Sometimes you just need to be in the right mindset before you can pay attention. Before class starts, try looking over your homework, reading from your textbook, or looking at the previous day's notes. This can get your brain into "class mode", so that you can have an easier time focusing.  Preparing yourself by getting everything that you'll need and arranging your desk can also help you focus. This will cut down on distractions, like needing to borrow a pencil because yours is out of lead. By changing your environment, or the things around you, you can actually really help yourself concentrate. This doesn't just mean getting rid of distractions, although that can certainly help too. Just sitting in a different spot may help you focus by changing what you can do from where you sit. Sitting in the front, for example, can help you focus because you'll know the teacher is watching you. Sitting away from your friends can also help, because you won't be physically able to talk with them as much. Participating in class can also help you focus. Participation keeps your mind engaged and focused on the lesson because you can't just drift off or think about something else. Anything you can do to participate, from asking questions to getting in to group projects or discussions, can really help you. Ask questions. A good way to participate in class is to ask questions. When you have a question about something you don't understand or the teacher said something and you want to know more about it, raise your hand and ask. Even just focusing enough to listen for things you might want to ask questions about can help you pay way more attention. Taking notes can help you focus on what your teacher is saying, even if you don't think you'll need the notes to study from later. If you can use the notes then even better! As your teacher talks, make an outline with a few side notes on the really complex topics. You'll find yourself focusing better before you know it. If you don't know how to take notes, we've got you covered!...

Sometimes you might get lazy and let garbage or unnecessary stuff pile up around your room. Get a garbage bag and go around your room. Put everything that you could throw away in there.  It can be very helpful to have a little garbage can in your room for you to throw things away into. Make sure you clean it out when it gets full. Not only will this make your room less cluttered, but garbage also attracts bugs and other pests. Plus it smells. Getting rid of it will make your room smell better. You can use an old rag, or a nicer wipe, and wipe all the dust off the top of your furniture. You’ll probably find a lot of dust on places like nightstands, dressers, and your desk if you have one. Make your bed. Clear off everything that isn’t your sheets and blanket. Tuck your sheets under the corners with “hospital corners” for a neat look. Place your blanket on top and smooth it down, then fold down the top of the blanket and sheet down. Then you can put back on your pillows or anything else you like to keep on your bed.  A good time to make your bed is first thing in the morning. That way you will remember to do it right away. Also, it will make sure that the only time your bed isn’t made is when you are sleeping in it.  Your bedsheets should be washed every couple of weeks, so make sure to strip your bed when your parents ask to make sure they stay clean. You always want to keep your clothes neat so they will look good when you wear them, and so you know where they are. If you have clothes lying around the room, sort them into clean clothes and laundry. That will help decide where they go next.  If your clothes are clean,  fold them and hang them up in the closet or put them back in the dresser where they belong. If your clothes are dirty, gather them up, and take them to the laundry room. If your parents let you, you can even do the laundry, and clean your clothes yourself. Just make sure to check with them first. Once they are clean, fold them and put them away properly in your room. If you have items lying...

Sometimes you might think that you can fix all the problems of the world. A miscarriage is a problem you can’t fix — all you can do is wait for you and your wife to deal with your loss.  Realize that you may not be able to cheer your wife up. Understand that grieving after a miscarriage takes time. Your wife may take days, weeks, or even months before she seems “normal.” Your relationship might suffer, and it may not be your fault. To properly support your wife, you’ll need to move through the grieving process, too. Thus, you need to make time for yourself to come to terms with this important loss.  Find some time to quietly think about your loss. Talk to someone about it. While you wife may be able to support you, depending on the circumstance you may need to contact someone else so you can appear strong for your wife. Talk to your parents, sibling, or best friend about your loss. Contact a psychologist or counselor. They may have insight for you, and they may have insight or tactics you can use to better support your wife. Crying is okay. This is an event that has hurt you, too. Even though you are suffering a loss, too, there is no way for you to know exactly how your wife feels. This is because you’re both unique individuals who are experiencing the loss differently.  Embrace the reality that you were not pregnant and did not carry the embryo, fetus, or baby with you. While your loss is true and deep, you are only experiencing a part of it. Avoid comments like “I know how you feel.” While this may seem like a natural thing to say, she may see this as insensitive. After all, you’re different people with different roles in the pregnancy. Let her know that you may not understand how she feels. It may be helpful to articulate that you don’t know exactly how she feels. Say something like, “I feel this incredible loss, but I can’t even imagine how you feel right now."

Sometimes you will have a singular verb paired with a plural verb in the same sequence. Look at the noun closest to the verb (usually the noun following "nor") to determine the tense. If this noun is plural, make your verb plural. If it is singular, make the verb singular.  If you're in doubt, read the just the second noun and the verb aloud to see if it sounds right. Incorrect example: "Neither they nor he are interested." Correct example: "Neither they nor he is interested." Incorrect example: "Neither he nor they is interested." Correct example: "Neither he nor they are interested." When “nor” sets off a dependent clause, no comma is necessary. Similarly, a comma is not necessary if “nor” is only used to draw a relationship between two nouns. If it sets off an independent clause, however, you should proceed the “nor” with a comma.  A dependent clause is a sentence fragment that relies on the rest of the sentence to be complete. An independent clause contains both a subject and a verb, and as a result, it could be separated from the rest of the sentence and still stand on its own. Correct example: “No one knew the answer, nor did they make a guess.” Incorrect example: “No one knew the answer nor did they make a guess.”

Sometimes younger basketball players forget the game’s rules. If you don’t know the rules by heart, you will cause problems for your team. A good way to master the rules is by joining a club team when you’re young or in the summer in between seasons.  If the team on offense has the ball behind the mid-court line, it has 5 seconds to move the ball over the mid-court line or it loses the ball. Knowing a rule like this helps you prevent turnovers. The offensive team can’t bring the ball back over the mid-court line once it gets the ball over the mid-court line, or it loses the ball. These are the kinds of rules that smart basketball players know. You need to understand everything you can about your position and about court strategy. You are going to get more playing time if you are a strategic player in addition to one with strong technical skills.  You can find many training videos on YouTube. Study your past games and those of the competition. What worked? What went wrong? After a game, sit down with your coach. Together, try to come up with one area that you need to improve. Then, work on that area in practice.  Find a mentor. You can ask a basketball coach or find a good basketball player who'd be willing to teach you. Different coaches have different philosophies and systems. Figure out yours so you can adapt to it. Maybe they don’t want point guards to get more than three turnovers in a game. Whatever their own personal rules are, it’s helpful if you learn them.   Watch professional and other high-level games to see how the best play the game. Use what you learn in your own game. Don’t focus solely on scoring. One mistake young players make is they put all the emphasis on scoring.  Focus on how you can add value to your team. Maybe you are a great passer, for example.  If you’re not good at being a three-point shooter, don’t try it much. You should give up the ball to the teammate who’s better at that role. Maybe you are a great catch-and-shoot player. Then focus on that. If you are a center, you want to...

Sometimes your need for space can be more serious than simply “needing to recharge.” If someone's actions upset you and that is why you want space from them, wait until you’ve cooled off to let them know. You'll be able to articulate better why you need space when you're feeling more level-headed. Especially if the conversation may grow heated, it is a good idea to rehearse the conversation ahead of time.  Make an outline of your most important points. What do you need your friend to know? Once you have your outline, practice speaking in the mirror. You can always bring the outline with you if you think you may forget an important point. No matter how you go about it, the important thing is just to say what you need to say. Preparation is only effective up to a point. After that, you have to take the leap. Don’t over think it and don’t put it off. Just pick up the phone and call. You can always do this in person too, if it is easier for you. Avoid doing this online, however, as your words and intent could get misinterpreted. If you feel that your friend is frequently overwhelming your space or if you don’t feel like your requests for space are being heard, you may need to set some boundaries. Healthy boundaries are the foundation of a healthy friendship.  Explain which behaviors are okay, and which others are not. For example, maybe it is okay for them to email or call, but not okay from them to drop by unannounced. If you want to sever the friendship permanently, it's important to voice it. Don't put it off and give them false hope. Your need for space will not evaporate. When you need space, make sure you get it. Subtle approaches may work sometimes, but sometimes you need to be more direct. In those cases, you may need to assert your need for space more than once. Keep at it! Claiming the space you need is a powerful act of self-love!

Sometimes your yarn gets tangled between the bobbin and the flyer. Basically this means that your treadling isn't even (which happens a lot with first time spinners!). Break off the yarn, hook it back up, and start over again. This can also happen because the bobbin is too full, which causes the yarn to spill over the edges of the bobbin and tangle around the shaft. Empty the bobbin as you would normally and start fresh. Sometimes when you're spinning you lose the end. Don't fret! Roll your bobbin around a few times. Often the end is under the last hook that it was over.   Try using a piece of tape to see if you can pull up the loose end. This solution works about half the time. Otherwise, pick the most likely end and pull enough yarn for a new leader so you can start again. If your yarn is lumpy and bumpy it means that you aren't spinning it consistently. You might be pulling out too much fiber. If so, what you need to work on is getting into a consistent rhythm for spinning. Some of the same problems happen in handspinning that happen with a spinning wheel. Sometimes there is a different way of fixing it as opposed to a spinning wheel (for example, you don't have the flyer and the bobbin and so those types of tangles aren't typical).   Spindle gets away from you. If your spindle gets away from you and the twists runs up into the fiber mass, stop your spindle and untwist your fiber mass. Then, start the drafting again. This is a very common occurrence for beginners. If you have thick and thin spots in your yarn (known as slubs), you can do something like keep them and have a novelty yarn (good for knitting scarves). Otherwise you can remove the slubs by pinching the yarn with your hands on either side of the slub and untwisting until the fibers draft out a little. Over-twisted yarn is a common beginner's problem. You can tell your yarn is over-twisted if you have a thick strand that feels very hard and dense. The strand can kink back on itself when you relax your tension. To fix this, loosen some of the...

Sometimes “having the talk” just isn't an option. In those cases, withdrawing from being friendly and chatty can help to send the message home.  Begin to hang out with other people and don't return your former friend's texts or calls. If they question why you aren't texting back, just reply with a nonchalant, "Sorry, I was busy" or "I can't do long chats anymore, I don't have the time.” The other person will be offended, but in time they will get over this. Don't meet up as you used to. If this means changing plans with other friends, you may need to do so for a time. Not seeing one another is a good way to create distance and help your friend realize that you really mean it. Block the ex-friend if this works best for you. Don't reply to anything texted, IM'd or sent to you online from this person. Avoid making comments on posts, even if the rest of your circle of friends is doing so. Your absence will speak volumes to your ex-friend. If you pick up your phone only to see 15 texts and 3 missed calls, it will be something you will have to deal with. In this situation, text or call them back to arrange a time to meet. You'll then have to talk about the break up in person. If you have a fitness class together, hang out at the same diner, or even have the same friends, you may have to adjust your routine to avoid this person. Sometimes that will mean not doing what you want to do, sure, but you'll be so much happier not having to deal with this toxic relationship that you might not even notice. This can always be a temporary change until the worst blows over. Give it a few weeks, and then return to normal. He or she will then have time to calm down and get used to you not being around. If you two share friends, your other friends are going to have to be clued in. That way if your ex-friend is going to be around, they can let you know. Then, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to be social in that group. For the record, it may be easier to not hang out with mutual friends as much, at least at first....

Sometimes, One Direction have book signings at WHSmith or Waterstone. If you have the money to buy a book and get it signed, you can go wait in line and maybe get a photo. If you can't make it to a concert, try to get into the crowd when they perform on morning talk shows or on MTV performances and hang out outside. The fan club will keep you updated on concert opportunities in your area, and might even clue you into some meeting possibilities and VIP ticket packages that aren't made available for regular fans.

Sometimes, a hamster's behavior changes noticeably when she gets pregnant. Note if she is being strangely quiet, cleaning herself more often, or eating and drinking more than usual. Another common sign is an instinct to gather up large nests. If you see these telltale behavior changes, she is likely pregnant. Syrian hamsters usually grow and carry their babies for 15-18 days before giving birth. Look up the date on which you last mated your hamsters and add 15 days to it. That is the earliest likely due date for your new litter. You will not be able to tell she is pregnant until just a few days before she gives birth. By ten days after the mating, you should be able to see her belly clearly swelling, as with human pregnancies. A pregnant female will have a natural instinct to build herself a big nest. Give her extra bedding materials like paper towels or bathroom tissues so she can shred them up for her nest. You might also offer a safe (non toxic, no ink, not sharp) bedding material like Pennine “Curl Up” Hamster bedding. Make sure you have cleaned the cage five days or so before the due date, and that there is extra food and bedding in the cage. Prepare ahead of time so you do not disturb the mother and babies for the first week after birth. You want to keep her as calm and relaxed as possible. Keep her environment quiet and soothing; dim or remove bright lights. Keep curious pets like dogs and cats away from her as she gets ready to deliver her babies.  Hamsters usually give birth without problems if you wait until they are old enough to mate (four months). The birth will likely happen at night when everything is quiet. Litters can be as small as 4 or as large as 16 babies.

Sometimes, a person may not realize that they are struggling, and may stay longer than they should or try to "tough it out." This only makes things worse. Intervene on their behalf as soon as you notice that they are getting stressed, and help them take some quiet time to calm down. Your loved one is feeling overwhelmed and upset, and your support can comfort them and help them calm down. Be loving, empathetic, and responsive to their needs. Remember, they aren't doing this on purpose. Being judgmental will only worsen their stress level. The fastest way to stop the overload is often to remove them from the situation. See if you can take them outside or to a quieter place. Ask them to follow you, or offer to take their hand if they can handle being touched. Lower any bright lights, turn off music, and encourage others to give your loved one some space.  The person can tell when people are watching them and may be embarrassed or ashamed if they feel like they are being stared at. During overload, the person can have trouble understanding what is happening, and if you startle them, they may misinterpret it as an attack. Offer first, and talk about what you're doing before you do it, so they have time to decline. For example, "I'd like to take your hand and lead you out of here," or "Would you like a hug?"  Sometimes, overloaded people are soothed by a tight hug or a back rub. Other times, being touched makes it worse. Offer it, and don't worry if they say no; it isn't personal. Don't trap them or get in their way. They may panic and lash out, such as pushing you away from the door so that they can leave. Open-ended questions are more difficult to process, and when the person's brain is already struggling to cope, they may not be able to form a meaningful answer. If it's a yes or no question, they can nod their head or give a thumbs up/thumbs down to respond. The person might need a drink of water, a break, or to move onto a different activity. Think about what would be most helpful right now, and go do it.  As...

Sometimes, a scrape and a laceration can appear similar. Before you treat a scrape, you need to make sure you have one. This is important because lacerations, or cuts, require sutures or glue for treatment. A scrape is a shallow skin abrasion that is over a portion of the skin. If you have a wound that is over 1 centimeter (0.39 in) deep, you should seek medical help to treat the wound and stitch it up. Before you take care of your wound, you need to make sure you have clean hands. As long as your wound is not bleeding excessively, take the time to wash your hands with antibacterial soap. If the deep scrape is on your hands, try not to get the soap on the wound because it will hurt. After you decide it is a scrape, you need to rinse it with water. Run water over the wound to remove any debris that may have gotten into it when you were injured. The water should be lukewarm. Continuously pour water over it for a few minutes at a time. In between, check to make sure there is not more debris in the wound.  If you are not in a place where there is a clean and available water source, remove the obvious debris by brushing it away with a cloth.  If you notice excessive bleeding, rinse for as little time as possible to remove the debris. Then, move on to the next step. Once any large debris or matter is removed, you need to stop the bleeding. To do this, take a clean cloth, towel, or gauze and cover the wound. Apply solid pressure to the wound. If you only have a used shirt or dirty cloth, don't worry too much. Your wound is already dirty because it hasn't been disinfected, so don't worry too much about infection at this point. Just focus on stopping the bleeding.  Once you begin applying pressure, refrain from checking on the wound for at least seven to 10 minutes. If you stop applying pressure too soon, the blood clot will not form and bleeding will begin again. If you have waited  seven to 10 minutes and your wound has stopped bleeding, your wound can now be cleaned. If your compression cloth becomes soaked with...

Sometimes, chronic pain can cause suicidal thoughts and emotional distress. Talk with your doctor about what you can do to address your pain. It may help you feel healthier and happier. Exercise has been shown to help reduce the effects of depression and anxiety. It can be difficult to exercise if you’re feeling depressed, but setting a schedule for yourself working out with a friend can help you. Going to exercise classes can also be a good way to connect with others so you don’t feel isolated or alone. Depression often changes your sleep habits, making you sleep too much or too little. Research has shown a link between disturbed sleep habits and suicidal thoughts. Making sure to get good, undisturbed sleep can help you keep a clear head. Talk with your doctor if you can’t sleep. Drugs and alcohol are involved in many suicides because they cloud your judgment. They can also increase depression and cause reckless or impulsive behavior. If you’re having suicidal thoughts, avoid drugs and alcohol completely. If you are struggling with alcohol, find a local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous. This organization can help you overcome your problems with alcohol, which may help with your suicidal thoughts. A hobby, like gardening, painting, playing a musical instrument, learning a new language etc. can distract your mind from repeated, unwanted thoughts and make you feel a little comfortable. If you already have an old hobby, which has recently been neglected because of your low mood or otherwise, go back to it. If you don't, develop a new one. It may require some deliberate effort initially, but sooner than later, you will feel automatically attracted to it. Everyone has some achievements at some point of her life, which may be overshadowed by the current depressive state. Recount those.

Sometimes, clearing your mind is about distracting yourself from negative thoughts that creep into your consciousness. Nothing is more distracting than playing an absorbing game or making a game out of ordinary routine.  Getting physical exercise by playing sports is a great way to feel better and take your mind off whatever is bothering you. On top of that, physical activity is a great way to cure physiological ailments and soothe psychological disorders.  Make a game out of whatever ordinary activity you are performing at the time. Have to organize your room? Make a game out of it by shooting dirty laundry into your hamper. Have to run errands? Challenge yourself to be frugal and spend half of what you normally spend. They say that idle hands are the devil's workshop, so the best thing that you can do to keep your mind clear is keep your hands occupied. Your metaphorical hands. And challenging yourself to an open-ended task is a great way to do that. Here are some ideas that you can try out to stay busy:  Take a picture of yourself every day for a year. You're probably seen the montage videos by now — the succession of pictures accompanied by music, chronicling the life of a human being in pictures. It's a great idea, and anyone can try it. But you need patience and persistence to do it every day for a year. Do something you're afraid of — every day. This was Eleanor Roosevelt's famous advice, and one that strikes a chord with many people. Maybe you're afraid of interacting with other people. (Many people share this fear.) Go out and stop a stranger for directions, and then strike up a conversation. You'll slowly begin to conquer your fear, helping your mind realize that it can let go of other troubles, as well.

Sometimes, dogs bark because they're frustrated or bored. If your dog doesn't get enough exercise, he may bark because he has too much pent-up energy. Give your dog plenty of exercise and playtime to reduce problem barking. If your dog is bored, make sure he has plenty of toys. Puzzle games, especially those that involve food or treats, can be a good way to keep your dog occupied and happy. Happy dogs may bark to greet others. Teaching your dog other ways to greet them will cut down the problem barking.  For visitors to your home, teach your dog to go to a specific spot and wait to receive guests. Get her to sit and stay as you (or a helper) come in the door. Reward her with praise and treats. You can also train your dog to find a special toy near the door when people come over. If he has a toy in his mouth, he's less likely to bark when guests arrive. Train your dog to sit quietly before allowing others to pet him when you're out. This will also reduce the risk that anyone will get hurt by an excited dog. Don't reward greeting barks by acknowledging your dog. Wait until she's quieted down before you greet her and give her pets or treats. Dogs often bark to communicate their needs. If you can train your dog to alert you in other ways, he won't have to bark for everything.  For example, ring a bell whenever you take your dog outside to associate the two. Train your dog to ring the bell (hotel-service “tap” bells work very well) when he needs to go outside. Bang the water dish or food dish before you fill it. Your dog will learn to associate the two, and can bang or paw his dish when he's hungry or thirsty. Desensitizing your dog to whatever is causing her barking can help curb problem barking. Start by introducing the stimulus at a distance -- far away enough that your dog doesn't bark at first. For example, if your dog barks at a neighbor's dog, ask if your neighbor will help you.  Move the stimulus a little bit at a time toward your dog. Praise her and give her treats for staying quiet. As the stimulus...

Sometimes, especially if you are a big people-person, it can be easy to mix up 'loneliness' with 'isolation'. Loneliness is the feeling of missing someone or something, or of being left alone. Isolation is simply the act of being by yourself. While loneliness should be remedied, isolation is a normal and natural part of life. Don't feel obligated to fill up every waking moment with activities and time with people. Time by yourself is healthy and necessary, and unless you are truly feeling lonely, is not something you need to try to 'fix'. When you feel lonely and you aren't quite sure why, it can be easy to fall back on family and friends as a distraction from your emotions. However, doing this simply masks your true feelings, and won't help you to feel better in the long run. Take time to examine the source(s) of your loneliness, and work to come up with solutions for this outside of constantly relying on a friend to take you out. You'll feel better in the long run, even if it does require a bit more emotional and mental work in the meantime. It's not uncommon for someone who feels lonely to end up coping with a possibly addictive behavior - whether it be alcohol, drugs, shopping, food, or something else. When you're feeling sad and really missing someone/something, you need to address your emotions directly. Trying to avoid your feelings or working around them with addictive behavior is not only unhealthy, but it will exacerbate your loneliness problem. Take steps to make healthy life decisions when you're upset, rather than using quick fixes that make things worse down the line.

Sometimes, especially in informal writing, apostrophes are used to indicate one or more missing letters.  For example, the word "don't" is short for "do not"; other examples include "isn't," "wouldn't," and "can't."  Contractions can also be made with the verbs "is," "has," and "have."  For example, we can write "She's going to school" instead of "She is going to school"; or "He's lost the game" instead of "He has lost the game." Use an apostrophe with the word "it" only when you want to indicate a contraction for "it is" or "it has.  It is a pronoun, and pronouns have their own possessive form that does not use an apostrophe.  For example, "That noise?  It's just the dog eating its bone."  This may seem confusing, but it follows the same pattern as other possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, yours, ours, theirs. Many people use informal contractions such as "shouldn't've" or "'ought." These contractions aren't real contractions, so avoid using them in formal writing.  Another mistake to avoid is using people's names in contractions. For example, if you use "Bob's" as a contraction of "Bob is," then that's not correct. "Bob's" is supposed to be a possessive, not a contraction.

Sometimes, even if you do everything physically possible to avoid an embarrassing bodily function or gut sound, it cannot be avoided. The good news is that these noises and functions are common — they happen to absolutely everyone. So, while you may want to melt into the floor when your stomach makes a weird sound during your presentation, it may help to remind yourself that embarrassment (and gut noises) are universally experienced, and not something you need to obsess over.  Because the sounds our body makes are, ultimately, not totally under our control, try not to worry about it too much. If you'd like to minimize these noises, you can try the diet and lifestyle changes suggested in this article; but, unless it's indicating a more serious health problem, try not to worry about it too much. It is unlikely, too that anyone else is making as big of a deal out of your embarrassment as you are — it's possible, even, that no one else heard your stomach rumble. You may be experiencing the "spotlight effect," which is when you believe people are more focused on you and your actions than they really are. Everyone feels embarrassed at some point in his life — it's part of being human. And, believe it or not, embarrassment can actually be a positive thing. Research has found that people who display embarrassment are more likely to be kind and generous to others. In addition, a person who reveals his embarrassment is considered more likable and trustworthy by others. Maybe you know everyone heard the embarrassing gut noise because they responded with laughter, or a comment like "What was that?". There are many ways you can deal with the embarrassment in the moment (and some may be involuntary, such as blushing). One good tactic is to acknowledge what happened, then laugh it off or minimize it, and move on.  You could say something like, "Woah, sorry about that!" or even, "Well, that was embarrassing. Anyway..." Even if you want to run out of the room and hide, try just owning what happened and acting like it's no big...

Sometimes, if you go up or down a size in your screwdriver, you can get the screw head to catch, even if it is mostly stripped. You can also switch to a flat head instead of a Phillips. If it doesn't turn on the first try, move on to the next size. You don't want to further damage the screw head. Cut a large rubber band so you have a flat long piece instead of a circle. Lay the rubber band over the screw head, and then try to take the screw out with a screwdriver. The rubber gives it extra grip, helping you remove the screw. Sometimes, a rusted screw will bond with nearby materials. Spraying or pouring a chemical over the screw, such as liquid wrench, oven cleaner, soda (like Coke or Pepsi), or even lemon juice can dissolve those bonds. Spray or pour it in, and let it sit for 10 minutes before checking it. You may need to reapply it several times or even wait a day for the chemical to do its magic. Drip a bit of superglue on the screw head. Place the bit or screwdriver on the head. Let the glue dry, then try removing the screw by pressing down on the screw and twisting it out. If the screw top is completely stripped, use a rotary cutter to slice a small strip across the top. Pull the screw out with a flat head screwdriver or bit. If nothing seems to work, use bits to demolish the screw. For instance, you can use a large bit to drill down into the screw, essentially destroying it. You can also use a bit to take the head of the screw off and then pull the shank out with pliers.

Sometimes, instead being lucky enough to know the measurements of two of the angles of a triangle, you'll only be given a few variables, or some variables and an angle measurement. Let's say you're working with this problem: Find the measurements of angle "x" of the triangle whose measurements are "x," "2x," and 24. First, just write it down. It's the same principle that you would follow if you did know the measurements of the two angles. Simply add up the measurements of the angles, combining the variables. So, x + 2x + 24° = 3x + 24°. Now, subtract these measurements from 180° to get closer to solving the problem. Make sure you set the equation equal to 0. Here's what it would look like:  180° - (3x + 24°) = 0 180° - 3x - 24° = 0 156° - 3x = 0 Now, just put the variables on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other side. You'll get 156° = 3x. Now, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x = 52°. This means that the measurement of the third angle of the triangle is 52°. The other angle, 2x, is 2 x 52°, or 104°. If you want to make sure that this is a valid triangle, just add up the three angle measurements to make sure that they add up to 180°. That's 52° + 104° + 24° = 180°. You're all done.

Sometimes, it's better to just let a difficult person be difficult. It may be more productive to let a rude comment roll off your back than engaging in what might become a prolonged and heated argument. Similarly, you have a coworker who is very good at some specific task, it might be worth tolerating difficult behavior in order to reap the benefits of their positive qualities. In some cases, the best thing you can do is simply limit the extent to which you have to interact with a difficult person by avoiding any unnecessary contact.. For example, if the difficult individual is someone you work with, you might want to skip the department luncheon or the after-work happy hour sometimes to avoid unpleasant interactions with one of your coworkers. Sometimes, the best option is to walk away from the situation, or even the entire relationship. If this is an option, it may be worth considering.  A short-term fix to the problems presented by a difficult person is just to say: "I can't deal with this issue right now. Let's talk about it later when we've had a chance to cool off." If you have a personal relationship with a difficult person, you may need to consider ending it. This can be difficult, but if you have tried improving the situation and the person in question is not open to change, it may not be worth maintaining a relationship.

Sometimes, just being with a friend who's depressed can be a big help. If you can't be there with the person, offer your emotional support, letting her know that you're there to listen and help in whatever way you can. Being depressed can make the smallest things hard. You can offer concrete support to the person, such as volunteering to drive her places, cooking for her, or calling to make appointments for things she needs to get done. Just make sure to follow through on what support you offer. Go ahead and make the offer of support up front. Sometimes people who are depressed have a hard time reaching out for help when they need it. Even something small can mean a great deal to someone who's depressed. Bring her a coffee, or drop her a note in the mail. Try cooking her a plate of sweet treats she'll enjoy. These small gestures add up, letting her know that she's loved and you are thinking about her. If she hasn't already, try to get her to seek a professional opinion. Ask her if she's talked to a therapist or a psychiatrist, both of which can help with depression.  Because mental illnesses have a stigma in society, you should also mention that she shouldn't feel ashamed of getting help. Depression is just a disease like any other one, and it can be treated. If she's hesitant, offer to take her to an appointment or to work with her to help her feel less anxious. Maybe you can help her work through what to say or what questions to ask when she gets there. If she's not willing to see a psychologist, look up some local support groups for people with depression. You can give her the information to encourage her to go, but it's ultimately up to her. However, one way you can encourage her is to offer to take her. Many times, people with depression will isolate themselves. Encourage her to spend time with you doing things she likes or taking a walk with you. Getting out and seeing people can help on the road to recovery. Of course, you have to meet people where they are. If she doesn't feel like going out right...

Sometimes, letting someone know why and how they hurt you can make you feel like you got back at them. If possible, let your ex know you want to talk.  A productive confrontation may make you feel better. Prior to the conversation, try to write down your thoughts.  Write down how you feel and why. Try to find the best way to articulate how you were hurt. Focus on what you expect to get out of the situation. Do you want an apology? Do you want your ex to understand how he hurt you and feel bad? Expectations can skew how you behave. When you're hurt and angry, it can be especially difficult to control your emotions. If you go into the conversation expecting your ex to react a particular way, you may find yourself becoming angry or frustrated if things unfold differently.  You want the conversation to flow naturally. You do not want to react with surprise or frustration if things unfold slightly different than you imagined. Go into the conversation acknowledging you're uncertain what will occur. This way, you'll be better equipped to handle unexpected turns. "I"-statements are statements phrased in a way to reduce blame. They put focus on your feelings over an outside judgement of the situation. An "I"-statement has three parts. It begins with, "If feel..." after which you immediately state your feeling. From there, you state the action that led to that feeling. Lastly, you explain why you felt the way you did.  For example, you may be inclined to say something like, "It was incredibly hurtful that you lied to me about needing time to yourself. You immediately started dating someone else. You could have just told me you weren't interested in me romantically." Rephrase the above sentiment using an "I"-statement. For example, "I felt incredibly hurt when you told me you didn't want to be in a relationship and then had a new girlfriend in a week because I wish you have been honest with me." An apology can really help make you feel better. It lessens the need for revenge and helps you forgive someone who hurt you....

Sometimes, overflow happens. In fact, it’s happened to most at one time or another. If you bleed through onto your sheets at night, rinse the sheets in cold water and then immediately put them into the wash. If you bleed into your underwear, you can try washing them (separately or with dark colors), or just throw them away at the end of the day. Worst case scenario is that you bleed into your pants or skirt – do what you can to get through the day by tying a sweater around your waist or, if you must, going home early. Shower, change, and move on with your day stress-free. Talk about your accident with someone you trust. Remember that 50% of the world has dealt with periods – it’s likely that someone you know has had an overflow accident, too. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed to talk about it and how you feel. If you’ve experienced overflow bleeding, be prepared for next time. When you’re on your period, wear black underwear and pants. If you do have some spotting, it won’t be noticeable. You can even set aside a set of dark undies to wear only when you’re on your period. Using more than one type of menstrual hygiene product can be really effective in minimizing overflow bleeding. If you sometimes bleed through your tampons, use a panty liner or pad, too. That way you have some backup in case you don’t get to change your tampon in time. THINX period panties can also be a good backup method to a cup or tampon. THINX are made so that you can bleed right into them, then wash them out and reuse them. They hold anywhere from ½ to 2 or 3 tampons worth of blood depending on the style, and are available to purchase online. Get used to “checking on things” every hour or two. Make a quick bathroom stop in between classes or as a short work break. Check your underwear and pad, and do a wipe test if you’re using a tampon – if there’s blood on the toilet tissue after you urinate, you may be about to bleed through your tampon. Put a dark towel down on your sheets while you sleep to protect your bedding and mattress from...

Sometimes, past life regression requires tools that we are unable to master—self-hypnosis, for example, can be very difficult. Certified hypnotherapists who specialize in past life regression have been trained in the necessary fields. Here's how you can expect them to direct you:  They may play music as they talk you into a relaxed state, making you feel safe, warm, and comfortable. Let yourself follow along, and find your inner calm. Clear your mind of directed thought, and let whatever comes to you happen naturally. Relax your muscles in your body, especially your neck and shoulders letting the tension release. As you relax deeper, they may talk about the light, letting it flow through you, reaching into every part of your body, until it totally surrounds you. Once you are prepared and totally relaxed, they will open the doors to your many past lives by guiding you back through time. They'll encourage you to explore your memories, with as much detail as you recall. They may take you back to the womb, and talk you through being reborn in a past life. When you've discovered your past life, they will guide you through it, encouraging you to feel it as you remember it, only this time when you awake, you'll have full knowledge of your past. When you're session draws to the close, the hypnotherapist will slowly bring your back to the present reality and your current life. You have just experienced your past life.

Sometimes, people are perceived as being naive because their worldview is narrow or they have only limited life experience. Getting out and interacting with people who live distinctively separate lives can be a learning experience that helps you understand the world with greater nuance.  You might be naive because you grew up well-off and are blind to those less fortunate than you. Having friends from different socioeconomic backgrounds can help you to appreciate how fortunate you are. Individuals who grow up in small towns often are naive to urban lifestyles. Visiting a city and connecting with people who live there can empower you and bring you knowledge about worlds different than your own. Friendships between people from different cultures helps you to develop empathy for all human beings and respect other cultures' beliefs and practices.  You could try joining a cultural club in your community, or learning a foreign language. If you know people from other cultures and walks of life, ask them questions (politely, of course) about their customs, views, and experiences. You can only learn as much as you're willing to listen. Some naive people are that way because they were raised in very sheltered environments. Maybe your parents didn't allow you to go to parties or hang out with other kids your age, so you missed out on certain experiences.  Make up for lost time by doing all the exciting activities you can think of to change your perspective of the world and the people in it. Go skydiving, hike/camp through a national park, write a novel, or learn a new language. Novel experiences stimulate new brain cell growth. So, not only are you expanding your behavioral repertoire and collecting stories to tell, but you're also benefiting brain health. When you have always done things a certain way, it can be challenging to suddenly change the direction of your sails. However, you will never know exactly how talented you are or what you are capable of if you don't break out of the box you've been in.  Don't settle...

Sometimes, people who have difficulty staying balanced on escalators, or experience vertigo as they go down the escalator can have ear or eye issues. Get your eyes checked for any visual issues that may be causing imbalance or unsteadiness, and ask your doctor to check your ears for any issues that may be causing vertigo. Your doctor can diagnose your phobia based on your symptoms, as well as your medical, psychiatric, and social history. Be prepared to answer questions in a clinical interview about your fear of escalators and the severity of your fear.  The clinical definition of a phobia is a fear of an object or experience that is consistent for six months or more. You may experience panic attacks when exposed to the object or the experience, as well extreme distress or anxiety. You will likely recognize that your fear is irrational or unreasonable and be bothered that you cannot move past your phobia. Finally, your fear may so strong you will adjust your daily routine, your social life, or your work life to avoid confronting your phobia.  Once your doctor gives you an official diagnosis of escalaphobia, you can use this to get coverage for therapies and treatment for your issue. Your doctor can refer you to a certified psychologist, a cognitive behavior specialist, or even a hypnotherapist. Discuss these options, as well as the pros and cons of each option, before you agree to treatment.

Sometimes, sensitivity is a product of having people be especially harsh or mean to you, or abandoning you, in the past. Consider your childhood, teen years, and later experiences (if any).   Past experiences with rejection, judgment, and abandonment may make you especially sensitive to these things. People with overly critical parents or guardians may end up especially sensitive as a result (and may show signs of anxiety or depression). Untangling some of these feelings might help you understand why you feel this way. What are you afraid of? Why are you so afraid of it? Think about it. This can stir up intense emotions, including buried ones, so expect to take weeks, months, or years to work on this problem, with plenty of breaks if you get overwhelmed.  Talking to a counselor or therapist may help. People’s opinions and behaviors are just that. We become more susceptible to someone’s opinions if we are feeling doubtful and placing too much of our own self-worth on the opinions and actions of others. When you are confident in your abilities, another person’s rude behavior or negative opinion will be less likely to affect you. Feeling proud and confident in your own skills is more important than the passing opinions of others.   Write a list of your strengths and abilities to remember what your strong points are.   Make a list of things or moments that you’re proud of. Reward yourself for these good things. Think about the sorts of skills that you demonstrate during these moments. How can you do more of those things? This will help build your self-confidence. Contributing and helping others feels very rewarding and gives you a sense of purpose. This contributes greatly to feelings of self-confidence. Remind yourself of your benefits and contributions to others around you.  Consider volunteering your time at a hospital, school event, local humane society, or website like wikiHow. Having things to work towards give you a sense of self-worth and purpose. This includes things you’d like to improve on or advance...

Sometimes, shifting sleeping positions can help reduce snoring. If the snorer sleeps on their back, this can lead to an increase in snoring. Encourage them to sleep on their side or stomach instead. Just this simple change could relieve their snoring woes. Drinking alcohol, especially in excess, can relax the throat muscles, causing snoring or worsening it. Politely ask the snorer not to drink before bed, especially if you have something you need to do in the morning. If you do this gently, they’ll be happy to lay off to help you rest. If the snorer does drink before bed, encourage them to do so only in moderation, such as one small drink instead of three. Try slipping these strips of paper over a snorer’s nose before bed to reduce snoring. Grab some at your local pharmacy and give this minimally-invasive trick a try. If sleep apnea is causing snoring, nasal strips will not be effective. Raising the head of your bed just four inches can help reduce snoring. Lift the head of an adjustable bed frame or try propping the snorer's head up with extra pillows.

Sometimes, shoes squeak because the material on the outside of the shoes rubs together. If you notice the outsides of your shoes squeaking every time you take a step, try rubbing a conditioning oil into the outer parts of the shoes so they’re lubricated and less likely to squeak.  Make sure you use a conditioning oil designed for your shoe type. For example, if your shoes are made out of leather, you’ll want to use a leather conditioning oil. Keep in mind that the conditioning oil will fade over time. If your shoes start to squeak again, reapply the oil. You can find conditioning oil online or at your local shoe store. Saddle soap is a conditioning cream that can be used to lubricate shoes. If the tongues on your shoes are rubbing against the laces and making squeaking noises, rub saddle soap onto the front side of the tongues to make the squeaking stop.  You can order saddle soap online. If you don’t want to order saddle soap, try applying a conditioning oil to the tongues instead. You may need to reapply the saddle soap after the first application wears off. Moisture trapped inside of shoes can cause them to squeak. There are a couple of ways you can dry out your shoes so they don’t squeak anymore, including:  Hanging them in a dry, warm location. A laundry room or a spot near a fireplace are both good places you can hang your shoes to dry. Stuffing them with newspaper. Newspaper will absorb any moisture that’s in your shoes. Tightly stuff your shoes with crumpled balls of newspaper and leave them in a warm, dry place overnight.

Sometimes, simply ignoring a bully is a great way to cope. Bullies often thrive on attention. If a bully is not getting a reaction from you, he or she may give up and move on to another target.  Use body language to show a bully you're not interested in giving him or her your attention. Hold your head high and stand up tall to convey confidence. When the bully is addressing you, simply walk by without turning your head or paying attention. Bullies may take on online harassment as well, which can also be ignored. Simply do not respond to negative social media posts, e-mails, and instant messages. Many people are reluctant to simply ignore bullying as this feels like a cowardly response. However, ask yourself whether engaging with a bully is really worth it. While you may dislike feeling cowardly or weak, oftentimes addressing bullying only escalates the situation. The bully may get aggressive and double down on his or her efforts. Try ignoring the bully for a week or so and see if he or she backs off. Friends are a great way to deter a bully. Seek out friends who stick by you through adversity. If a bully is spreading rumors, for example, stay close to the friend who tells you he or she refuses to believe lies and gossip. Have friends accompany you during lunch, between classes, and during breaks like recess. This can help deter the bully from harassing you.  In addition to sticking by your current friends, seek out new friends with shared interests. Join a school club that interests you. Try signing up for a sport's team. Enroll in extracurricular activities outside of your school district, such as local volunteer work. This can provide you with the opportunity to meet friends outside of your own school. You should strive to make friends with people who don't bully. You may be inclined to befriend someone who has a reputation for being tough. However, if you're friends with someone who makes a habit of bullying others, this person could turn on you in the future. Seek out friends who do not bully if you want...

Sometimes, sitting back and doing nothing is the best way to get back at a bully or other tormentor who wants to get a rise out of you. By constantly going after them, hurling your own insults and spraying your anger back, they continue to hold the upper hand over you and prove that you got what you deserved. By ignoring them and cutting that person out of your life, they're dead to you. It's over and you can forget them. Being ignored can be just as frustrating, if not more, than being taken advantage of. This technique works especially well for people who seek to embarrass you in front of others, like siblings, bullies at school, or coworkers who make jokes at your expense. Don't let them boss you around. "The best revenge is living well." Act as if whatever happened that provoked your revenge affected you in no way. Put up barriers and get on with things as you always do. Even if you're stuck in a jam because of what someone has done to you, hold your head up high and don't let them see how it has hurt you. The sweetest revenge can be getting on with your life and living a better one than the person who inflicted pain on you. If you have to see the person on a regular basis, plan out great stories to tell about yourself to illustrate how well you're doing, how great your life is. If someone embarrassed you at work or school, talk about your great weekend out on the town with your huge crew of interesting friends, or the cool bike trip you took. If someone bullies you on Facebook, or constantly bombards you with irritating Tweets or Instagram photos, don't let it remain a part of your life. Unfriend them, unfollow them, and block them. You can even report them if their actions violate the site's policies. Don't let silly minor irritations become big sources of conflict. Before long, the memory of their irritating humble brags and conspicuous photos of them with your ex will fade into a distant memory. It can be tempting to get into a mud-slinging contest online, trading wall posts and having chat-style...

Sometimes, stress and too much emotion can simply come from stretching yourself too thin. Learn to say no to some of your commitments so you can fully commit to the other ones.  The best way to say "no" is to just keep it simple. That is, don't offer explanations, just say "No, I'm sorry, I can't do that." You don't have to justify why you don't have the time to commit to something.  You don't have to say no all the way. For instance, if someone asks you to bake cupcakes for a bake sale, you could say that you don't have the time to bake them, but you would be willing to buy some if that was acceptable. Don't let a list of tasks overwhelm you. Make a plan to get things done. Start with what's most important, and schedule time to get it done. Once you've started completing items on your list, you'll feel stress start to melt off. Writing in a journal about what you're feeling can be very cathartic. Over time, it can also help you learn what makes you upset, which can take some of the sting out of the situation. If you don't know where to begin, ask yourself what moments you enjoyed and what moments you didn't enjoy in your day. Look at what emotions contributed to each situation. Meditation can be as simple as learning to listen to your breathing. It's taking a step back from the world, taking your focus from your stress and relaxing your body. For instance, one type of meditation involves repeating a mantra over and over. A mantra is a short word or phrase that helps focus the mind, such as "om." However, your mantra can be whatever you want. Concentrate on letting your thoughts go, concentrating on repeating that phrase over and over. Hobbies such as knitting or even solving jigsaw puzzles help you step away from your emotions. They are like meditation in that way, helping you clear your mind. Exercise is a great way to manage stress. For one, you get lost in the motion, and it becomes a form of meditation, helping you forget what's wrong. In addition, it ups your endorphins, which make you feel better about...

Social media sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook offer connections to study groups. Log in, and in the search field, enter "CPA" and you'll see a list of all CPA-related groups. Most CPA exam prep providers also host online study groups, and links to other candidates in your area.

Sometimes, taking a break from sex can be a good way to address your sexual disorder. Instead of worrying about sex, you and your partner can focus on emotional intimacy. Many sexual disorders occur because of various emotions or stressors that end up affecting the couple's sex life. Focusing on the relationship can help you strengthen your connection, which can lead to improved sex.  For example, you may want to go for walks together, go to dinner, or do other activities. You may want to spend an entire evening talking to one another. You also may want to spend time touching in non-sexual ways, such as holding hands, holding one another, and kissing for the sake of kissing. You may have relationship problems because of the sexual disorder. You and your partner may have had some misunderstandings because of your actions, and you may have developed trust issues. There may be outside stressors that are affecting your relationship. You should work on these issues with your partner to move your relationship past this small bump in the road. Clearing up relationship problems can help lead the way to improved sex. Removing miscommunication, anxieties, and any underlying anger or feelings of resentment can make it easier to feel closer and intimate with your partner. You may decide to go see a sex therapist or couples counselor. Going to see a therapist or counselor doesn't mean that something is wrong with your relationship. Sexual disorders can cause a strain on both partners and the relationship. A sex therapist may help you learn how to build intimacy and work on techniques to address the disorder, while a couples counselor may be able to help you work through any relationship issues that have arisen due to the disorder.  If your partner suggests going to counseling, don't get angry. See it as a way your partner is trying to support you and work on your relationship. Don't get discouraged if you want to go to counseling but your partner doesn't. You can search the internet for certified sex therapists and...

Sometimes, the best means of discipline is simple prevention.  Look for things that trigger bad behavior and find ways to modify those situations to make your child more comfortable. Consider what's triggering the behavior and if there's any way some of your child's requests could be met. Is there anything you can do in the future to avoid such an outburst?  The most common reasons for tantrums are: hunger, exhaustion, fear, or confusion. If you'll be in a situation that might trigger these, consider bringing snacks or toys for the child, or even hiring a babysitter.  Allow your child to have some control. If their request is reasonable, consider accommodating it  to show them that you respect them. For example, if your kid loves her summer dress, you can let her wear it in the Fall with a jacket.  If you're overwhelmed, ask a child psychologist about ways to modify your child’s behavior. Consider working in a foster a home or school to learn how to prevent such behavior. You can't establish appropriate boundaries and discipline if you don't understand why your child is behaving poorly. Work to try to get inside your child's head and understand the roots of the behavior.   When your child is upset, connect with them on an emotional level. Say something like, "It seems like you're feeling very angry about this. Why is that?"  There may be reasons you didn't think of. For example, if your child cries every night at bedtime, it may not be due to the dark, but because they saw something scary on TV. Talk through your child's fears and reassure them that they're safe. Raising a child is about teaching positive behaviors and not just discouraging negative ones. One of the most important things you can teach a child is empathy. When your child is misbehaving, talk to him or her about why that behavior is hurtful to others. If you can, try to help them relate to another person; this is the groundwork for empathy.  For example, if they stole another student's pencil, you could say, "I know you liked the bunny pencil...

Sometimes, the best way to prevent being annoyed is to get space from the person who is bothering you.  Walk a different route to your classes, take a different lunch break at work, or even reconfigure your office so that you do not have to face them if you are in neighboring cubicles.  If you work closely with the person, this might be a bit difficult, but you can set up more phone calls and emails rather than meeting in person frequently. Though you cannot change the person, you can alter your surroundings.  Perhaps the person who annoys you lives in your home or is someone you work with.  If you have your own room or your own office, you can simply close your door when you need some alone time or when you have something to work on that requires your full attention.  Exercise your right to privacy as much as possible and whenever you need it. One other way to monitor and limit your interactions is to make yourself unavailable so that they cannot approach you.  Put your headphones in, make a phone call, or put your purse or bookbag in the chair next to you so they can’t sit by you. If that is the only seat left, don’t be cruel.  Allow them to sit down and pull out a book so they know you are busy. Though you should steer away from gossip, if the person’s annoyance begins to escalate, tell a friend or give them a sign so they can create an excuse for both of you to walk away from the person. Don't make it obvious that you are trying to get away from the person, or they will think you are mean, especially if they do not intend to annoy you. Perhaps your sign is that you pat their shoulder or wink at them. Sometimes, the best way to keep yourself calm is to walk away.  If someone is annoying you in particular and you feel yourself on the verge of lashing out, step away, take a walk, go get a snack, or go to the restroom.  You will often find that once you return to the situation, you will be much calmer and less likely to respond negatively. For instance, if a coworker is bragging again about how much money his...

Sometimes, the best way you can make your husband see how much you love him is to encourage him through your words. Make him feel good about the new project he’s been working on, his new job interview, or about patching things up with his father.  Be there to make him feel good about himself instead of cutting him down for no reason. Let him see that you think he’s an amazing man with endless potential; sometimes, your words can make him feel better about himself than anything else. Simply saying something like, “You’re so good with people. I’m sure you have nothing to be nervous about. I think you’ll love working on this new project,” can make him feel more confident in his actions. You can also say, “You’re so determined that I have no doubt you’ll be able to run this marathon. I don’t know anyone who works as hard as you.” Saying “I love you” can often do the trick best of all. Make an effort to tell your husband you love him at least once a day and to look him in the eyes when you say it so he knows you mean it.  Make eye contact and stop everything to get this message across instead of saying “Love ya!” like you’re just required to say it. Put your heart into him and let him know how loved he truly is. Though telling him you love him in person is most effective, saying these words over the phone or over email can also make him feel more loved. Don’t just say “I love you” when you’re on a date or going through a hard time. Sometimes, saying it just because will yield the best results. Taking the time to compliment your husband can also make him feel loved. Tell him how handsome he looks in his new shirt, say that he always knows how to make you laugh, and tell him that he’s incredibly good with new people.  Find a way to make him see that you truly think he’s special, and do your best to make sure that your compliments are genuine and that you’re not just saying them to butter him up If you have kids, make sure they hear you praising their father so they know how amazing he is. Here are some other...

Sometimes, the cause of peeling lips is the result of our own actions. Oftentimes, people bite their lips somewhat unconsciously when feeling anxious, bored, or stressed. If you notice your lips are peeling or cracked, try to figure out if you've been biting your lip. If you have, take measures to stop the habit.  Try to figure out what situations lead to lip biting. Do you bite your lips when you're feeling anxious or engaging in certain social situations, like meeting new people or interacting with co-workers? Do you simply bite your lips when you're bored, like when watching TV or waiting for a bus?  After identifying what situations lead to lip biting, engage in anxiety and boredom reducing behaviors that do not have a negative effect on your body. You could try deep breathing, relaxing your muscles, or what is called a competing response. This is a behavior you engage in that makes it impossible to bite your lip. You could, for example, chew gum to occupy your teeth with an alternative activity. If your lip peeling occurs after exposure to a certain food, cosmetic product, or season it may be allergy-related.  Cosmetic products, lip balms, toothpastes, dyes, and fragrances often contain material which irritates the lips, eyes, and mouth. If you notice your lips peel after using a particular product, you might want to ditch that item and opt for an alternative.  Even if you don't believe your peeled lips are a result of cosmetic products, it's best to ditch the lipstick and lip balm until peeled lips heal. Such products can carry germs and peeled lips are more susceptible to infection.  Certain seasons, like early spring, can trigger allergic responses due to the increase of pollen in the air. If you're sensitive to seasonal change, try spending more time indoors or purchasing over-the-counter allergy medications. Allergen exposure can also lead to mouth breathing, which puts strain on the lips by exposing them to more air and debris. This can cause peeling and chapping. When our lips are dry and chapped,...

Sometimes, the fear of failing can trigger responses in the body similar to panic or anxiety attacks caused by any other fear.  Your first step in stopping such a panic attack is to realize the symptoms at the onset of one.  Look for some of the following symptoms:  Increased heart rate or irregular heart rhythm. Difficulty breathing or tightness in throat. Tingling, shaking, or sweating. Feeling light-headed, dizzy, or as if you are about to pass out. During a panic attack, your breathing will likely consist of short, quick breaths that will only help maintain the panicked state.  Take control of your breathing and inhale deeply and slowly, to help bring back a normal rhythm to your breath.  Breath in slowly, for five seconds, through your nose.  Use your diaphragm, not your chest, to breath in.  Your stomach should rise with the breath, not your chest. Exhale at the same slow pace, again, through your nose.  Make sure you fully exhale all the air in your lungs while focusing on counting to five. Repeat this cycle of breathing until you begin to feel calm. Your body will likely be very tense during a panic attack and this tension will only add to the feeling of anxiety.  Work to release the tension in your muscles by tensing, holding, and releasing those muscles.  You can tense and release all the muscles in your body at once, for a quick and full body relaxation technique. For greater relaxation, start by tensing the muscles in your feet, holding them for a few seconds, and then releasing the tension.  Move up your body, tensing and releasing your lower leg, upper leg, stomach, back, chest, shoulders, arms, neck, and face.

Sometimes, the fertilizers we're using are inadvertently attracting dogs to our garden. Changing how and when you use fertilizer can be a great way to discourage dogs from getting into your yard.  Dogs react strongly to new smells and odors, and may be put off if a smell suddenly changes. This can signal to them that another animal has potentially infiltrated their space. Switch up with fertilizers you use periodically to make dogs wary of entering your garden. Organic fertilizers are great, but can sometimes contain smells that attract dogs. Look up information on the fertilizer you're using online to see if anyone has had issues with a particular fertilizer in terms of it attracting dogs. Oftentimes, people are tempted to use rabbit or deer repellents in conjunction with fertilizers to keep dogs at bay. The problem is, such repellents often contain coyote urine and this attracts dogs. Avoid such repellents when trying to keep dogs out of your garden. Dogs are likely to return to the same spot if they believe it's dog friendly. When a dog uses your garden as a bathroom, they leave their scent behind and other dogs assume relieving themselves in this space is okay. Clean the area thoroughly after finding dog feces.   Dog's often pee in the same places they defecate. Dog urine can leave burn marks on grass and plants, so douse the area with a hose shortly after removing the feces. This neutralizes the acidity of the urine and lessens its effect on the garden. You can also rake compost into the area, which contains soil organisms that balance soil biology and chemistry. Just be sure to move any compost bags well out of a dog's reach. Throw any fecal matter into a closed dumpster, after sealing it in a plastic bag. You don't want the smell to attract more dogs to the area. Whether home made or store bought, a variety of repellents cause unpleasant smells and sensations that will discourage unwanted dogs from entering your garden.  Garlic, olive oil, and almond oil have been known to keep dogs away when sprinkled...

Sometimes, the pain is just going to hit you again, and you may feel like you need to cry. That's fine! Take some time to cry. But, don't forget to laugh, too. Watch some silly videos on the internet, check out some cute memes, or put in your favorite comedy. Laughter is good for the soul, and it can make you feel as good or better than a good cry. Go out with friends and have a good laugh together! When you're grieving, you may not want to eat at all, or you may want to just eat junk food. However, that can just make you feel worse, when you crash from a sugar high, for instance. Make sure you're getting in some fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins at the very least. Of course, you can still have that piece of chocolate cake or a bag of chips, especially in the first day or so. Just try not to only eat chips and cake. Opt for some healthy foods, too. Take a hike in the woods or go for a walk with a friend. Kayak across a nearby lake or go for a swim in your favorite pool. Play a game of tennis, run in a park, or just hit the gym. Yoga is also a great option. Whatever you do will help get you out of your head and make you feel better.  Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Exercise is great for the brain because it releases feel-good chemicals in your body. If you're outside, you'll also get the benefit of vitamin D! Plus, it's great for your body and gets you out of the house. Sleep is your body's way of healing, and that's true for emotional pain, too. If you're having trouble sleeping, make sure to leave extra time to get to sleep, and work on getting at least 8 hours each night.  Try getting into a nighttime routine. Shut off your electronics at least an hour before you want to go to bed, so your brain starts winding down. Have some warm milk or herbal tea, or take a warm bath to soothe your mind. You may have the opposite problem, too, where you want to sleep all the time. While getting some extra sleep isn't a bad idea (9-10 hours a night), try not to overdo it. Force yourself...

Sometimes, the scale needs to be zeroed out to be accurate. This can be done in two ways, depending on the scale you have. If you have an analog scale, press down on the scale with your hand and then lift up. The dial should level out to zero.  If it doesn't, use the turn wheel, usually located at the bottom of the scale or near the dial, to move the dial of the scale to zero while it's resting. Test it again to ensure it is at the right place. If you have a digital scale, follow the same procedure as with an analog except the balancing will be done with a digital button instead of a turn wheel. One way to check the accuracy of your bathroom scale is to test an object that you already know the weight of. It needs to be large enough to register on your scale but small enough that you can carry it to the scale. Try something like a new, unopened bag of flour or sugar. These generally are five to ten pounds and should be a consistent weight.  The weight of the paper or plastic bag these things come in shouldn't mess with the weight. If the flour or sugar comes in a heavy sack or metal container, you won't get an accurate reading and you should try another object. You can also try hand weights. The weight of these objects will be written on the side. Test to see if they are the weight they say they are. Another way that a scale may be inaccurate is across multiple weigh ins. Take an object you know the weight of, such as a hand weight or bag of sugar. Place it on the scale and note the weight. Take the object off and let the scale return to zero. Place the object on the scale again. Note the weight again. Repeat this at least five times to make sure that the scale in consistent over multiple weigh ins. You can weigh the object more if you get inconsistent results. Just make sure you do it an odd number of times so you can't have split results. Another way to make sure that a scale is accurate is to check the weight of two objects together. This will typically give you a larger amount of pounds, which will help...

Sometimes, there are things that you just can’t do on your own without the help of the people you love. Ask your parents to help you make a difference by implementing some new family policies and practices.   Ask your parents to adjust the thermostat by a few degrees so the furnace or air conditioner doesn’t have to work quite as hard. Explain to your parents that CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) will use 70 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, which will save both energy and money.  Remind your parents to remember their reusable mugs when they grab coffee to go. Most cities and towns have local farmers markets, and going with your friends and family can be a great way to support your local community, teach everyone the importance of shopping locally (so that less greenhouse gases are used transporting food to your table), and find fresh and delicious produce for your meals. Remember to take your reusable shopping bags to the farmers market as well as the grocery store. The packaging used to wrap fruits, vegetables, and premade meals is often plastic, and plastic requires fossil fuels. It might take some getting used to, but it’s possible to leave the grocery store without any excess packaging. Remember, cooking can be time consuming, so offer to help your parents with preparation of meals that use fresh ingredients. This will save them time, help teach you to cook, and encourage your parents to buy fresh more often.   Buy whatever you can in bulk instead of prepackaged portions, such as grains, flours, pastas, and spices. Buy loose produce, such as individual carrots, instead of pre-bagged fruits and vegetables. If animal protein is an important part of your family's diet, you can take an interest in learning more about fishing or hunting small game animals.  Domestic meat and dairy production account for an estimated 18 percent of global emissions, and cutting these items from your diet completely would cut your food-related carbon footprint in half. Encouraging your parents to eat less meat and...

Sometimes, to get a better understanding of what you want in a relationship, it’s best to inform yourself on what you don’t want. Figuring out what you want can be tricky, but, usually, you know exactly what you don’t want. Sit down and put together a list of criteria that would disqualify a potential match first. Research shows that common deal-breakers for those interested in long-term relationship are:  Having anger issues or exhibiting abusive behaviors Dating several people at once Being unworthy of trust Being already in a relationship or married Having health issues like an STD Having a drug or alcohol problem Being inattentive Having poor hygiene You can think of your personal values as a roadmap detailing the sort of life you’d like to lead. It’s unlikely to think that a romantic partner will share all the same values as you. However, it’s important for you to know what yours are so that you can know which principles and beliefs you are not willing to compromise.  For example, if you think honesty is really important, you are unlikely to mesh well with a partner who lies. What’s more, it’s likely to cause a rift in the relationship if your partner expects you to lie. Find out your core values by answering these questions and looking for reoccurring themes:  If you could change something about the community you live in, what would it be? Why? Who are the two people you respect or admire the most? What traits do you admire about these people? If your home caught on fire and all the living beings were safely out, what three items would you choose to rescue? Why? Which moment in your life made you feel very satisfied? What happened to make you feel that way? Think back on relationships you have had in the past—whether romantic, platonic, or familial. For those relationships that ended badly, consider the factors that contributed to the relationship dissolving. What about those relationships left you dissatisfied or unhappy? Write down any negative patterns you can uncover from your relationships with...

Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in our wants and needs, that we fail to ask what our partners want or need. This neglect can put a damper on a relationship, which is why it is important that we ask our partners about what they want. When you notice any differences in your partner's behavior, ask them:  How they are doing emotionally and physically What are they wants, needs, or expectations If they are happy, tired, etc. Openness is crucial to a relationship; building emotional walls will weaken a relationship and shut your partner out of important aspects of your life. It’s important to be emotionally vulnerable with your partner; be honest, share your sincere feeling, hopes, and concerns. You should also expect the same level of openness and vulnerability from your partner. You can start a vulnerable conversation by saying something like:   “I’ve been having a hard time at my job lately; can I talk to you about it?” “I’m worried about a direction that our relationship is taking. Can I talk to you about us?” “I haven’t been very happy lately; it’s a struggle to get through the day & I’m concerned about it. Do you mind if I open up to you about this?” Rather than idealizing your partner or holding them to unrealistic standards, enjoy and respect them for the human they actually are. Every person has flaws and strengths, and it is important to understand and accept all the parts of your partner’s personality. Treat your partner with the same patience and respect that you would like to be treated with, and forgive them when they offend you. Holding grudges and records of offense will only create suspicion and mistrust in your relationship.  Don't expect forgiveness to happen overnight. Sometimes, it can take several nights, weeks, or even months. This is perfectly fine. Although healthy physicality in a relationship will often include sexuality (which should develop in a way comfortable and fun for both partners), physical contact can be much more than sexual acts. Even the slightest physical touch can show...

Sometimes, we need a little boost to help get us going on a task or project. Say out loud or write down the reason why you need to do something. Tell yourself the benefits of getting it done.  For example, you might say, “I am going for a run right now because I want to become fitter” or “I need to do this homework so that I can get an A.” Remind yourself of the dangers of procrastination. Promise yourself something like “If I get this done now, I can leave work early today” or “If I can get this out of the way, I can work on something more fun.” Build a vision board with images that represent what you want to accomplish in your life. It will help serve as a reminder of what you really care about. You may dread hours of work, but if you break your day down into smaller segments, work can be easier to deal with. Start with easier tasks that you can complete quickly to build momentum. For example, instead of saying, “I have to work all morning,” say, “I'm going to write this report in 1 hour, then I will go to the meeting at 11, and then it will be lunchtime.” Block off segments and tasks in a planner or calendar app. Use different colors to mark off different tasks and time blocks. This can break up your day and make it easier to face. If you're dreading the task or activity, it can be difficult to start. In this case, find a way to make the task more exciting. You might include other people or challenge yourself in a new way. Mixing things up can also help you get things done.  For example, if you want to become fitter but hate going to the gym, take an exercise class, such as kickboxing, Zumba, or barre. If you're studying for an exam, compete with a friend. See who can answer the most questions correctly or solve the problem the fastest. Even if it's just a small accomplishment, pat yourself on the back. You can give yourself a short break from work, treat yourself to a snack or latte, get a massage, or celebrate with friends. This can keep you excited and motivated for the next step. While it is important...

Sometimes, when siblings act out, all they want is time and attention. This may be true especially if your sibling is younger than you. They may want you to read to them, play with them, or just spend more time around them. When a sibling is annoying you, simply telling them that you need a break from the annoyance can work, as long as you tell them respectfully. Simply telling them to stop will give you better control of the situation and empower you to stand your ground even more next time. They'll also learn that you will only take so much. Whether it’s studying, hanging out with friends or working on projects, help your sibling to understand that they need to respect your time. You don’t need to schedule hour-long blocks of sibling-only time: you can space a couple of 15 minute breaks to spend with them throughout your day. Throw a football, talk to them about their day, cook a meal with them, or play with toys. Ask your brother or sister what they’d like to do, and spend a whole day on an adventure.  Take them to a museum and explore the exhibits Go to a sporting event Go shopping and buy them something nice Go to the movies and then out to eat If talking alone doesn’t keep your sibling at bay, strike a bargain. Giving them something they want can help maintain peace in your house! Consider compromises, such as:  "If you can go a week without bothering me, I'll do the same." "If you leave me alone while I do my homework, I'll take you to get ice cream later." "If you stop messing with me, I'll let you have the house to yourself when you hang out with friends on Friday." Consider whether you've been rude, irritating or needy towards them lately. It might be possible that you're doing the same things to them that they've done to you. Ask them what bothers them about your behavior, and promise to stop your bad habits if they stop theirs.
