Having a safe pregnancy is important to a healthy birth and baby. Making sure you’re getting proper obstetrical care from a doctor, nurse practitioner or midwife can help ensure not only that your pregnancy is progressing normally but also that it’s safe for you to check your cervix for dilation.  Be aware that beginning in your ninth month of pregnancy, your doctor will begin looking for signs that your labor is getting closer. This includes palpitating your abdomen and performing an internal exam to check your cervix. He or she will see if the baby has “dropped,” which means that the cervix has begun to dilate and get softer. Ask your doctor any questions you may have, including if the baby has dropped. You should also ask if it is safe to check dilation on your own. If your pregnancy is safe, then you can proceed. Having dirty hands can spread bacteria and germs that cause infection. Checking your cervix requires inserting a hand or fingers into your vagina. It’s imperative to your health and that of your unborn baby to wash your hands before you check your cervix for dilation.  Use any soap and some warm water to clean your hands. Wet your hands with running water and apply your soap, lathering well. Rub your hands vigorously for at least 20 seconds, making sure to scrub each surface of your hands. Rinse off the soap and then dry your hands thoroughly. Use a hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol if you don’t have soap. Apply enough of the sanitizer for both hands to the palm of one hand. Just as with soap, rub your hands together and make sure you cover every surface including nails. Keep rubbing until your hands are dry. If you’re a bit worried or scared about doing the exam on your own, ask your partner or another loved one for help. Allow the person to help as much as you are comfortable with and like. Support can come in the form of holding a mirror or your hand or even offering calming words. Before you can effectively check your cervix for dilation, you need to be in a comfortable position. You...

Having a sentence or two in your head will help you lead the event in the right direction. Are you planning it to educate your community? Persuade potential donors for funds? To celebrate a specific individual or group of individuals? Get as narrow as possible. Whatever you're doing (be it educating, persuading, celebrating, etc.), why are you doing it? Think of it as your mission statement. Your framework for success. When you know exactly what you want to do, it's a lot easier to do it! What exactly do you want to accomplish? Not how many people do you want to show up, not the actual fact that the event is even happening -- what do you want to come out of this? 5 people to walk away a new part of your organization? $1,000 raised? Minds changed? People excited?  Think of the top three things you wish would happen as a result of this event and concentrate on them becoming a reality. Maybe one goal is financial, one is social, and one is personal. It's up to you! Good team members with different skills are a necessity.  They can help with everything from preparing schedules and budgets, to making invites and posters, to welcoming in guests and doing the dirty work of cleaning up afterward. In other words, they can help you get things done. And if you can, get volunteers who you trust!  Make sure to keep team members and supervisors "up to speed" with your plans.  Collaboration can make your job easier. When you ask them to help, be as complete as possible from the get-go about the expectations for them and their level of involvement. If you aren't in a situation where finding volunteers is feasible, hire a crew! It all depends on the type of event you're organising. The venue may be able to provide you with one or you can go through a third-party staffing agency. All possible expenses, incomes, sponsors, and contingent expenses should be included. If you don't budget, you'll end up with a wad of receipts, an empty pocketbook, and no idea what the heck just happened. Be realistic from day one so no surprises...

Having a serious conversation with your boyfriend will be hard, especially if you’re upset. To help you get through what you need to say, decide what you want to tell him in advance. Then, practice saying that out loud. This will help you during the actual talk. Try talking to a mirror or explaining it to a supportive friend. Call or text him to tell him you’re ready to talk about what happened. Invite him to meet you in a neutral location or somewhere you feel comfortable. Schedule a time when you’ll have plenty of time to discuss the situation and won’t feel rushed.  For example, you might ask him to meet you at your house or at a local coffee shop. You might text him, “I need to talk to you about what happened with Stacey. Can we meet up at the Good Beans Cafe at 1 p.m.?” You might suspect he’s cheating if he’s been pulling away from you or you’ve been hearing rumors. If this is the case, it’s best to ask him directly instead of making assumptions. Explain your suspicions and why you feel that way. Then, ask him if he’s actually cheating on you. You might say, “I’ve noticed that you haven’t kissed me in 2 weeks, and now I’m hearing rumors about you going on a date with Alex. Is it true that you cheated?” He probably wasn’t trying to hurt you when he cheated, but he needs to know the pain his actions caused. Explain how you feel about what happened and why it hurt you so much. Say as much as you need to say to feel better. You might say, “I feel so hurt and betrayed right now. I trusted you with my heart, and you broke it into a million pieces.” to his side of the story but don’t accept blame. You probably know that there are 2 sides to every story, and seeing things from your boyfriend’s perspective could help. Give him a chance to explain himself and try to understand his side. However, don’t let him try to blame you or excuse his behavior.  This gives your boyfriend a chance to tell you if he wants to save your relationship and why you should take him back. Additionally, it might help you understand that...

Having a smaller closet means more room for seasonal and trending items.  Throw away old styles. Make space for new items by throwing away the clothes you don't wear. Be honest. If you haven't worn something in a year, you could probably get rid of it.  Throw away items that do not fit you anymore. We all have sentimental pieces of clothing. However, clothing clutter will only keep you from expanding your style. Keep a small collection of your favorite basic items, such as well-fitting jeans and t-shirts. These items are timeless. You can pair them with trendier items you buy. Small items, like jackets and shoes are a good way to spruce up your basics. Make sure you are keeping track of everything you own. This will force you to be honest about what you are actually wearing. It will also help as you continue to refresh your wardrobe.

Having a solid daily routine may help your dog to stop eliminating inside the house. Make sure that you feed your dog at the same times every day and take your dog outside at the same times every day. Your dog should be allowed to go outside to eliminate at least four times per day. If your dog’s feeding and outside times have become erratic, decide on a schedule that will work for you and stick to it. A sample schedule for feeding and taking your dog out might be something like:  6:00am: let Fido outside 7:00am: feed Fido breakfast 7:30am: let Fido outside 12:00pm: let Fido outside 5:00pm: take Fido for a walk 7:00pm: feed Fido dinner 7:30pm: let Fido outside In addition to keeping a steady routine for taking your dog outside, taking him to the same spot every time may also help you to housebreak your dog. Use an encouraging phrase such as “go potty” to let your dog know what you want him to do when you get to that spot. The repetition of going to the same place and hearing the same words will help your dog understand what you want from him. Remember to offer your dog lots of praise after he goes to the bathroom outside. Watching your dog for signs that he might be about to urinate or defecate in the house can help you to housebreak him. If your dog is prone to eliminating inside the house, find a way to keep him in your sight at all times. Monitoring your dog’s whereabouts will help you to prevent him from eliminating inside the house.  Try keeping your dog on a six foot long leash that is attached to you.  This will prevent him from going off to another room to eliminate and it will also help you to observe his behavior and determine when he needs to go.  If you cannot keep an eye on your dog during the day, you can use a crate or baby gate to confine your dog to a small area for short periods of time (less than 4 hours). As soon as you notice that your dog is getting ready to urinate or defecate, get his attention by clapping your hands together loudly. Do not yell at your dog or use physical punishment...

Having a solid light source is an essential part of taking any kind of photograph, and selfies are no different. If you try to take a selfie in a dimly-lit room or one with harsh fluorescent lighting, it won't turn out the way you want it to. Natural light is the most flattering kind, so try to take your selfie near a window or outdoors. Keep these factors in mind when you shoot:  Keep the sun or other light source in front of you, a bit above eye level, for the most flattering shot. The light will brighten and soften your features, rather than casting harsh shadows across your face. If it's off to the side or behind you, your features could appear shadowy or distorted. Consider using a thin curtain to diffuse sunlight or a single light source. It makes the light  softer and more flattering. It will give the impression of smoother, softer facial lines so that your smile appears more attractive. Natural light renders colors more faithfully than artificial light, but you can use artificial light to fill shadows. If you don't have the best lighting, most modern digital cameras have some automatic color correction to make up for it. Don't use your flash if you can help it. It'll create a forehead glare, distort your appearance and possibly give your selfie the redeye effect. Many cell phones have two cameras: one in the back, and one in the front. Instead of using the camera in the front to take selfies, use the one in the back. The back camera takes higher-resolution pictures than the front camera, which will end up taking a blurrier selfie. You'll have to turn the phone around, and you won't be able  to see your face as you take the picture, but it's worth the trouble to use the back camera. The picture will appear in reverse, your camera will be visible, and you're likely to end up with a strange glare. Plus, your selfie could appear distorted, since mirror glass doesn't always reflect back a perfectly accurate image. Stretch out your arm, use your wrist to point the camera toward your face, and snap away. It...

Having a strong support system is one of the primary factors for successful treatment of schizophrenia. A good support team may consist of mental health professionals, family members, and personal friends and peers who share the diagnosis.  Talk to trusted friends and family members about your symptoms. They may help you navigate mental health care systems to get the treatment you need. Many times, maintaining stable, consistent housing is difficult for people with schizophrenia. If staying with your family is an option during stressful times, consider allowing your family to care for you until your symptoms improve. Housing options, such as group homes or supported living apartments, support people with schizophrenia. The availability of such homes varies widely from state to state. Check with your local National Alliance for Mental Health (NAMI) chapter or other mental health professionals to learn more about these services. Having good, honest communication with a mental health professional will allow you to receive the best level of treatment they can provide. Being honest with your doctor about your symptoms will ensure that you're getting the right dosage of medication, neither too much nor too little.  You can always seek out a second opinion, if you feel that your doctor isn't responsive to your needs. Never discontinue medical treatment without having a back-up plan. Check in with your doctor regarding any questions you may have regarding treatment issues, medication side-effects, persistent symptoms, or other concerns. Your participation is essential towards most effective treatment of your symptoms. Treatment works best when you're working together with your treatment team. The stigma from schizophrenia can be more uncomfortable than the symptoms. In a peer support group, your experience is shared by other members. Attending a group for support has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to minimize the difficulties of living with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.  Peer support...

Having a text conversation about your crush’s day or interests is a good way to show you want to know them better. Just don’t let the conversation drift into more mundane, generic topics, and don’t keep your crush waiting too long before you ask them out. The quicker you pop the question, the more likely you’ll have their full interest and get a good response. If you’re asking your crush to go on a specific date, focus the conversation on that. For example, if you want to take them to a movie, talk with them about a new release. When asking your crush on a date, include a kind comment explaining why you want to go out with them. This will make them feel good and open them up to the idea of a date. Some text ideas include:  “I really like talking with you. Would you like to grab coffee together sometime?” “I’ve been thinking recently, would you like to go see a movie with me?” “You seem really wonderful. Would you be interested in grabbing dinner?” Make sure your crush understands that you want to take them on a date, otherwise they may think you are just inviting them to go out with a group of friends. Use clear phrases like “Want to go out?” instead of vague one like “Want to hang?” If your crush says yes, follow up immediately to make the necessary plans. Look for a day and time that works for both of you, then figure out a place to meet. Have concrete plans in place before you end the text conversation. This will show your crush that you’re interested and prevent confusion down the road. Give them some space and, in a few weeks, talk with them again as just a friend. If your conversation goes well, the dating doors may still be open. In the meantime, make sure to take care of yourself by hanging out with friends, getting out of the house, and staying active.

Having a timeless sense of style is as simple as buying some new clothes and getting a good haircut. Becoming a timeless person, however, is another thing entirely — you'll need to attempt the difficult tasks of unfocusing your attention from the here and now and getting a broader perspective on life. To start, try to place less of an importance on the passage of time in the first place. Don't worry about growing old — trying to stay young forever or recapture past glory days will only date you. There are few things more awkward than someone who's aged out of a certain social group trying desperately to stay "cool" in the eyes of the younger members. If you're worried about growing up or aging, it can help to look at the benefits of these things, rather than just the scary and sad parts. For instance, while adults may sometimes fall out of touch with old friends, they also have lots of opportunities to make new ones while devoting their energy to a fulfilling career. Older people also usually have the advantage of maturity and experience over younger people, which can make things that used to seem like a big deal (for instance, peer pressure) seem like no big deal at all. A timeless person has a self-identity that doesn't change depending on what's currently popular. Don't make any conscious choices to redefine yourself based on what other people think. Instead, any change in the way you see yourself should come about naturally and effortlessly over time. Don't look down on yourself if you don't conform exactly to what's popular today. Popularity is fleeting and can change at a moment's notice — the sense of peace you get from being true to yourself, on the other hand, lasts forever. Beware: living your life to be trendy at all costs without considering your true feelings can cause significant problems in the long run: for instance, you may waste time and money trying to get a hold of the latest clothes and consumer goods, you may lose sight of who you truly "are" as a person and suffer identity confusion,...

Having a tooth removed can be a painful procedure. Try an NSAID like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium for pain. Acetaminophen is also okay. Skip aspirin, as it could make the bleeding worse. Taking vitamin C may also help the healing process. Don't rinse your mouth for the first 24 hours. You can eat and drink lukewarm food, though not in the area where you removed the tooth. Make sure you're eating on the other side. You need to leave the hole alone as much as possible. Alcohol may seem logical since it can help you avoid the pain. However, it can keep the wound from healing properly. In addition, it can make it bleed more, which you definitely don't want. You will need to brush your teeth, but you should wait a day. When you do brush your teeth, be especially gentle around the extraction site. You don't want to pull up the clot accidentally. It can also help to rinse with saltwater after the first 24 hours, which can remove some bacteria. Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water. Swish it around in your mouth for 20 to 30 seconds, particularly near the clot, and then spit it out.

Having a variety of light sources creates a warm, welcoming feeling in your room. If you only have one light source in your room, consider adding something new. You can experiment with placing them in different places until you get that “just right” feeling. Here are a few options to explore: Have at least one table lamp and a floor lamp with a dimmer switch so you can adjust the brightness according to need. Reading lights next to your bed are not only practical items but add to the overall ambience of your room. If you are concerned about having an open flame in your room, there are many different types of flameless (battery operated) candles that are safer than regular candles. You may need extra money to hire an electrician to do the work for you, but the results will be really beautiful. You can find different styles of string lighting, so choose one that looks nice in your space. You can hang it over your bed, in your curtains, or anywhere else you'd like. It can create a dreamy or romantic look in your room. Plus, the low light output is very calming. You can find string lights online or in some department stores. If you have an extra string of Christmas lights, you can use those!

Having a variety of sizes will give you a pumpkin family! Make sure they're clean if you had them laying around the house. You want them very orange to simulate pumpkins. If you don't have craft paper, use scrapbook paper, card, or wrapping paper. Anything that's bendy and colorful will work. Make arched evil eyebrows, a handlebar mustache, surprised eyes, or any detail that you'd like your pumpkin pots to have. The simpler your face, the more it will look like a jack-o-lantern. Give it a toothy grin, a triangular nose, and triangular eyes to make it look more pumpkin-esque. You only need a layer on the side you'll place the face for right now. Use a sponge brush or paint brush for best results. A thin, but even layer is ideal. Press them firmly into place. Then, apply a thin layer of the sticky stuff all over the pot, effectively weather-proofing it. When we say stick, we mean stick.

Having a written record of the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco will serve as a constant reminder of why you have chosen to quit. Keep it in a place you can reference it easily.  Reflect on any decreased physical or mental health as a result of tobacco and alcohol. Have you gained weight or decreased fitness as a result of using? Do you become angry without alcohol, or anxious without tobacco? Many people choose to quit addictions because they feel sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and engaging the addiction is more draining than the positive effects of the substance.  Consider how tobacco and alcohol interfere with your relationships and social life. Think of financial costs alcohol and tobacco cost you. Use a notebook to record the times throughout the day you smoke or drink alcohol. Record what feelings or situations preceded using alcohol and tobacco. Avoid situations that may trigger you in the future.  A trigger could be getting into an argument with your family or something not going well at work. Because alcohol and nicotine are highly correlated substances, one can trigger the other. For example, if you begin drinking, you may want to have a cigarette. Be clear on whether you want to stop altogether or slowly taper your use. While some may want to quit for social or health reasons, others may want to quit due to medical reasons or because they have an addiction. Reflect on your reasons and then choose your goals. If you are an alcoholic, it is best to cut alcohol out altogether and not taper it down.  People who smoke have a much harder time quitting alcohol and also tend to relapse more than people who do not smoke. Set goals that include concurrently quitting both nicotine and alcohol together. Write down a date for each goal to solidify the commitment.

Having an agent isn't strictly necessary to land roles, but an agent’s sole job is to help you find work, and this can facilitate you finding your first few gigs. Check online to see if there are agents in your area taking on new clients. Just be careful about the agency you join. Agents make money when they find gigs for clients, so don’t accept help from someone who wants a membership fee. Extras are the background actors in movies, so they don’t usually have speaking parts. However, it’s sometimes a paying gig and it can get you exposure, and there are famous actors out there who were discovered while working as extras. To find work as an extra, check publications, casting calls, newspapers, and the internet to see if there are any nearby movies being filmed that require help. If you live in a smaller town rather than a major movie production hub, there's always a chance that your city will be chosen as the filming location for a big movie. Otherwise, look for art houses, colleges, and other production studios nearby that might require actors from time to time, and audition any time there's an opportunity.  To find out about possible roles, check local and community papers, bulletins, theaters, and colleges.  If a large production does happen to be filming in your city, contact the casting company to ask about auditions for parts or extras. Auditions are tough and nerve-racking, but unless you're a big-name actor, it’s usually the only way you'll get a part. Like everything, auditions take practice, and the more you do, the easier it will be to make a good impression when you're auditioning for bigger roles.  Audition for any role you can, no matter how small the part or how low-budget the film. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want the part—audition practice is invaluable, and the role could end up being a good opportunity. When you go for the audition be prepared by knowing your lines, scenes, the basic storyline, and the character you're playing. When you're first getting started in the acting industry...

Having an anvil will allow you to apply your enchantment book to an item. To craft an anvil, you will need the following:   Three iron blocks - Each iron block requires nine iron bars, for a total of twenty-seven iron bars needed.  Four iron bars - These bars bring the iron total to thirty-one. You can create iron bars by adding iron ore, which is the grey stone with orange-brown spots, into a furnace that has coal in it. As it did earlier, the crafting table will open to a three-by-three grid. To do so, you'll place the three iron blocks in the top row of the crafting table grid, three of the four iron bars along the bottom row of the grid, and the final iron bar in the center of the grid, then select the anvil icon.  On the PE version of Minecraft, you'll tap the black anvil icon on the left side of the screen. On the console version of Minecraft, you'll select the anvil icon in the "Structures" tab. You're now ready to craft an enchanted item. It will open to three boxes. You can place it in either the far-left box or the middle box here. For example, you might add a sword. It goes in either the far-left box or the middle box. This is the box on the far-right side of the anvil's menu. Doing so will add your enchanted item to your inventory.

Having at least a bachelor's degree is a requirement. This is not a requirement for the job, but rather for the work visa. Without a work visa (or a spouse visa if you are married to a Japanese citizen) you cannot legally work in Japan. This is an immigration law. Without a bachelor's degree, Japan will not issue you a work visa. You don't want to break the law in Japan. If you are caught working without a visa you will be detained and deported. Your bachelor's degree doesn't need to be in English or teaching, but it might be more useful. Any bachelor's degree will do. If you do want to work in Japan then you will need a lot of money. It is recommended to bring at least $2,000 with you to help you get started before you get your first paycheck. In addition, you will need to buy suits for your job. Most schools will require you to wear a suit, but some let you take off the suit jacket in the classroom, especially during summer time. You should have at least 3 nice suits. Also, you will have to pay for your plane tickets. Depending on your interview location, you may need to fly there (even within your own country). You also need to pay for your own flight to Japan. In other words, no arrests. The government will not issue a visa to someone who has committed a crime. Small crimes several years ago may be overlooked, but anything in the past 5 years is almost a guarantee than your visa will be denied.

Having children requires you and your spouse to be in good physical condition. Take some time to consider how healthy you are and what you can do to improve on your health before trying to become pregnant. For example, if you smoke or your partner smokes, then take steps to quit smoking. If you and your partner are overweight, then take steps to lose weight. Try to pinpoint your health challenges and identify ways that you can improve your health. Before you expand your family, you and your partner should take time to work out any challenges in your relationship. Having children can put a strain on both of you and if you have issues, then it is in your future child’s best interest to try to find a solutions to these issues. For example, if you tend to argue now and then about minor things, then work on improving your communication with your partner. If your issues are larger than small arguments now and then, you may want to consider marriage counseling to help you resolve problems before trying to have a child. Raising a child is expensive, so it is important to consider your ability to provide things like a crib, clothing, food, and toys. If you are struggling with your finances, then you may want to take some time to improve your situation and save a bit of money before you start trying for a  baby. Raising a child also requires lots of teamwork between you and your spouse, so you should be on the same page regarding how you will raise your child. Talk about the values that you and your spouse share and how you can overcome disagreements about values. For example, do you and your spouse share the same ideas about how to discipline your child? Can you agree on what moral values to instill in your child? Do either of you have a strong religious preference? Longer relationships tend to have more stability and this is important for your future child. Consider how long you and your spouse have been together and if your relationship is stable enough for a child. It is a good idea to wait until you have been...

Having clean feet will go a long way to ensuring that your Rainbow sandals stay clean and odor-free. Keep a bar of deodorizing soap in the shower, and use a washcloth to vigorously scrub your feet. Not only will this remove dirt and grime that can stain your sandals, but it will also slough off the dead skin cells that contribute to smelly shoes. When you get out of the shower, don’t stop drying yourself off when you get to your ankles. Do a thorough job of toweling off your feet, including between your toes, to discourage any fungi from setting up shop. If you have trouble with foot fungus, you may want to consider using a daily foot powder. This is a good idea if you have particularly sweaty feet. While foot powders absorb sweat, antiperspirants actually stop your feet from sweating to begin with. If you find yourself constantly sweating into your sandals, spraying some on in the morning could go a long way to keeping them cleaner. Odor-causing fungus thrives in damp, dark areas, like the soles of your shoes. Try to spend some time every day barefoot, ideally outdoors, with your feet up and the sun shining on them. Just make sure you give your feet a good rinsing and drying off if they get dirty.

What curricular needs do they and/or your department have? What would you like students to have achieved by the end of the course? Write out a set of learning goals for your course (using action verbs) and include it as one of the first sections on your syllabus. You don’t need to have a great number of learning goals for your course; including a few well-thought out goals is best. You don’t have to only teach what is included in your stated goals, but they will serve as a guide. Some examples of learning goals used in actual courses are:  Demonstrate the ability to read, evaluate and interpret general economic information. Apply research methods in psychology, including design, data analysis, and interpretation to a research project. Communicate effectively in an oral presentation. Formulate a well-organized argument supported by evidence. Identify major figures and ideas in peace movements from around the world. Once you have developed a set of learning goals, you will want to make sure your students are meeting them. Typically, you will determine this based on how students perform on the assignments you provide, but there are other options as well. You will want to write a more or less detailed description of assignments/assessment tools to include in your syllabus. Some typical ways of assessing learning include:  Quizzes and exams Learning activities (fill in the blank, practice equations, etc.) Presentations Writing assignments (essays, research papers, etc.) Portfolios that gather and introduce a collection of finished work Self-reflective exercises (ask students to describe what they have learned from the course) In order to determine how a student is performing on any given assignment, you'll want a rubric....

Определите цели учебного курса. Учебная программа должна включать изложение задач. Подумайте, как вы будете оценивать успешность. Разработайте категории оценки заданий. Составьте организационные правила курса. Составьте черновой график занятий. Напишите черновой вариант программы.


Having clear-cut, well-defined goals increases the chances of success in almost any endeavor. When it comes to reading, you may not be aware of your goals going into the book. However, you can easily create your own goals as you go along.  If you're reading a book for class, you probably have a set number of pages or chapters to get through. This can help you have a clear end in sight. If you're reading for pleasure and find yourself struggling, try setting daily reading goals for yourself. You can choose a set number of pages or chapters, and keep yourself motivated by reminding yourself you're only reading a fraction of the book that day. Challenge yourself to learn something from the text. You can learn a great deal from reading, whether it's fiction, nonfiction, or historical texts - even the boring ones. If a book is hard to get through, it may seem even more daunting to look at the book as a single work of literature spanning hundreds of pages. Instead of trying to marathon the book from cover to cover, try breaking it up into smaller sections - say, a few chapters every day. As you work your way through the day's section(s), try taking breaks between chapters so you can refresh your mind and rest your eyes before you continue.  Take breaks along the way to help you stay focused. However, make sure you decide beforehand how many breaks you'll take and how often. Don't take breaks whenever you feel like it. Challenge yourself to get through a set reading goal (like the end of a long chapter, or after completing two relatively short chapters). Put your bookmark at the end of that group of chapters. That way you'll be able to see where the end point is as you turn each page, and you'll be more motivated to make it all the way to your resting point. A boring book may tempt you to reach for your cellphone, check your social media, or flip on the television. However, breaking your focus like this will only make it more difficult to get through the book. Instead of giving in to temptation, force yourself to...

Having company can make a long car ride into a memorable bonding experience. You can talk to your friends, play games with them, sing songs and even have deep and heart-felt conversations with them on the road.  If you're driving, you can divide the drive into shifts and delegate shifts to friends or family members who can drive. Driving for shorter time periods can prevent accidents from happening if you get tired and it can make the whole journey go faster and smoother. Driving alone might mean you will have to stop frequently to rest. Choose your companions wisely. A long drive can be fun with the right kind of people, while it can be torturous with the wrong kind. Choose reliable friends who will be willing to help you out during a long drive. Check with your other companions, especially if you're travelling with family or parents, if inviting others to the trip is okay. It's very important every gets along for the whole ride. Bring CDs, upload music onto your music device, and create a playlist of songs. Choose:  Songs you can sing along to. Belting out notes can make listening to music into a performance. Movie soundtracks or Broadway musical songs are great song choices that you can be fun to sing along with. Songs with an upbeat tune. If you're driving, you'll probably be tired and you don't want to lose control of the wheel. Choose upbeat songs to keep you awake and feeling fresh. A lot of songs. If the ride is long, running out of songs and having to replay them can make music become boring. You can calculate how long the ride will be and try to bring enough songs to last the ride. You can find many interesting books or podcasts to listen to while on the road. This is helpful if you'd like to read in the car but you're the one driving or you easily get carsick doing so.  There are a variety of genres of podcasts to listen to. Some podcasts are comedic, some are creative, and some are educational. They can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours long. Audiobooks give a dramatic feel to conventional...

Having concrete examples of your work to show prospective employers lends you credibility and supports the impression that you are someone with knowledge and experience.  Keep records of any events you helped to plan.  Hold on to photographs, sample invitations and professional references from clients and vendors attesting to your reliability and expertise.  Put these in a professional-looking binder or case.  If possible, scan them and have them available to send to prospective employers via email. Prepare a professional resume on which you include your experience and education. Be sure to list volunteer assignments and professional and student organizations you are a part of. Write an individualized cover letter for each job opening.  There is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" cover letter.  Customize you letter in a way that addresses the specific needs of the organization and how you can meet them. Tell everyone you know that you're looking for work and ask them to pass on any leads.  You never know who someone else might know or what they might hear about a job opening.  Create a LinkedIn account.  This social media site allows you to set up an account where you can post your resume, join industry groups and network with others in your field. Keep track of classmates. If someone who was in your program lands a job, ask them how they did it and if there are more openings available at their new place of employment. Have business cards made and keep them with you at all times.  Business cards are relatively inexpensive and good to have on hand because you never know where or when you might run in to someone who can help you find a job. So much job hunting is done online these days, that it's essential that you visit popular job sites.  Also, certain professional organizations or specialty sites list jobs postings in the event management field, which allows you to use to focus your job-hunting efforts.

Having determined what type of finish is on your floor by following the instructions for Preparing the Floor, buy a stripping solution that will remove that type. Also make sure the stripping solution is safe to use on hardwood, or whichever material your floor is made from. If you can't find a product that specifically matches the type of finish previously used on your floor, try out a "universal" floor stripping solution on a small corner of your floor to test it. Remove all dust and debris from the area using a dust mop if you have one, or a broom if not. Put on clean footwear afterward to prevent further dust from getting on the floor. Chemicals in the solution can be dangerous to the skin or create toxic fumes. Work in a well ventilated area and protect yourself with gloves, long sleeves and pants. Use goggles and a respirator mask for large stripping jobs or poorly ventilated areas. The respirator mask should be labeled as an organic vapor blocker. A heavy duty trash bag allows for easy cleanup and lets you use the bucket for other purposes later. Follow the instructions on the floor stripping solution to determine how much you need, and whether to dilute the solution with water. Have a mop ready.  The trash bag is especially essential for mop buckets, since you don't want to later clean your floor with residual floor stripping solution. A "strip mop" is a specialized mop that will do a more effective job, but any mop will do. You don't have much time to apply and remove the stripping solution, so it's important to have a second mop handy for cleaning up. The first mop will be too saturated with stripping solution to use for cleaning purposes. Stripping solution makes the floor slippery, so plan your route in advance to avoid having to walk over it. Scrub the floor evenly and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, but do not allow it to dry.  Try to agitate the finish with your mop as you apply the stripping solution. The stripping solution should change color as it removes and mingles with the finish over...

Having diabetes can do a lot of damage to your kidneys; high levels of blood sugar can make the kidneys overwork and filter too much blood. Overtime, overworked kidneys can lose their ability to function properly, resulting in kidney failure. To check your daily blood glucose, you can use a glucose monitor that you can purchase at your local pharmacy. Record each day’s reading. A normal fasting glucose level is generally less than 110 mg/dl. ‘Fasting glucose’ means that the recording is taken before you eat breakfast so your stomach is empty. If you have diabetes, your doctor will have prescribed you with a medication that you can take daily. The medication will either be taken orally or is a shot of insulin. Regardless of the type of medication, make sure that you follow your doctor’s prescription. When you have diabetes, you should try to control any spurts of blood sugar levels. This is because these spurts can damage your kidneys, since your body’s insulin is not able to control sudden spurts of blood sugar level. This means trying to avoid very sugary foods as much as possible. You should avoid:  Granulated sugars and other sweeteners. Soft drinks (sodas) and candy. Dried fruits. Cookies, cakes, and other baked goods.

Having empathy means being able to put yourself in another person's shoes and to understand her state of mind and how she feels. To do this, though, you have to be able to listen. Follow the advice above, but also use active listening techniques.  Focus your attention on what the other person is saying. There is no need to say anything at first. In fact, it's better to just let her talk. Don't interrupt to give your opinion. At the same time, though, signal that you're paying attention by nodding, acknowledging points, or with verbal cues like, “Yes” or “I see.” Do these things without breaking into the flow of conversation. To empathize, you'll need to temporarily push your own opinions and judgments to the side until you hear your peer out. This can be hard. However, the point is to try to understand what the other person is feeling and not to insert your own perspective. This means you should focus on her experience.  You don't ultimately need to accept the other person's perspective. But you have to let go of your own opinions, value scale, and perspective to gain access to her mental state. Do not dismiss the other person's perspective, for one thing. Insisting that the topic isn't important or telling your peer to “Just get over it” is completely dismissive and defensive. Avoid comparisons, too. Your experiences may be totally different and miss or minimize what your peer is feeling. For instance, it's best not to say something like “You know, I used to feel the same way when X happened…” Don't try to offer solutions, either. The point of empathy isn't necessarily to solve a problem, but to hear a person out. If you want to really listen to another person and what they have to say, engage them actively but respectfully. Restate points to make sure that you've understood – without interrupting. You can also consider asking questions.  When your peer has expressed a point, repeat the main point back to her in slightly different words, i.e. “If I understand you, you're upset because you don't feel we...

Having everything on hand to repair your antenna will save you time while repairing it. You will need a flat, clear space to work, and also:  A clean soda can Sturdy scissors or shears A pen A book Needle nose pliers You will first need to cut the top of the can free from the rest of it. Now you can begin a single cut that follows around the can at a gradual angle spiraling down to the bottom of your can. You should remove the bottom of your can after you are through cutting your spiral aluminum strip. Take care when cutting your can; the aluminum may be sharp enough to cut you. Using a flat, heavy object (like a book), or even your hands, flatten your spiral strip entirely. Remove any particularly bad burrs or jagged edges from your flattened strip. Collect any shards or pieces of aluminum. These are sharp, and can result in cuts or slivers. Take your pen and run it along the middle of your strip to begin creasing your strip of aluminum. Bend the outside edges of your strip with your needle nose pliers or hands, drawing each side together above the crease you have made. The resulting shape of your aluminum will now be cylindrical. If your antenna has broken off close to the bottom, you may want to fold the outside edges of your strip around the remaining antenna nub. If your break is higher up on the antenna, wrap the outside edges around so that the antenna extends into your aluminum to stabilize the aluminum extension. If your antenna has been torn out of its port completely, you may be able to narrow your aluminum to fit in the antenna receiver hole, but if damage has been done to the port, you made need to replace the antenna assembly completely. In some cases, you may be able to sheath your antenna with your now cylindrical foil. This may result in a stable junction. However, if your antenna is flimsy or you are concerned about the elements (wind should be a serious concern for car antennas), you can further support the break by wrapping it in duct tape or electrical tape.

Having fresh, kissable breath is a major component of having a knockout first kiss. Make sure that you have brushed your teeth and used mouthwash some time before the kiss, or that you chewed minty gum or sucked on a breath mint before the kiss. You can do this an hour or so before -- you don't want your breath to be too minty or it will look like you tried a little too hard to get ready for the kiss. If you had dinner or ate before the kiss, you should avoid ordering any foods that are heavy in garlic, onions, or any intense spices. It's important to share your first kiss in an intimate or romantic atmosphere. Your first kiss may be something you remember for the rest of your lives, so you should make it special. You don't have to bring out a thousand candles or serenade the person, but you should pick the ideal time and place for a kiss.  Kiss in the evening. Kissing as the sun is setting or after it has fallen is more romantic than kissing during the day. You'll also feel less shy about your first kiss if you're kissing in the dark. Kiss somewhere private. Pick a private location that is free of distractions or onlookers so you can really focus on your kiss. Pick a secluded park bench, a nice spot near a beach or a lake, or even your own balcony. Look nice. Dress up a little bit to signify that you're about to have a special moment. You don't want to have your first kiss in your gym clothes. This is an important point. You can set the mood and prepare your breath all you want, but nothing you do will matter if your partner is not ready for the kiss. Before you share the kiss, make sure your partner has exhibited signs of liking you, whether it's through going on a date, touching you, or even telling you how he or she feels. If your partner keeps gazing into your eyes, touching you lightly, and smiling, then you'll know that she's ready for the kiss. Before you get ready for the kiss, you need to make sure to take it slow and to be gentle. If you're too aggressive or rough, your partner will get the wrong...

Having fun, lightening your mood, and kicking back are also key elements in managing stress. Different people have different approaches to this, so pick an activity that works well for you. Many people find it helpful to talk to a friend when they are stressed out.  For some people, it is helpful to vent their frustrations. Getting whatever is stressing you out off your chest can help you relax. Call a friend who won't mind a 10 minute venting session.  Other people prefer to be distracted. Call a friend who is fun, or who makes you laugh. This can help take your mind off your troubles and de-stress. Even if you can't reach a friend to talk to, laughter can be a powerful way to relieve stress. Fortunately, there is plenty of content online that can help you laugh your troubles away.  Look up jokes on the internet, and take 10 minutes to have a good chuckle. Look up funny videos that will make you laugh. This could be cat videos, clips of your favorite comedy show, sports bloopers, or something else. Whatever you find funny can help you get your mind off your troubles. Many people find physical activity relaxing. This doesn't have to be something as formal as mindful walking. You can move around in your home in ways that help you relax.  Some people find cleaning the house to be a good way to relieve stress. Find a small cleaning project you can do for 10 minutes. Vacuum your floor, wipe down some counters, or clean the tub. For some people, a little dance party goes a long ways. Either by yourself or with a friend, take a few minutes to dance to your favorite music. Just cut loose for a few minutes. If you don't like dancing, you may still find music is a great way to decrease stress levels. Play some tunes that help you feel calmer.  For some people, this means relaxing or mellow music, like classical or smooth jazz. For others, some upbeat happy tunes are what take the edge off. Experiment with different types of music and see what works best for you. Many people find showering to be a good way to...

Having goals that don't fit with your overall values is like riding in a buggy with two horse that are going in opposite directions - it's mayhem. You can have the most inspiring goals, but if they are not supporting your personal values, your success won't feel like success.  For example, Joe finds that his biggest values are community involvement, integrity, and leadership. In his current job, he is a supervisor at a non-profit organization that offers scholarships and training to under-served student populations. He learns that all the funds are not being directed to students as he once thought. Despite him meeting his values of community involvement and leadership, Joe may feel dissatisfied with his job because the organization is not one of integrity. Joe must develop new goals that align with his values to bring him balance and happiness.   Create SMART goals - those that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. Ensuring that your goals meet these requirements can help you accomplish you goals faster and move closer to self-actualization. Self-actualization is a careful balance of goal completion and values. Whenever one becomes misaligned, you will need to revisit both your values and goals. If your values shift, for example, because you have a family, you will need to create new goals that coincide with these new values. Committing to becoming a lifelong learner is the ultimate step in achieving self-actualization. A lifelong learner is one who uses information and experience to expand his own horizons and his life accordingly. Become a lifelong learner by:  Questioning your assumptions - Think twice about unquestioned beliefs or biases, asking yourself "What else could I assume?" or "What evidence do I have for or against this assumption?"  Teaching learned skills to others - Whether it's information from your career or study gleaned from a hobby, teach it. Teaching what you know to others helps you gain exposure, allows you to be seen as an expert to others, and enhances your...

Having good nutrition is vital to keeping your body healthy and keeping bedsores at bay. When you are healthy, your body can help heal bedsores more quickly and keep new ones from developing. If you are deficient in certain vitamins, especially iron, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C, you may put yourself at higher risk for developing bedsores. Take vitamin supplements in addition to eating foods rich in vitamins. Eating or drinking lots of protein will also help keep your body healthy. If you're worried you aren't getting enough protein through your diet, a supplement drink like Ensure can help. Drink plenty of water every day. Men should aim to consume about 13 8-ounce cups of fluids and women should aim to consume about 9 8-ounce cups of fluids per day. This does not mean you need to drink only water. Many foods have high water content, and healthy foods can have up to 20% of your daily intake of fluids. Eat foods that also have high water content, such as watermelon, to increase your water intake.  You can also get added hydration by sucking on ice cubes throughout the day in addition to drinking water. Do not drink alcohol, as this can contribute to dehydrating your body. If you are underweight, you have less padding to protect certain parts of your body that are prone to developing bedsores. Your skin can break down more easily. Being overweight can similarly cause problems, as it may be difficult for you to reposition your body to relieve pressure. Smoking contributes to drying out your skin and is generally considered an unhealthy habit. As well, it reduces blood circulation, a condition which can contribute to increased risk of bedsores.

Having good posture is important for both improving your posture and avoiding injuries. Sit in a chair with a firm back rather than a cushy recliner. Plant your feet firmly on the floor. Sit up so you can peer over the paper, but don’t hunch over it. If your posture is bad, you may end up holding your pen improperly, so be sure to practice good posture whenever you can.  Feeling comfortable while writing is the most important part. You should also feel like your arms have a free range of movement. If you maintain bad posture, you may begin to notice stiffness in your back. Your arms may also tire out quickly as you write. You may be tempted to curl your fingers over the pen, pressing so tightly that your fingers begin cramping. You do not have to press so hard that your knuckles turn white and your pen rips the paper. Position your fingers close to the pen’s tip, holding on firmly but gently.  If your hand looks like a claw or a fist, you are likely holding the pen too tightly. Straighten your fingers, letting the pen rest on your hand. To practice your grip, place a small object, such as a tissue, rubber ball, or coin, in your hand. Holding an object in your writing hand ensures your hand stays more open, keeping your grip loose. Set a piece of paper on a flat surface, such as your desk. Hold the pen in a way that feels comfortable to you, then start writing. You can write out any words that come to mind. Try to write full paragraphs, working from 1 side of the page to the other.  Start out writing slowly. Once you feel comfortable holding and moving your pen, you can begin writing more quickly. Practicing can also help you refine your writing so it is neater. Practice makes perfect!

Having immediate male family members (such as a father or brother) with prostate cancer significantly increase your risk of developing it yourself. In fact, the risk is more than doubled! It's essential that you notify your doctor of any family history of prostate cancer so you can work together to build a comprehensive preventive program.  Note that the risk is high for men with a brother diagnosed with prostate cancer than a father. In addition, the risk is increased for those men who have multiple relatives with prostate cancer, especially if those relatives were diagnosed at a young age (e.g., before 40).  Ask your doctor to test to see if you have mutations of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, which may increase your chances of prostate cancer. These include erectile dysfunction, blood in your urine, pain when you urinate or have sex, pain in the hips or low back, or always feeling like you need to urinate. However, prostate cancer is often asymptomatic, at least until it has spread to affect other parts of the body, such as the bones. Patients diagnosed with prostate cancer rarely report the above symptoms of incontinence, blood in the urine, impotence, etc. The American Cancer Society recommends getting screened for prostate cancer beginning at age 50 (or age 45 if you have any risk factors for prostate cancer). Screening involves the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. PSA is a substance made by both the normal and cancer the cells in your prostate that is found in a small amount in the blood. Most men have PSA levels of 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) of blood, and the higher the PSA leve, the higher the chance of cancer. The gap between screenings depends on the results of this test. Men who have a PSA of less than 2.5 ng/mL need retesting every 2 years, whereas men with higher PSA levels should be tested annually.  A digital rectal exam (DRE) may also be included in the screening. In this exam, a clinician will feel for a nodule on the back side of the prostate.  Neither the PSA nor the DRE is...

Having inadequate coping resources pre-loss is associated with higher difficulties and chronic grief after the loss of a loved one. Thus, it is crucial to employ coping mechanisms when you are fearful of losing a loved one.  People typically have ways to cope with certain emotions such as fear, loss, grief and depressed mood. Some examples of positive ways of coping with fear of losing a loved one include exercise, writing, art, nature activities, spiritual/religious behaviors (such as prayer) and music. Deal with your feelings appropriately; allow yourself to feel them and let them out if you need to. Higher depression levels (prior to the death of a loved one) may indicate a better adjustment to loss once the loss occurs. Crying can be a healthy and normal release of pent up sadness and fear. Keep a fear journal. Write down your thoughts and feelings about losing your loved one. If you find yourself in a panic or having extreme anxiety about the thought of losing a loved one, deep breathing exercises can help to reduce physiological reactions (heavy breathing, rapid heart-beat, etc) and help you feel calm. Sit or lie down in a comfortable place and position. Breathe deeply and slowly in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth. Concentrate solely on your breathing pattern. Pay attention to your stomach/diaphragm as it moves in and out as you breathe. High self-esteem is a protective factor against difficulties dealing with issues related to death. However, relationship issues such as conflict and excessive dependency on others may result in individuals becoming more vulnerable to chronic grief after the passing of a loved one.  Be more independent and plan for a life of independence. Trust that it will get easier and you will be able to cope with it. Believing that the world has meaning (a point) helps people deal with the reality of death and can help reduce the fear of losing a loved one. Having a purpose in life means living for specific reasons (such as for family, an occupation, to help the...

Having long conversations with an annoying person will imply that you are interested in talking to them. Keep your conversations brief and to the point. Even if you aren’t rude, the person is likely to move on to someone else who is more accommodating to their need for attention. If they do insist on talking for longer than you want, excuse yourself from the conversation. If you attempted to make a conversation about an assignment short and sweet, but the other person jumped right into talking about something else, excuse yourself to go restroom and end the conversation. If you have routine interaction with an annoying person, consider trying to avoid them. Avoid going to places that you know that they will be. Try to be uninviting to keep them from wanting to be around you. Shift your schedule so that you just barely miss the time that you would normally pass them. You could also consider taking a different route to your class, office, or other routine destination.  If this annoying person is a co-worker, try shutting your door to keep them from bothering you in your office. Change up your lunchtime or eating place to avoid an annoying classmate or co-worker. Most people like to receive attention. Sometimes, even negative attention will give that person some satisfaction. You can make the interaction less appealing to the other person if you ignore them as much as possible. This clearly states that you are not interested in interacting with them. It may take several tries, but the annoying person is likely to get bored or flustered with trying to interact with you. If you are dealing with an annoying person regularly, it is likely that they will have your cell number or add you to social media. There is a good chance that they will feel comfortable contacting you any time through electronic media. The best way to handle this is to keep your responses few and far between. You can also choose not to respond at all.  For example, if an annoying person messages you saying something like “Hey, what are you...

Having long nails doesn’t mean never cutting them! Once you’ve decided on a desired length, groom your nails often to maintain that length. The length you choose is completely up to you, but remember that the longer your nails are, the more bacteria they can harbor. Diligently keep your nails and hands clean.  Trim your nails straight across, then trim the sides as rounded edges. Doing this will avoid breakage and since you'll be shaping them with a file later, don't worry about trimming them to the desired shape now. Everyone’s nails having a breaking point after reaching a certain length, no matter how strong your nails are. The longer the nail, the more easily it can break. Experiment a little to find out what length works best for you. Apply the nail hardener first and then add a fresh layer of topcoat every 1 to 2 days to keep your nails looking great and to help prevent chipping and breakage. If you polish your nails with color, do that first and then apply the additional products.  There is a wide variety of nail polish, nail strengtheners, topcoat and nail hardeners on the market, which you can find in the same section as nail polish when shopping. Experiment with different kinds and discover which products work best for you. Avoid changing your polish frequently, because nail polish itself and removing the polish can both be hard on your nails.  Decals are popular nail adornments and there are tons of designs available. The best ones to use are the kind you peel off paper and apply to your nail like stickers. Do this after you apply nail color, and then do your topcoat on top of the decals to seal them in. These can weaken your nails. The worst culprit is nail polisher remover, which is particularly harsh because many removers contain acetone, which is a very aggressive solvent.  Limit your use of nail polish remover and choose a brand that is acetone-free. Many nail polish brands use harsh and even toxic chemicals in their formulas. These chemicals can make your nails brittle. If this concerns you,...

Having low self-esteem and many worries about how others view you might make sharing parts of yourself seem unthinkable. Remind yourself that even if you are preoccupied with yourself, maybe even sick of thinking about yourself, people in your life experience the opposite. As a shy person, people you care about may be wishing that they know or understand you better. By making attempts to let some of this inner-world out, you are also opening yourself up to other perspectives. If your self-image is quite negative, chances are good that opening up to those you trust will only help you see great parts of you that you fail to consider. When you want to open up to friends, family, or a romantic partner, don't be afraid to be frank about where you're coming from. By letting your guard down and talking about how you presently feel, others will feel instantly connected to a deeper part of you. Most importantly, the other person will not recoil in doubt or fear that something wrong with him makes it difficult for you to open up.  Try starting with something like "I want you to know that I'm a little shy talking about this, so please bear with me." This statement enlists support rather than making an excuse. Remember that you do not need to apologize for your level of progress in opening up. Apologizing will set off doubt and passivity. Make sure that you are not owning your shyness to signal that you need sympathy or babying. The purpose is to give insight into why you might seem nervous or aloof. Having patience and support from others should ultimately help you take risks and display effort as you learn how to be more comfortable opening up. Turn your focus outward and let the other person motivate your desire to open up. Watch facial expressions and listen for raises in tone that cue you in to what the person is getting excited about. Excitement is contagious, and with deep engagement it'll be hard not to return it.  Deep attention to the cues of others does not mean that you should take a subordinate position in...

Having low self-esteem can manifest as feeling like you don’t deserve to be treated well or that things will take a turn for the worst. These thoughts can sabotage the relationship and will eventually become a reality. Instead of sabotaging your relationship, work on building your confidence and your confidence in your partner.  If you’ve been hurt in the past, heal those wounds and validate your worth, knowing that you are deserving of giving and receiving love. Instead of avoiding sexual intimacy because you’re self-conscious about your body, learn to accept yourself as you are. If you choose to make changes to your body (such as losing weight), recognize that being your ideal weight may not change your insecurity and that it’s up to you to feel comfortable in your own skin. Nothing kills a relationship like holding onto a grudge. If you and your partner have an unresolved issue that is putting a strain on your relationship, then it’s time to forgive each other and move on. Talk to each other openly about it and try to move past it. If you haven’t had success in letting it go before this, it might be time to see a couples’ counselor to help you get your relationship back on track. There’s nothing wrong with going to counseling, and it can be immensely helpful in finding ways to relate to each other and grow closer emotionally. Just because you are committed to one another, doesn't mean you have to spend every waking second together. In fact, spending some time apart will usually improve your relationship by allowing you to blow off some steam, reconnect with friends, and relax. Agree with your partner about how much time you want to spend together versus apart, such as having one night each week of time apart, or one weekend each month.  This choice show be arrived at by mutual agreement.  Take a girls' or guys' night out every once in a while, or take a spa weekend away to unwind. Being apart temporarily often sparks up the relationship, raising the anticipation and excitement of being reunited. Don’t drop...

Having more energy will make you a much more playful person. One of the reasons people stop being playful is because they're just too tired to be up for playing games or taking the world less seriously. So, try to eat three balanced meals, get enough rest, spend time socializing, and avoid anything that will lead you to be generally too exhausted to even smile. There are a million ways to be more energetic, from changing your socks in the middle of the day to wearing brighter colors to project more energy. This is another key way to be more playful. When you were a kid, you must have said yes to most of the new things in front of you; as you grew older, you got more used to your habits and routine and became less interested in new activities. So, if you want to be more playful, say yes to more invitations, and say yes the next time someone wants to go to the zoo with you, teach you how to juggle, or take a ceramics class. Only good will come of it.  Make a goal of saying yes at least 30% more in your every day life. Stop with the excuses. The next time you say no to something, ask yourself what's really stopping you. Is it tiredness? Laziness? The fear of trying something new? Getting out of your comfort zone will allow you to become a truly playful person. Do something that completely scares you, whether it's taking swimming lessons, trying Ethiopian food, or hanging out with a group of people who seem to have nothing in common with you. Getting out of your comfort zone will teach you that you have more to learn and do than you thought, and that the very things that make you uncomfortable can be the most rewarding of all.  You'll never be truly playful if you do the same five old things every week. Try to do something that makes you uncomfortable at least once a week. Hang out with people who challenge you to try new things. A lot of people aren't playful enough simply because they don't have the time to be. Make sure you set at least three hours a week aside in your schedule for "play time" -- you can even...

Having no appetite while technically hungry is usually a temporary thing. Regardless of the reasons why you might be feeling this way, there should come a time where your appetite finally catches up with the rest of your body. If you don't need to eat right this instant, you're better off holding off on it until you're at such a point where you can enjoy your meal in earnest. It's quite possible that your body is in fact too tired to send proper signals of hunger to your brain. If you're feeling drowsy at all, it' a good idea to get a quick nap to help replenish your energy. Even a power nap as short as half an hour should do well to get your appetite going again. Nothing whets the appetite like a walk or a decent jog. Going for some moderate exercise will help stimulate your body and remind you what you need the energy from food for. Granted, if you have no appetite, it may feel be that you're not feeling good in other areas. Exercise is recommended in a lot of cases, but if you're feeling sick, it may be best just to have a nap instead. Arguably the best possible thing you can do to stimulate your hunger is to drink water. This will fill your stomach for a short time and hopefully stimulate you for more to come. If you've done what you can and still feel dubious towards eating something, the best possible advice is to start small, and eat slow. Even if it's just serving a fraction of your meal to yourself at a time, the manageable portions will prove far less daunting than a full meal. Make sure you're as relaxed as possible; if you're feeling tense and really don't want to eat, your gag reflex might work up as you're trying to eat.

Having people to whom you can reach out is a great way to overcome stress, whether you are seeking concrete help or just a bit of encouragement. It doesn’t need to be a huge network. Really, you might find enough support in your family, a few friends, or a church community. The important thing is that you feel they are there for you.  Cast a wide net. Your “supporters” don’t have to fill all roles. You might have a co-worker that you talk to about work-related stresses, and a close friend in whom you can confide your fears and secrets. Seek out help when you need it. If you are dealing with a particularly stressful patch of life, and your own network isn’t up to the task, consider looking for a support group where you can meet people with the same challenges. Be proactive. Spend time with friends and family. Make time to see and talk to them. Physical well-being is actually closely linked to good mental health. For example, exercise and a healthy diet can noticeably improve your mental health and lead to reduced levels of stress. If you are feeling down, make sure you are not neglecting this side of your lifestyle.  Exercise can be a big mood-booster, as it reduces muscle tension, increases blood flow, and releases “feel-good” chemicals. Aim for a minimum of 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, like walking, swimming, or light aerobics.  A good diet is another part of a healthy mind and body. Eating breakfast regularly and fueling yourself with healthy foods like whole grains, vegetables, and fruit will give you a steady stream of energy throughout the day, keeping you on the level.  Be aware of what mood-altering substances you put into your body, and why. Stimulants like caffeine, for example, found in coffee, tea, and energy drinks, gives you a temporary energy boost but can leave you feeling anxious, irritable, or restless. Mindfulness is a Buddhist technique that involves living life “in the moment.” Rather than judging events as good or bad, you observe them from an emotional distance. The goal is...

Having positive relationships with others is a crucial component of being able to cope with being different. We need social connection, and to feel like we fit in somewhere, in order to have a positive sense of well-being. People are drawn to positive and confident individuals. You will need confidence to face your fears and meet new people.  Use positive self-talk. Avoid blaming yourself or beating yourself up. Examples might include thinking, “What a loser! I can’t do anything right!” Try mindfulness. Mindfulness can help individuals become nonjudgmental and more accepting of themselves. Simply notice everything around you. What colors or objects do you see? What do you currently feel? What do you hear? Be aware of your own thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. Everyone has something that makes them feel cool and perfect. So do it. Buy cool clothes, sing, dance, act - whatever makes you feel awesome. When you feel different and possibly social rejected, it can help to find a group of people who are similar to you (in culture, ethnicity, religion, interests, disability, appearance, values, etc). Everyone needs to feel a part of a community to have a sense of happiness and well-being.  Join a club or class of like-minded individuals. Some examples include: science, math, drama, dance, choir, yearbook and student government. Try playing a sport at school or for fun such as: basketball, volleyball, football, soccer, track, cross country, water polo, tennis, dance, or cheer-leading. Try Meetup.com, where you can identify any type of group you want including: hiking, painting, video gaming, rock-climbing, and many more. Make sure it is safe and if you are a minor ensure that your parent or legal guardian is aware. Authenticity is important in making positive connections with others. Nobody wants to interact or connect with someone who is putting on a facade. Be your very own unique self. Avoid changing your personality (talking or acting in a certain way) to try to fit in.  Scream when you want (and won't get in...

Having positive relationships with others is important to living a meaningful life. Try to build positive, meaningful relationships with your friends and family members.  Prioritize connecting with others. Make time with your friends on weekends. Try to e-mail and text your friends throughout the day. Work on building close relationships. You learn a lot about yourself through how you engage with people around you.  Take time each week to connect with friends and family members. Ask your parents about having a weekly family game night. Make a point of getting together with your friends for a movie on Saturday nights. Feeling close to people is a matter of spending time together frequently.  Talk to your friends and family members. Share stories. Talk about your week and how you're feeling. Ask others how they are feeling and genuinely listen to the answers. Share tastes in music, books, and television. You can learn a lot about yourself and your values through talking to others.  Teamwork can help with getting close to your family. Engaging in activities that require you and your family to work together can foster positive feelings. Cook dinner with your siblings. Clean the garage or do other yard work together as a family. Working together can help you and your family grow close. In addition to getting close to existing contacts, try to meet new people. You can learn a lot by having a diverse range of friends and contacts. Reach out and meet new people.  Go to events where you're likely to meet others. Go to a concern, poetry reading, art show, or other event that feels interesting to you. Go alone as this will give you an opportunity to meet others.  You can also find new people by doing things like volunteering, taking on a part-time job, or joining a club or organization.  Connecting to people means showing interest in them. When trying to meet new people, ask questions. Ask people where they're from, what they're interested in, and other ice-breaking topics. Having genuine interest is a great way to make...

Having sex and falling in love are very different things. Most people are taught by movies, TV, and even friends/family that having sex will always lead to love. Love, however, is a complex and nuanced emotion that develops over time, building as you get to know someone emotionally and socially, not just physically. After orgasm women release a hormone called oxytocin, also known as the "cuddle chemical" that mimics feelings of connection and love. This is why, regardless of their logical thoughts about a person, love is often confused with sex. It is hard to return to friendship after a romantic or sexual relationship. Adding sex back into the mix, however, will always resurface feelings of love and attraction. One of the things that separate friends from couples is a lack of sexual connection. Rekindling your sex life together will rekindle the feelings involved as well, whether you want them or not. This includes sleeping with close friends, as your existing connection, when mixed with sex, leaves very little separating you from becoming a couple. Why do you want to have sex with someone? Are you trying to have a little fun, experiment with new people, or feel lonely? You need to know your goals going in, because they will profoundly affect how attached you get to someone. Be honest with yourself to prevent confusion in the aftermath of the hook-up. If you tend to fall for every person you sleep with or are looking for a partner, then you should think twice about having casual sex. If you just want to have fun, have no interest or desire for a relationship, and feel like experimenting a bit, you should feel free to proceed.  Hooking-up without developing strings is easier if you just want to have some fun and learn more about your sexual needs. Hooking-up because you are lonely, recently heartbroken, or hurting is often a recipe for unwanted attraction, as you try and compensate for your feelings with your new sexual partner. Are there things that automatically signal intimacy? Some people refrain from...

Знайте, вам не обязательно влюбляться в человека, чтобы заняться с ним сексом. Старайтесь не спать с людьми, с которыми у вас раньше были романтические отношения. Спросите себя, чего вы хотите от секса. Случайные связи не для всех, и это нормально. Устанавливайте свои границы. Не стоит постоянно искать возможности переспать с одним и тем же человеком. Сделайте удовольствие приоритетом в ваших отношениях. Каждые несколько недель снова пересматривайте свои цели, касающиеся отношений. Уходите, если вас что-то не устраивает.


Having sex with a partner can help release prostaglandins, which are similar to hormones in your body. Prostaglandins can bring on labor. Sperm from an ejaculation inside the vagina can help to soften and dilate the cervix, also readying the body for labor.  Having an orgasm stimulates prostaglandins, so if you don’t feel comfortable having sex, you can still have an orgasm on your own. Do not have sex if your water has already broken, as this can put you at risk for infection. Nipple stimulation is another way to induce uterine contractions. Use your thumb and forefinger to roll the nipple for 2 minutes. Give it a rest for 3 minutes. Continue this process for about 20 minutes. If you don’t feel any contractions, increase the rolling part to 3 minutes, with the rests lasting 2 minutes. Use olive oil on your fingers to prevent irritation. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, a traditional Chinese bodywork technique that promotes relaxation and healing. According to this healing technique, the body has acupoints through which energy flows. Applying direct, firm pressure to two of these points may help induce labor. To use acupressure:  Locate the pressure points, which are in the webbing between your thumb and your index finger and on your lower leg about 3 inches (8 cm) above the inside of your ankle bone. Pinch the webbing of your hand. Rub for 30-60 seconds by moving in a circular motion.  Press firmly with the tip of a finger or two fingers on the spot on your leg. Rub in a circular motion. With either of these pressure points, stop rubbing when you have a contraction. Start rubbing again when the contraction stops. Reflexology is a method of using pressure points in the feet to trigger labor within 24-48 hours. Use the pressure points that correspond to the pituitary, bladder, solar plexus, and ovaries and uterus to activate your body into labor. Put direct, firm pressure on one of these points, or rub in a circular motion with firm pressure.   Pituitary: Located on the big toe, this pressure point will...

Having social support can help people be able to cope with negative thoughts.  Ask friends, family, significant others, teachers, colleagues, or other trusted individuals for support or help dealing with your negative thoughts. Get another opinion. If you find yourself unable to change your negative thinking – ask others to help come up with alternative ways of thinking. You might be surprised at how helpful it can be. If you're constantly around people who complain and find the worst in a situation, you'll tend to think like that, too. Cut the negative influences from your life, and spend your time with people who put you in a positive frame of mind. When bad thoughts aren't part of your regular conversations, they won't be a regular part of your thinking habits either. If bad thoughts are interfering with your ability to live your life happily, and nothing you do on your own seems to be making a difference, then you may benefit from seeking help from a licensed professional (therapist or psychologist). Therapists will be able to help you work through your bad thoughts in a structured, safe way.  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that focuses specifically on changing negative thinking in order to improve emotions and behaviors. This is exactly the type of treatment that can help you learn to deal with bad thoughts. CBT has also been shown to help many different mental health issues such as depressive disorders, anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Ask your therapist if she can use CBT in your treatment. Remember that therapy is not a quick fix. A handful of appointments with a therapist will not make bad thoughts go away. Be patient and stick with your therapist and your treatment plan to help you deal with bad thoughts more constructively.

Having someone monitoring your strokes, your breathing, and your technique is a great way to get a new perspective on how you approach your swim style. A good coach standing on the pool deck working with a group of swimmers is the best way to improve your overall swimming performance. If you can’t find a coach, have a swimming buddy whose technique you admire watch your workout. Aside from a coach, recording yourself is a great way to get perspective on how you move through the water. You’ll see bad habits you might not have been aware of as well as strengths you can improve upon. A long stroke is great; you’re using good propulsion, low drag, and glide. A short stroke is great, too, but you can waste energy on strokes that are too short and scrappy.  Know your stroke rate. It’s a powerful aspect to know because it will allow you to make needed changes to your strokes to improve your style. Ask a friend or coach to time you for ten strokes with a stopwatch, not including dives or push-offs, just regular swimming. Count the number of strokes you take in the ten seconds. This is your stroke rate. Adjust your stroke as needed. A long distance event is any distance-based swimming event more than 1650 yards or 1508.8 meters. It can also be any time based even equal to or greater than one hour and can be in a pool or any body of water. Long distance swims are a great way to focus your expertise in your training for an fun event. Sign up with friends and make a weekend getaway out of it!

Having something to read can make time pass during a long car ride. You can pack your favorite books or magazines, or an e-reader if you have one. Try to bring more than one book – you might get bored with just one, and having more than one option can keep you entertained. If you’re traveling with a group of people, having some car-friendly games on hand can entertain you and everyone else. Easily portable games include Trivial Pursuit (you can keep track of who’s winning by tracking how many correct answers each person gets), Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity. Having portable technology with you can help keep you entertained, too. Bring a tablet or e-reader, or even a portable DVD player. You can also pack a music player (like an iPod) or portable gaming device, or even your laptop. Bringing your smartphone can also keep you occupied.  If you bring the DVD player, remember to bring DVDs. Don't forget headphones! You might feel hungry when you’re bored, and this is especially true on long car rides. Pack healthy snacks to keep yourself full without feeling heavy.  A small bag of veggies that are easy to eat in the car - like carrots and peppers - are an easy and healthy snack. String cheese is easy to pack and a better option than fast food. You can also pack small bags of nuts like almonds and cashews.
