Think about what you want and why. Is it an object or an experience? Once you know what it is, ask yourself the following questions. They will prepare you for the conversation ahead: Why do you want this? Why should your parents get it for you? If you can't think of a good answer, then don't ask your parents yet. If you don't know why you want something, they’re less likely to give it to you.  To know what is a "good" reason to your parents, look at what they value. Depending on differences in culture and family this could be many things. Helping with family business and caring for siblings may impress some parents, whereas efforts in school and extracurricular activities may convince other parents more effectively. Figure out when they have praised and appreciated your actions; these are "good" reasons to get you what you want. It's also possible that some parents will be more impressed by logical arguments. Prepare a few good reasons why you want or need this item/trip/experience. It will show your parents you aren’t just acting on impulse or cravings, and have given thought before coming to them. Some "good" examples may be that it will help you progress in school, prepare you for adulthood, or help you grow as a person. Other "good" answers may be that it will feed your imagination, bring you relief from the challenges in your life, or benefit the entire family and/or community. Reasons that focus on self-centered, or irrational wants will be less convincing. For example don’t say, “because my friend has one.” Parents will often take this to mean you are just following fads, want to be like others, and won’t really value the gift. Other not so "good" reasons are that you "just want it," that you “deserve it,” or that you “need to have it.” Also, complaining that they are mean parents if they don't get it for you is also unlikely to work. Check eBay, Amazon, and other used goods vendors for lower prices. If it is an experience, look for cheap travel options, as well as inexpensive places to stay. When you...

Think about what you want to do and how long it will take. For example, if you need to plan an outfit and shave your beard, you may only need an hour or so. However, if you want to do makeup and style your hair, you will need as much time as you can get. If you’re on a time crunch, try to do some things ahead of time. For example:  Plan your outfit the day before. Do your hair before you go to work or school. If you dye your hair, touch up your roots a few days in advance. A large part of looking great is being clean. While you shower, complete any other grooming activities, such as shaving your legs, exfoliating your skin, or touching up your roots with hair dye.  Remember to apply deodorant after showering. Other shower grooming activities include:  Conditioning your hair to give it a silky shine Taking a bath to help you relax for the party Scrubbing your skin with a loofah to rub away dead skin After showering, cover your skin with moisturizer to make your skin glow and repair any damaged skin cells.  This step is especially important if you like taking hot showers or if you have recently exfoliated your skin. Additionally, wait thirty minutes after moisturizing to apply any makeup or it may slide off.  If you’ve shaved your legs, moisturize with baby oil to give them a glamorous shine.  If your face is oily, use a special moisturizer for acne-prone skin. For special occasions, consider using a tinted or shimmering moisturizer. If you have long hair, you may need to blow dry it before styling it. If you have short hair, you can let it air dry. If you don’t know how to style your hair, there are many helpful YouTube videos that will teach you how. Alternatively, if you’re attending an especially formal event, consider getting your hair styled professionally.  To straighten your hair, you will need a blow dryer, a brush, a straightening iron, and soft styling spray. If you want to curl your hair, you will need curlers or a curling iron and some setting hairspray. Men can style their hair with pomade or gel...

Think about what you want to say in your prayer letter and quickly take a few notes. This will help you stay on track while you’re writing your letter to God. Make a short outline regarding the topics you want to cover in your letter. The act of writing in itself can be very cathartic and cleansing. Keeping your thoughts organized by taking a few notes ahead of time will ensure that you remember to discuss all of the pressing issues in your life. When we pray, it can often be easy to lose our train of thought or get sidetracked by some other idea that crosses your mind. When you write a prayer letter to God, you are able to focus on the task at hand and keep your thoughts organized.  Think about one prayer item at a time and write about it in your letter. Don’t move on to the next topic until you’ve said what you want to say about each thing. The Bible tells us that we should pray ceaselessly every day. This means that we should always be talking to God throughout the day. But writing a prayer letter is a great way to spend some focused time on one particular issue rather than thinking about all the things that happen in your life. Focus on getting clarity on this one issue instead of trying to resolve too many things at once. Praying to God is a very personal experience. In this moment, you are free to converse with your Lord however you want to. You can discuss anything you want in any way that you want. Don’t feel pressure to do it a certain way. The important thing is to remember that there isn’t one right way to pray to God. This also applies to writing a prayer letter.

Think about what you want to say to your family member. Avoid confronting them right away, especially if you’re feeling too angry or hurt to stay calm. Give yourself time to cool down and consider your approach. One helpful strategy is to write your family member a letter that you don’t actually intend to give them. Put the letter away for a few hours or overnight. Then come back to it and revise it. This will help you sort out your feelings and decide what to say. To understand the seriousness of their mistake, your family member needs to know what kind of emotional impact their theft had on you. Tell them how disappointed and betrayed you feel.  Stay as calm as you can. Don’t raise your voice or let your emotions get the better of you. Say something like, “I am so disappointed that you took the money in my wallet. I never would have guessed that you would do something like that.” This part of the conversation will probably be uncomfortable, but it is necessary. If your family member doesn’t feel remorse for what they’ve done, they may try to steal from you again in the future. Your family member may say things like “I was only borrowing it” or “I meant to ask you, but I forgot.” Don’t believe them or let them off so easily. Even if their excuses happen to be true, taking your things without asking is still stealing, and your family member needs to know better. Have your family member help you come up with a plan for making things right. If they took an item, they should return it or replace it. If they stole money, they should pay it back. Make a payment plan if necessary. Let your family member know what you will do if they don’t make amends. Set some consequences so that your family member won’t get away with their theft, even if they refuse to cooperate with you. Your consequences should depend on the nature of the theft. Some possible consequences could include not allowing the person in your house anymore, severing your relationship with them, or going to the police. If the person who stole from you is...

Think about where your book takes place. Think about what the architecture looks like, how cities are laid out, what the natural environment looks like, etc. Now, write all of that down. This will allow you to (first of all) be consistent in your descriptions but also more detailed, creating richer more realistic environments. You can tell someone the sky is green, you just have to make them believe it by telling them how at sunset it faded from the pale green of a leaf’s belly to a rich green which made everything seem dull by comparison before darkness set into an almost iridescent color like a crow’s feathers. Make them see it by understanding it well enough yourself that you can explain it. Say you are writing about a band of adventurers trying to reach a fabled city on the other side of a mountain. That’s great. The problem is, it takes a long time to cross a mountain. Things are bound to happen during the crossing of a mountain. You cannot simply have them cross in two days as if it is no big problem. If they have to cross a continent on foot, you need to allocate time for that in your plot. You will need to appeal to all of your audience’s senses if you want them to be fully immersed in the text. Don't just tell them what your characters ate. Tell them how the juice of the meat burst forth as they bit into it and the taste is a mix of the grease and the smoke from the fire. Don’t just tell them that a bell was ringing right above your character’s head. Tell them about how the sound was so loud that it pierced every thought until only an awareness of the ringing persisted.

Think about which environmental factors and study skills help you retain information and do your best on exams. Decide whether you prefer to work in a quiet space by yourself or if a public place like a library or coffee shop helps keep you on task. Reflect on whether you remember facts better when for you to review your own lecture notes or when you skim the textbook and old class assignments. Figure out what combination of factors will bring out your most positive, productive, and focused self so you can implement this system into all future study sessions.  Think back to past study sessions that went especially well, and others that didn’t go well at all, to assess which factors help and hinder your progress. If you’re able to develop a personalized study system, studying will be a lot less stressful for you. Studying day after day can be grueling, but rather than fixating on the negatives, get yourself in a positive frame of mind by visualizing all the good that your hard work will bring. Imagine yourself getting a good score on a test, receiving praise from your teacher, or feeling proud of your end-of-term grades. Let these good feelings wash over you as you reframe your perspective on studying.  If you’re hoping to attend college or earn a scholarship, think about how each small study session will get you 1 step closer to your dreams. Use your long-term goals as motivation to keep pushing yourself. Set concrete goals for your study session. Divide your larger studying goals into small, manageable steps. Identify specific, achievable goals that you can work on one at a time. This way, you can make good progress and achieving each goal will make you feel accomplished at the end of your study session.  It’s easy to get overwhelmed by a huge amount of homework and seemingly endless assignments. But rather than worrying, “How will I ever finish this assignment?” ask yourself, “How much of this assignment can I accomplish in 2 hours?” Instead of trying to read a whole book in 1 sitting, set a goal to read 1...

Think about which flower(s) are going to act as the star for the centerpieces, such as hydrangeas, tulips, lilies, etc, and then decide if you are going to focus on a certain color palette or mix of shades and tones to choose the complementary flowers.  Purchase cut flowers from a florist with good quality flowers and lots of variety. If you are going to use a mixed variety of flowers for the arrange, collect five varieties of leaves or shapes. If you are going for a more simple arrangement, look for perhaps one star flower and one complementing flower with a different leaf shape. Ask your wedding planner to recommend a florist or call around and compare prices for wedding arrangements from several florists.  There are also online sites where you can order floral arrangements in bulk, a great option if you are creating centerpieces for a large wedding.  If you decide to use silk flowers instead of fresh ones, order silk flowers online in bulk and create your own silk flower arrangements. You may want to also consider using succulents or tropical plants to create a unique look for the centerpieces. The type of container for the floral arrangements you use should complement the color or theme of the wedding, as well as the size, shape, and color of the flowers. You could use classic glass vases, mason jars, or alternative holders like wicker baskets or clay pots. Look for vessels that are one to two inches shorter than the flowers you are going to use. A wide neck on a vase or jar allows the flowers to sit higher on longer stems, which more narrow vases or jars are usually better for shorter stems. Because you are going to be using fresh cut flowers, avoid wilting buds or dull petals by creating the centerpieces the day before the wedding and then storing them in a cooler or refrigerator until the reception so the flowers remain fresh looking. You will also need a pair of scissors (or several pairs if someone is assisting you) and access to fresh water. Fill the container about halfway with water. Place the...

Think about who populates the universe. Is it humans and human-like being? If so, what type of humans are in the universe? You may base the humans in the universe on human groups that exist in our world or merge several groups to create the humans of your fictional universe.  For example, you may decide that there is a race of humans that were colonized by another race to create a hybrid race. You may use elements of American slavery and the colonization of indigenous peoples in Canada as templates for the human groups in your universe. If you do use existing human groups as a template for the people in your universe, make sure they are multi-dimensional and not based solely on stereotypes. You are creating a fictional universe, after all, so you can add in nuances and oddities as you see fit, even to the humans who inhabit the universe. Your universe may also have otherworldly beings or creatures, such as elves, dwarves, and fairies. You may have otherworldly creatures who live among humans or a universe populated by only creatures and no humans. You can also make up your own species, where there are magical elements and human elements present in the beings in your universe. Let your creativity run wild and create a species that will be unique and engaging. You may also want to account for the role of certain objects in the universe and their role. These could be objects that are used by every being in the universe or objects that are only used by a select few. Start by focusing on objects that have an important role in the universe and then move down to less important objects that are used in the more mundane aspects of the universe. For example, maybe the universe is held together by a central object, such as a shard of dragon’s glass or a molten ball of gold. Or, maybe the universe is populated by special objects that grow on trees or on the graves of the dead. Use your imagination to sketch out several key objects in the universe to make it feel more detailed and well-rounded. Though not every fictional...

Think about who your time capsule is for. This will help you pick contents, a location for the capsule, and a container. Whether you plan to open the capsule yourself, you would rather have your grandchildren open it, or you want a stranger from the distant future to stumble upon it, you should be clear about your intent. If you are struggling to find an audience, think about what kind you would most like to open. Do you wish your grandparents had left you a time capsule filled with memorabilia and handwritten notes? Does the thought of opening a 150 year old capsule left by someone lost to time long ago thrill you? . Depending on your audience, you may have different priorities for your contents. You can always collect more objects for your time capsule than you end up putting in. Your only limits are space and the ability of your capsule contents to be safely stored.  If the capsule is for yourself, focus on personal mementos of your life as it is right now. Things like a pair of earbuds you wore every day for 2 years, an old key, or a takeout menu from a favorite restaurant will bring memories back in just a few years. For a time capsule that you plan to pass down to your children or grandchildren, find things that will interest them about your life and your world. Both personal objects of significance to you and your family, like wedding invitations, and things that depict the state of the world, like technology, are good choices. If your capsule is for people in the far future to uncover long after you are gone, focus on the era you are in. Things that may seem to be of little value now may be fascinating to someone in 75 or 100 years. Write down all of the contents and place the list in the capsule and in your records. This will help future openers know that everything is in place, and help you remember what you put in the capsule.

Think about who you’d be if you were fully expressing your values. Where would you want to live? What type of work would you do? How would you spend your free time? Make sure your choices are aligned with the personal values you’ve identified. For example, you might decide that in your ideal life you’d be helping people get fit through dance. You might imagine yourself living in a big city on the coast, teaching cardio dance classes at a gym, and going to the beach with friends in your spare time. Additionally, you might decide you want to own several pets because you love animals. Finding a career that fits your personal values helps you find meaning and purpose in life. Think about the types of tasks you might enjoy doing on a daily basis, what type of environment you’d want to work in, and who you’d like to work with. Then, look for a career that reflects these values. For instance, let’s say you want to help people in your community and do community impact projects. Careers that have these qualities might include nonprofit work, government and political jobs, social work, urban planning, and public health. Brainstorm 3-5 things you can do to start living your best life. Break down your list into steps that are easy to complete. Then, pick 1 thing that you can do today. Going forward, choose 1 small thing each day that you can do to start aligning your life and career with your values. Over time, you should find that your life is more aligned with your values. This process can be slow or quick, depending on what’s comfortable for you.

Think about why you are concerned about your child. Do they seem to be feeling differently? Have they had unexplained changes in mood? Maybe it seems like your child is acting fearful for no clear reason. It is possible that it could be marijuana use. Marijuana is a psychoactive substance; it interacts with the user's brain, temporarily changing the way he or she thinks and feels. Smoking marijuana can cause cognitive impairment during a high which increases as more marijuana is consumed. If you think your child may be high, look for the following mental symptoms:  Slowed reaction time Impaired decision-making Diminished memory A tendency to "space out" or lose the thread of conversations Paranoia or irrational beliefs that one is in danger. This symptom may be more common among users with existing psychiatric problems or a predisposition to them. It's normal to be concerned about your teenager, but it is also normal for teens to go through rapid mood changes. At times, trying to keep track of your child's moods can seem like you are on a roller coaster. It is important to remember that teenagers are going through a lot of changes, both physically and emotionally. Some changes in behavior and mood are typical. Try doing some research or asking a trusted friend for advice in order to help you better understand your teen's actions. Even though your teen might not always acknowledge it, you are one of the most important people in his life. Your relationship is sometimes a big factor in why your teen behaves the way he does. Try to step back and objectively think about your relationship. Has anything changed recently? Is it possible that your teen is acting differently as a reaction to something that is going on in your home life? Although teens often behave in a confusing manner, not all of it can be chalked up to normal teenage angst. Pay close attention to all aspects of your child's life, while at the same time respecting their boundaries and growing independence. If the signs are all pointing to possible...

Think about why you need your short bio. Is it for a personal website, work profile, or fellowship application? Knowing who will read your description can help you figure out how to achieve the right overall tone. Check any guidelines for the bio provided by your (potential) employer, publication, or other organization. When in doubt, find out if there’s a contact person, and ask any questions you may have about specific requirements.  For instance, a job application, author bio, or company directory listing may call for 100 to 300 words. Your bio might need to be longer for a grant proposal or bio for your professional website. In addition to length, your description may need to follow a set order, such as name and title, education history, research focus, and achievements. Short bios typically list your most important awards and accomplishments. Write down your academic degrees, awards, and professional achievements, such as major work project, publications, or certifications. Depending on the nature of your description, list personal accomplishments, too, such as running marathons or visiting every state capitol building.  Examples of professional accomplishments include “Revamped purchasing protocols to cut the company’s costs by 20%” or “Recognized as the company’s top-grossing salesperson for fiscal year 2017.” Avoid simply writing a list of personal characteristics, like “enthusiastic” or “hardworking.” Focus on including specific skills, awards, and achievements that make you unique. Incorporate skills specific to your industry or discipline into your bio, such as “inventory management,” “network security,” or “research design.” To come up with keywords, check job descriptions for positions you’ve held or are applying to, as well as entries on your resume or CV. Industry-specific keywords are especially important for online job profiles and resume summaries. Employers and recruiters use search engines and software to scan profiles and resumes for keywords related to a job posting. If you’re writing a...

Think about why you want to experience your first kiss? Is it because you think you have to in order to be “cool”? Or, is it because you feel that you actually want to have this experience? There might be many reasons you want to experience your first kiss, but in general it is a good idea to wait until you feel ready for it. Choose someone that you feel comfortable with, and who wants to kiss you back. Typically, this will be your boyfriend or girlfriend, but in some cases it may also be a close friend who wants to have the experience too. Whoever it is, it will be more enjoyable if it is someone you trust and feel comfortable with. Although the cutest girl or boy in school might be an obvious choice, it doesn’t mean they are the best choice. You should choose someone you find attractive on the inside as much as the outside. Ask trusted friends about their first kiss, and how they prepared themselves. Ask them what advice they can give you. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can also discuss it with your parents. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Almost every one can remember the nervousness and worries they had before their first kiss. . It's likely that you will be worrying about all the things that could go wrong during your first kiss. Ignore these thoughts. Instead, let yourself think only positive thoughts. For example, you can think about how you've taken good care of your lips and mouth, making you very kissable. You can think about how into you the person you will be kissing is, and how romantic it will be. Although you will be nervous, remember that you deserve to be kissed! Believe that the kiss will go well, and although it may not go perfectly, it will all be OK. Remember that even if it doesn't go perfectly, it is only the first of many. Nearly everyone feels nervous when kissing someone for the first time. This is a biological reaction to our excitement, and doesn’t mean anything bad.  Remember that this also goes for the person kissing you back. It can sometimes be a comfort to remember...

Think about your current state of mind and life circumstances and ask yourself if your romantic feelings might be caused by these factors. Sometimes life events can cause people to seek comfort, stability, excitement, or validation from other people in our lives who they don't genuinely want to be with. Avoid pursuing a relationship with your best friend if you might be using them to feel better. For instance, you may seek comfort and distraction in a romance with your best friend after a death in the family. Take things slowly in your new relationship so that you can both figure out your feelings without distractions. Romantic touching and sexual contact can blur the lines of a relationship and confuse boundaries. Try to let your physical relationship evolve naturally out of genuine chemistry and affection. Acting on physical urges too soon may make the situation awkward or increase the intensity of your relationship very quickly. Moving slowly is a good way of avoiding confusing hot-and-cold behaviour. Making a grand romantic move one week, then acting like a casual buddy the next will leave your friend unsure of your feelings. Take things slow and gradually build up to bigger gestures or commitments so you won't be overwhelmed by the situation. For instance, don't show up to your friend's workplace with flowers one day and introduce them to colleagues as your "buddy" a few days later. Taking things to the next level with your best friend can reinforce an already strong bond, making it tempting to spend all of your time with them. Take some time apart to pursue your own interests and to make sure that you get the chance to miss each other. This will make you appreciate each other even more while reducing the risk of becoming annoying to each other. For example, take time to visit with other friends or spend some quiet time alone at home.

Think about your personal style icons: people you consider to be the height of style. Whether it's Kanye West, Ralph Lauren, James Dean, or Walt Whitman, try and wonder what they're trying to accomplish with their style. If it is truly "the perfection of a point of view," think what your icon's point of view might've been, and think about what your point of view might be. Whatever it is, let it guide you when you shop and dress. Consider how you'd like others to think of you, or your style. Is it classic? Do you aim to be an iconoclast? Style isn't dressing "well," or "fashionably," it's dressing for your character. There are no style "don'ts" and only really one style "do:" wear what you want, and own it. If you're a high school student, it won't do to clothe yourself as a full English gentleman. If you're a construction worker, you'll need to leave the Armani for the weekend. Tailor your point of view to the life you lead in order to feel as stylish as you look, and to make your style a part of your everyday life. Playing the style peacock only feels as good as your life will allow; it won't feel great wearing your Bruno Maglis if you've got to stand all day as a cashier, for instance. If your school or work maintain a strict dress code, push it to its limits (accepting the risk, of course). In these situations, don't underestimate the power of style-through-detail: make unique choices wherever possible. If you're sporting Gucci, don't act like a boozy frat boy. If you're channeling Kanye West, don't be afraid to loosen your gait and walk with a swagger. If your clothing echoes a certain point of view, allow your behavior to do the same. This is key to feeling stylish, as it completes the personal connection you've drawn between yourself and your outfit. Let your clothes inspire confidence. Do your best to transfer how you feel strutting in the mirror in the morning to how you feel going about your day, realizing that nothing's changed from being in front of that mirror to being at work, or school.

Think about your personal values and needs when considering your future career.  Carefully examining your own needs and wants when it comes to your career can help you choose one that is a great fit for your personality and skills.  Writing down your wants and needs can help you organize your thoughts and see them clearly. Think about where you would like to work.  For example, do you prefer an office, a restaurant, or the outdoors? Ask yourself if you prefer to work alone or with a team. Examine your preferences when it comes to deadlines.  Do you like a busy and tight schedule or do you prefer to have things more open ended? Try to think of positions that don't have a college education as a requirement.  Some examples are gas plant operators, subway operators, electrical power line repairers and installers, and farmers. Aptitude tests help you evaluate your skills and abilities, scoring you on specific criteria.  Knowing which areas you are already proficient with can help you narrow down your choices when looking for a future career.  Many aptitude tests are available online and are free. Some of the areas tested will be logic, numerical and verbal reasoning, spelling, math and computer skills. If desired, you can prepare before taking the test by taking an inventory of your interests, strengths, and weaknesses. There are many on-line quizzes that you can take that will help you to better understand which careers might be the best for you.  Many of these quizzes are created and offered by both professional services or governmental services and can give you an accurate idea of which careers you might enjoy.

Think about your strengths and feel proud of them. Do things that make you feel good about yourself--take time to finish that painting you started or go on a run. Acknowledging that something bad happened to you, and realizing that you are strong enough to deal with it is a key part of getting over your heartbreak. Make a list of your strengths. Remind yourself of your accomplishments, and the good qualities you have. The act of writing them out can remind you of them, or you can create a list and read it whenever you feel down. You are not alone in the world. Look for a trusted friend or advisor, or a close relative, and tell them how you feel. Sometimes just getting your feelings off your chest can help you work through them. Additionally, you never know what help other people can give, whether it's good advice, or just a shoulder to cry on. Physical exercise causes your body to release serotonin (a chemical that makes us feel happy) and stimulates the growth of nerve cells. On an emotional level, exercising may help you to feel like you are becoming the master of yourself again. Plus, you'll look better too.  You don't need a full workout. Something as simple as 10-15 minutes a day doing a simple exercise like jogging or yoga can be enough to get you a good frame of mind. Even work that doesn't feel like exercise, like weeding a garden or taking a walk outside, gets you some fresh air while you move. The most important thing is that you stay consistent in what you do.  If you're feeling down, it can be hard to motivate yourself to exercise. Work around that by distracting yourself with something enjoyable. Maybe just walk through a mall or some other place you enjoy. You can also give yourself something to do only while exercising, like listening to certain music you enjoy, or watch your favorite TV show while on a machine. That will keep your mind off the workout and onto something you enjoy. As long as you leave that only for exercising, it can give you something fun to come back to.  You can always ask...

Think about your various perspectives and how they shape you and your world. Considering these views will help you start to make proactive changes.  List your perspectives on a piece of paper so that it’s easier to see and think about them. You can also make notes or comments on each part as necessary. Be very honest with yourself about your perspectives so that it’s easier to make changes.  You also need to think about how these perspectives shape you as a person. Do they tend to make you a negative person or make you less likely to take risks? For example, if you believe that a woman can’t be the head of state or a CEO, acknowledge this perspective and then consider how it influences and shapes you in every aspect of your life. You may discover that your perspective is clouding your judgment of all women. Your perspectives form throughout your life based on factors such as family, education, culture, and life experiences. Considering what influences your perspectives may help you to reformulate them.  Your life experiences including illness, travel, jobs, religion, politics, and your television and reading habits inform your perspective. Broadening your horizons with other experiences may help start to change your perspective on them and the wider world around you. The people with whom you surround yourself, including family and friends, influence your perspective of yourself and life. Confining yourself to certain people or types of people may hinder your ability to change your perspectives. Education and learning have a significant impact on your perspectives. Not keeping yourself continually informed can keep your perspectives from developing. Once you’ve had a chance to think about your perspectives and what informs them, envision how your life might be if you changed your perspectives. This may help you to see not only the benefits of changing your perspectives, but also may begin to change them.  Try the simple exercise of doing a handstand or laying in the grass and looking up at the sky. Both...

Think ahead to what you plan to use the okra for. If you're putting it in a stew, chop it horizontally to create chunks. If you plan to serve it as a side dish or stuff it, chop it lengthwise to create strips. Leave the seeds intact. If you want to make fried okra, it's best to bread it before freezing. Follow the steps in the next section. Lay out the pieces in a single layer and make sure none of them are touch. Put the tray in the freezer and freeze the okra for 1 hour, or until the pieces are firm and slightly icy. Don't leave the okra in the freezer uncovered for longer than this, or the chill will affect their texture. Fill each freezer bag to within an inch of the top with the frozen okra pieces. Close the top of the bag, leaving just enough space to stick a straw into the empty headspace. Suck the air out of the bag so that it closes tight around the okra, then remove the straw and seal the bag.  Removing the air will keep the okra from breaking down as quickly. If you have a vacuum sealer, the machine will remove the air for you. Consider labeling your bags with the date they were packed. Frozen okra can be added to stew, soup, and casseroles without thawing it first. In fact, it's best to immediately cook the okra instead of thawing it first. The more the okra is handled, the likelier it is to get mushy.

Think back as to whether your spouse has recently become condescending or whether he or she has been condescending your entire relationship. You can do this by asking yourself some questions: Did you originally marry someone who came into the relationship with a condescending attitude, or did it develop later in the marriage?  Determining if this is a new behavior or an attitude that he already held can help you figure out how best to handle his inappropriate behavior.  Did your spouse completely change after marriage?  Is it possible that you didn’t see your spouse for the person he really is or was he putting on a game face before marriage to seal the deal? Could a new job be influencing your spouse's behavior? From on-the-job stress to feeling heady about being promoted to a lofty position, job influences can have a powerful impact on even the most unflappable personality. While this information can help you figure out more about why your partner is being condescending, when you confront your spouse, be sure to keep the conversation focused and on the present. You can get a sense of whether the condescension is motivated by something you may have done by looking at when the condescending remarks are likely to occur. Do they only occur in certain contexts, such as in parenting discussions? Or, are they more widespread? Nailing down a specific time and circumstance will help you determine if your spouse has a trigger behavior or context. However, keep in mind that sometimes people don't know their own motivations for their behaviors, so don't get stuck on this step if it is not helpful for you personally.   If your spouse is condescending to you in the context of being around his work colleagues, does the behavior occur in front of the boss, equals or subordinates (or everyone at work)?  What kinds of comments are delivered?  Does he talk down to you when you try to weigh in on what’s happening at work? One possibility is that your spouse feels intimidated or even embarrassed by your job and covers up his...

Think back over your relationship and try to identify whether there has been a lack of conscience or guilt on your friend's part. To help clear your thoughts, write down the facts and your feelings for each moment when you felt wronged. There may be trends or correlations. For instance, note the time your friend got you both a failing grade by copying off your exam, then blamed you for not making your test easier for them to see. Don't let sorrow or embarrassment cloud what your collected evidence tells you. It's natural to be in denial, as your friend's apparent sociopathy will be hard to swallow. But the sooner you accept the reality of the situation, the sooner you can address it honestly.  You can rightly feel upset if you have been abused and manipulated. But don't feel ashamed — many sociopaths are expert abusers and manipulators and it has nothing to do with you. You are/were a means to an end for them. Your friend may not be a "friend" in the normal sense. It's not entirely clear whether a true sociopath can ever really be a friend — some experts say they can't truly experience emotions like caring, while others disagree. You'll have to work out the unique circumstances of your friend and your friendship. Someone who is a true sociopath will not allow their reputation to be discredited and they will do whatever is possible to protect their reputation. Therefore, it is best to avoid accusing them of things or trying to justify your reason for ending the relationship. Instead, just end it. Sociopaths may become verbally aggressive when their integrity is questioned, so it is best to avoid confrontation. A sociopath may seek to make you feel sorry for them as a means to regain power and maintain their image. If you feel sorry for questioning them, they consider this a victory rather than caring about the reasons for your doubt.

Think back to the managers you’ve had in your career. Whose style worked and whose didn’t? Which managers did a good job coaching and motivating people? If you are still in contact with any of them, set up an appointment to meet. Ask any questions that you have. Don’t expect someone to give you the silver bullet to being a great manager. Becoming an effective manager requires time, effort, and experience. You’ll be wearing a lot of different hats as a manager. Suddenly, you might be responsible for signing off on timesheets, hiring staff, and giving performance reviews. Ask Human Resources if there are trainings you can take to learn the nuts and bolts. Realize that you’ll learn more from experience than formal training. The best way to learn to manage people is to roll up your sleeves and start working. There is also a mountain of literature on how to manage people. Reading books on the topic can help you understand the experiences of others and how you can craft a management style that works best for you. Go to the bookstore or library and pick up some of the following:  Blanchard and Johnson, The One Minute Manager  Covey, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People  Maxwell, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership  Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People Contact your local college or university to see what is offered. Common management courses cover topics such as organizational behavior, labor-management relations, and small business management. You can ask your supervisor whether the company will cover the costs associated with the courses. If you don’t have a college degree, you can work towards a bachelor’s in business management. If you already have a four-year degree, consider earning a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA). As a manager, you now have a new professional identity. Instead of being an individual contributor with a narrow focus, you must now realize that you are responsible for setting the group’s agenda. You are now a leader, not only a worker. You also aren’t a peer with...

Think back to when you first met your crush. Try to recall if you still feel the same or if your feelings have grown since then. What's commonly called “love at first sight” is often a sudden physical attraction, or infatuation. Love, on the other hand, increases over time from mere attraction to something deeper. Think about what you like and don't like about your crush. Seeing your reasons on paper might help you to better assess your feelings. Noting their drawbacks will toss a little cold water on your passions and let you think a little clearer about what it is that you do like. Make each side as long as you can. Don't worry about how major or trivial each pro or con is. Write down everything that comes to mind. You could include:  Pros: good-looking, kind, someone I can talk to Cons: disorganized, immature at times, can be needy Analyze your pros and cons in terms of whether you're looking at reality or an idealized image of your crush. Circle or highlight which pros intensify your feelings and which cons don't affect how you feel. Evaluate whether those reasons are trivial or significant. If you can't accept the whole person—flaws and all—you're not in love.  For example, you might be in love if you overlook their messiness because you're too busy appreciating their generosity or engaging conversations. On the other hand, you might not be in love if the sight of them makes feel warm and fuzzy, but you can't imagine a future with them. Pay attention to whether you share their happiness or sadness when they tell you good or bad news. For example, if you start to tear up when your crush tearfully tells you their grandmother died, you're feeling their pain. This is a good sign that you're in love. Ask yourself whether you mean it when you say, “I miss you.” Most lasting romantic love has an underlying bond that remains relatively steady over time. This doesn't mean you fret over missing them every second; in fact, that would be an unhealthy kind of attachment. But, missing your partner and wanting to bond...

Think basic shapes, ABCs, and simple trees and flowers. Use either pastels or strong colors, but avoid bright, neon shades that may overwhelm your young child. Skip the pastels and neon shades, and stick with strong, eye-catching hues. Once your kid reaches school age, he or she will likely have his or her own interests and obsessions. Interests often include anything from animals to cityscapes and ballerinas to sports. Build a theme around your child's interests and paint wall art specifically tailored to those interests. Images that use simple shapes and abstract designs will likely appeal to your maturing child more than specific pictures. Use muted colors or bright, funky shades depending on your child's personality.

Если ребенок уже подросток, стоит сменить простой дизайн на что-то более глубокое, сложное и подходящее периоду становления.


Think bold geometric designs for sweaters or Hawaiian print for shirts. Look for a thick sweater with a bulky, boxy cut. Authentic jackets had a black tag over the breast pocket that read "Members Only," but if you cannot find an authentic jacket, simply mimic the style. Look for a cotton-polyester jacket with a nylon lining, elastic waistband, elastic wrists, a zipper front, and snaps at the neck. Choose a coat in any color. Light acid wash jeans work best. Find a style that fits snug around your legs, since men in tight jeans were more fashionable during this decade than those in baggy jeans. In the early 1980s, these pants were tighter, but by the end of the decade, they were exceptionally baggy. Look for a pair of pants made from shiny synthetic material. If possible, find one with multiple zippers, since these were considered more stylish. If you want a more professional look, go for a conservative cut suit jacket in a pastel blue or other light color. Pair the jacket with white pants. This look is also known as the "Miami Vice" look. Loafers work best when paired with pastel suit jackets and other conservative styles. If you decide to go with acid wash jeans or parachute pants, find a heavy pair of sneakers or boots. Consider thick-soled black boots that lace up. Run a volume-enhancing hair product through your hair to give it a little extra lift. Keep your locks in place with hair gel or hairspray.

Think carefully about the size that you want. If you like to include a lot of details, you’ll probably need a larger notebook. But something smaller will be easier to carry, and it will take up less room in your backpack.  You’ll also have a choice of bindings. Spiral-bound notebooks lie flat, but composition books and similar notebooks with a sewn binding won’t damage your other books and papers, as spiral bindings sometimes do.  If you like to keep all of your papers together, consider purchasing a notebook that has a folder attached or a pocket inside the front cover. If you choose to draw a biweekly calendar rather than listing your assignments, you may find that blank, grid-lined, or grid-dotted paper is a good choice. Also include any information that would help someone return your planner if you lose it. This includes your grade level, phone number, and/or student ID number. This way, you’ll have it available for easy reference.

Think heavy-knit cottons, wools, cashmere, and traditional flannel fabric, among others. Stay away from sheer, flimsy materials, especially as the weather gets cooler. Heavy materials will keep you warmer, and they also look more appropriate than light materials. Sweaters scream fall and winter. Lighter sweaters, like cardigans, with standard or low necklines work especially well for fall, when the weather is chilly yet not quite frigid. Wear tank tops and camisoles underneath low-cut blouses and vests over long-sleeve t-shirts. Layers keep you warmer and give your style more versatility. Dress according to the temperature. During early fall, while the weather is still somewhat warm, stick with short sleeves or three-quarter-length sleeves. Move onto long sleeves once the weather gets chillier. Fall fashions include a broad range of sleeve lengths, so wear whatever makes sense on a day-to-day basis. Standard and low necklines may work during early autumn, but once the weather starts turning colder, branch into higher necklines. Think turtlenecks and cowl-necks.

Think of a few activities that you find interesting and enjoyable. Keep a mental list of things to do when you start to obsess. If you have a list of go-to activities in mind, you can quickly redirect yourself when necessary. Examples might include gardening, reading a good novel, listening to music (that doesn’t remind you of the person), playing a video game, playing an instrument, drawing, painting, or exercising. Think of a project you’ve put on the back burner recently. While it doesn’t need to be related to the person, it might be something you’ve put off because of obsessive thoughts or actions. Finish that project, and think about how it represents your ability to move past your obsession.  For example, perhaps you haven’t been practicing the piano or cleaning your room. Maybe you've been falling behind on projects at work or school. Accomplishing a task, especially one you’ve been putting off, is a great way to cultivate a positive, self-empowering state of mind. or try relaxation techniques. Wear loose clothing, play soothing music, and sit in a comfortable position. Inhale deeply as you count to 4, hold your breath for a 4 count, then exhale slowly as you count to 8. As you control your breathing, visualize calming scenery, such as a safe place from your childhood or a favorite vacation spot. You could also look for guided meditation videos on your preferred streaming service. Try meditating or doing breathing exercises when you feel your thoughts racing, dwell on the person you’re obsessed with, or get the urge to call or text them.

Think of a personal hero--real, fictional, dead or alive. What are the qualities you look up to in this person? If you don't have one, you can create one based on the qualities you most admire in people or would love to possess. Chances are that this hero you have in mind will have integrity. Being a credible hero is about being trustworthy, and having strong moral values (sense of right and wrong).  Be honest. Integrity is also about being honest. Communicate your feelings and thoughts respectfully and assertively. This means not being afraid to say how you feel. Use "I statements" such as, "I feel ____, when you ____." For example, you might say, "I feel angry when you hurt other people." Follow through. If you say you are going to do something, do it. Otherwise, don't make false promises if you aren't sure if you can follow through. Heroes are people that we can count on. They are dependable and consistent. Know your moral values. Identify your ethics and what you believe in to increase moral responsibility. Write a list of your moral values. For example, you might believe in freedom, equality, justice, and free speech. Identify what you disagree with and write these down. For example, you might be against: murder, stealing, harming yourself, harming others, cheating, and violence. Courage is another strong value of a hero. Being courageous means having independence, facing your fears, and being willing to take risks.  Have the bravery and courage needed to face your fears instead of avoiding them. Choose personal growth over safety (the desire to feel comfortable). If you feel uncomfortable in a situation such as public speaking, all the more reason to cultivate this skill. Once your face your fear you may realize that it wasn't so bad or scary after all. Remember that having courage is not about doing risky things and putting yourself in unsafe situations. Always put safety first. Heroes do not dwell on the negative because if they did they would not have enough energy to save people and fight the bad...

Think of a time when you were feeling sad and remember the emotions you felt at the time. If you can’t pull from any moments from real life or you’re afraid that your personal experience will make you feel too much, make up a scenario that makes you sad or think of a part in a movie that made you cry.  Some examples you can think of to help you feel sad are the death of a pet or someone close to you, a memory of someone or something you miss, or a really bad breakup. If you’re fake crying for acting, find a situation that relates to what your character is going through. Focus on the emotions you want to feel rather than trying to cry. When you tell yourself you need to cry, you’re focusing on the results rather than what you need to feel at the moment. Focus on your body, breathing, and expressions instead. Keeping your eyes open will dry them out, causing your body to produce tears. Pretend you’re holding a staring contest with someone and keep your eyes open for as long as you can. If you haven’t made tears and you feel the urge to blink, hold your eyes open with your fingers.  Fan your eyes with your hands to make them dry out faster and produce more tears. Sometimes if you keep them half-closed, tears will start to form in the corners of your eyes. Don’t let anything harmful get in your eyes as you keep them open. Practice doing this indoors where there is less likely of a chance for something to blow into them. Many times when you cry for real, you’ll start double breathing or hyperventilating because of stress. To simulate crying, recreate the effect of hyperventilation by taking rapid, shallow breaths. Not only will add to your believability, but it will help your body make tears.  To calm down, start taking deeper breaths. Hyperventilating too much will prevent healthy amounts of oxygen from getting into your blood. Only do this in short bursts to start your tears. Think about what your face does when you cry. Replicate the emotion by trembling your lip while frowning and scrunching your eyebrows....

Think of different ways to solve your problem. Knowing that there is more than one way to approach the problem can help you realize that you have choices. Once you’ve thought of some alternatives, decide which ones are plausible and which ones you can forget about.  If you’re making a complex decision, write down your alternatives. This way, you won’t forget any options and will be able to cross off any that aren’t plausible. For example, you might be hungry and need something to eat. Think about whether you want to cook food, get fast food, order takeout, or sit down at a restaurant. If you’re solving a straightforward problem, then analytical or logical skills will aid you best. Other times, you may need to rely on your emotions to guide you. Often, problems require a combination of thinking skills, your feelings, and maybe even your gut to come to a solution. Don't be afraid to utilize these ways of approaching problems, but play around with them and see what works best for you. Problems like accepting the job across the country that offers good pay but takes you away from your family may require different ways of approach. Consider the logical solution, but also consider your thoughts, feelings, and the way the decision affects others. If your problem is not immediate, ask advice from other people. Maybe you know someone who has faced a similar problem in the past who can weigh in and give you some feedback. Whether you follow their advice or not is up to you, however, it can be helpful to gain some different perspective. For example, if you’re buying a home and not sure how to make your final decision, talk to other homeowners about their thoughts or regrets about buying a home. If you’re working toward a goal, notice how things are coming along. If you’re making progress and going in a positive direction, keep going. If you’re realizing your approach isn’t the best, then think about solving the problem in a different way. You may need to come up with some new strategies to better solve your problem. ...

Think of doing a crunching motion, bringing your ribs down toward your hips. Note that although the Ab Lounge 2 directions instruct you to do an abdominal crunch, the resulting jackknife motion--as your hips drop and your legs and upper body come up--happens at your hip joint, not the lumbar spine. Your rectus abdominis muscle doesn't perform hip flexion; your hip flexors do. Although your rectus abdominis muscle doesn't perform the primary motion during this exercise, it does work to stabilize your lumbar spine against the pull from your hip flexors.

Think of how touched your friend will be to get a note passed in class that simply says, "Hey, I haven't told you in a while but I  do appreciate our friendship." Make sure it's one that you wouldn't mind too much if they revealed since sharing secrets builds trust. If the person tells the secret, you will not have lost much because you did not mind this secret getting out. You will have learned that they cannot be trusted as your best friend. If the person keeps the secret, you can tell another, slightly larger secret. Soon your friend may build a track record of trust by keeping all of your secrets, and you will know that this is a person that you can share your deepest thoughts with. Best friendships require honesty, even more than regular ones do. Secrets which you hold back about your friend may come out at a bad time and can have a serious negative effect on your friend. In a good friendship, your friend will be as honest with you as you are with them, so don't make bold assumptions about the way they might think about you. Most of the time, if you're thinking it's something bad, then you're wrong! If this person is a true friend he or she will love you and be honest with you.

Think of it this way: if there's no space between your butt-cheeks, then how can the fart get out? Though this can be a bit painful and can't be sustained for that long, if you clench your cheeks, you will prevent your fart from escaping. To do this, you really have to tighten your anus and have it stay that way; if you let go, you are more likely to release the fart. If you're lucky, doing this for long enough can help the fart get "sucked up" back in your body — just know that this isn't a permanent solution, and that the fart may return with more force than before. Sometimes you may just need to wiggle around a bit to move that fart to a different part of your body. Just don't make any sudden movements or the fart may be more likely to come out. If you're sitting, try standing up. If you're standing, sit down. If you're sitting but can't get up, try shifting from one butt cheek to the other. This is another time-tested strategy. If you're sitting down and need to fart, place both hands on the arm rests, put your weight on your toes, and gently lean forward a bit, lifting your bum off the seat. This can sometimes help the urge to fart go away, as pointing your toes and leaning up can also help you clench your anus a bit. If you're sitting up or standing and need to fart, sometimes lying down can help you change positions and get rid of the urge to fart. If you're hanging out with friends, this can be hard to pull off, but if you're all sitting around watching TV, see if you can sprawl out on the couch or do something that helps you hold in your fart while looking pretty natural. If you're standing and have the urge to fart, improve your posture, try to move your head as high up as you can, and help your body become more erect. This can help the fart have more room to move around your body without releasing. If you're sitting and feel the urge to pass gas, one thing you can do is to delicately shift from cheek to cheek. Sometimes, this motion is all you need to make that farting feeling go away temporarily....

Think of past life events that make you feel powerless. Try to find a way in which they improved an aspect of your life.  Accepting that life is full of mistakes and changes is part of being empowered. Uncertainty about the future is normal, and the ability to recover from mistakes and failures is essential for mental resilience and empowerment.     A silver lining might be meeting an important person in your life, spending time doing something that you loved, learning about yourself, trying a new job or moving to a new place that you enjoy.    ” It is the definition of powerlessness, because it states that you don’t have the ability to change or do something. Replace it with “won’t” or “don’t want to” which show that you have a choice in how you interact with the world. It can be a goal, a feeling you want to achieve or a sentence that makes you happy. Repeat it whenever you start thinking or speaking negatively.  For example, read and repeat quotes about empowerment. Stephen King said, “You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.” Mother Theresa said, “Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.” Find more quotes online.

Всегда старайтесь отыскать свой луч надежды. Прекратите использовать слово «не могу». Начните практиковать мантру, которая помогает настроиться на позитив.

Think of people you know who are self-confident. These people can be models for you to emulate on acting confident. You might choose a parent, teacher, or even a celebrity. Observe this person’s actions, speech and body language. Imitate these behaviors until they become your own. Being friendly to others and smiling makes you appear confident. It makes people believe that you’re a nice and happy person who enjoys being around other people. In turn, they will want to be around you.  Participating in a variety of different activities will give you the opportunity to be friendly and display your confidence. Introduce yourself by name to other people. This will give them the impression that you respect yourself and you are worth listening to when you speak. Confident people don’t over-talk, chatter, or say too much. They speak appropriately and listen to other people, engaging in conversation in socially appropriate ways.  For example, don’t constantly talk about yourself. When you constantly talk about your achievements, people start to think that you’re looking for approval and acceptance. A confident person doesn’t try to seek much external approval. Instead try asking other people about their achievements and lives! Accept compliments graciously. When people give you positive feedback, thank them and accept the compliment. Confident people know that they are worthy of compliments and respect. Don’t self-deprecate by saying you’re not good at something, or acting as though your success was just lucky. Confident people usually don’t appear anxious or nervous. Making small adjustments to your body language can convey confidence, despite what you might be feeling inside.  Stand up with your back and shoulders straight. Make eye contact when you’re talking with someone. Don’t fidget. Relax tension in your muscles. When you meet someone new, make eye contact and give a firm handshake. This will convey that you are confident and interested. Use a clear, confident voice when you speak. When your voice is timid or...

Think of something that always makes you laugh, or recall your happiest memory. One recent study even showed that thinking about butterflies, flowers, fish, and smiley faces relaxed people while getting shots. Seeing it might make you feel worse, especially in the moments leading up to and during the injection itself. Don't look at the supply tray or table, either! Just close your eyes and breathe. your arm completely before getting the shot. Practice dropping your shoulder and lightly pressing your elbow against your waist. Doing so relaxes the Deltoid muscle, where you usually get shots. Not only will the shot itself hurt less, but your arm will feel better more quickly than if you tense up during the injection.  Jumping in the middle of a shot can cause nerve pain, which leads to worse pain at the site of the injection.  In fact, if you tense your body for an injection, you may experience pain in other areas as a result. Take a deep breath right before the shot, and exhale slowly during it. Slow, deep breathing temporarily helps with pain relief because it relaxes muscle tension. Also blowing in and out while the shot is given.  Deep breathing also lowers blood pressure, balances Ph in our bodies, and helps in avoiding harmful stress hormones. By working the muscles at the injection site immediately, you increase blood flow to the area. This, in turn, speeds up the healing process. In the hours and days after your shot, keep moving your arm about to speed up the recovery process. A recent study showed that pain killers such as Ibuprofen, Advil or naproxen taken just after the HPV vaccine reduced the shot's effectiveness. Researchers believe other vaccinations may respond the same way. The painkiller causes the body to build up antibodies that work against the vaccine. To avoid this, just deal with whatever pain you're feeling. You can add an ice pack or cool compress for about 15 minutes to the injection site to relieve pain. You can get through it!

Think of the list of stressors you draw up as a list of opponents to “pick off,” one by one.  You can't conquer them all, but you can get rid of plenty of them with methodical, thoughtful planning.  Start at the bottom of your list, with less severe stressors that are easier to address.  For instance, if being late to school or work all the time stresses you out, develop a strategy for getting ready faster. As you work your way up the list, the task will become more difficult.  Some stressors simply cannot be overcome.  For instance, you may not be able to avoid worrying about your math grade.  You can, however, improve the situation by seeking tutoring, perhaps. .  Quiet, calming, thoughtful activities can help reduce your stress experience.  Turn to them when you are feeling stressed out, but also use them as preventative measures, to get you in a less stressful frame of mind before a big test, for instance. When it comes to calming the mind, everyone is different.  Some common options include:  reading; laughing; positive-thinking exercises; deep-breathing exercises; meditation; prayer; or whatever works to calm you and help your stress melt away. .  Calming the mind and calming the body often go hand-in-hand.  In combination, they can help you deal with many common causes of stress, from a bad breakup to your basketball team's losing streak.  Try, for instance:  Taking a bath. Listening to relaxing music. Painting. Giving yoga a try. Taking up a new hobby, or returning to a favorite one. Getting outside.  Take a walk.  Breathe in the fresh air.  Clear your mind and relax your body.

Think of the loop as a "rabbit's hole" and the string end coming off the loop as a "tree". Imagine the other loose end of the string, which you're holding in your right hand, is the "rabbit". The rabbit comes up the hole, runs around the tree, and goes back down the hole. Another way to remember how to make this knot is with a rhyme:"Lay the bight to make a holeThen under the back and around the poleOver the top and through the eyeClinch it tight and let it lie"

Think of the steps both you and your spouse would need to take in order to save your marriage. Try drawing a line down the middle of a sheet of paper, write what you’d need to do on 1 side, and what your spouse would need to do on the other.  For example, in your spouse’s column, you might write “Attend to my feelings more, be more intimate, express more love and affection.” In your column, you might write, “Use kinder language, stop making personal attacks, stop using work as a distraction from my marriage.” Ask yourself if your expectations are realistic. Do you believe you and your spouse can make these changes? Are you both willing to find a compromise? Keep in mind both partners need to make changes to save a marriage. For instance, even if your spouse was unfaithful, you both need to address the underlying reasons for their infidelity. Think about how the idea of a future without your spouse makes you feel. Do you frequently catch yourself thinking about being single, living alone, dating new people, and moving far away? If these fantasies bring you happiness or relief, your marriage might be on shaky ground.  Bear in mind everyone daydreams and fantasizes. You shouldn't rush to end your marriage because you’ve wondered what it’d be like to live a different life. Ask yourself if the thought of separating brings you feel more bliss than the idea of staying together. Do you find yourself fantasizing more frequently and with greater detail? If so, and if there are other warning signs, it’s probably time to part ways or take action to save the marriage. Do you want to stay with your spouse because you love them and want to pursue mutual goals? Or are you afraid of the financial and personal struggles you might face after separating? Try to be honest with yourself, and figure out exactly why you haven’t left yet.  If you want to stay together because you love your spouse and want to pursue mutual goals, you’ll have a stronger chance of resolving your conflict. Separation and divorce are frightening, but a...

Составьте список действий, которые могут сохранить ваш брак. Мечтаете ли вы о жизни вне брака? Желание оставаться вместе продиктовано чувством страха? Вы не разводитесь только ради детей? Поговорите с близким другом или родственником, чтобы взглянуть на ситуацию под новым углом.


Think of the stores you shop with the most and the stores you consider most reliable or inexpensive. The list of stores you come up with will likely vary depending on the type of product you are looking for. You may, for instance, check with various department stores when shopping for clothing, a mix of department and home goods stores when looking for small kitchen appliances, or a mix of department and home improvement stores if looking for large appliances or tools. If you do not know the store website address already, go to a search engine and type the store’s name in. The store’s website is usually the first hit to pop up. If you have difficulty, though, you could also try searching the store’s name with “official website” typed after it. You can either locate the product by doing a search, using the store’s search bar, or by browsing through the departments until you find what you are looking for. If you are looking for a specific product, doing a keyword search is the most efficient and practical means. If looking for a generic product, browsing through the departments might prove more useful. While a product may be cheaper at one store than it is at another, the difference in shipping costs can sometimes make the more expensive item cheaper to buy. Stores that offer free “in store pickup” are, understandably, the cheapest. As soon as you find the product you want on each store’s website, jot down the name of the product as well as the price. If the product is currently on sale, make a note of that fact along with when the sale ends, since the price will likely go up after the sale finishes. Saving the product page from each store to your favorites list will make it easier to go back to the product you decide to buy later. After you visit all the websites on your list, compare which ones had the best prices. Since all of these stores are, theoretically, ones you feel comfortable shopping at, the only things you really need to take into account are the cost of the product and the cost of shipping....

Think of women you consider to be ‘perfect.’ Make a list of the qualities you admire about them. Consider the things they’ve done in life, their approach to life, their philosophy of living, their achievements, their personality, their physical appearance, and their sense of style. What is it that all of them have in common? Think of women you know in real life, celebrities or historical figures. Think about the state of your life now: the things you do, education you're pursuing, jobs you’re in, your relationships with others, your physical health. Consider your personal qualities, too. Make a list of the things you’re most proud of. Try to think about examples that prove that you are this way.  For example, ‘I am a good daughter: I call my parents daily/once a week and speak to them patiently even when I’m pressed for time.’ 'I am diligent: I consistently perform to the best of my ability, I don’t procrastinate and I thoroughly check the standard of my work.' 'I have amazing hair: it’s soft, shiny and long.' Your list of strengths and proofs will be subjective -- they are unique to you. Of your strengths, which do you consider to be perfect? Think of your perfections and those of your role models, and write a few sentences or a list of what you consider will make you a perfect woman. What does that look like? What goals will you achieve that will mean you’re perfect? What behaviors, attitudes and values will you adopt?  Avoid the words ‘always,’ ‘never,’ ‘should,’ and ‘must’ (e.g. ‘I must always speak in a polite tone of voice.’) Such words create unrealistic expectations and disappointment, guilt and frustration when they’re not met. Your definition of the perfect woman applies to you: the point of the exercise is not to be exactly like another woman. Rather it is to help you define your ideal version of you. Make a list of aspects of your current self that you think keep you from being perfect. Every human, even a ‘perfect’ one has some point that can be viewed as negative. Remember that it’s a blend of...

Think of your pet as a toddler, and you'll have a good idea of how long you can keep its attention span. By taking breaks and only shooting a couple of photos at a time, you'll have a happier, more engaged pet for your photos. Set an alarm for a couple of minutes if you keep forgetting to take breaks. Most animals love treats, so now is the time to break out your pet's favorite one. Split the treats up into small bites, as you may need to bribe your animal quite a few times. Try asking someone to hold a treat in their hand near the camera. Make sure the pet knows they have it, and then have the person hide it away. This trick usually evokes good expressions from the animal, especially dogs. A playful pet will make for good photos, and using a toy will help keep your pet nearby. Grab the toy, and play with your pet like you normally would.  If you have another person nearby, it might be easier if they use the toy to play with the pet while you snap pictures. Tug-of-war toys work great for dogs, and string-type toys work well for cats, as you can entice them to come over. Any toy that keeps your pet mostly in the same place should be fine. Balls don't work as well, unless someone is throwing a ball in your direction. Otherwise, the animal will be running away from you. For a dog, be very, very cheerful. Dogs love upbeat voices, especially when you're telling the dog what a good boy or girl they are! Other pets may do better with calm, almost cooing voices.  You know what your pet likes to hear! Use the pet names you have for it, using your happy voice. For instance, try a cheerful but calm voice when working with cats. For birds, be very cheerful, but not so loud you scare them. Whistles may help, too! If it's not your pet, get the owner to talk to the pet instead, as they may have better luck than you. Of course, you don't want to scare your pet, but something new and exciting can make them want to see what's going on. For instance, you could have a person pop out from behind you or use a squeaky toy to make a...

Think you've found the perfect formula to make your girlfriend feel special? Then think again. If you want to keep making her feel special, then you have to keep mixing things up and make your relationship feel fresh. Even if you've found the perfect date night scenario, you have to keep trying new combinations so your girlfriend doesn't feel like you're getting bored and complacent. Here are some great ways to keep things spontaneous:  Plan a surprise trip or date when she doesn't expect it. Write her a sweet love note on a random Tuesday. Serenade her in public. Send her a text message that makes her laugh in the middle of a stressful day. Don't be afraid to act like a little kid sometimes. If you feel like running around a park or jumping into the ocean, go for it! (As long as you're staying safe.)

You don't have to have the budget of a sultan to explore something new together. You can start by checking out a new restaurant, and then work your way up to going to a museum you've both had your sights on, and then take weekend trips to other cities or even plan an exciting vacation to get out of your usual routines. Make an effort to travel together as much as you can and you'll see that your girlfriend feels special because you continue making an effort.

Thinking about the meaning of your life is one of the first major steps toward making big changes.  What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? What are you passionate about? What makes you feel like you matter? Answering these questions is key to figuring out what will make you happy and give you a fulfilling life. Say, you love yoga and have been going to yoga classes 3 times a week for 5 years. Maybe it's not your hobby, but your passion! Maybe you'd like to shift from being the student to the teacher. Think about what truly satisfies your life and makes you feel like you are making a difference and make that the core of your new life.  Life is only worth living if you are really living. If you've always wanted to teach yoga, why not go for it? You get one one life, so make sure you are doing the right things with it. Don't wait around for a reason to start living your life the way you want. Once you have determined your general purpose and big life goals, decide specifically how you will reach these goals and then make the needed changes. Are you going to break up with your current partner? Are you going to move to a new city? Are you going back to school?  Set short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals for yourself. Write them down and put them somewhere where you can see them daily (e.g., a refrigerator door or stuck to your bedroom mirror). Organize your life. You can't change your life if you're living a crazy unorganized way. Once you know exactly what change you want to effect and what goals you want to reach, you can begin to plan to make the necessary changes. Do something different and surprise yourself; you'll probably learn something you didn't know about who you are and what you can do.  One of the best ways to jolt yourself out of a life you're not satisfied with is to do something completely different. Go on a trip to some place you've never been. Start learning a language. Take up a new sport or exercise, whether it be gymnastics, kick boxing or cycling. Even if you think you might be...

Thinly dice 1 white onion and then cook it in 2 tbsp. of butter, stirring lightly until it's transparent. This should take about 3-4 minutes, depending on the size of the onion. Add 1 tsp. of garlic powder, 1 tsp. of onion powder, 2 tbsp. of flour, and 2 tsp. of cornstarch to the onion mixture. Continue to stir the ingredients together until they have absorbed all of the butter. This should take another minute or so. Stir the ingredients together and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes. Add a little more butter or broth if the mixture becomes too solid. If you'd like it to be extra smooth, you can put the ingredients in an immersion blender and purée them, but this is not necessary. Peel and cut 6 white Idaho potatoes into long, thin strings that are each about 1⁄3 inch (0.8 cm) thick. Rinse the potatoes a bit after you cut them to cut down on the starchiness. To soften up the potatoes, you can boil a pot of water and blanch them for 4 minutes first, but this is not necessary. If you can handle it, of course, you can prepare the gravy at the same time as you prepare the potatoes. You just have to be very vigilant. Pour the vegetable oil onto a saucepan and heat it up under medium high heat. Then, add the cut potatoes and cook them until they are golden brown. Place the cooked potatoes on a paper towel to drain some of the oil and then add the gravy and one bag of cheese curds. Enjoy this dish on its own while it's hot.

Thinly slice some black olives or mushrooms and stir them in. You can also try some green onion or diced celery. After making enchiladas with your sauce, scatter some fresh, diced onion and cilantro over the top of your dish before serving. Give your enchilada sauce a kick of sweetness by adding half a cup of cooked sweet potato in place of a tomato. Sweet potato will add creaminess to your sauce too! If you like your food extra spicy, try chili powder to taste. Start with 1 tbsp and go from there. You can also add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce. Be careful when making spicy sauce. If the sauce is too spicy, it can make the dish hard to enjoy.

Thinning shears are often used by stylists in salons, and look like scissors with a thick, serrated edge. They are designed to cut about 15% of the hair, resulting in hair that still holds its shape and style but has less volume and density. You can buy the shears from beauty supply stores or the hair care section of most department stores. Before thinning your hair, shampoo and dry it as normal. If you tend to let your hair air dry, do that; if you use a blow dryer, go ahead and style it that way. Your hair should be as close to its normal, everyday texture as possible. This prevents you from over-thinning your hair. Don't add any styling products to your hair before thinning it. These can clog the shears and change how full your hair looks, which will affect your ability to thin it properly. It's best to thin a section at a time, and thin the same amount all around your head. Hold the first section away from your head and clip the rest back, focusing on just the ends of the section that you have. If your hair is shorter, you might have fewer sections because it’s difficult to thin hair that is close to the scalp. Place the scissors with the serrated edge facing down about 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) from the end of your hair, and position the shears at a 45-degree angle. Then, close the shears over your hair and open them. Move them down 1 inch (2.5 cm), closing them over the hair again. Repeat until you reach the bottom of your hair.  If you face the serrated edge down, then the hair will be thinner underneath, but it'll be hidden by longer pieces of hair. Be careful about starting too close to the roots. The thinning shears are actually cutting pieces of your hair, so if you start too high you'll end up with short pieces toward the top of your head. It's best to start thinning at the bottom of your hair to control the shape. Run a comb through a few times to remove all the cut pieces of hair. Then, take a look at the newly thinned section. Compare the section to the rest of your hair to see if you’ve thinned...
