One of the reasons you may be afraid of the dark is because you feel that darkness is evil, awful, darkly mysterious, chaotic, or any other number of negative things. However, if you want to start embracing the darkness, you have to work on forming positive associations with it. You can think of it as calming, cleansing, or even comforting like a thick, velvet blanket. Work on changing your perception of the dark, and you’ll soon be able to embrace it. Write down all of the things you associate with darkness. As silly as it may sound, you should cross them out or tear up this piece of paper. Then, you should write down new, more positive associations. If this feels too corny, you can say it aloud instead. People who are afraid of the dark are usually afraid of their beds, because they think of them as a place that makes them vulnerable to harm. If you want to change your perspective about the dark, then you have to think of your bed as a source of comfort and protection. Look at it as a place where you look forward to being, not a place you dread. Use comfortable blankets and spend time relaxing in your bed, doing things that make you more eager to sleep in the bed at night. Spend more time reading and feeling at home in your bed. This will help you feel happy to be there at night. Many adults have admitted to being afraid of the dark. No matter what age you are, there’s no need to be embarrassed about your fears; everyone has one fear or another, and you should be proud of yourself for being honest and open about yours. Instead, feel proud of yourself for admitting that you have a fear and that you want to take steps to tackle it. In fact, one study showed that up to 40% of adults admitted to having some kind of fear of the dark. The more open you are about your feelings, the sooner you’ll be able to tackle them. Talking openly to other people about your fear can help you feel more support and comfort as you try to get over it. Also, talking about it may lead you to find that other people share your fear and...

One of the simplest and easiest ways is to break SEO down into two parts: Optimization and Authority. This method includes a lot of terms such as "site" and "search engine" and is best for clients who are already familiar with the internet and how it works. Your client needs to understand that optimization allows reputable search engines to read his or her website, and then evaluate it. You can say something like this: "Optimization allows a search engine to read the content of your website. The search engine will then display your site in the results when someone searches for the keywords that appear on your site." Your client also needs to understand that having authority proves to the search engine that his or her website is the best website. For example, you could say: "The more authority your website has, the higher up on the search results it will be. Having your website appear on others will prove to the search engine that your site is better than all others on the same topic." After you have broken down SEO into "Optimization" and "Authority," you want to repeat all that you have said in a shorter form: "SEO is two things: allowing search engines to display your website when people search for it, and convincing search engines to place it before other sites in the results."

One of the supposed advantages of a water birth is that it supports your body and allows you to easily position yourself upright. This can be a more comfortable birthing position for many women as opposed to giving birth on one's back.  You will sit upright during labor and the late stages of pushing during birth. The water supports your weight and allows you to more easily maneuver your body in a comfortable position.  Some evidence suggests pushing the baby out is easier in water than it is in air, and the upright position increases the opening of the pelvis during birth.  Many women are concerned the upright position will cause them to accidentally release their bowels. While this can occur, it rarely causes complications and many women do not notice. A midwife or doctor can easily remove any excrement from the water. While we cannot know for sure how babies feel during birth, many advocates for water birth believe the experience is less traumatic.  The warm waters will ideally mimic the atmosphere or your uterus, easing the intensity of the baby's transition into the world.  While many worry babies will inhale water, most babies will not take their first breaths until they're lifted safely out of the water. Babies are usually only at risk of breathing underwater if their head is brought to the surface before the rest of the body is born or if there was an issue with oxygen levels in the placenta during labor. A baby's first breath is one of the most stressful events of a water birth as mothers and doctors worry about a baby breathing underwater. However, with proper precautions and protocol your baby should take his first breath safely above the surface.  A baby should be brought to the surface shortly after the final push. The baby should be submerged for no more than a few minutes. Depending on your plan, either your birth partner or your midwife/doctor will bring the baby to the surface of the water.  When the umbilical cord or placenta tear, the baby is no longer supplied with oxygen. Make sure your...

One of the typical reasons for Aloe vera plant death is root rot. In order to determine if this is the case, you need to first take the plant out of its pot.  Loosely hold the base of the plant and the bottom of your pot. Tip the pot upside down, and continue holding the plant with your other hand. Hit the bottom of the pot with your hand or knock it against a table ledge (or other hard surface).  Depending on the size of your plant, you may need another person to help you. One person should hold the plant base with both hands, while the other person tips the pot upside down and hits the bottom.. You might also find it helpful to jostle the pot back and forth until the plant comes loose. If you still have difficulties removing your plant with two sets of hands, you can run a trowel or knife around the interior of the pot and try releasing it again, or push some of the soil out through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. If your plant still does not come out of the pot, you may need to break your pot, but this is a last resort.  While releasing the Aloe Vera plant from its pot, be sure that you are keeping the plant itself as steady as possible. All the movement should be centered on the pot, not the plant itself. In other words, hold, don’t pull, the plant. Hitting the bottom of the pot will keep your roots intact, and gravity will push the plant downward. Examine the roots and determine how many of the roots are still healthy. Mushy roots are characteristic of root rot and need to be removed. Any roots that aren’t black or mushy are good and can be kept.  If you see a lot of healthy roots and only a section of dead or mushy roots, you can likely save your plant without too much trouble, but you’ll need to cut away the damaged roots. You can use a sharp, sterilized knife to cut away the dead roots, but make sure to get them all. If you notice that the majority of your plant has damaged roots, it will take a little more effort to save the plant, and it may be beyond saving. In this case, you can try...

One one side write all of the books of the New Testament, and on the other side write the books in the Old Testament. This will be faster to use than opening to your table of contents.  You can also find these for around three dollars online.   You can also write the books of the Bible on a small piece of paper and use it as a book mark. If you use a bookmark, this could be a more discrete way of using an index than going to the table of contents or using Bible tabs. If all else fails, turn to the table of contents page. It is located at the front of your Bible, after the publishers pages.  Mark the table of contents page with the ribbon in your Bible or a bookmark. If you are changing Bibles often, it will be more difficult for you to find the table of contents. Once you break in your Bible it will be easier to flip the pages quicker and find those books, chapters and verses! Find a few books to use as reference or landmark points to navigate around. Remember that Psalms and Proverbs is in the middle, that the Matthew is about 3/4 into the book! If you know where Matthew is, you'll be able to quickly navigate to the gospels of Mark, Luke, and John. There are Bible apps that you can use that will help you easily navigate to any book of the Bible. Find and download a free Bible app online.   With a Bible app, you can choose which versions of the Bible you want to use: New King James, New International Version, New American Standard Version, etc.. You can also easily change the version that you are using to match the version that other people are using. Make sure you tell people that you are using your phone for your Bible.

One out of five people with shingles will develop post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).  You may have PHN if you are experiencing severe pain in the same area where you had your shingles rash. PHN can last for weeks or months.  Some people can experience symptoms for years.  The older you are, the more likely you are to develop PHN.  If you experience pain when things touch your skin (e.g., clothes, wind, people), you may have PHN. If you wait too long to seek treatment, you may be more likely to develop PHN. While PHN is the most common complication, there are other complications such as pneumonia, hearing problems, blindness, brain inflammation (encephalitis), or death.  Scarring, bacterial skin infection, and local muscle weakness are also possible complications. If you think you are suffering from PHN or other shingles complications, you should go see your doctor. Your doctor will be able to develop a treatment plan to manage your complications.  Your treatment plan will be focused on managing your chronic pain.  Your treatment plan may include topical agents such as lidocaine, analgesics such as oxycodone, anti-convulsants such as gabapentin (Neurontin) or pregabalin (Lyrica), or psychosocial interventions. Many people may experience depression or other mental health issues when they deal with chronic pain.  Your doctor may prescribe you antidepressants or recommend that you receive cognitive behavioral therapy. Your cognitive behavioral therapy may include relaxation techniques or hypnosis.  Both of these techniques are effective for managing chronic pain. If you are 60 and older, you should get the shingles vaccine.  Even though you have had shingles before, you should still get the vaccine. You can get the vaccine at your doctor's office or at the pharmacy.  Your shingles vaccine will be covered by Medicare Part D plans or your private health insurance.  You should wait until your rash has disappeared before you get vaccinated.  Talk with your doctor to decide the best time for you to get the vaccine. Living...

One pound is equal to 3,500 calories, so 5 pounds equals 17,500. Over the course of 14 days, this equals a 1,250 calorie deficit per day. You can create part of this deficit with exercise, but you will also need to cut calories from your diet to meet your weight loss goal of 5 pounds in 2 weeks.  Although cutting calories results in weight loss, cutting too many calories out from your diet can actually end up in slower weight loss, nutrient deficiencies and fatigue. Also, remember that you're burning calories through exercise as well. This in combination with a smaller calorie deficit from your diet will help you reach your goal easily. Use a food journal or food tracking app to find out how many calories you're currently eating and subtract 500 to 750 from that number. Also continue to track your calories to ensure you're not eating too much and staying within your calorie goal. Breakfast is an important meal, especially when you're trying to lose weight.  Don't just choose any breakfast food. This meal should be rich in protein and fiber to help fuel your day and keep you feeling satisfied longer.  The combination of higher protein amounts and higher fiber help you feel more satisfied long after your meal has been completed. In addition, the fiber adds bulk to your meal so you feel more full. Try oatmeal with low-fat milk, 0% fat Greek yogurt with ¼ cup of low calorie granola and a handful of berries or a 2-egg omelet with non-starchy veggies or a boiled egg. Losing 5 pounds in 2 weeks can be easy, but certain diet patterns make it even easier to do. Limiting some carbohydrates in your diet can help you shed pounds a little quicker.  Carbohydrates are found in many foods. However, limiting certain types of carbs may help you lose that 5 pounds easier than just following a low calorie diet alone. Carbohydrates are found in the following foods: sugar or foods that have added sugar, dairy products, grains, starchy vegetables and legumes and fruits. Instead of eating breads, rice or pasta, replace these carbs...

One reason a lot of people want to learn to count in Korean is because they have to do so during stretching and drills in Taekwondo. If that’s why you want to learn Korean numbers, it could be useful to study other Korean Taekwondo terms.  A front kick is Ap Chagi in Korean (pronounced “Ap-cha-gee”). A kick is Chagi (“Cha-gee”). A Roundhouse Kick is Dollyo Chagi (“Dole-ya-cha-gee”).   Some important Taekwondo commands include: Attention or Charyut ("Chari-yut"); Return or Baro ("Baa-row”); and Yell or Kihap ("Kee-yah-p").   Other Korean words used commonly in Taekwondo, include: Thank you (“Kam-sa-ham-ni-da”); Hello – (“An-yong-ha-se-yo”); and Goodbye (“An-nyong-hi Ga-se-yo”). Maybe you don’t want to stop with 10.  It’s actually really easy to count higher than 10 in the Korean system if you understand a few concepts.  The word “Yul” means 10 in Korean. So, if you want to say the number 11, you say Yul and the word for 1, Hah nah: Yul Hah nah. And so on for numbers 11 through 19. The word is pronounced “yull.” The number twenty is “Seu-Mool” – pronounced “Sew-mool.” For numbers 21 through 29, start with the Korean word for 20. So, the number 21 is Seu-Mool plus the word for 1: Seu-Mool Hah nah, and so on. Use the same approach to count even higher using these words: Thirty (So-Roon); Forty (Ma-Hoon); Fifty (Sheen); Sixty (Yes-Soon); Seventy (E-Roon); Eighty (Yo-Doon); Ninety (Ah-Hoon); and 100 (Baek). Korean might look like Chinese or Japanese to the untrained eye, but it's actually very different and, luckily for you - easier.  The Korean Hangul characters combine only 24 letters and a few simple variations. This isn't true of other Asian languages, which can require learning more than a thousand drawings.   In Korean Hangul script, every character stands for one syllable. And every syllable in Korean starts with a consonant. In some ways, learning English is harder because words like "read" are pronounced completely differently depending on context. That's not true in Korean!

One reason that you might wake up with a stomach ache is that you are thirsty. Dehydration can cause a stomach ache and since you have just gone all night without water, you may be slightly dehydrated. Pour yourself a glass of water and drink it slowly. You don't want to drink it too fast and shock your empty stomach.  You can also add lemon to it as well. It can help calm any stomach irritation caused by the dehydration. You can also try to drink juice or a sports drink to help replenish any nutrients or electrolytes that you might be missing. If you wake up with pains in your stomach, you may need something to calm your stomach down. Ginger, whether it is in tea, raw, or in ginger ale, can help calm your stomach and make it feel better. It promotes the release of enzymes that help neutralize stomach acid and contains phenols that relax the stomach muscles and irritated tissues. One of the best ways to get pure ginger is by making a homemade ginger tea.  To make the tea, start with 2 inch piece of ginger root and water. Peel and cut the ginger root into small pieces, then crush the pieces into even smaller bits. Boil 2-3 cups of water and add the ginger once it's boiling. Let it boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove it from heat. You can strain the ginger out when they pour it into a mug if you want or you can leave it in and drink it along with the tea. You can also drizzle some honey in it to make it sweeter. You can simply eat ginger if you prefer that to drinking the homemade tea. Chamomile tea is a great way to soothe your stomach. The chamomile in the tea helps reduce inflammation, which can help relax the muscles in your stomach that are contributing to the ache. If you are not a fan of chamomile, you can brew most herbal teas to help with stomach issues. Steer clear of peppermint tea. It ca relax certain parts of your esophageal sphincter, which leads to heartburn and acid reflux. Unlike normal water, coconut water contains electrolytes and natural nutrients that can help alleviate stomach pain. The water...

One side of the equation should be the exponent, the other should be the whole number. If not, modify the equation so the exponent is alone on one side. For example, you need to isolate the expression 43+x{\displaystyle 4^{3+x}} in the equation 43+x−8=17{\displaystyle 4^{3+x}-8=17} by adding 8 to both sides:43+x−8=17{\displaystyle 4^{3+x}-8=17}43+x−8+8=17+8{\displaystyle 4^{3+x}-8+8=17+8}43+x=25{\displaystyle 4^{3+x}=25} Set up the equation so that you are taking the log of both sides. A log is the inverse of an exponent.. You can find a base-10 log using most scientific calculators. For now, you are just rewriting the equation, indicating you are taking the log of each side. For example, if you take the base-10 log of both sides of 43+x=25{\displaystyle 4^{3+x}=25}, you would rewrite the equation like this: log43+x=log25{\displaystyle {\text{log}}4^{3+x}={\text{log}}25}. Rewrite it using the rule logar=rloga{\displaystyle {\text{log}}a^{r}=r{\text{log}}a}. Rewriting the exponential expression this way will allow you to simplify and solve the equation. Do not calculate the logs yet. For example, log43+x=log25{\displaystyle {\text{log}}4^{3+x}={\text{log}}25} can be rewritten as (3+x)log4=log25{\displaystyle (3+x){\text{log}}4={\text{log}}25} To solve, you need to rewrite the equation so that one side contains the variable, and the other side contains all of the numbers. You will need to divide each side of the equation by the log of the exponential expression. You will also need to add or subtract any constants to both sides, and perform any other necessary operations. For example, to isolate the x{\displaystyle x} in (3+x)log4=log25{\displaystyle (3+x){\text{log}}4={\text{log}}25}, you first need to divide each side of the equation by log4{\displaystyle {\text{log}}4}, then subtract 3 from both sides:(3+x)log4=log25{\displaystyle (3+x){\text{log}}4={\text{log}}25}(3+x)log4log4=log25log4{\displaystyle (3+x){\frac {{\text{log}}4}{{\text{log}}4}}={\frac...

One simple way to embrace minimalism as a family is to start a decluttering bin and placing it in a central area in your home. You may then encourage your family members to put items they do not want or need in the bin. You could even have separate bins for items to donate, items to sell, and items to throw out. This could simplify the process further and make it clear where each item is going.  To motivate your children to declutter their area, you may tell them they can get a half hour of extra play time with their favorite toy or media item if they do one hour of decluttering. This could encourage them to take the decluttering challenge seriously and put a dent in their stuff. If you have teenagers in the house, you can try telling them that they can have extra time on the computer or on their phones if they participate in the decluttering of their room. As a family you should work together to declutter your home and be more minimalist with the things you own. Go through each room of your house together and throw out items you no longer use or no longer need. Be quick and efficient as you do this, as you do not want to get too attached or sentimental about certain items.  You may try to embrace compromise as a family so you can still keep items that you value. For example, you may all make a deal that you can keep one or two sentimental items in your rooms and get rid of the rest. If you cannot throw away too many items, you may try using storage bins to store the items so they are out of sight and the room is free of clutter. As a family you can all agree to practice minimalism through your actions as well as your possessions. You may all assess your schedules and make an agreement to be minimal about the activities you take on individually and as a family. Work together to see if you can take on activities that are really important or essential and drop activities that may not be benefiting you or taking up too much of your time.  For example, you may ask your children if there is one activity they do...

One simple way to get a guy to go out with you is to simply ask you. It's alright to be a little nervous or shy, but the worst he can say is "No!" It may sting, but you will live to date another day. For example, you could say, "Hey, do you want to go out on a date sometime? I kind of like you." This step can be really scary! You don't want to be hurt. But, the only way the guy will know you like him is if you tell him. Then, maybe he'll ask you out so you don't have to ask him. You may find out that he likes you back. For instance, you could say, "Josh, I just want you to know that I really like you. As more than a friend." You don't always have to walk up and ask him out. You can give him hints or work up to asking him out. Maybe he'll take the hint and ask you out. For instance, you could say, "I know you're into vinyl records. Do you know any good stores nearby?"

One simple, direct, and fairly long-lasting way to get rid of unwanted hand moisture is simply to soak it up! You can do this a variety of ways, including applying an absorbent powder to your hands. Try pouring a thimble-sized amount of baby powder into your hands and spreading it around gently and evenly — you should immediately notice your hands feel cooler and dryer. Below are just a few more powders you may want to consider using:  Chalk Talcum powder (note that talc can be poisonous if inhaled in significant quantities)  Cornstarch (sometimes specifically used for this purpose in Hispanic countries, where it is called "maizena") Baking soda Many people apply antiperspirant under their arms every today to control underarm sweating. Believe it or not, you can get the same effect by spreading a little antiperspirant on your palms. Dry your hands by wiping them with a towel before you apply your antiperspirant so that it can do its job of plugging your sweat pores properly.  Make sure to use an antiperspirant — not just a deodorant. Though the two products are often combined into one, they're not the same thing. The former fights excessive sweating, while the latter simply controls the odor from sweating. For the strongest effect, use an antiperspirant with aluminum compounds as its active ingredients. Aluminum is one of the strongest, most effective antiperspirant chemicals available. For serious situations, you may even want to investigate prescription antiperspirants (like Drysol) which have higher concentrations of aluminum. For mild cases of clammy hands, sometimes simply carrying around something you can use to soak up moisture throughout the day is enough to beat your clamminess. Cloth handkerchiefs make great re-usable hand towels, while disposable paper towels and alcohol wipes offer instant convenience. Though alcohol wipes are wet, they don't usually make hands moist in the long run. Alcohol evaporates very quickly, taking other sources of moisture with it as it leaves the hands. In fact, some...

One staple of the male surfer look is the floral shirt.  This goes for a classic Hawaiian button up, but can also be a t-shirt with a bold floral pattern.  Start with this shirt and build from there. The print doesn’t have to be on your shirt.  Try opting for some printed slip-on sneakers. Jeans and the beach don’t match.  Instead of jeans, try wearing some khaki chinos.  Go for a lighter shade and consider experimenting with different beach colors like green and blue. For an added surfer look, roll the bottom of each leg a little over the ankle, as if you need to keep the edges dry while you’re walking along the beach. If you are on the beach, or even just styling on a hot day, a token element of the surfer style is board shorts.  These are banded at the top with a string to tie them together.  They come in those bold surfer prints.  They rest low on the hips and end above the knee. Shop some of the most popular surf brands like Quiksilver, Hurley, RVCA and O’Niell for the trendiest shorts. Male surfers often have longer and shaggier hair.  Consider growing yours out long enough to tousle.  You can also add hair product like Surfer Hair Power Putty to give your hairstyle the shaggy surfer look.  Apply a dime-sized amount to damp hair, scrunch it up and let it air dry.  If you have long hair, try a sea salt spray. Curly hair is great for a surfer look.  Consider enhancing the curls with a mousse for a slightly wet look. Some men don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but surfers do.  Finish off your look with some bracelets and a necklace.  Opt for woven fiber and maybe add some seashells, or a shark tooth necklace. Choose a colored suit, but it should not be too bright.  Try green or blue, or tan if the color is uncomfortable for you.  The bright color should come from the printed floral shirt you pair with the suit.  You can also throw some color and a casual beach vibe into your look by pairing some printed slip on shoes with your suit.

One study found that people take 10 percent more time to respond to a question over text if they are lying. This is natural, of course—they need more time to come up with a believable answer. This can be especially obvious if you've been having a rapid back-and-forth conversation and suddenly it's taking forever for the person to respond.  If you have the iPhone and can see the ellipses (“...”) at the other end of the text exchange, indicating that it's taking your texting partner forever to craft the perfect response, then this can be a red flag. Just remember that, just because it takes a person a longer time to respond, it doesn't guarantee that the person is lying. If the person really likes you, it can just take them longer to respond because they want to sound impressive. Of course, it's also possible—though less likely—that the person got held up just when you asked an important question. If you asked a fairly simple question, such as, “What did you do last night?” and the person sends you back three paragraphs of text, then it may be to compensate for the fact that they're not telling the truth. Some people think that, the more detailed their response is, the more convincing it is, but this can actually be quite the opposite, especially if the person normally doesn't send you long, descriptive texts.  If the person is describing every little detail of their night when all you wanted was a simple answer, then it may be to convince you that whatever story they made up really did happen. If the person is really a novice at lying, then they may even backtrack to correct themselves in the middle of the text exchange. If the person tries to change the subject, then this is another red flag that they are lying. This would also be true for the situation in person; if the person you're talking to isn't telling the truth, then it's only natural that they wouldn't want to linger over the topic. If the person gives you a quick answer and then asks a more complicated question, this can be a great way to create a...

One the biggest predictors of both a long, healthy life and happiness is a strong social network. Long-term relationships can provide support during tough times, increase life and work satisfaction, and reduce your risk of future illnesses.  Check in with friends you haven’t seen in a while. Send them letters, emails, or presents in the mail. Make sure to remember important dates, like birthdays or anniversaries. Form bonds in your community by befriending your neighbors and other local residents. You might volunteer at a local school, house of worship, charity, or political action group to form new connections. You don’t need to have a ton of friends to reap the benefits. In fact, a few, strong friendships can be more powerful than having several shallow acquaintances. A pet can help decrease cholesterol, blood pressure, and feelings of loneliness or anxiety. It is important, however, to only adopt a pet if you have the time and money to care for it properly.  A cat or dog can cost $1000 USD for the first year of ownership and around $500 USD for each year after that. Pets can have unexpected medical issues as well.  Adopting a pet is a good option if you prefer to spend more time at home. Most pets require a few hours of care and companionship a day. By helping others, you can also help yourself. Volunteering and assisting people in need can provide a powerful sense of fulfillment. Look for ways to support and assist people you love.  You don’t have to say “yes” to every favor, but you might give someone a hand when they need someone to assist them with a task. Sometimes just talking to be people can help them, especially if they are going through a tough time. Check in with loved ones with a phone call or card when they may be feeling down. Volunteer at a charity that serves an issue you care about. You might walk dogs at a shelter, raise money for medical research, or collect clothing for children in need. Relationships with people who express negative, controlling, or impulsive behaviors can make you...

One thing that works about half the time is attaching reflective tape (such as Irri-Tape™, Bird Blinder™, Brite Way™ and others) near the area where woodpeckers have caused damage:  You can try hanging aluminum pie plates, old CDs or other shiny items, but reflective tape works better. Use strips 3 or 4 feet (0.91 or 1.2 m) long, attached so that one end dangle and move in the wind. If the birds are pecking on your siding, attach several strips a few feet apart. Keep in mind that the tape deteriorates over time, and only works when there's wind to move it. Hang a flag or decoration near the area for a more visually appealing solution. A windsock or windmill that moves quickly when the wind blows may work to scare woodpeckers away. Sound-based deterrents such as ultrasonic recordings of a woodpecker in distress or with predator sounds, have been tested and proven to have no effect at all, at least on Pileated woodpeckers.   Place several wind chimes on and around your house. The noise from these chimes may possibly discourage woodpecker visitors. If a Hairy woodpecker, Lewis’ woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker or Northern Flicker is trying to nest in your home, attaching a nesting box where they are pecking (or very close by) will give them a better home. Be sure to pack it full of wood chips in February or March so they can fulfill their instinctive drive to excavate. These woodpeckers are the only ones know to use man-made nest boxes for nesting.

One thing that you may do during treatment is to work on your social skills. If you suffer from HPD, you probably have difficulties with others. You may have strained relationships with your family and with your friends, and you may find it difficult to make meaningful connections.  During treatment for HPD, you can work on being more of an others-oriented person instead of a self-centered person. Stop trying to take the spotlight and draw all the attention to yourself. This means you need to work on not making up things, doing things to draw the attention to yourself, or only focusing on your immediate interests and needs. Another thing you may want to work on during the treatment of your HPD is to limit or reduce your provocative and overly sexual behavior. Those with HPD will wear inappropriate clothing, flirt, and try to seduce others to draw attention to themselves.  During treatment, you should work limiting your sexual actions. Limit flirting and behavior that others may find offensive, like coming on to friends’ partners. Try to start dressing in a more modest way. Start wearing appropriate clothing to social functions, like dressing professional for work and wearing modest clothing when out with friends. Another thing you may want to work on to treat your HPD is to learn how to control your emotions. If you have HPD, you probably feel uncontrollable urges to act dramatically or indulge in theatrics to gain attention. With or without the help of a therapist, you can work on recognizing the beginnings of an emotional spiral.  For example, if you feel that people are not paying attention to you and you feel like throwing a tantrum or causing a scene, you can recognize this feeling and step away from the situation. You can coach yourself to be less emotional by saying, “I do not need to cause a scene. I do not need the attention to feel validated.” When you are with others, they may be able to help you figure out when you are being theatrical or causing a scene. If your behavior is causing them...

One thing that you'll notice on most successful fanpages is that their photos all follow the same general theme. While this doesn't mean that your photos need to look exactly alike, there are a couple of things you can do to ensure that your Instagram content looks uniform:  Use the same filter on your photos (or don't use a filter at all) Stick to a color theme (e.g., use all color or all black-and-white) Reaching out to other Instagram fanpages will both help expose your content to new people and give you an idea of what your content should look like as well. Following other fanpages will also help you stay informed of important information for your topic. Keeping your fanpage's content up to date with the latest information and news about your selected topic is crucial, as many of your followers will expect to get their news from you and similar pages. For example, if the person about whom you made your fanpage is an artist who just announced a new album, you'll want to announce the album on your page as well. Your fanpage's followers will undoubtedly have some comments, questions, and suggestions for your content; responding to them is crucial, as it will both help you retain followers and potentially inspire others to follow you.  Talking to your followers isn't just about engagement—it's about creating a positive community where people who enjoy the same topic can converse without interruption. Much of a fanpage's success can be determined by looking at how the fanpage's community interacts with each other. As with any other social media, success on Instagram often correlates directly with posting a few times per day, especially when starting out. At the very least, try to post twice per day. Make sure not to overdo it. Posting more than 5 times per day may dissuade other people from following you. While photos are the bulk of your Instagram content, be sure to add a caption to each post before publishing it. Captions create an opportunity to talk to your fanpage's followers or ask questions, and they...

One typical side effects of following a very low-carb diet like the Atkins diet is putting your body into ketosis.  This is where your body uses ketones for energy instead of it's usual glucose (a carbohydrate).  Headaches are one of the most common side effects of the Atkins diet.  An easy and all natural way to help fight headaches is to sip on a caffeinated beverage.  Studies have shown that caffeine is a promising headache reliever.  Many times, headaches are from enlarged blood vessels in the brain pushing on your skull.  Caffeine serves as a vasoconstrictor and makes those enlarged blood vessels become smaller and more narrow and thus relieving your pain.  Caffeine works quickly and you may notice some relief within 30 minutes.  In addition, the effects may last up to three to five hours.  Both tea and coffee are sources of caffeine with coffee being higher in caffeine.  Most 8 oz cups of coffee have around 80 – 200 mg of caffeine.  Try drinking one to two cups for headache relief. Although you can find caffeine in drinks like sodas, sports drinks, and energy drinks, these are generally not on the approved beverage list for the Atkin's diet. In addition to headache, ketosis and low-carb diets may also make you feel a little nauseous or change your bowel habits up.  Try taking some OTC medications to help relieve any of these side effects.  If drinking a hot cup of joe doesn't help with your headaches, try taking an OTC headache medications.  These are generally safe for most healthy people and will provide you with some relief.  In addition, look for a headache medication that contains caffeine as this helps the medication work more quickly and effectively.  If you experience any constipation or diarrhea you may want to consider taking some OTC medications for these side effects as well.  Take a gentle laxative or stool softener at the first sign of constipation.  If you let constipation go for too long, it can get worse and require more aggressive treatment like an enema.  Nausea is another side effect...

One way of taking your mind off things is to be with other people. Don't let yourself spend time being distracted and depressed alone.  Call some friends and plan to do something together, or get some close friends to come over and have a movie night, a dinner party, or play a game of some sort. You may want to take your mind off things, but you may also want to talk out the thing that's bothering you or distracting you. If you're feeling upset over a break-up, a recent disappointment, or some other issue, it might be a good idea to have some sympathetic friends to talk with instead, rather than distract. Whether you live at home or not, whether you have a big family or a small family, whether you are close with your family or not, spending some quality time with your family can help take your mind off other things. Organize plans to do something out with your family, or you could just head to the homestead and spend time at home. Even if you're just eating dinner and watching television, doing it with your family can be more relaxing and comforting than anything else. If your family and friends are busy, consider heading to a public place and just being around people. Even if you don't want to sit somewhere and try to talk to strangers, people watching can be a nice way of keeping your mind off things.  Head to the library, a coffee house, a bar, a local park, or a record store to socialize or people-watch. While it's true that bars can be great neighborhood hangouts and places to socialize over a few drinks, drinking is not recommended as a way to distract your mind, as it can lead to serious problems with alcohol dependency. Go to the bar to socialize, not to drink your trouble away. If you can't have your friends come to you, send something to your friends. Write up a letter to get in touch, asking questions to help catch up and filling your friend in on your own life. Want to go really old school? Make a mix tape and send it to a friend in the mail.

One way that people give into their anxiety is getting trapped in their heads and thinking about worst-case scenarios or situations that are not real. Be present on your date by staying in the moment. Staying in the moment can help keep you focused on the person in front of you, which can help you stay calm.  Tell yourself, "I'm going to enjoy this moment and not listen to my thoughts." Thoughts are not reality, and they keep you away from the moment. Pushing your thoughts aside can help you enjoy your date. Focus on what is going on around you. Don't think, "My date doesn't like me." Instead, pay attention to your date and interact with them. They probably like you quite a bit since they agreed to go on the date in the first place. Don’t forget that your date likes you, too. They agreed to go on a date with you, so that means you both already have some kind of mutual attraction. Consider why you like this person. Are they physically attractive? Or do you think they have a nice personality? It doesn't matter why you like them. Remember that going out with the person you like is an exciting and happy moment. If you look at your date as someone you don't know well, you may get nervous and won't be able to just be yourself. Talk to your date as you would a friend. Playfully tease them as you might your friends, tell silly stories, and don't be afraid to show off your wonderful personality. Treating them as someone you want to be around, and who wants to be around you, can help you feel more at ease. Not focusing on the romantic pressure can also help you act more natural. Almost everyone who goes on a first date is nervous. That means you’re not the only one nervous on this date. Sometimes, reminding yourself that the other person is just as nervous can help calm you down and help you enjoy yourself. Some people think that they need to fill up every silence because silences make them nervous. They may also think that silences mean awkwardness and that the date isn’t going well. Two people who don’t know each...

One way that you can continue to help your child cope with the death of a friend is to read together. Find an age-appropriate book. Use the opportunity to read to your child, learn more about loss, and grow together.  Ask for books about death and loss for children at your local bookstores or libraries. A librarian may be able to make recommendations. You can probably find them in sections on psychology. Books like When Someone Very Special Dies, I Know I Made it Happen: A Gentle Book About Grief, or The Next Place may be appropriate. It’s perfectly normal and expected for your child’s behavior to change after the death of a friend. Kids may seem detached. They may show regressive or immature behavior or even become angry and lash out. Within limits, this is normal. But watch for any signs that your child may need extra help in coping.  For example, act if your normally outgoing and loving child becomes angry, withdrawn, morose, or overly anxious. A counselor or school therapist can help deal with these emotions. Pay attention to your child’s performance in school, as well. A noticeable drop in his or her grades could mean that the child is struggling and needs extra support. Reach out to people around your child who can offer help, like teachers, school guidance counselors, or social workers. Talk with staff at the school to explain that your child is struggling with mourning. It may take some time, even with help, for your child to come around again.  Think about mentioning the situation to your child’s teacher, even if just in passing. That way, he will understand if your child acts out-of-character in the classroom. You might also set up a meeting between your child and the guidance counselor. This can be private – just the counselor and your child – or you can ask to participate.

One way to cope with peeing while laughing in public is simply to cover up the evidence. There's a good chance no one will notice, and you'll end up avoiding some humiliation. This might be easier than you think. If you have a sweater, or another longer clothing item, try wrapping it around your waist to hide the urine stain.  If you have a jacket or a sweater with you, either one would work. Simply tie it around your waist. This will work better with a sweater, because many people tie sweaters around their waists anyways. If you don’t have a sweater or jacket handy, you could always buy one if you’re near or in a store. Going to this extent would make the most sense if you’re about to meet someone where you need to make an impression or seem professional. You could always ask a friend whether you could borrow a sweater or jacket if you don’t have one along. In fairness, you should be clear about why you need it if you’re borrowing someone else’s garments. You should make sure that the pee dries, at least somewhat to avoid drawing attention to yourself. You want to get rid of stains and smells. Dampness can also cause skin irritation, so it's vital you clean yourself up after an accident in public.  Get to a bathroom as soon as you can. You may have to slip into a coffee shop or a grocery store to make use of the public restroom. Ideally, you would wipe off your skin with a cotton cloth. From there, you would use moisturizing wipes to wipe off your skin. It's a good idea to put a moisturizing cream on the parts of your skin that got wet, as this can provide a barrier that prevents irritation. If you're in a grocery store, or near one, you may be able to quickly purchase these products before slipping into the restroom. However, for the most part, it is unlikely you would be able to wipe up properly. Improvise as best you can. Use toilet paper or paper towels to dry your skin. If you have lotion in your bag, use that for now to provide a barrier. Scented lotion may help cover some of the smell. The most...

One way to enjoy being single is to do things that you can enjoy on your own. Think of those hobbies and interests that you’ve been thinking of doing, but didn’t have the time because you were in a relationship. Make yourself happy by doing them!.  You could try an activity or hobby that will develop a current talent or learn or new skill. For example, painting, gardening, swimming, yoga, or poetry are all enjoyable things you can do by yourself. Take an online course on something that has always interested you or start learning a foreign language. Your progress will make you proud of yourself. Start a blog or video channel about something you know a lot about. You can also meet new people that might turn out to be great friends or even a future love. Don’t just do things by yourself, make the most of being single by getting out and being social.  Attend events your family and friends invite you to like recitals or games. You can support your loved ones and possibly meet some new people. Volunteer for organizations or causes you support. You will feel good about helping your community and meet people that have interests similar to yours. Organize small (or large) activities for friends and family like dinner parties or game nights. Tell your guests to bring a guest. It just means that it’s okay to flirt with and spend time with someone that interests you. This will give you the chance to figure out what will make you happy in a future love. It will also give the opportunity for some fun, if not some epic stories to tell your friends.   If you don’t feel ready to date just yet, then try flirting a little. Smile at the cute salesclerk at the grocery store. Compliment the good-looking tech setting up your new electronic device. Remember that dating someone doesn’t mean you are in a relationship with them. Spend time with them to get to know them before you decide if you want to be in a relationship.

One way to feel good about yourself is to interact with people who matter to you. Seeing friends and family who you care about (and care about you) is a great way to rejuvenate yourself, and think about the good times you have had with them.  If you are feeling down about yourself, call up a friend to talk or ask a friend to meet you for coffee. A good friend will be able to offer support, or even just listen for a little while. It may seem easier to isolate yourself when you are feeling down, but keep in mind that this will not help you. It may be hard, but getting up and getting out of your house to go socialize with people is one of the best things you can do when you are feeling low. When people reach out to you and try to help you in some way, be sure to thank them for what they have done for you. These can be simple favors, or support during tough times. Expressing gratitude like this is a great way to remind yourself of all the things other people have done for you, and it reminds you that you are someone other people want to help. This doesn’t need to be people you know. Even just acknowledging or thanking a stranger who held the door for you can give you a little boost of happiness. Plus, he or she will probably appreciate your thankfulness, giving their day a boost as well. Volunteering and working with other people is a great way to feel better about yourself. Not only will you get the benefit of seeing someone else be happy, but you’ll also be able to pat yourself on the back for being the type of person who helps others. Try volunteering to help out at a local food bank, or apply to be a volunteer dog walker for a local animal shelter. Websites like Facebook and Twitter can be fun, but they also waste time, and can have a bad impact on your self-perception.

One way to find pearls is to eat oysters in restaurants. It is unusual to find a pearl in a restaurant oyster, especially one of high value. The odds are definitely stacked against you with this method, though it can be done. In fact, edible varieties of oysters generally produce a different type of "pearl" than pearl oysters, but true pearls have very occasionally been found by diners.  You don't just have to order oysters on the half shell. Any dish with oysters in it is fair game. You can also try buying oysters to eat at home from a fish market. To shuck an oyster at home, place the slit face up. Insert a table knife in one end of the slit, pushing downward slightly and moving across the opening. Pull the oyster open to look for a pearl. If it doesn't have one, you can still enjoy the oyster. Most pearls found in edible oysters aren't worth much or anything. They are usually misshapen and especially hard. However, be on the lookout for round pearls. If it is colorful, such as purple or orange, it can be worth a lot more.  Pearls can come in all sorts of colors, such as blue, purple, orange, white, pink, green, and black. They can be round, oblong, egg-shaped, or irregularly shaped.  However, most edible oysters will produce something closer to a pebble than a pearl. If you feel something hard when eating oysters, try not to chomp down on it. For one, as noted, most pearls found in edible oysters are especially hard and could crack one of your teeth. In addition, you don't want to swallow it. Pull it out of your mouth immediately. If it looks round, smooth, and lustrous, have it appraised at a jeweler's. Some companies sell pearl oysters that can be shipped directly to your home. These companies generally guarantee that you will have an oyster with a pearl in it.

One way to healthfully detach is to focus on observing yourself like an outsider, from an objective stance. This is sometimes called the “third eye,” where you have an additional vision of yourself from the outside.  When you are alone, simply observe how you are feeling and thinking. Ask yourself, “How am I doing today? What am I thinking about?” You can also work on observing yourself in social situations. Pay attention to what you say, do, how you act, and what emotions you express. Self-validation is an important component of learning how to distance yourself emotionally. Validation means confirming that how you are thinking or feeling is reasonable. You can use positive self-talk. Say to yourself, “It is okay and natural to feel how I am feeling. Even if I don’t want to show it, I am allowed to feel this way.” Setting emotional boundaries is about putting your needs first by setting limits on what you will tolerate from others.  If you can, disengage from individuals who irritate or upset you, such as particular coworkers or neighbors. Try setting boundaries by telling individuals directly how you feel, and what you would like them to do. For example, if your brother teases you, you could say, “I feel angry when you tease me like that. I would appreciate it if you stop.” It may also be helpful to identify the consequences of breaking this boundary such as, “If you don’t stop, I might not want to continue to be around you.” Here, you calmly discuss your anger without blowing up.

One way to help yourself get over your fear of the dark is to make sure to give yourself enough time to wind down before you go to bed. You’ll need to work on shutting off all electronic devices at least half an hour before bed, avoiding caffeine after noon or so, and doing something nice and relaxing, whether you read for a little while or listen to some soft music. Getting yourself in the most restful mindset possible can help you ease the anxiety you feel when the lights turn out.  Try 10 minutes of meditation. Sit down and focus on the breath rising in and out of your body as you relax your body parts, one at a time. Focus on thinking about your body and breath only and banishing all anxious thoughts from your mind. Find a groove that works for you. It can be drinking chamomile tea, listening to classical music, or cuddling with your cat. Avoid doing anything that will make you more afraid or anxious, such as watching the nightly news or a violent television show. You should also avoid anything that will be likely to stress you out and make you more worried at night in general, such as last-minute homework or a serious conversation. You don’t need to shut off all of your lights at once to get over your fear of the dark. First, you should know that sleeping in darkness leads to a deeper, more restful sleep than sleeping with the lights on. Use this as a jumping off point to encourage yourself to sleep in darkness. If you sleep with all the lights on because of your fear, you can start off by dimming the lights a little before you go to bed, or even shutting off some of the lights if you wake up in the middle of the night. This can help you slowly get used to sleeping in darkness. You can set a goal for yourself, like deciding that you’d be okay with sleeping with just a nightlight, or only with having another light on in the other room. When you get into bed at night, ask yourself what you’re really afraid of. If you think there’s someone in your closet, under your bed, or even hiding behind a chair in the...

One way to instantly make your life more mellow is to hang out with more people who have a mellow mindset. Being around people who are calm can soothe you and make you feel more at peace. Seek out people who have a more zen approach to life and try to emulate them. If you're close with them, ask them what makes them tick and talk to them about how they approach their lives. Though it's unlikely that you'll be able to act exactly like these people all of a sudden, it will be possible for you to pick up some tricks from them, and to mellow out just by hanging out with them.  In addition to hanging out with more mellow people, you should also try to weed out the people who cause you unnecessary stress or anxiety. Though you shouldn't drop your high-strung friends completely, you should think about spending less time with people who rile you up. That being said, you should know that there's a different between being mellow and being indifferent or just not caring that much. If you have friends who really don't care one way or the other because they don't have too many goals or ambitions, then they are not necessarily being mellow. It's important to be motivated and to want to achieve something in life, even if what you want is happiness or inner peace — being mellow just means having a more healthy mindset while you go about your day. Another way to make yourself feel more mellow is to pay more attention to how you keep your space. Keeping a clean desk, a made bed, and a room that is free of clutter can have a positive impact on your mental state. Taking the time to put everything in order at the end of your day, even if you only take 10-15 minutes, can have a big impact on how you approach your day and how much you feel that you have on your plate. Make a concerted effort to keep your space in order and you'll be surprised by how much more mellow you feel.  Of course you'll feel frazzled if you wake up and your desk is scattered with paperwork, or if you spend half an hour trying to find the shirt you wanted to...

You don’t want her to think that you’re only talking to her because you think she’s pretty or because you’re looking for a girlfriend. Take the time to get to know her by asking her questions about what her interests are, how her day is going, and whatever else is on her mind. Here are some things you can ask her about:  Her hobbies Her pets Her favorite bands, movies, TV shows, or actors Her friendships Her favorite places to visit Her holiday plans If you want to keep the girl’s attention, then you have to show her that you care without making her feel overwhelmed. If you want her to be interested in you, then she has to feel like she stands out to you. Work on giving her a little extra attention compared to the other girls around, and on spending more time by her side when you can. Smile at her and make eye contact when you see her so she knows that she stands out to you.  If she’s obviously having a bad day, come up to her and ask her what’s wrong. Let her see that you’re not just planning on being there during the good times. When you’re in a group or alone with her, flirt with her a little. Be playful, give her a gentle push on the arm or shoulder, and tease her in a friendly way. Take pleasure in making her laugh and let her see that you really do care without being too forward. You have to work on striking a balance between letting the girl see how much she means to you and not overwhelming her. You can’t be around all the time, call her every day, or be at her side every time she turns around, or she’ll want a break from you. Be around just enough to make things interesting while leaving her guessing and keeping her on her toes, too.  If you’re in a group setting, it’s nice to give her some extra attention, but that doesn’t mean you have to single her out too much, either. Talking to other girls will show that you’re less intense and open to being social with more people. If you have her number, you shouldn’t...

Pergunte coisas sobre ela para demonstrar que quer conhecê-la melhor. Deixe que ela perceba que você se importa. Não exagere. Se quer que ela permaneça interessada, deixe claro que está disposto a se esforçar e saia de seu caminho para fazer algo gentil para ela. Não trate-a apenas como um rostinho bonito, deixe claro que se importa com ela como pessoa e que quer saber o que pensa. Outro modo de se conectar com uma garota é encontrar algo que vocês tenham em comum para que conversem mais.

One way to look at rejection is to think that it is inevitable on your path to success. After all, how many actresses got the leading role after their first auditions? How many writers got their book published on their first attempt? You may think that success either comes naturally to people or it doesn't, but the fact of the matter is that rejections should be worn as badges of honor and signs of your commitment, not as indicators of your future success. Whenever you get rejected, just think of it as an inevitable step on the way to success.   If you're a writer seeking publication, tell yourself that you won't even have a chance to publish one of your short stories before you get 50 rejections. Every time you get one, just think of it as a step on your way to success. If you're seeking a new job, you should consider the fact that you'll get at least 5 or 10, or even 15 rejections for every time you're asked for an interview. Be proud of all of those rejections because it means you're trying and that you're closer to acceptance. Use the rejection to help you think about your future and the next attempt you make at whatever it is you're trying to achieve. If you didn't do well in an interview, ask yourself if you can improve your communication style or your body language — or even if you can rack up more experience before you try to follow the same path again. If your novel manuscript was rejected, ask yourself if it could stand another revision that cuts some of the meandering scenes or sharpens the dialogue. Think about the improvements you can make before you try again the next time, and work to achieve them.   If you're lucky enough to get constructive feedback, then use it to help you move forward. If an employer told you you need to improve your writing skills, then get a tutor or ask a well-versed friend for help. If an agent told you your protagonist isn't original enough, see if you need to make him or her stand out. Of course, some of the feedback you get may be worthless or completely missing the...

One way to make someone feel valued is to show interest in them: who they are, what they’ve experienced, and what they think about. Asking your mom about her life will offer you the chance to connect with her, and will make her feel happy that you’re interested in what she has to say.  For example, if you’re just hanging out in the living room, you could turn to your mom and ask her what her favorite thing to do was as a little girl. You’ll probably get a few interesting stories this way! Research even shows that families who share stories about their family history have closer bonds, and the children in those families tend to have more self-confidence. Asking your mom to talk about her history will benefit you both. Moms are just like anyone else: they need people to talk to. Asking your mom how she’s feeling shows that you’re paying attention to her and that you care about her happiness; that will probably make her very happy.  For example, if you notice that she seems stressed, you could say something like this: “You seem really stressed right now, Mom. Are you okay?” Asking your mom about her day is another good way to engage with her. She probably asks you about what you did that day; why not return the favor? Even small acts of kindness have big payoffs. Sending your mom a quick text during the day says you’re thinking about her, and will make her feel appreciated and special. The more people feel cared for, the happier they tend to be. You don’t have to write a novel to make an impact. Even a short “Hi Mom! I hope your day is going well” is enough to show that you care about your mom’s happiness. Sometimes it’s really hard to apologize to your mom, especially if you feel like she’s on your case a lot. However, apologizing when you’re wrong and taking responsibility for your actions will strengthen your relationship and make your mom feel loved.  Good apologies incorporate the “3 R’s”: regret, responsibility, and remedy. This means you:  Express regret for the hurt you caused. Take responsibility for...

One way to make sure you always turn in your homework is to do so right when you walk into each of your classes.  Of course, your teachers may have certain rules or preferences that prevent you from doing so.    As soon as you sit down, take your completed assignment out of its folder and place in on your desk in front of you. Keep it there until you are able to turn it in. Get an extra folder exclusively for completed assignments and keep it in the very front of your binder. This way, you’ll be reminded of your completed assignments whenever you access any of your class materials. Update your planner frequently.  As due dates approach, be aware ahead of time by always knowing what’s due a week in advance.  Always write down all of your homework assignments as soon as you are made aware of them.  Be extremely detailed with the information you include.  For example, jot down the chapters or page numbers of the textbooks or other materials associated with each assignment. If your class has a syllabus or course schedule, enter all of the included due dates into your personal planner. Include information regarding time slots you will not be able to work on homework, such as music or sports team practices, a babysitting gig, or family meals. Lots of people use electronic calendars these days, which have their benefits. Maintaining a calendar on your phone ensures that it’s always with you, but you can easily get in the habit of keeping your day planner with you as well, especially on school days.  Further, there are important advantages to paper planners.  Tangible planners are easier to update with quick additions or edits. It’s always satisfying to cross a completed assignment off with an actual writing utensil. Day planners are more appropriate for in-class use.  Since you’ll often be assigned homework in class, and want to enter new assignments immediately, this is a particularly important factor. Check in each day or when something is due. Not only are you more likely to finish your homework without...

One way to moisturize your scalp is to apply coconut oil before you wash your hair. Massage the coconut oil into your hair; it helps to warm it up a little first. Cover your hair, and leave the coconut oil on for about 45 minutes. Then hop in the shower and shampoo as normal. Another scalp treatment that some people have good luck with is 1 part apple cider vinegar and 1 part water. Spritz it on your scalp, being careful not to get it in your eyes, and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Rinse it out, and shampoo your hair afterwards. You're trying to prevent a dry scalp, and that means providing hydration. A shampoo that hydrates your hair will also hydrate your scalp. If you have dry hair and scalp, pick a shampoo that says it's for "dry hair." The scalp naturally produces oil, which moves down into your hair, too. However, if you wash your hair too often, you're rinsing away that natural oil. Skip shampooing your hair every day, instead doing it every couple of days. If you still want that fresh feeling even when you don't wash your hair, just use a rinse-out conditioner instead. Conventional wisdom states you should just put conditioner on the bottom half of your hair; however, if you're trying to prevent a dry scalp, you need to condition your scalp as well. Conditioning your scalp will help keep it hydrated. When you use shampoo or conditioner, rinse them out of your hair well. Any shampoo left behind could contribute to itchiness, which in turn could make you scratch. That could lead to a dry, itchy scalp overall. Scalp lotions are designed to keep you moisturized, preventing dryness. You apply it just to your scalp, rubbing it in as you would any lotion. You can find lotions made specifically for your scalp, but other thick creams may work as well. Heat from a blowdryer or other styling tools can dry out your hair. Whenever possible, allow your hair to air dry, or use the "cool" setting on your hairdryer.

One way to motivate your loved one with OCD is to help her identify the advantages and disadvantages of change. If the individual still has trouble becoming motivated for treatment you can do some of the following:  Bring literature home. Encourage the person that treatment can help. Discuss ways in which you have accommodated the OCD behavior. Suggest a support group. Your support is one of the most important aspects of helping an OCD sufferer, as it will lift some of the weight off her shoulders and will help her find the best treatment possible. Make it a point to discuss the treatment options with your loved one, in order to introduce it as a discussion topic.  Be sure to let your loved one know that OCD is very treatable and her symptoms and distress can be seriously decreased. You can ask your general practitioner for more information on OCD treatment as well as a list of local mental health specialists. Don’t force anything on him or her, but rather discuss the different therapy methods and what might be most suitable for their specific case.  These methods can include medication, cognitive behavior therapy, and family support and education. Several medications have shown success in treating OCD, and work to control some symptoms, but are not cures. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and response prevention are the treatments of choice, with or without medication. For OCD, exposure with response prevention will help with the OCD symptoms. This form of therapy gradually helps the sufferer refrain from engaging in their rituals.  Another treatment which may be helpful for the whole family is family therapy. This could serve as a safe place to discuss emotions and offer support. In order to find the most effective treatment, you will need to see a psychiatrist (MD), psychologist (PhD, PsyD), or a counselor (LPC, LMFT). Family involvement in treatment has been shown to help decrease OCD symptoms. Preferably, you should see someone who specializes in OCD or at least has experience...

One way to promote healthy hair and hair growth is to keep the split ends trimmed. The split ends are the damaged part of the hair, so it's not helping you grow thick or healthy hair. Split ends tangle easily and make curls look limp.  Some people say that you should trim your ends every 1-2 months, but this isn't a practice most hairdressers advise. Some people don't get split ends as quickly as others. Trim your hair only when it needs it. Otherwise, you are cutting healthy hair.  If you can't bear to cut all your split ends off at once, try cutting a few split ends off at a time. If you have a lot, cut only 1/4 of an inch (0.6 cm) every month instead of cutting the whole 1/2-2 inches (1.3-5 cm) you might have. Continue doing this over a few months until all your split ends are gone. One way to help give your hair a thicker appearance is to get layers put into your hair. This style gives a stacked effect, which makes your hair look fuller and thicker. Go to a salon and tell them you want layers to help give body and thickness to your hair. If you want to grow thick hair, stop using heating tools. Heating tools break down the hair shaft and make the hair thinner. Heating tools also increase split ends.  If you want to use heating tools, make sure to use heat protectants. When your hair is wet, use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb, rather than a brush, to remove the tangles. Brushing your hair while wet causes breakage, which slows the growth of your hair.  Do not comb or brush your hair aggressively. This causes unneeded stress on your hair and scalp, and can cause hair breakage.  When combing your hair, start by working out tangles at the ends of your hair, and slowly work up toward the roots. Curly hair needs to be shampooed less than straight hair because it easily gets stripped of its natural oils. Only wash your hair 2-3 times a week. Make sure to use gentle shampoos and moisturizing shampoos. One way to get thicker hair is to add body. Buy a volumizing mousse, gel, or souffle to help increase the...

One way to save money on housekeeping costs as a hotel owner is to create a schedule for your staff. Calculate the labor needed for each working day by considering how many guests are in the hotel and how much time it takes for each room to be serviced. Have a clear day by day schedule so you know how much staff you need and do not over staff when you don’t need to.  Having a staffing schedule can also help you calculate your labor costs. You can calculate labor costs by taking the employees required to service a room and dividing the amount by the number of rooms that can be serviced at a specific time. You should also factor in insurance and employee benefits to determine how much you will be spending on staff. If the amount seems higher than other costs, you may consider how you can reduce your staffing costs without sacrificing the quality of the hotel. Keep an eye on how often your staff works and if they are starting to work over their standard work hours. Notice if your staff seems to be working too many overtime hours, which then drives the cost of labor up. Look over the staffing schedule and notice if there are staff you can cut or hours you can reduce so staff does not work overtime. If you know you will need a lot of staff for busier times of the year, such as the holiday season, you may plan ahead so you have enough staff to cover the hours without having them work any overtime. You should also ensure there is a long list of secondary tasks that staff members can do if they are less guests in the hotel or less maintenance of the rooms that need to be done. Create a list of tasks for days that are slow so your staff are always busy and never idle. This will ensure the hotel is still maintained and you are being cost effective. For example, you may make a list of tasks like, “clean the common area, clean the back kitchen, organize the supply closets” so your staff always has something to do while they are working. To maximize your staff and keep them engaged in their work, you should try training...

One way to turn someone down is to give them a simple, direct answer to a request for a date or your number. The direct approach can be good because you don't leave them hanging and because you don't leave room for ambivalence, so they can move on to someone else.  For example, you could use the line, "I appreciate you asking me, but no thank you." You could also say, "No, I'm not looking to date right now." Be sure to make "no" part of your answer so you are very clear. If you don't want to flat-out reject someone, you can answer in a roundabout way. One way you can make it more roundabout is to start out with a compliment about the person but still end with a rejection. For instance, you could note, "You seem like a good person, but I don't want to date anyone, so I'm going to say 'no.'" Another option is using an avoidance tactic. In other words, you dodge the request by using a decoy of some sort to not respond directly, such as giving a fake number to the person so they don't know you're rejecting them.  To give out a fake number, you can just make up a number, but make sure it's not someone else's number. Also, this tactic can backfire if the person tries to call it or sees you again sometime. Another option is to say you have a boyfriend or girlfriend. You can also use a friend as a pretend significant other; however, if you use this tactic, you may drive off other people, which can be a problem if you are trying to meet people. " By apologizing, you're pointing out that you feel sorry for the person, which can make the rejection that much worse. Plus, you have no reason to apologize. You're simply saying that you choose not to accept their request.

One way you can determine tone in a literary work is to pay attention to the words and language used by the author. Consider why the author chose certain words or language to describe a scene. Think about why certain words were used to discuss a character. Think about how these choices create tone.  For example, you may study a passage from the short story “The School:" “And the trees all died...I don't know why they died, they just died. Something wrong with the soil possibly or maybe the stuff we got from the nursery wasn't the best...All these kids looking at these little brown sticks, it was depressing.” In the passage, Barthelme creates a solemn, gloomy tone by using words like “depressing,” “dead,” “died,” and “wrong.” Read a few lines of the literary work and notice how the sentences are structured. You may notice the sentences are short and often do not vary in length, creating a certain tone. Or you may notice sentences that are long and winding down the page. This could create a meditative or thoughtful tone. For example, in many thriller novels, the sentences are often short and to the point, with very few adjectives or adverbs. This can help to create a suspenseful tone, full of action and tension. There are different kinds of irony, including verbal, situational, and dramatic. A situation is described as ironic if the expectations and reality of that situation are incongruous. Irony is often tied to sarcasm, but not always. Take note of the use of irony in literature and examine how it contributes to the tone or to a tonal shift.For example, if someone says, “Good thing I wore my parka today” when the temperature is 85 °F (29 °C), they're using verbal irony. Reading a work of literature out loud can help you get a better sense of the diction of the piece. Diction refers to how words sound next to one another in a sentence. It is often more clear when a work is read out loud, as you can hear how each word sounds and pay attention to how this creates a certain tone to the piece. For example, you...

One way you can stop losing weight is to increase the amount of calories you eat each day. You should consume at least 1200 calories each day. Try tracking your calorie intake each day using a calorie tracker app, and then add a couple hundred calories each day. This doesn’t mean you should start eating a bunch of junk food. Instead, eat healthy calories that provide a lot of nutrition. For example, you can eat nut and nut butters, which have healthy calories and fat. Try adding healthy oils, like coconut and olive, to your meals. Include healthy carbs, like quinoa and oatmeal. If you are having trouble getting enough calories, try eating more small meals throughout the day. Large meals only once or twice a day may not provide enough calories for you, and they can make you feel stuffed and overly full.  Try eating three meals, then small snacks between meals. You may also want to have small mini meals, like a protein and a vegetable, between your main meals. For example, you may want to eat eggs, avocado, and a piece of fruit for breakfast. For a small snack, you may eat almond butter on a whole wheat English muffin. For your afternoon snack, you may eat some nitrate-free deli ham, cheese, and an apple. After dinner, you may eat Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries and walnuts. You shouldn’t stop working out completely, but adjusting your workout may help you stop losing weight. Assess what you are currently doing, how often you are working out, and for how long. Consider cutting back on long cardio workouts, or do cardio fewer days each week.  Add in social workouts instead of hitting the gym each day. Go for walks with your family, friends, or dog, or plan a hiking trip with them. Play a team sport at the park, or go for a bike ride through a park. Consider light workouts that help with stress, like yoga, tai chi, or pilates.

Online diamond providers can provide a vast choice of diamonds to choose from at competitive prices, due to their lower overheads. The disadvantage when buying from an online diamond provider is that you won't get to inspect the diamond in person before making the purchase.   Ensure that any online retailer that you are considering is well established, has positive reviews online, and sells diamonds from a reputable certification authority. The diamond industry frequently uses price guides to set the total cost of the stone. Some trusted reports include: the Rapaport Diamond Report, the Troy Diamond Report, Ajediam Antwerp Diamonds Monthly, and the Gem Guide. Larger diamond stores will likely have a larger selection, but these can be intimidating and rigid when it comes to bargaining. Smaller diamond retailers and those privately owned by individuals will be more willing to deal with you on a personal level, and might even be willing to negotiate the cost of some of your diamond related expenses. As with most products, when a certain designer is popular, the price of that designer's products become more expensive. This is also the case with designer jewelers. The name attached to a certain diamond can drastically increase its price compared to an identical diamond from another jeweler, with no increase in quality. Different stores will have different selections, but some stores might be more willing to accommodate other requests you have, like using a combination of metals in the band to cut down on overall cost. As with any major purchase, you'll want to be sure you've found the right fit for your situation before you even begin to negotiate. when appropriate. Some stores and providers might have clear policies forbidding the negotiation of listed prices, but that doesn't mean you can't get some freebies in addition to your purchase. As an example, you might inquire about diamond upkeep and request the store include some diamond/jewelry cleaner with your purchase.  Be wary of diamond sellers trying to...
