When you are actively engaged in an activity you enjoy, your thought will not be focused on your past. Fill your life with activities and people that take your mind off of your past.  Find a new hobby (e.g. arts, crafts, sports, reading, etc.), spend time with family and friends, read a book, or watch a movie. Do any activity that you enjoy and that makes you feel good about yourself.  Make enjoyable activities a regular part of your life. Activities that require your complete attention (e.g. cooking a meal, doing a crossword puzzle) or force you to focus on something other than yourself (e.g. taking care of a pet, babysitting a child, etc.) are particularly helpful for shifting your focus. Exercise releases your endorphins (i.e. feel good hormones) and stimulates your nervous system. Try to exercise for 30 minutes or more each day.  Exercise that engages both your arms and legs (e.g. walking, running, swimming, dancing, etc.) is best.  Focus on your body and how it moves as you exercise. Listen to music that you enjoy while you exercise. Try working out with friends and make it a social activity. You may find that certain things cause you to dwell on your past. Listening to a certain type of music, visiting certain places, or watching certain types of movies, etc may cause you to think about your past.  Changing some of these behaviors can help you move on.  For example, if sad or slow-tempo music causes you to think of your past, change the type of music that you listen to. If you notice that you tend to dwell on your past before you go to bed, change your routine by reading or journaling before bed. These changes may or may not be permanent. You may be able to do some of these things again once you stop thinking about your past so much. If you keep looking towards the future, you will not have time to focus on your past. Make a list of things that you are  grateful for, that you are looking forward to doing, and things that you would like to do. Include things that are already planned and make new plans. ...

When you are anxious about something, it can be incredibly easy to see only the negative aspects of it. As with all things though, there must be a positive facet to your fear-filled situation as well. Don’t focus on a single negative event while completely ignoring other related positives ones at the same time. " No matter what situation is about to go down, it’s unlikely that the outcome is completely black or white. Don’t allow yourself to ignore gray areas and overdramatize something. For example, assuming that if you don’t get accepted to a particular college, you’re a total failure and nobody will want you. This type of thinking is common with anxiety, but is also totally irrational. If your fear is of something non-dangerous and possibly even imagined, one of the surefire ways to make it worse is to turn it into a catastrophe. If you’re anxious about flying on a plane, and at the first sign of turbulence turn it into a crash, you are making your anxiety worse. See every situation as it really is, rather than what it could be. If you lack facts and have yet to experience your worry or fear, then jumping to conclusions about what might happen will do you no good. If an uncertainty lays before you, you can reduce your anxiety by realizing (and admitting) that you don’t know what may happen. Consider all possible outcomes, rather than jumping to the most morbid or unlikely. When you’re scared and anxious, it is easy to let emotions get in the way of logic. Your emotions will do just that though, and they will fool you into thinking you are in more danger than you really are. Don’t let your fear convince you are in danger, unless you really are. The same goes with all negative anxiety-based emotions, including stress, guilt, and embarrassment. When anxiety strikes, don’t allow it to force you to take blame for a situation outside of your control. If you’re anxious and scared because your house was broken into, it may be easy to take it personally and blame yourself for the break-in. This type of thinking is...

When you are being yourself in your videos, you begin to become comfortable with yourself. The danger of not being yourself is destroying trust with your subscribers. If you try to be someone else in your videos, that means you'll be acting in front of the camera every day. That can become tiring and boring. Are you reaching out to the younger people? Older people? What are you going to be vlogging about? Consider these questions before making your way onto YouTube. Vlogging is like your diary. You show your emotions and tell your audience how you feel. Don't get on camera and act happy when you know you are feeling bad. Tell your viewers how you're feeling. Allow people into your life only if they are there to motivate you, not bring you down. When people are always criticizing you, sometimes that can effect your day and potentially ruin your mood. Talk things through with your family. See if they want to be in your vlogs. Ask them questions and see if they are okay with you letting them on the vlogs. Sometimes, putting your life on the internet may not always be suitable for your partner. Talk it through with your partner and see if it's okay!  There are dangers of vlogging your life on YouTube when you are in a relationship, because viewers are prone to criticizing it whether or not they know it. It will sometimes make you doubt your relationship. Another danger is "not knowing." Sometimes, having a relationship with a person while on camera can become confusing. You will end up trying to figure out if you really love that person, or if your love for that person is only for the camera. Consider your relationship before making the step to become a vlogger. Technically, when you first get on YouTube, you're probably like, "Oh my gosh, I'm going to be famous now!" This isn't really true. It takes years to gain that many subscribers, and once you realize that you don't have as many subscribers as you intended, you get frustrated easily. Set realistic goals for yourself. Maybe in one video, try to get just five...

When you are cleaning a stain from inside your enamel glazed pot or pan, you can speed up the process by boiling water in the pan. You only need enough water to cover the surface covered with the stain and allow for evaporation when boiling.  This method works well on food stains, but is not especially effective on rust. This method eliminates the need for an overnight soak. Once the water comes to a boil, add two tablespoons of baking soda. Using a wooden spoon, thoroughly mix the baking soda in water until it is evenly dispersed.  Simmer the mixture for a few minutes. Reduce the heat to a lower setting and allow the baking soda mixture to simmer in the cookware for several minutes. After it has simmered for a few minutes, turn off the heat. Baking soda is mildly abrasive, but only enough to help scrape away the stain. It is safe to use on your enamel cookware. Scrape the surface of your cookware with a wooden spoon to remove the stains. They should come up easily with little effort.  It is important to use a wooden spoon. Metal spoons can scratch the enamel surface and cause rust stains where the cast iron is exposed in the cracks. A wooden spoon with a flat edge will make scraping easier. Use as much table salt as needed to cover the stain in your enamel. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the salt to soak it into the stain.  Continue squeezing lemon juice until you have covered all of the salt and made a paste over the stain. Scrub the area of the stain. Use a sponge or cloth to scrub the salt and lemon juice mixture into the the area of the stain. Watch to see if the stain appears to be coming out. Once the stain begins lifting, rinse the area with warm water. Wipe away any remaining residue using a clean cloth, then dry the surface with a clean, dry towel. If the stain persists, add more salt and lemon to create a paste on top of the stain. Let it sit for one hour. Squeeze more lemon juice over the paste and scrub the stain with a sponge or cloth until it is removed.  Rinse the entire area...

When you are feeling sluggish or uninspired, try to do something—anything! Staying active will help you stay cheerful. Get moving. Clean your house, do the dishes, fold some laundry, or start exercising. You will feel like you have accomplished something, and this can help you feel more positive. It's easier to be cheerful if you are enjoying life. Make sure to take some time, every day, at least once a day, to do something that brings you joy. What this will be will vary for each person, here are some suggestions:  Put on your favorite song and have a one-person dance party. Go for a walk in the woods. Treat yourself to a favorite food or drink. Have a cup of your favorite coffee or a piece of pie. You don't have to plan this or wait for a certain time of the day, just do it when it feels right. Focus on the things you are grateful for in our life, and express your gratitude to others.  Letting others know you are grateful for things they do that make your life better can make you happier, spread cheer, and improve your relationships with other people.  You might also want to consider keeping a gratitude journal, in which you write about the things you are thankful for.

When you are first letting your kitten get used to you, it’s best to get down to her level when you want to interact. Birds of prey are natural enemies of felines, so cats will instinctively fear anything looming over them.  When you want to play and pet your cat, sit down on a chair, couch, or on the floor to make yourself seem less menacing. If it’s comfortable, you can even lie down on the ground. You can use treats or toys to get her attention, but try to let the cat come to you. Especially if you're dealing with a shy, semi-feral, or unsocialized kitten, allow the cat to smell you before touching her. Once she approaches, hold your hand out toward her and let her smell you.  As long as the cat is calm and not scared, slowly and gently reach out and pet her. Start by petting the areas that cats use most often to mark their scents. Many cats enjoy being pet in these areas, which include the base of the chin, ears, and tail, as well as the cheeks. As the kitten becomes accustomed to you and gets used to you petting her, you'll come to learn her favorite spots where she likes to be pet. Many cats, however, liked being rubbed under the chin. After your kitten approaches and smells your hand, slowly move your hand below her chin and use the back of your hand or your fingertips to rub and scratch under her chin and where the jaw and skull connect. After a moment of petting her chin, slowly move your hand slightly up to rub the kitten’s cheeks just behind her whiskers. If the kitten rotates her head and pushes her face into your hand, this is a sign that she enjoys your petting. While some cats don’t like having their ears touched, many do like having their heads scratched at the base of the ears, behind and between the ears, and the area between the ears and eyes. Slowly move your hand from her chin to her cheeks to her ears, petting and gently scratching her face as you move between these areas. The haunches, which are the buttocks and thigh area, is a favorite petting spot for many cats. Gently rub around the...

When you are having a conversation, your body language can be just as important as the words you say. One of the most effective ways to communicate is to offer someone a smile. This is an especially great way to connect with someone you don't know very well.  Smile at someone at the dog park. If you notice your dogs are playing together well, grin over at that poodle's owner. It makes you seem approachable. Smiling is also an effective way to indicate support. If one of your co-workers stops by your desk to tell you a story, smiling at her indicates that you are interested in what she is saying. While you are speaking to someone, it is important to look them in the eye. This demonstrates that you are engaged in the conversation. It also indicates that you are listening and respectful of what is being said.  Eye contact also helps you gauge the other person's reactions. Eyes reflect people's emotions, such as boredom, anger, or affection. Don't stare at people. It is not necessary to focus entirely on your friend's eyes. You can let your gaze naturally take in your surroundings, too. A simple head nod is one of the most effective non-verbal cues you can use. Nodding your head can indicate multiple things. It tells someone that you understand what they are saying, for example.  Nodding your head also demonstrates that you agree. It is also a way to show support for what is being said. Avoid being a bobble-head. Do not nod continuously, as that will negate the genuineness of the gesture. Your body language often reflects nerves or anxiety. It can be intimidating to talk to people, especially if you are shy. One of the best ways to increase your conversation confidence is to be prepared for multiple scenarios. For instance, if you know you are going to see meet new people at a party, have some topics of conversation ready to talk about.  If you're going to a birthday party that involves bowling, be ready to tell a funny anecdote about the time you joined a couples bowling league. Practice your skills. Challenge...

When you are informed of the demotion, do your best to keep your immediate emotions in check and not take the news personally. Remember, there are several possible reasons for the demotion. An emotional display or bad attitude will only make things worse before you have had time to make good decisions. Speak with your supervisor. Ask for a meeting if they didn't tell you in person. In the privacy of the meeting you can request more specific information that you may be lacking, such as the reason for, and tangible consequences of, the demotion.Ask about things such as:  The extent of your pay cut. Your new job responsibilities. Really listen to what your supervisor has to say. It may be that they have some good information that can help you improve if it turns out the demotion actually is due to your work. Although it can be very difficult to hear any negative critiques of your work, being receptive and respectful in your exchange tells them that you care about the company and your standard of work. This can help you in the long run by assuring your continued employment while you make important decisions about your future. If you feel you will not be able to remain professional due to your emotions, ask your boss for half-day leave or a day off to process, but be prepared to do the best you can if they deny your request. Call on those who are part of your support system once you are away from work and able to vent. They will not only shore you up emotionally, bring fresh perspectives to the situation. It is unwise to discuss the details with co-workers, as it can place both them, and you, in uncomfortable or compromising positions.

When you are inside your hideout, don't let anyone come in unless they know your password. Tell your password to people you trust, and make them promise not to tell anyone. You can let people come into your hideout if they ask nicely. You can tell them the password later. If your club is small, and has only two or three people, then you can meet in your hideout. Don't hold bigger club meetings in your hideout. There isn't enough space. Some things are perfect for small spaces, such as reading, drawing, or writing. If you have a hobby that you enjoy, see if you can do it in your hideout.  Remember to clean up after yourself! Save noisy hobbies, like singing, for other places. If you make too much noise, people will know where you are! If you are tired and your room is too bright or noisy, you can take a nap inside your hideout instead. Take your pillow and blanket, and curl up inside. If you sleep with a teddy bear, bring him or her too! Remember to leave the closet door open! You may have rules for other people, such as "no coming in," but you should follow some important safety rules too! When you are playing inside your hideout, remember these rules:  Do not close your closet door if you are inside. You may run out of air, or you may get stuck. Do not block your way out. If there is an emergency, you may not be able to get out in time. Do not leave electronics on if you are not inside. Things like lights and laptops get hot, and they can cause a fire in such a small space. Do not light candles, even if you are careful. You can get those fake, battery-operated candles, however.

When you are keeping chickens, it is important that you understand common health concerns. For example, you should be familiar with common causes of egg binding. Age can be a factor. First time layers or senior chickens are most likely to become egg bound.  Egg binding can be passed down between generations. There may be nothing you can do to prevent your hen from becoming egg bound. An abnormal egg can also cause binding. This occurs when an egg is overly large or an odd shape. Your hen's diet is important to your overall health. If she is not receiving the right nutrients, she is at a higher risk for becoming egg bound. Calcium and vitamin D are especially important for chickens.  If her calcium levels are low, you can try placing a calcium block in her coop. Ask your vet before giving her any supplements. If you live in an area with limited sunshine, your chicken might need more vitamin D. Consider adding sun lamps to her enclosure. Chickens need to move around in order to be healthy. Provide her with plenty of space to roam around. Make her enclosure as big as your yard allows. Scatter her food widely so that she will have to walk in order to get to it. Let her remain outside of her coop for a few hours each day.

When you are pregnant or a new mom, you are bound to be tired and overwhelmed. That means it's even more important to have at least some of your meals planned in advance. When you have a new baby, you'll want to focus your energy on the baby, and not spend the day thinking about getting enough nutrients.  Set aside some time at the beginning of each week to plan your meals. The government offers a very useful checklist that you can rely on. You can find checklists here: https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist  Choosemyplate.gov will allow you to view food choices that will supply you with the needed nutrients. You can pick some foods from each group, and the site will help you figure out which nutrients you're getting and which you still need. It is important that you eat frequently while you are breastfeeding. As a new mom, you may find that you don't have time to sit down for a large meal. This means that you need to make sure to eat several smaller meals to ensure that you are getting enough calories for you and your baby each day.  Try to eat three regularly sized meals and three between meal snacks per day. Even if you are at home with your baby, try packing a lunch as if you were going to work. Then you will have a meal you can just grab and eat as needed. Have plenty of snacks prepared. The ones you can eat with one hand are best, so that you can still care for your baby as needed. Keep a supply of nuts, fruits, yogurt, and cheese handy. Talk to your doctor or search online for recipes for meals or snacks containing foods that are thought to boost milk production. While there is no scientific proof that these foods can increase lactation, but there are some foods that have some anecdotal evidence that they can help. Foods to try include oats, fenugreek, fennel, brewer's yeast, spinach.Try searching "vegetarian lactation bars" or "vegetarian lactation cookies" into a search engine. You will likely find many different recipes. If you can prepare some meals in advance of your baby's arrival,...

When you are shopping for veal, make sure that the meat is a creamy pink color. It should have a fine-grained texture that is visible to the eye. There should be very little fat marbling on veal, as it is a very lean type of meat. Make sure that you purchase veal that is adequately refrigerated and well-wrapped to ensure quality. Select the cut of veal you want to buy based on the meal you have in mind. While many recipes for veal use simple cutlets, such as veal Milanese or wiener schnitzel, there are other interesting cuts of the meat to choose from. Take a stab at cooking:  Veal short ribs, which are affordable and easily cooked by searing them and slowly baking them in the oven. Veal chops from the loin or rack, which are best served medium-rare. Veal shank, a bone-in cut taken from the lower leg of the calf. Ground veal, which is a very lean alternative to beef or pork.

When you are sleep deprived, your emotions are harder to control. One study showed that with only a few nights of disrupted sleep for teenage girls, their negative feelings increased as well as their anger. Getting a good night’s sleep helps people regulate their emotions.  Try to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time each morning. Your body will benefit from a regular sleep schedule. Turn off all screens (TV, phone, computer) at least a half-hour before you go to bed. Studies show that your brain is cognitively stimulated by electronic screens, which can interrupt good sleep.  If you have trouble getting solid sleep, talk with your doctor to see if there are other strategies you can try. If you know you are going into a situation where you won’t get a lot of sleep, try to get extra sleep beforehand. You may be able to counteract some of the negative effects of sleep deprivation, like moodiness. Meditation has been shown to be effective in emotional regulation. This relaxation practice has been shown to have a longer lasting effect on the amygdala, the center for emotion and the part of the brain where the stress response begins after a stressful or threatening event has been perceived.  Start with deep breathing exercises. Find a quiet place to sit. Breathe in for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and exhale for a count of four. Make sure you are breathing with your diaphragm rather than with your chest. When you breathe with your diaphragm, your belly extends out (you can feel it with your hand). Do this as many times as necessary until you start feeling calmer. If you feel like you have trouble meditating, don’t worry. Meditation is a combination of deep breathing exercises, visualization, and performing mental tasks, but if you feel like it’s difficult for you to sit long enough to meditate or if you feel uncomfortable meditating, you can just begin with simply deep breathing, and you can initiate your body’s calming response. When you are calm, practicing meditation...

When you are writing, you will make use of many small movements in your fingers, wrist, hand, and arm.  By focusing on using  your entire arm and wrist, instead of just your fingers, you can help your writing to look clean and straight.  Practice by making large letters, drawing them in the air with your hand. Avoid using your fingers to draw a letter.  This can result in slanted handwriting and may cause your hand to cramp up. Use your entire arm and wrist to form your letters which will make your writing more fluid and straight. Although it may seem like a small part of your handwriting practice, using the proper handwriting posture can help keep your handwriting straight.  By sitting in the right way, your movements will shift and allow you greater control over your handwriting.  Sit down with your feet flat on the floor and keep your back straight. Place your non-writing hand on the table to balance yourself. Don't practice writing while sitting on something soft like a couch or reclining chair. An important part of improving your handwriting, and keeping it straight, is gripping the pen or pencil properly.  Holding your writing utensil incorrectly can cause you to lose control over it, resulting in sloppy or tilted sentences and letters.  Always make sure you are holding the pen or pencil properly when you are practicing writing.  Hold the pencil close to the tip, using your thumb and pointer finger to grip it. Let the pencil rest on your middle finger, near the last knuckle. Don't grip the pencil too tightly.

When you arrive for the interview, you want to be fresh and sharp. It might be tough, but try to get to bed early the night before so you are well rested and ready to go. You don’t want to be yawning and rubbing the sleep from your eyes in the interview. You will most likely have been instructed on what documentation you need to bring with you to the interview, but if you haven’t be sure to ask. Employers will often want to photocopy or scan particular documents while you are there so be sure that you have these in hand the day before the interview. Some things you may need to bring include:  A copy of your resume, or CV. A copy of your passport or some photograph ID. Any professional or educational certificates or records required. There is nothing worse than arriving late for your interview, not only does it demonstrate a lack of commitment and interest in the position, but also indicates poor personal organisation and initiative. Your train might be delayed, or you might get stuck in traffic so give yourself plenty of time to get there.  If you arrive very early, it’s probably best to get a coffee somewhere nearby, rather than going and sitting in reception for half an hour. It can be a bit stressful for the office staff to have all the candidates queueing up, and it will be more relaxing for you.  But be sure to report to reception with five or ten minutes to spare. It’s important to make good first impressions with everyone you meet, not just the people conducting the interview. Be polite and greet people with a smile and a handshake. Your performance in the interview is ultimately what will determine whether or not you get the job, but demonstrating that you treat other staff members will help to create a positive overall impression of you in the office.

When you arrive on site for the job, start by getting all the information about the parents’ whereabouts for when they leave. Write down their full names and phone numbers, the address(es) of their destination(s), and their estimated time of arrival back at the house, and an emergency contact. Also take down any information on the child, such as allergies (or other health information). This list will need to be longer and more detailed for longer time periods.   Have the parents show you the location of first aid supplies and medications. Get a list of medications that each child may need to take, or is able to take in case of injury or illness (such as Tylenol for growing pains or a headache). Write down the child/children’s schedule. Most families have a general (or sometimes more specific) timetable of events in a child’s day. This typically includes meal times, the times for certain chores/homework periods, and bedtime. Getting this written down in advance will mean that the child (if they’re older) won’t be able to pull the wool over your eyes once their parents are gone. Each household you work in will be slightly different, and it is important to find out what activities are allowed in each. Ask about television/video game/computer time, when/where the child may be allowed to play outside, if their friends are allowed over, and any areas of the house that may be off-limits. These rules may vary from child to child in the same household depending on age, so be sure to specify.  Assume you are not allowed to take photos or video or the children. Ask if you are allowed to take and/or post pictures of videos of the children if you have a valid reason for doing this. Find out what you are allowed to do when the children are sleeping, if applicable. For instance, you may want to ask if you can use social media, watch TV, or, on rare occasions have friends over. It is always good to have a plan. Depending on how long you’ll be babysitting, you may have to feed the child/children a meal or two. Ask the parents...

When you arrive, follow the other kids to the waiting area where students can meet before the first bell rings to tell them to go to class. Look for familiar faces and say hi or compare schedules and make plans for lunch. If you don’t see anyone you know, use this time to make a new friend or look at your class schedule for the day! If you can, call or text your friends before the first day and plan where you’ll meet and ask them what their schedules look like. That way, you’ll know who you can sit by in your classes or prepare to make new friends. throughout the day. During class time, if you’re assigned group work or sit down next to someone you don’t know, be yourself and be friendly toward them. If you’re going to a new school, don’t be afraid to talk about where you’re from and reach out to new people on the first day. Even if you’re nervous, try to make at least 1 new friend on the first day.   Introduce yourself to people in class and in the hallways. Try saying something like, “Hi, I’m Jess! Math is my favorite class, but I’m worried this year is going to be hard. I’ve heard this teacher is good, though! What about you?” If you keep seeing someone in the halls on your way to class, don’t be afraid to smile and wave. Remember, you should only talk during class if the teacher says it’s okay to do so, like before the bell for class rings. If the teacher is speaking, it’s best to wait until the lesson is over and then make friends. Sit by your friends in class if you can, and use lunch or a free period to socialize and enjoy the day. Try to keep a positive attitude and think about all of the exciting things you’ll learn about during the year. If there’s one class you’re really interested in, don’t be afraid to ask questions and talk to the teacher about what you’ll be learning. While you should make the day fun for yourself, be sure to pay attention in class and respect your teacher during their lesson. If you talk during the lesson or make inappropriate jokes, your teacher may give you a warning about...

When you begin to worry about something, rather than simply trying to put it away from your mind, set a time limit on how long you will think about it. Actively trying to forget something often makes you think of that thing even more intensely, so don’t try to ignore your feelings.  Allow yourself to think for five or ten minutes, and then move on to more productive tasks. Set a timer so you don't lose track of time. When you are on the job or at school, you will need to be as focused as possible so that you can complete the task at hand.  You might have some legitimate worries that you will need to attend to later, but if it can wait, consider making a list instead.  Once you are finished with all of your work for the day, you can take a look at this list and address anything that is necessary.  Use a star or other symbol to mark high priority worries. You might find that your worries have subsided by the end of the day and you may not even need to check this list. Another way to place a limit or parameter on your worrying is to find ways to delay it.  Perhaps you are in the middle of a very important project but then you start worrying about your children or husband.  Commit to finishing at least a portion more of the work that you have to do before you check in or give in to fear.  Perhaps you have a presentation to create by tomorrow.  Commit to at least creating an outline and some introductory slides before you check in with your family. Remember, if worrisome thoughts are preventing you from completing the task, write them down.

When you begin your day, you need confidence and power to get things rolling. Scientists have found that listening to music with heavy bass (such as rock or hip hop) can increase feelings of power and confidence, and even improve your ability to think complex thoughts. Try listening to powerful music like this when you first wake up.  Check out rock artists like Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, or Credence Clearwater Revival. Check out hip hop artists like Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, or A Tribe Called Quest. Although familiar music can give you happy feelings, it can simultaneously decrease your ability to focus. If your mood needs an attention boost at work, try listening to something out of the ordinary for you. This can stimulate your brain and help increase your productivity.  Try an artist you're not familiar with. Check out Bjork, Beck, or Belle and Sebastian. Listening to music while you work out can help curb fatigue and keep you going. Pop music is great for working out because it gives you an upbeat, steady rhythm to follow along with. Try jamming some pop in your headphones at the gym. Some great workout songs include:  "Toxic" by Britney Spears. "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk. "S&M" by Rihanna. Although it may seem backwards, listening to sad music can help boost your mood. If you are truly down in the dumps, listening to sad music can help you to process your emotions, and lead to an emotional upswing as a result.  Check out Radiohead, especially their albums "In Rainbows" and "OK Computer." Listen to anything by Adele when you're feeling blue. Studies have shown that playing some calming music is a great way to reduce insomnia, extend your REM sleep cycle, and help you rest. Classical music is best suited for this task. Try listening to some classical music as you get ready for bed, or perhaps even allow it to play as you sleep. Some excellent classical compositions include:  Frédéric Chopin's "Nocturne No. 2." Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings." Gustav Holst's "The Planets."

When you blow-dry your locks, straighten your mane, or curl your hair, prevent further damage with a heat protectant. Apply the heat protectant, which you can purchase at any drug store, prior to styling your hair. Applying unnecessary heat to already damaged hair will only lead to further breakage. Instead of blow-drying your hair, let it air-dry.  Always use a heat protectant when blow-drying your hair!  If you have a diffuser, use it! This tool that attaches to the tip of your blow-dryer helps spread the heat evenly throughout your hair. Like blow-drying, curling or straightening already damaged hair will only result in additional damage. If you do curl or straighten your hair, don’t blow-dry your hair before styling it. Let it air-dry instead.  When curling or straightening your hair, always use a heat protectant! Use a curling iron or flat iron that shows you the temperature of the barrel or plates. Turn the tools to the lowest heat possible.

When you buy a modular house, you need to own the land before the house is constructed. This means you will have to start shopping for an empty parcel of land to put your house on. It's a good idea to have at least a general idea of where you want to put your house before you start working with a builder.  Land is very expensive in some areas, so it's important to understand how much an average parcel will cost in the area you want to live in before you start planning your house. This will ensure that you do not go over-budget when you buy the land. Don't forget to consider what your property taxes will be. Consider that it will be much more expensive to connect your home to utilities if it is in a remote location.  A modular house is not the same thing as a manufactured home or mobile home. A modular house is placed on a permanent foundation and cannot be moved, while a manufactured home is designed to be easily relocated to a new site. Once you settle on a location, you will need to decide what kind of space you need in your modular house. Modular houses can be very tiny or palatial, so you have lots of options. Think about how many rooms you need and how big you need them to be.  Think about how much square footage your family currently has and how much extra you need. If you're not sure, consider visiting open houses or model homes in your area. Even if you don't plan on buying this type of home, visiting them will give you a good sense of how much space you need. Keep in mind that more square footage typically means more expense. Carefully consider your budget when deciding how much house you really need. In addition to square footage, you should think about what kind of floor plan you would like, or how you would like the rooms to be laid out. For example, some people prefer open concept floor plans, while others prefer defined rooms. You may also have preferences regarding the locations of certain rooms. When deciding on your needs, be sure to plan for the future as well. For example, if you plan on...

When you cook couscous in a broth or stock, it can get salty. Adding an acid while the pasta cooks will help mask some of the salty flavors. If you plan to serve your couscous with meat, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice will do the trick. Other useful acids to serve in couscous include:  About a quarter of a cup of white wine per cup of water A few tablespoons of white vinegar to cut salt without adding too much flavor A few tablespoons of balsamic or red wine vinegar for Mediterranean dishes A squeeze of lime juice for Southwestern sides or dishes that will include other fruit There are a lot of onions, and all of them go well with couscous. Add a clove or two of chopped up garlic per cup of couscous while the pasta is cooking to bring a mild, well-balanced flavor to your dish. You can also add:  White onions for a stronger taste Shallots for a balanced savory and sweet flavor Leeks for a more mellow flavor, especially if you plan on adding fruit or herbs later Herbs pull double duty in couscous. They add in flavor, and they bring in aromas that enhance taste as you eat. Add in a handful of fresh herbs after your couscous has absorbed all its water but before you fluff it. Some herbs that pair well with couscous include:  Mint for Middle Eastern inspired dishes Dill for dishes with a mild flavor, or those being served with fish Rosemary to brighten up a heavy dish Oregano to add depth to a light dish Basil for any Mediterranean or pilaf style dish One of the most common mistakes with couscous is forgetting to fluff. While this doesn’t add any new flavors, it helps separate the couscous granules. That, in turn, makes it easier to taste the flavor you have added. Once your couscous has cooked completely, take a fork and gently break about the grains. Do this until there are no large clumps left.

When you create your profile, do not hide your prosthesis. You can write about it in your profile or have a picture that highlights your prosthesis. Regardless of how you do it, be honest about your prosthetic device and try not to hide anything. Disclosing this information on your dating profile may make the conversation about your prosthesis much easier during a date. If you do not feel comfortable about leading with your prosthesis on a dating profile, wait until you feel okay discussing it. You can mention your prosthesis while messaging potential dates or bring it up during a date. This might be a good option if you want to avoid any fetishes around your prosthesis, or people who are just curious about it. When putting together your profile, be flexible about how you disclose your prosthetic device. You may find that being upfront works in certain instances or meets your needs better than waiting until later to talk about it. However, you may also find that the opposite is true and wait to reveal your prosthesis. Ultimately, you may want to try out both methods and see which works best for you. You should also explore your options by using multiple dating sites. You may find that your experience varies from website to website. Create profiles on sites like OkCupid, as well as websites designed specifically for disabled people, like Dating4Disabled and Whispers4u. Ultimately, you may find that one service meets your needs better than the others or that you appreciate the options that a variety of dating profiles offers.

When you decide to use birth control, there are many factors you should consider such as if and when you want children, if you want to take pills or not worry about taking daily medication, and your lifestyle, including if you travel frequently. Thinking about these questions can help you determine the most appropriate form of birth control for you.  For example, if you are in a long term relationship and want to wait a few years to have children, you might opt for a long term birth control method such as an intrauterine device (IUD). If you have multiple partners, you may opt for birth control pills and condoms to protect from pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.  Consider questions such as “do I want to plan every time I have sex?,” “do I want to remember to take a pill every day?,” “do I want to end my fertility permanently?”.  You’ll also want to think about your health. For example, if you suffer from migraines, birth control pills may not be a good choice for you. You can choose barrier methods that are put on or inserted right before sex including male and female condoms, a diaphragm, a cervical cap, and spermicide.  If used properly, these methods can help protect against pregnancy, but you may want to use a secondary method to help ensure that you don’t get pregnant. For example, if you’re using condoms, which have a failure rate of 2-18%, you may want to also use a spermicide.  The advantage to barrier methods is that they also protect against STIs. Hormonal birth control, which has a low failure rate of less than 1% to 9%, is a good option if you want to avoid pregnancy and are in a long-term relationship. The different types of hormonal birth control are the Pill, a patch, or a vaginal ring. Birth control pills can have the added benefit that they can help regulate your menstrual cycle. You can choose a long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) method such as an IUD, hormonal shots, or a contraceptive implant if you want to wait to have children. It can take some time to return to...

When you do this, you should stretch it when it gets sticky enough that it begins to hold together. If it does not stretch, check the temperature of your water. It may be too cool. If the mozzarella cheese begins to tear, place it back in the water for a moment to heat up again. Stretch the mozzarella cheese in two inch strips and fold it over on itself several times.It is important not to overwork the cheese, for it will make a dry and hard mozzarella ball. Form the mozzarella cheese into a ball when it forms a mass and has a sheen. To accomplish this, fold a two inch strip over 3 times and then force it through your thumb and index finger. Once you have a ball, squeeze your thumb and index finger together to break loose the bottom of the mozzarella ball from the rest of the cheese strip. Mix 2 cups (465 ml) of whey with 2 tbsp. (10 ml) of salt and some ice. This is the brine for your mozzarella cheese. You can cool the mozzarella cheese in the brine. When it has sufficiently cooled, you can remove it from the brine. Wrap it in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. Refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to a month.

When you feel anxious, your body goes into "fight or flight" mode. Deep, diaphragmatic breathing can interrupt that reaction and help you to relax. To practice diaphragmatic breathing, lie on your back on your bed. Leave your knees bent by placing a pillow beneath them for support. Place one hand on your chest and one below your rib cage to monitor the movement of your diaphragm. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. Notice your stomach pushing your lower hand out (the upper hand should remain still). Tighten your stomach muscles, and exhale the breath through pursed lips making sure that your chest is not moving. Repeat.  If you are in a group situation, excuse yourself to the bathroom or another private area to practice deep breathing. You can breathe in this rhythmic way for 5 to 10 minutes about 3 or 4 times per day when you notice yourself feeling anxious or disconnected. Having feelings of depersonalization can cause you to think you are crazy, to feel as if you are not in control, or might even make you feel like you will faint or stop breathing. Combat any negative thoughts with positive statements, such as:  I’m going to be ok. I will relax. Feeling like I’m not real isn’t dangerous; I’ll be fine. I don’t like these feelings, but they will go away. I am present in this moment. Your hobbies may include playing the guitar, scrapbooking, or collecting antiques. Whatever it is that relieves your stress, try to do it often, particularly when you find yourself experiencing more anxiety or depersonalization. This will prevent moments of severe anxiety and will help lessen the instances where you feel depersonalization. Practice stress management daily whether that means taking time out for quiet or pulling aside a few minutes everyday to take part in an activity you enjoy. Because depersonalization is commonly associated with anxiety and depression, exercise is a great way to relieve feelings of being “un-real.” Exercise boosts your confidence, releases tension, and helps manage stress levels....

When you feel ready (or as soon as you feel pressured to get on with it), treat the job search like a job in its own right. This may feel weird at first but the routine will grow on you and it tends to be the only way to churn out the job applications in an effective way.  Set up a workspace that is entirely devoted to job applications. It's great if it's somewhere that you can shut the door and get away from everything for a few hours a day but even if you can't, carve out a special, quiet corner. If the house is too noisy, plan to visit the library or another quiet space at the set hours each day. Shut the door on or throw a sheet over your workspace when your set job search time is over. By stopping the search at a set time, you allow yourself to participate in all the other activities that leave you feeling whole and normal, such as cooking, exercising, cleaning, entertainment, catching up with friends, etc. If you allow job search time to bleed into all of the day, you're likely to be less effective and a lot more annoyed about the way that it dominates your life. Initially it probably feels mind-boggling but you need to quickly assess the best places to find job advertisements and connections so that those become your main focus. Things to keep in mind include:  Find and bookmark all relevant job websites and feeds. As much as possible, narrow these down to your skills, experience and qualifications. However, also think laterally and toss in other job streams that might prove fruitful with a little tweaking of your skill set. Get involved in sites like LinkedIn and find all the people who might prove to be useful leads. Network online, follow relevant feeds, participate in discussions and try to find people who are looking for people. Most of the jobs are not even properly advertised but are word-of-mouth or quietly announced. Some jobs don't even exist until you push hard enough with the right person. Amend your personal websites. Change them to reflect that you are looking for employment such as...

When you first ask someone out on a date, you want to seem casual so that you don’t come across too formally.  Simply say something like “Hey would you like to go see a movie on Saturday?” Texting or online chat can be a great way to send your initial invitation. Ask your mentor to look over your message before you send it. This will help ease your nerves, and let you know what to expect on your date.  Don’t feel like you have to pick a typical first date if you don’t want to. A bar might be too loud, and going to dinner might put too much pressure on small talk. Try an activity-based date. For example, if you like to bowl, invite your date to go bowling with you. When there are gaps in the conversation, you’ll be able to talk about your game. If you enjoy art, take her to an art museum. You’ll be able to talk about the art together, and the setting makes a little silence more acceptable.  If you find somebody that shares your special interest, try setting up an date that is related to this special interest. Write down the plan for your date. Your date will most likely appreciate the initiative you took to plan it all out and find it romantic. . When you’re on date, make sure that you let your date talk at least half of the time. As you are listening, nod your head occasionally and interject small statements like “that’s interesting” to let her know that you are actively listening.  Ask open-ended questions, and if you ask yes or no questions, follow up with something open ended. For example, if you ask, “Do you have any brothers or sister?” and she says, “Yes, two older brothers,” say something like, “Oh, what are they like?” When your date asks you questions, don’t be too short with your answers but don’t take over the conversation, either. See what kinds of things she likes. What are her favorite movies, books, music, or games? What are her hobbies? After she tells you her favorites, go home and check them out. Listen to her favorite song, or read her favorite book. This will give you a better idea of what...

When you first enter a public restroom, take a quick survey of the available stalls.  Make a smart choice on what stall to use.  Choose a stall that seems the cleanest.  The toilet should be flushed, the seat should be dry and free of any visible debris and there should be toilet paper and seat protectors. Many times one or two stalls may be visible dirty or contaminated.  These stalls should be avoided if possible. If your only option is to use a dirtier or unclean stall, use more precaution and employ as many safe use practices as possible. There is actually more chance of spreading bacteria or getting bacteria on you when you flush the toilet.  Be careful and mindful when flushing public restroom toilets.  When a toilet is flushed, the "spray zone" can be up to 6 feet (1.8 m).  If you're in the stall and flush, you're right in the middle of that zone. Use toilet paper to touch the handle.  Avoid using your bare hand to flush the toilet.  Use some toilet paper or use your foot to flush.  In addition, face away from the toilet when you flush.  That way your face and mouth are not facing the toilet and will be away from the spray zone. Use toilet paper to open the door. It stands to reason that the inside latch of the toilet door is dirtier than the outside latch. Use a small piece of toilet paper to open it with and dispose of this paper immediately in the bin upon exiting. Washing your hands is probably one of the most important parts of using a public restroom.  And unfortunately, many times the sink is the germiest place in the restroom.  Wash your hands in the warmest water available or that is comfortable to you.  The hot water helps sanitize your hands.  Wash your hands using soap for at least 20 seconds under running water, (Happy birthday song twice). After you wash your hands, it's important to continue your safe hand washing practice with appropriate hand drying practices.  You can still come into contact with germs when you're drying your hands.  Ideally, the bathroom will have paper towels.  If...

When you first meet someone new, begin the conversation by acknowledging them in a friendly, casual way so they know you want to engage with them. You may say "Hello" or "Hi," then introduce yourself. Ask them their name. A friendly, casual greeting might sound like, "Hey, my name's Mark. What's yours?" Try to remember their name so you can use it in your conversation with them. Repeat their name once or twice out loud to help yourself remember, and make sure you are pronouncing it correctly.  You might say, "Frank Nguyen? Nice to meet you, Frank Nguyen." Ask them to repeat their name if you forget it, and apologize for forgetting. Maintain eye contact when you greet the person. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides and turn your body towards them. You can also lean towards them. This will demonstrate that you are interested and engaged in the conversation.  You can also nod and smile to show the person you want to be social and connect with them. Relax the posture of your body. Sit or stand with your head up and your shoulders back to exhibit that you're open, friendly, and confident. Small talk is when you chat with the person about their life in an attempt to learn more about them. You can also share details about your life if they ask. To get the small talk started, you may ask the person about their profession and their schooling. You can also ask them how they know the host if you are talking at a party.  For example, you may say, “So, how do you know the host?” or “What brings you to the party?” You can also say, “What do you do for work?” or “Where did you go to school?” You can then answer any questions the person may have about your profession or schooling. This will keep the conversation going. Follow up on information the person told you earlier in the conversation. Ask questions about something they told you. This will elevate the small talk to a more meaningful discussion. For example, you may ask the person, “What’s it like to going to school in Japan?” or “What is it like to work in the field?”...

When you first use your griddle, you can add a protective coating – or “seasoning” – to it to prevent rust and make it easier to clean in the future.  To season your griddle, pour one teaspoon (five milliliters) of vegetable oil onto the griddle.  Use a paper towel to spread the oil across its entire surface.  Let the oil sit on the griddle for one hour.  Wipe up any residual oil after an hour has passed.  Season your griddle again if you’re using it again for the first time after a long period of disuse. Non-stick cooking sprays have a high water content and burn easily.  And if you’re cooking on a griddle with a nonstick coating, they’re completely redundant.  Corn oil, likewise, should be avoided.  The high sugar content in corn oil tends to caramelize (melt) and coat the surface in a sticky, burnt mess. Use a paper towel to wipe the surface down.  The small amount of oil that remains on the griddle after a light wipe-down will help season the griddle. Pour room-temperature club soda directly on the griddle.  Pull oil and food scraps toward the grease trough with a metal spatula.  Wipe the surface down with a paper towel, then season your griddle. When using your griddle, avoid using metal forks or spatulas.  These could lead to scratching or removal of your griddle’s nonstick coating, if present.  Instead, utilize rubber, plastic, or wooden cooking implements. One exception to this rule is in the case of ceramic or stainless steel griddles, which can withstand a metal griddle scraper or other implement.

When you focus on breathing deeply, you can help your body release stress and anxiety. Your mind will start to clear as you think only about breathing. Breathe in for a count of four. Hold for a count of four. Exhale for a count of four. Place your hand on your stomach to feel it moving in and out with the breath. A mantra is a simple phrase or word that you repeat to yourself. When you find yourself in a situation when you want to distract yourself from thinking certain thoughts or doing certain activities, use a positive mantra. For example, if you want to distract yourself from anxious feelings, you might say, “I am strong,” or “I can cope.”  This will turn your mental energy away from the negative feelings as you focus on yourself repeating these words. If you are feeling negative emotions, you might find it useful to get some exercise. Going for a walk or bike ride will allow you to focus on one activity. When you sleep, your mind will quiet down and you will stop thinking so actively. Curl up in bed for a nap.

When you get the exam, look it over carefully first. Listen for any additional comments the teacher gives on questions and write in changes when appropriate. Take note of any special comments written on whiteboards. You don’t want to end up answering something that wasn’t actually asked simply because you didn’t read the question thoroughly. When you are stressed about a test, sometimes the tendency is to read too fast and try to get through the test as quickly as possible. But this is when careless mistakes happen. Slow down, take your time, and read each question thoroughly. If you are required to read a long excerpt (several paragraphs), you should read the questions first before you start trying to answer them. Then, as you do the reading, you will know what to be looking for specifically.

When you get your herbs home from the store, dry them as if you were going to store them freshly. Rinse them, if necessary, dry them thoroughly, and trim the stem ends of the herbs. Gather them in bunches and let dry for at least a week. Different herbs will dry at different rates.  Gather the herbs in loose bundles, tying the stems together with rubber bands, twine, or old twist-ties. Hang the herbs upside down in a cool dry place in your house, so the air circulates around them thoroughly. You can also store your bunches in dry paper bags, which helps to collect falling dried leaves and seeds that can fall. Some people like the way it looks to have herb bunches hanging around the house, though. Herbs are done when they're crunchy and dry and no longer have any moisture in the leaves. The fastest way to dry herbs is in the oven. Generally, you'll get more flavor and life out of herbs if you dry them more slowly or freeze them, but this is a method to use quickly if need be.  For broad-leaf herbs, like basil, arrange picked leaves across a baking sheet and bake at extremely low temperature, the lowest that your oven will go. For herbs with tiny leaves, like rosemary or dill, you can typically leave them on the stem. Turn the leaves frequently to make sure they don't burn, and the herbs should be thoroughly dried in an hour or so.  Depending on the herbs and the temperature of your oven, the herbs can burn very quickly, or dry very slowly over a period of several hours. Leave the door open a crack and watch them closely, turning often, to keep them from burning. If you want your dried herbs to resemble the herbs you might buy at the store, crumble them by putting them into a plastic bag and massaging them with your hands, or with a rolling pin. It's also fine to leave the leaves whole and break them up when you choose to use them. Dried herbs can be stored in the pantry in airtight containers to keep them fresh for several months. Old mason jars, pickle jars, and other containers are perfect for storing a...

When you give to a local or global charity, you’re using your money to help strengthen society and the people who live in it. Charitable giving also sets a good example for others around you, because they’ll see you giving and be more inspired to do likewise. Give to charities like Doctors Without Borders, the NAACP, the Native American Rights Fund, or the Jane Goodall Institute. You don’t have to restrict yourself to financial giving. Many charities, for example, will accept donations of used vehicles or clothing. Giving other people practical knowledge and day-to-day skills is a great way to contribute to your local community and enhance society overall. You can help friends, neighbors, local kids, or complete strangers by showing them practical ways to solve common problems.   For example, if you see someone with a dead car battery, show them how to jump the car. Or, teach kids in your neighborhood useful outdoor skills. Teach them how to pitch a tent, light a fire, or sharpen a knife. If you’re a mechanic—or just good at fixing things—you could show a few neighbors how to change a flat tire, change the tire on a bicycle, or repair simple engines. There’s nothing selfish about working hard to receive a good education, whether at the level of high school, college, trade school, or graduate school. An education allows you to contribute to your society both locally and globally in ways you couldn’t have without the high-level knowledge.  For example, you could study farming or agriculture in college. After graduating, you could return to the community you grew up in and help people there develop better farming practices. Or, you could get a BA and an MA in psychology, then open a private practice to counsel those struggling with negative thoughts or mental illness. Regardless of how much formal education you’ve had, you probably have some knowledge and skills that would be useful to people in your community. You could give a public lecture at your house about, for example, managing finances. Or, contact the...

When you go for a walk in an area where dogs are often loose, plan ahead to bring something that can help in case of an attack. If a dog is acting aggressive or going to attack you, you can defend yourself and protect your body by placing an object between yourself and the attacking dog. The dog may even clamp down on the shielding object, and avoid harming you altogether. Having something with you like:  A sweater or jacket. A book or newspaper. A cane or umbrella. A bicycle. In case you come across an aggressive dog that attacks you, it's best to be prepared and capable of defending yourself. Pepper spray is available for this purpose, and a knife is certainly better than nothing. Also considering carrying a heavy walking stick that you can swing in self-defense.  If you have steel-toed boots or shoes, these can also be used in self-defense against a dog. A firearm is the next step; a pistol can be conveniently carried if the law allows. If you don't carry a weapon, you can use something you find as a weapon tin case a dog attacks. A sturdy board, pole, or branch should be your first choice. If a dog is threatening you, point the stick at the dog to keep it at bay. Do not try to swing at the dog, as this may anger the animal and cause it to attack.  If no sticks or poles are around, rocks are the next best choice. Even if there isn't an aggressive dog nearby that could attack, if you're in unfamiliar territory, it's smart to be aware of your surroundings. Consider what objects you could use to defend yourself in the case of a dog attack.

When you go in for your yearly physical or pelvic exam, ask your physician to do a manual check of your breasts for any suspicious lumps or other changes. Physicians are trained in how to do a breast exam and will know what to look for. This is why you should never try to replace this exam, though sometimes uncomfortable and awkward, with your own self-examination.  Your doctor will begin by checking the appearance of your breasts. You will be asked to raise your arms over your head and then hang them down by your sides while the doctor examines the size and shape of your breasts. You will then undergo a physical examination. While you lie down on the examination table, your doctor will use the pads of their fingers to examine the entire breast area, including the armpits and collarbones. The exam should last for only for a few minutes.  If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask for a nurse or family member to be present in the room for the exam. If you’re a female patient seeing a male doctor, this is standard procedure in most cases. If you feel any anxiety, take a deep breath and remind yourself that this is a necessary part of keeping an eye on your health. A mammogram is a low-radiation X-ray used to examine breast tissue, and it can often detect lumps before you’re able to feel them. The National Breast Cancer Foundation recommends a screening mammogram every one to two years for women 40 and older. Women who are younger than 40 but who have risk factors for breast cancer should consult with their physician about how often to have mammograms. Even if you have no known risk factors or symptoms, regular mammograms every few years as part of your physical is recommended.   In the mammogram, your breast is placed on a platform and compressed with a paddle to even out the breast tissue, hold the tissue still during the x-ray, and allow for the use of a lower-energy x-ray. You’ll feel pressure and may experience some discomfort, but this is just temporary. The will be done on both breasts so the radiologist can...

When you have anxiety you may breathe too shallow, focus too much on your breathing or attempt to take on too big of breathes to get oxygen you feel that is missing.  If you are feeling like you are going to hyperventilate, try Co2 Rebreathing. While you may think you are having troubles getting enough oxygen, in reality hyperventilating occurs when your Co2 level is low. Cup your hand over your mouth as you breathe normally. Re-breathe the same air in the hand to return the Co2 back into the body. Deep breathing can be good to self-calm. The easiest exercise starts simply by sitting in a chair with arm rests so you can sit up straight with arms to your side. Take a deep breath in through your nose to the count of 5. Then, slowly over a count of 7 release through your mouth. Repeat for 10 total sets of in and out breathes. This exercise is quite simple. You basically sit comfortably in a chair or on a couch, and gradually contract and relax each muscle group in your body. Begin at your toes. Tense your muscles and hold for several seconds, noticing what the tension feels like.  Then, relax your toes and take in that feeling of released tension. Next, move up to another set of muscles. You may prefer to find a more formal exercise to follow. Or, you can do the exercise with music. You can do self-guided imagery by recording yourself reading a sample scenario or you may find a recording that works for you for the exercise.  One example of a self-guide imagery you can record to listen to would be focusing on describing your own special place with all of your senses. You would describe this special place in enough detail that just listening to the recording will trigger a visual image. Describe the sensations you feel around this special place and why it makes you feel good. If coming up with your own script is not easy for you to do, you can download a script to record. This process would first include choosing a simple yet meaningful mantra and then following relaxing techniques as you focus and recite this...

When you have been betrayed, you may be overcome with anger, grief, and humiliation. Holding in your painful feelings can have negative effects on your health and your relationships. When you have learned of a betrayal, take time to name the emotion without judgment. This will enable you to work through it without turning it on yourself or others.  It may help to write through your feelings. If you keep a diary or journal, try writing down exactly how you feel. If you don't keep a diary, write yourself a letter. You can also write a letter to the person or people who betrayed you, but wait a week before you decide to send it.  Suppressing painful feelings can lead to health problems such as chronic pain, sleep deficiency, and even heart disease. It can be difficult to deal with betrayal when the person or people who have betrayed you are always nearby. If you were betrayed by a partner or a friend, ask them to give you space while you come to terms with what has happened. You might want to go away for a while. If you live with a partner who has betrayed you, you might want to ask them to find somewhere else to stay for a while, or to sleep in a different room.  If the person who betrayed you is far away, take a break from correspondence. Tell them you will get in contact again when you feel ready to talk. If it feels helpful, set a date. Disconnect from social media. Take a break from websites that give you unwanted information about the people who hurt your feelings. Betrayal can turn your world upside down. When you have lost the trust you had for someone, you may be tempted to cut them out of your life entirely. Wait before you make any big decisions, such as filing for divorce, changing your job, or denouncing someone publicly, as your feelings may change. If you feel in danger of physically harming yourself or others, immediately seek professional help. There is no positive revenge. Revenge in the heat of the moment is something that you will come to regret later. Time spent calculating a deliberate...

When you have diarrhea, your body sheds fluids that contain needed vitamins and minerals. It is important to get those minerals back in fluids, especially water and sports drinks.  Combatting dehydration is your primary medical concern with diarrhea. If you are vomiting in addition to having diarrhea, be sure to take frequent, small sips of liquid instead of drinking lots of liquid at a time. Other liquids that you can consume to combat dehydration include chicken or beef broth, flavored mineral waters, or rehydration solutions such as Pedialyte.  Caffeine-free liquids are best. Caffeine is a mild diuretic, meaning that it can have a dehydrating effect. If suffering from diarrhea, stick to liquids that don't have the possibility of dehydrating you even more. Not so much a remedy as a common sense treatment supplement, sleep is very necessary when it comes to treating diarrhea. Since diarrhea is a symptom, it is a good indicator that your body is trying to fight off a problem such as a virus. Sleep and rest are among the best ways to help your immune system. If you’re no longer vomiting (or your symptoms never included vomiting), then you can start taking advantage of the BRAT diet-bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. These are all low-fiber foods that will help to increase the firmness of your stools. They’re also fairly bland in a way that won’t risk further upsetting your stomach. The bananas in this diet also help replace potassium your body has lost through diarrhea. Though effective as a base to help treat diarrhea, the BRAT diet is not a well-balanced diet. Saltine crackers, boiled potatoes, clear soups, skinless baked chicken, cooked carrots, and other somewhat bland food choices can also help while you’re still experiencing an upset stomach. Some people may also try yogurt. However, the lactose in yogurt can be hard on your stomach while you have diarrhea. If you turn to yogurt, choose a probiotic variety (with live bacterial cultures) to help return helpful bacteria to your stomach and assist with...

When you have reached the Retire space, you may not spin the wheel any more or draw cards, or purchase things. This space indicates that you are near the end of the game. However, getting to the Retire space first does not mean you have won the game. The first thing you will need to do when you hit the Retire space is to repay any loans you have taken out plus the interest that you owe. Put this money back into the bank. Next, get rid of all of your special cards, but you may keep your stocks. If you are ahead of your opponents, then you can continue to collect money from your stocks when your opponents spin the wheel. Move to Millionaire Estates if you think that you have the most money. Keep in mind that if you do move to Millionaire Estates, you stand a chance to collect four additional Life tiles that may help you win the game. But other players may draw from this pile if the draw deck is empty. If you move to Countryside Acres, collect one Life tile. No one may take this Life tile from you and you may include it in your cash total at the end of the game. The player with the most money gets the last four life tiles that are on the Millionaire Estates space. Then, all of the players (including those at Countryside Acres) should add the cash amounts on their Life tiles with the money they have on hand. The player with the most money is the winner!

When you have the basic idea down and have a plan for how it will be laid out, the next to think about is how you're going to build it. The options seem endless, and people will try to sell you this or that 'fantastic' application, and every other thing that you "absolutely must have" on your site, however the reality is that there are a few great tools for building websites, and one of them will be best-suited to your situation and needs. This is the first option. If you have a website-building application like Adobe Dreamweaver, it is not very difficult to create a website from scratch. You might need to do some coding but don't panic! HTML looks complicated, but it's like listening to Shakespeare—it's hard at first, but once you get the feel of it, it's not that difficult.  Pros: website design software simplifies the process of building sites by letting you drag-and-drop images, text, buttons, movies, and anything else you can think of, usually without ever having to dig into HTML. Many web design applications will even let you create sites specifically for your smart phone or pad. If you are building a basic, personal website, this is really a great way to go. Cons: there is a learning curve, and though you don't have to dig into HTML, it's not totally geek-free. If you are in a hurry, this might not be the best solution. Perhaps the biggest con, though, is that if you are not a graphic designer, you could end up with a page that hurts the eyes. To mollify this somewhat, there are a number of free templates in the applications, and on the internet, but be aware of your limitations—if you have any! This is the second option. WordPress is an example of a great option for building websites. It helps you create web pages and blog posts quickly and easily, set up the menus, allow and manage user comments, and has thousands of themes and plugins that you can choose from and use for free. Drupal and Joomla are other great CMS options. Once the CMS is hosted, you can manage your site from anywhere (in the world)...

When you kick the ball, make sure that your non-kicking foot lands as close as possible to the ball. The nearer to the ball your standing foot is when you make contact, the better control you’ll have over where the ball goes. If your standing leg is far away from the ball, you might unintentionally slice or hook your shot.  Make sure that your standing leg does not touch the ball. If it does, you’ll be called for a double touch when you kick it. When your foot lands, make sure it is pointed toward where you want the shot to go.

When you kiss someone, and you have a tongue piercing, snakebites, or a lip ring, it's important to be mindful of the other person's teeth. Piercings can chip teeth and cause oral damage for the other person. Be gentle when you are kissing someone and you have a piercing. Sensitivity levels with new piercings vary. If your partner is doing something that hurts you or that you find uncomfortable, have an honest conversation about kissing and tell them that they should be more gentle. You can say something like "I like kissing you, but my piercing is painful when you pull on it. Can you please be more gentle?" If you both have piercings, then it's important to be extra careful. Rings are more susceptible than studs to become interlocked. If you're able to, avoid hitting your piercings together to reduce the chance of them getting caught.

When you lie, there is a tendency to add a lot of extra information and details that you usually would not. The other person may wonder why you are talking so much.  Also, you may start to provide details that do not make sense.  For example, it is better to say, “I woke up late this morning,” than to say, “I drank coffee to stay up and work on this project last night and then I couldn’t fall asleep. I finally went to sleep and then it was so hard to get out of bed this morning.” Only answer a question that a person asks you. If you do not tell the lie like you believe it, the other person will not believe you either. Believe that you can successfully deceive the other person. If you are unsure of yourself, it will show in your delivery. The other person may be able to tell that you are lying.  If you become anxious while you are lying and the person questions you, have an answer ready. For example, if the person asks if you are alright or why are you stuttering, tell them, “I’ve just been really stressed by school/work, sorry.” Telling the truth is natural, but telling a lie requires you to control your natural urge and access your inhibitory control. When you have to use the bathroom, you are activating inhibitory control to not use the bathroom on yourself. Practicing self-control in one area makes it easier for you to control your urge to tell the truth. You will be a more convincing liar if you lie with a full bladder.  Drink a lot of water 45 minutes before you plan to tell your lie. This will only work if you have to pee while you are telling the lie. Practicing self-control earlier in the day will not help you when it is time to tell your lie. When you talk, you typically move your body and make small movements. If you stand completely still, the person will notice that something is wrong.  If you usually talk with your hands, be sure to use your hands when you are telling your lie. Avoid covering your mouth, throat, chest, head, or stomach when you are lying. These are all signs that you are not...

When you look at shrink wrap bags, you’ll notice that the bottom edge is already sealed. Right next to the seam is a strip of excess plastic. Use your heat sealer to cut this bottom edge off. To use a heat sealer:  Plug in and turn on your heat sealer. Open the heat sealer and place the bag between the blades. Close the heat sealer, like a paper guillotine. Wait 2 to 3 seconds, then open the heat sealer. Some people find it helpful to place a business card against the back of the soap while sliding it into the bag. This will help the bag lay flat as you insert the soap. If you do this, however, be sure to take the card out of the bag.  Don’t worry if the bag looks to be too big for the soap. This method will work for round, disk-shaped soaps as well. It is not recommended for other shapes, like hearts or stars. Open up your heat sealer and place the top edge of the bag between the blades. Clamp the heat sealer, wait 2 to 3 seconds, then open it. If the bag is too wide for the soap, slide the soap towards 1 side of the bag, and heat seal the remaining side.  Place the soap close enough to the heat sealer so that it bumps against the edges of the outer frame. This will bring the blades as close as possible to the soap. There will be small gaps between the edges of the soap and the seams on the bag. This is perfectly fine. Every so often, scrape the heat sealer’s blades clean with the top/blunt edge of an X-acto blade. Get out a craft-grade heat gun and turn it on. Aim the nozzle at the soap, and heat all sides of the soap until the plastic shrinks against it.  Start with the side edges, then do the front. Don’t worry if the seams look loose and wrinkly. You’ll fix that next. Don’t use a hairdryer; it’s not strong enough. You can get heat guns from the embossing section of a craft store. Get out a hard, flat surface, such as a wooden cutting board. Heat one side of your soap with your heat gun, then rub that side against the flat surface. Repeat this step for each side of the soap.  You only need to do this for...

When you move towards your toes and lift your leg towards your opponent, you need to point your dominant knee directly at the target. Think of it like lifting to give off the impression of a false kick. The importance of putting your weight on your toes, not your heels, comes into effect here. By keeping your weight on your toes, you allow the rest of your body to follow through into full turn.

When you offer an IT service to consumers, you're offering something they don't already have and they may think it is something they don't need. Be prepared that it may take more effort to sell IT services to consumers. Are there particular industries that would benefit from the type of IT service you are offering? Are there particular industries that are unlikely to use your service? For example, machine shops are not very likely to utilize software development services.

When you overextend your elbow, you'll know it because of the pain. When you injure your elbow, apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth as soon as you can. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes at a time, as it can keep the swelling down. Never apply the ice directly to your skin. Make sure there’s a cloth between the ice and your elbow at all times. Set your elbow up on a high table while you sit, or sit on the ground and place it on a chair or couch cushion. Elevating your elbow both as you ice and after will help prevent and relieve swelling. Hold the end of the bandage against the inside of your elbow and wrap it tightly around the injury to provide compression. This will hinder movement in your elbow, allowing it to heal. Loosen the bandage if it becomes painful or makes you lose feeling in your arm. This bandage wrap is typically tan in color and is sold in a roll. Look for it in the first aid section of convenience stores. Keep your elbow as still as possible while it’s injured. The bandage should help with this, immobilizing your elbow to help it heal and prevent re-injury. Keep it wrapped as much as possible, and avoid moving it as much as you can. " While not every sprain needs to be seen by a doctor, you should visit your doctor if you heard a popping sound when your elbow hyperextended. That could mean your ligament tore rather than just stretched. The doctor will take an x-ray to check for fractures and an MRI to check the tissue, including the ligaments. You can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen, for instance, to help you cope with the initial pain. If these aren't helping after a day or 2, talk to your doctor about a prescription.  For ibuprofen, you can take 400 milligrams every 4 to 6 hours or so. Do not exceed 3200 milligrams in a 24-hour period.  For acetaminophen, you can take 650 to 1,000 milligrams every 4 to 6 hours. Don't exceed 4,000 milligrams in a 24-hour period. If you're taking extra strength, don't go over 3,000 milligrams in a 24-hour period.
