiss. Maintain eye contact. When you want to start the kiss, look your partner deep in the eyes, and slowly bring your head towards theirs. As you do this, slightly tilt your head so you can align your lips. Maintaining eye contact helps increase the passion and ensure you do not miss. When your lips are nearly touching, gently shut your eyes and go for it! Shutting your eyes helps you focus on the feeling of your partner’s lips, so you can enjoy the moment. Close your eyes when it feels right, rather than planning for the perfect moment. Do what feels natural when kissing your partner. After you make the initial kiss, go back for 2-3 more kisses in a row. Your partner will likely get the hint that this is not just a simple kiss! If your partner tries to French kiss you, you can try pulling back at this point. This will make them want to kiss you even...

. Using an unusual object to house your tank provides it with a lot of character right off the bat. Find an old console TV for a larger tank in your attic or at a thrift store.  Or, if you don't have room for a new piece of furniture, create one out of an older model TV pre-dating flat screens.  Choose your TV based on the requirements of your fish, if you have already chosen which fish you want to include. Check online for guidelines, and make sure to account for the full-grown size of your fish.  You will need to gut out the TV components and place a tank inside the shell.  Ask your parents or another adult to help you if you aren't comfortable with cutting tools. You could also use an old computer monitor for a similar look.   Use any substrate, plants, and other decorations you like.  You may want to focus on traditional materials to complement the vintage look of the TV.  Or mix it up by using more modern, colorful floor materials and decorations. While you can buy one of these pre-made, they can be expensive.  Instead,  make your own aquarium in the dimensions you want and top it with a large piece of wood or stone, or a sheet of glass.  Make sure to include an opening to feed your fish and include necessary equipment, like a filter. Or find an object you like at a thrift store that contains a large empty space to insert a tank. Purchase a pre-made fish tank sink or bathtub/fish tank combo. Fish tank toilets are even available.  Get all three, paint your bathroom blue or blue-green, and the whole room will look like a fancy aquarium. If you are good at carpentry, you may be able to make your own sink aquarium.   Follow basic instructions and include space for plumbing features.

. Weak personalities are somehow repellent. Pompous personalities are obnoxious and repellent in obvious ways. It's confidence that's attractive and draws us in like moths to flames. So in that 90 seconds you have, hold your head up high, throw your shoulders back, and smile. You got this. You're cool, calm, and collected. You're someone people would want to be around, you know? And if you're in a situation that calls for it, make your handshake firm. A weak handshake is a turn off for most people, especially in professional settings. You want a handshake that says, "I'm here! Here I am!" and not, "I'm here, I guess. Here I am?" No thank you. People judge on first impressions (and this includes your clothes) so make sure you dress appropriately for where you are. Nobody likes to see someone in home clothes at a fancy restaurant or someone with make up caked on their face at the gym. As much as we hate to admit it, clothes make up so much of what we think about people -- it's just so easy, we can't help but automatically judge. So dress for the occasion, whatever it is. Think of the small things, too. Men might forget what their flashy, shiny watch says about them and women about their long, dangly, feather-y earrings. Everything down to your shoes, your make-up, your hair-style, and your jewelry adds a data point others can collect about you. So pick out your outfits carefully if you're looking to nail that first impression! This is a lot of the "seem similar" you've been hearing. Since people like people that they think are like them and have a certain amount of things in common (especially in the first 90 seconds of meeting), it's a pretty safe bet to adopt the attitude they show the world. So whether they're prim and proper or anti-establishment, if it's something you can pick up on easily, it's something you can adopt easily, too. In other words, if they're hands-on, roll up your sleeves. If their tie is undone and their shirttails coming out, feel free to kick off your shoes. If they have a large latte...

. Weight loss and weight gain are tied to how many calories you consume and burn. As a rule, adult females need between 1,600 and 2,000 calories per day. But numbers of individuals vary according to age, activity level, or other factors.  To know your own needs, you can first calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR. This tells you how many calories your body needs for life-sustaining processes. The equation for women is usually: 655.1 + (9.6 * weight [kg]) + (1.8 * size [cm]) − (4.7 * age [years]) Now, adjust for your activity level. Multiply your BMI by one of the following numbers: 1.2 for sedentary lifestyle, 1.375 for light activity, 1.55 for moderate activity, 1.725 for very active, and 1.9 for extra active. For example, say that you are 55-years old with a height of 5’ 6’’ and a weight of 145 pounds. Your BMR is about 1,322 calories. Since you’re moderately active, multiply 1,322 by 1.55 to get 2,050. This is the amount of calories you need to consume each day to maintain your body weight. It takes a deficit of about 3,500 calories to lose a pound of body weight per week. Once you have your number, you can try this by counting calories or keeping a food journal. Just be sure to do it safely. Don’t consume less than your BMR per day and don’t ever go below 1,200 per day. In fact, it’s probably best to talk to a nutritionist to make sure you’re being safe. As a rule, processed and highly refined foods are less healthy for you. They usually have less nutrients (vitamins and minerals), more fat, more additives, and more sodium. It’s best to avoid these sorts of foods and replace them with less processed whole grains, fruit, and vegetables.  Examples of processed foods include highly refined grains and simple carbohydrates, such as white bread, white rice, and products that use refined flours. Avoid also junk foods, fast foods, and things that contain transfats and corn syrup. Try to replace processed foods with healthy alternatives. Instead of processed breakfast cereal, have a bowl of oatmeal made from...

. Wet your hands with hot water, and apply soap. Rub your hands together, making sure to wash the tops and bottoms of your palms, all of your fingers, and your wrists. Rinse your hands with warm water. There is no need to use antibacterial soap. Any soap works just as well. Run your burn under cold water to help cool the skin and reduce any pain. Apply a small amount of soap to the area, and gently move it around. Rinse the burn in lukewarm water, and gently pat it dry with a clean towel. Washing your burn with soap and water can help prevent a serious infection.  Any type of soap can work for this purpose. If possible, opt for unscented soaps to reduce irritation. The soap does not need to be antibacterial. It is important to remove any jewelry that may be constricting blood flow to the area of the burn prior to washing. Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment (such as Neosporin) to the affected area. Antibiotic ointment can help to further prevent infection, while keeping the skin moist. If you are experiencing pain, apply aloe vera to soothe your skin, but only if you have a first or second degree burn. Just a thin layer of aloe vera gel, or aloe vera taken directly from an aloe plant, can help ease your discomfort. You can also take ibuprofen or other over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling. Open blisters are prone to infection. Your body will heal burn blisters in time. Do not break or pop any blister that results from a burn, as the blister protects and keeps the wound sterile. If a blister should break on its own, thoroughly cleanse  the area with soap and water.

. When pain hits, your body naturally changes its breathing pace to an agitated level. Instead of giving in to this reaction, modify your breathing patterns and keep them controlled. Breathe in slowly and mentally repeat the word, “In.” Then, exhale slowly until your lungs are completed cleared and mentally say, “Out.” Standing or sitting in one place for too long can worsen pain, so take a 1-minute break every 15 minutes just to stand up, stretch out, or walk around. If you’re worried about looking unproductive, give your breaks a “purpose.” Walk to the water cooler, check the fax machine, or find a reason to consult a colleague. Tell anyone who asks that taking short breaks even improves productivity! , if possible. Stand up in your cubicle and reach toward the sky. Then, bend down slowly and touch your toes, if you can. Or, in the morning in bed, spend a few minutes stretching out your legs and back. Stretching helps to loosen up muscles and joints, relieving pain in the process. If you are unsure about how to do it, you can even find videos online showing short stretching sessions. Take a walk outside for 10 or 15 minutes. Even sitting outside on a bench and reading a book can lower your stress levels and help you to reduce your pain. Find an activity that works for you and stick with it. . This is a technique where you flex and then relax each muscle group in your body. A therapist can show you how to activate these muscles in sequence quickly and effectively. The goal of this exercise is to flush the pain out and retake control over your body. Download a few instructional videos or audio guides onto your phone and listen to these as you work your way through a quick routine during lunch or a break. Both Qigong and Tai Chi are practiced at a slow pace and require bodily control and close concentration.

. When replacing Windows 7 with a different operating system, you will lose some or all of your files. The best way to prevent permanent loss is by transferring all of the files that you want to keep to an external hard drive. Even though most modern operating systems give you the option of keeping your files when installing the operating system, backing up your files is a safety precaution that you shouldn't skip. To install a new operating system on Windows, you must have the operating system's install tool on a DVD or flash drive, and the disk or flash drive must be inserted into your computer. If you don't have a version of the operating system you want to download, you can download one for the following operating systems:  Windows 10 Windows 8 Windows 7 Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. It's in the bottom-left corner of the Start window. A pop-up window will appear. You'll see this option at the top of the pop-up window. Clicking it will prompt your computer to restart. Most computers will display a message on startup that says "Press [key] to enter setup" or something similar. This key may vary, so look for this message when your computer restarts to confirm the key you should press to access the BIOS. Consult your computer's manual or online support page to confirm your computer's BIOS key. You'll use the arrow keys to select this tab. The Boot tab may instead say Boot Options, depending on your computer's manufacturer. Use the arrow keys to highlight a device from which to boot. There will be two options you can use:  For a USB flash drive, select the Removable Devices option. For a disc installation, select the CD-ROM Drive option. Press the + key until your boot option is first. This will cause your computer to restart from your selected boot option, thereby beginning the installation process for your selected operating system.

. When someone close to you is having a mood swing, it's important to let him talk it out as long as he's not becoming aggressive with you. Sometimes, a listening ear can help someone calm down. Try to pay attention to what he's saying. Even if you do not agree, try to at least understand his perspective.  Avoid distractions, like the TV, computer, and your phone. When he's talking about his mood, give him your full attention. Show that you're listening by making eye contact and nodding when appropriate. Avoid blaming or criticizing him for his mood. However, you do not have to listen if someone is being aggressive towards you. If the bad mood is directed at you, you should leave the room rather than being insulted. You do not have to listen actively when you're being berated. Oftentimes, someone with mood swings may understand they're being irrational. You want to make sure they feel heard. Do not try to talk him out of a bad mood. Instead, say you hear how he feels.  Avoid saying things like, "I know you're stressed about work, but that's irrational. You don't have anything to worry about. It'll be fine." Instead, try something like, "I understand you're very stressed. Work can be stressful, but I'm here to listen." Again, you should not allow him to express feelings when he's being negative or aggressive towards you. If the conversation gets ugly, leave the room. If someone is having a mood swing, try your best to stay calm for them. This will prevent the situation from escalating and potentially becoming unmanageable. Instead of engaging with someone's anger, leave the situation.  Oftentimes, someone with mood swings will attack or lash out at you. These situations are the most difficult to stay calm in, but remember getting defensive will make it worse. You do not have to take put downs or verbal abuse. If someone is making accusations or yelling at you, walk away instead of getting pulled into an argument. Say something like, "You're clearly upset right now.

. When you are singing, it is important that you take deep breaths and breathe from your diaphragm or abdomen. This will ensure that you are not keeping too much air in your throat and placing strain on your voice. In order to ensure that you are breathing with your diaphragm, try the following exercise.  Stand up straight and place your hands around the sides of your waist (between your pelvic bone and lowest rib). Then, take a deep breath in and try to make your fingers expand. Alternatively, you can lie on your back on the ground and inhale. Try to make your stomach, not your chest rise when you inhale. This will help you learn what it feels like to breath from your diaphragm. When you are singing, you want to try to inhale through both your nose and mouth. If you only inhale through your nose, you will struggle to intake enough air. Similarly, if you only breathe through your mouth, you will put strain on your vocal cords by drying them out. This can actually impact the quality of the sound you produce. Practice breathing in through both your mouth and nose while you sing. Another important aspect of singing and breathing is slowly exhaling. This will allow your tone to remain even while you sing. In order to practice controlled breathing, take a deep abdominal breath, then release your breath and make "a “ssss”" sound. Continue to exhale for approximately ten seconds. Continue to practice this technique and work on creating a consistent “ssss” sound throughout the entire exhalation.

. When you can't stop the noise at its source, you can do your best to keep it out. Sound-proofing your home will help you rest easier at night and keep your home quieter during the day as well. If you can't sound-proof your entire home, you might want to invest in sound-proofing your bedroom, so you'll have at least one respite from the noise when you just can't take it anymore.  If you don't want to reconstruct your walls and floors with sound-proof building materials, consider the less expensive option of installing carpeting and wall coverings that soften and absorb sounds. Acoustic foam panels are a cheap, easy-to-install option when you want to quickly soundproof a room. For an even easier solution, try hanging blankets on the walls or installing extra bookcases filled with books. Situate your home so that your bed isn't right next to your noisy furnace or air conditioning unit. If there are any other sources of constant noise, try to locate them far away from your sleeping and living areas so you can have some peace and quiet. You might also want to consider using these machines less to give yourself a break from the noise. Turn off your air conditioner and open the windows, even if it means being a little hotter than normal. You might find the less noisy atmosphere more relaxing than a cooled-down room. Sometimes it's simply impossible to truly get away from the noise. If you live on a busy street with lots of traffic, you know there's never really a respite from traffic sounds, sirens and honking horns. Getting away from it all is a good way to restore your emotional balance. Go to a quiet spot that's as free of sound as possible. Stay there and enjoy the silence for a few hours, until you feel renewed and ready to reenter the noise of daily life.  See if you can go for a walk in a quiet natural spot away from busy roads. If you can't make it to a quiet outdoor space, try sitting in a library for a few hours. The librarians will make sure it stays nice and quiet. Churches and cemeteries are also good...

. Whether you approach someone in person, through email, or via a social media platform, always begin by introducing yourself. (This is a great place to communicate your personal credibility.) Talk a little about your background and tell your story, but keep this brief. Aim for 1-2 minutes or 200-250 words.  Here is an example: “Hello everyone. My name is Rachel Addison. I am a hard-working, educated mother of 2. I am a professional decorator and avid social media user. Over the course of past six months, I have been working to solve a serious problem. I have determined that I cannot do this on my own, so I’m asking for your help.” Be sure to think about your audience. Adapt your language and tone to suit who you're talking to. People do not like to feel manipulated. Although it is important to be polite, and to include some important rhetorical elements into your request, you do not want to load it down with compliments and pleasantries. Rather, people liked to be asked directly. Just come right out and ask for what you need. Remember to be specific. You might say, “I need to raise $1,000 to pay for my dog’s surgery. The breakdown of how this money will be spent looks like this: [include budget or photograph of vet bill.] I am seeking donations ranging from $5 to $50. If you are not able to donate, please consider sharing this request with others.” People respond best to requests if they feel the asker is “grateful.” Beyond a simple “thank you,” it can be helpful to express what their assistance can do. You may explain what a given dollar amount could accomplish, or what their advice could mean for your career. Additionally, including that thank you never hurts.  You could say, “Even a donation of $5 brings me closer to covering my mortgage for one more month. Each contribution lessens my stress and restores my hope.” You might say, “Thank you so much for taking the same to read my story.”

Whether you are trying to develop intuition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, or claircognizance, tracking your psychic experiences in a journal can help you develop your abilities further. Keeping a journal helps you understand your strongest psychic and intuitive abilities. It also lets you check for accuracy and assess how valuable your responses tend to be. Even if no one among your friends and relatives is working on developing clairvoyance, you should have at least one person whom you can openly express your thoughts to. Sharing your experiences can help sharpen your understanding of them.  Share entries from your intuition journal and discuss your interpretations.

. While you can never eliminate stress from your life completely, you can take steps to reduce the stressors in your life.  Learn to say "no." Don't say "yes" to that dinner with your friend when you know you'll be working late to meet a deadline or agree to take on another project when you're already swamped. Learn to distinguish between the things you "must" do and the things you feel you "should" do.  Change your situation. Are you a ball of stress by the time you arrive at work because traffic has you so frustrated? Find an alternate route, take the train, or see if you can start your day early to avoid the gridlock. Identify small changes you can make in your environment and everyday life to eliminate unnecessary stress.  Spend less time with people who stress you out. Maybe you can't eliminate these people from your life — it could be your mom or your boss or co-worker who stresses you out the most — but try to limit your contact with these people as much as possible. Tell your mom you'll call her once a week, but you're too busy to talk every day. Avoid a stressful coworker as much as possible. Find reasons to excuse yourself from his presence. . Mediation does not mean to sit with an empty mind. Instead, meditation is about witnessing your thoughts as they come and go, but not judging them. Doing this for a few minutes each day can significantly reduce your anxiety about things that could happen to you.  Try sitting in a comfortable spot and taking deep breaths. As you do this, imagine each of your thoughts is a bubble that floats out of you toward the ceiling and pops. Listening to a guided mediation can also help. Giving yourself a yummy treat is a wonderful distraction from your worries. In addition, chocolate has been shown to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone that causes anxiety symptoms). The compounds found in dark chocolate can actually improve your mood. If you chronically worry about your family, this may be easier said than done.
