Being a grown-up is not just about having responsibilities; it’s about fulfilling your obligations and promises in a timely manner, too. Think about all the things you are responsible for. Do you accomplish tasks quickly and without being reminded? Some common grown-up responsibilities include:  Taking care of children Caring for elderly parents Paying a mortgage or rent Maintaining a working car Shopping and cooking for a household When you were young, your top priorities may have been to take care of yourself and to have fun. As you mature, your priorities start to revolve around taking care of others in addition to yourself. For example:  You may be more concerned about health, retirement, or your debt. You will plan to be financially stable instead of rich. You will start to save money for your children's education or for insurance costs. You may even have a plan in the event of your death or the death of your spouse. Living independently is often a goal of adulthood. Being able to clean, fix, and manage your own home is a sign that your personal life is in order. Look around your home, and consider the following:  How clean is your home?  Tidiness is often a sign of maturity. You may start washing your dishes immediately after dinner, or you may start to dust once a week. Who do you live with? Living alone may indicate that you are independent. Living with roommates and significant others shows that you can maturely share a space with others. Living with your parents might be a sign that you haven’t quite transitioned into adulthood, or it may mean that you need some time to achieve financial independence.  Who fixes your home? If something breaks, taking care of it yourself is a major sign of responsibility. If the problem is outside of your ability, you should be able to call a professional in a timely manner, instead of waiting until the problem worsens. Being grown-up isn’t just about taking care of yourself. It also involves taking care of others. You may have many people who rely on you for certain...

Being a guy's friend first gives you two great benefits: he gets to know you and you get to know him, without the awkwardness of being in a dedicated relationship. Treat him like you would all your other friends - be casual and comfortable around him.  Guys will usually be more open with guys than girls, but that doesn't mean that you can't get close - that's usually where the magic happens. Just be careful though - if it gets too platonic, you might lose the romantic connection and sometimes it can be really hard to get back that spark once you are placed firmly in the friend-zone. If this happens, things can become too complicated and you might be tempted to give up. A little bit of flirtation throughout the relationship will keep things going nicely. This may seem like a no-brainer, but actually talking to the guy you like (rather than pining after him from afar) is of utmost importance when it comes to getting him to like you.  Ask him stimulating, interesting questions; find out about his life, his family, his friends; tell him funny stories. Anything that opens up a dialogue between the two of you. If you can get the guy talking about something he's really passionate about - whether it's a favorite sports team, band, author - then you're on to a winner. When he's talking to you about something he loves, he'll start to associate the positive emotions he feels with you! Though this may come as surprise, guys love compliments just as much as girls do, so don't be afraid to say something nice to him from time to time. Of course, showering him with fake compliments is not a good idea - you'll just come off as insincere.  Compliment something about his appearance, like his cute dimples or cool new haircut. Just don't overdo it - guys can be shy about that sort of thing. A simple "I love the color of your eyes" is all you need to say. However, compliments don't just need to be focused on appearance. If he's talking about something that he loves, tell him that you admire how passionate he is. You can also...

Being a leader doesn't necessarily mean being the most talkative, giving corny motivational speeches at halftime. Silent and stoic or loud and inspirational, leaders come in all forms, but have one thing in common. Leaders lead by example. You need to practice what you preach, putting lots of effort into your game and improving your play. When other teammates see you leaving everything on the field, doing that extra rep, running when your tank is expired, they'll be motivated to do the same. Go 100% all the time. As a team leader, remember that you're not a coach. It's not your job to tell other players what to do, it's your job to be a good player. If others are motivated by your performance, all the better. If not, just focus on your own skills and in doing the best job you can do. Teams are only as fast as the slowest player, a chain as strong as the weakest link. Try to identify your teammates that need a little extra and help them out by pairing up during partner drills, or cheering them on during practice. If you're a strong player, you might automatically gravitate toward other strong players, but try to spend time with younger teammates who might need to learn more. It'll mean a lot to them and make you stand out as a leader.  Cheer on your teammates, clapping and encouraging the players when something goes right, and when you see other players getting frustrated with the way something is going. Take control of the morale of your team and encourage them toward success. Different teams have different dynamics, meaning that there's no one way to motivate other players. Some good players may need motivated with some reverse psychology: "You can just sit this one out if you're feeling tired. Maybe it'd be better to let one of the freshman play instead?" Likewise, some unconfident players might need encouragement to improve their play: "You're looking like an upperclassman out there. Keep it up, kid." Morale can sink quickly with a loss, but if you get into the blame-game, it can sink a whole lot lower....

Being a leader in the workplace often involves recognizing when workers need greater direction. This is especially important for new employees or those in new positions who are still norming to their role.  Be sure new employees have training before beginning their new role.  Walk the employee through the steps of their new position, providing note-taking materials. Ensure the employee handbook is up-to-date and easily accessible to all employees, new and existing alike. Delegate instruction and allow new employees to shadow senior coworkers. Appeal to the professional interests of each worker by creating clear paths for development and promotion. Motivate workers by challenging them. Many people thrive when challenged to innovate or perform new tasks. Encourage team members to increase efficiency by creating new systems or recommending product changes. When employees perform well, acknowledge their achievements verbally or by setting up rewards systems.  Announce these achievements to the rest of the team, offering opportunities for positive reinforcement and role modeling. .  Opportunities for recognition can include:  Completing a unique project that is important to the success of the team. Taking a leadership role within a company charity event. When an employee has a major life event (i.e. marriage, childbirth, graduation) When an employee received a promotion or bonus.

Being a professional poker player doesn’t mean having your name in lights: it means playing poker as your job. You don’t need to travel circuits around the world to be a professional poker player – you just need to make it your main source of income. If you find a place or two you jive with, stick with those places. It’s your bread and butter. You will likely develop a reputation for yourself if you stick to one or two places. People may start not wanting to play with you, or worse, recognizing your habits and strategy. If you sense this coming, you may have to widen your circuit and play unsuspecting strangers. If you’re lucky enough to be an amazing poker player who resides out of the USA, you can play online poker to pad your bankroll. Lots of people find this easier – it’s often quicker, pain-free, and, quite frankly, it’s easier to take money from the faceless. If you do live in the USA, it’s possible, but it may not be legal. The US decreed a law recently banning banks from dealing with online poker companies. However, you can play for free online to practice – or you could hack into the system and get a foreign IP address, though that’s not at all recommended. That huge number you came up with in the last section? You need that to play seriously. You need that for buy-ins and betting, and for when lady luck isn’t on your side. Every time you win a game, have half of your hand go directly to your bankroll. If you’re playing often, you should have it in a few months’ time. Don't be tempted to get into intense tournaments when you don't have it just yet. You may end up losing your earnings and having to start all the way back over. Be patient. Some people are just not smart about playing games of skill. They end up losing all their money on a hand they swore was going to be the big winner. They go home penniless, having to beg their friends for favors. Don’t let that be you! Have some money saved up for a rainy day in case you become a little too addicted to the game and happen upon an unfortunate losing...

Being a successful fashion designer not only requires talent and creativity, it also requires a sound knowledge of the business and marketing aspects of the fashion world. Keep yourself updated on the happenings in the fashion industry by regularly reading trade journals like Women's Wear Daily and Daily News Record.  Many fashion design programs include courses in marketing. Some programs/majors highlight marketing more than others, so be sure to do ample research on the coursework involved in the program you choose. If you've already undertaken a course but missed the marketing/financial side of things, consider doing short courses in these aspects of business. Learn beyond design. There is an entire supply chain involved in the fashion industry and you need to understand what each person's job is, so that you can see things from their perspective too, in order to make compromises, meet demands and understand where things get held up. Research what others do, such as buyers, merchandisers, pattern cutters, garment and fabric technologists, quality controllers, graders, sample machinists, sales people, PR and marketing people, fashion journalists, retailers, event organizers, fashion stylists and so forth. Know your customer. This skill is basic and essential and it's one a fashion designer must never lose sight of. Know how much your customers spend, what their lifestyles are, where they like to shop, how they like to shop and what they like and dislike. Know what are absolute needs and what are the things that only get bought when disposable incomes are less tight. If you have done marketing, you should have a solid understanding of how to work out customers' needs. Know your competitors. Always keep an eye on what other fashion designers in your area of interest are doing. At a minimum, keep up. Better still, surpass them while still meeting your customers' needs. Trade fairs are an excellent place to develop deeper understanding of how the fashion industry works and what will work for you in terms of...

Being a tour guide means you need to be a people person. Be prepared to answer questions constantly, handle difficult personalities, and herd groups of people around interesting sites and locations. You’ll need to be cheerful and upbeat whenever you’re on the job. You may want to schedule alone time during your days off to balance out your work schedule. Your primary job is to give people interesting facts about the places you visit. Take time learning about those places. Get information from your company, the local library, and online to expand your knowledge.  Attendees will ask you questions that may be slightly off-topic. Knowing these answers will impress your audience and make you a better guide. If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so. Tell your audience you’re not sure, but that you’d love to know the answer and will be looking for it as soon as you can. When you’re coordinating people, travel plans, and site visits, there’s a lot of opportunity for crisis! Don’t panic if someone gets sick, your tour bus breaks, or a park randomly closes for the day. It’s your job to think on your feet and deal with situations as they arise. You can always contact your company for assistance in these situations, but you’ll need to keep a cool head. You’re the leader of the group when you’re out on a tour, and they’ll look to you for guidance. One of the hardest aspects of being a tour guide is that you’re usually hired as a temporary worker. If you live in a country that provides health insurance through employers, you may need to coordinate getting private insurance on your own. You’ll also need to be responsible for keeping employment and tax records. Remember that your group is on vacation, and you’re at work. Do whatever you need to do to keep the group happy and safe. Stay focused on them whenever you’re on the clock. This might be hard if you’re leading groups in beautiful and relaxing locations, but stay strong! You’re getting paid for this work.

Being a woman also involves maturing emotionally, psychologically, and behaviorally. Most importantly: you will have to learn how to be independent. This will involve learning new skills and habits that will pave a pathway toward success as an adult. There are a lot of things to learn. You might not be able to learn them all right away, but these life skills will allow you to carve your own path through the world without relying on anybody else. Consider purchasing or checking out of the library books that can help orient you to the world of womanhood. Pay attention to how-to guides to help you learn valuable skills. The internet, your friends, and trusted adult mentors are also great resources for learning the skills you will need to be an independent woman. Financial responsibility is important as you mature from a girl into a woman. Perhaps you are working in your first job, preparing to pay for college, or thinking about moving out of your parents' home. In all these cases you will have to learn important life skills such as:  Balancing your checkbook. Keeping careful track of your income and expenses. Paying your taxes in a timely way. Saving up for large purchases and to create a safety net. Learning when it makes sense to take on debt, and when it does not make sense. One way to become a more independent young woman is to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B without depending on your parents. Depending on how old you are and where you live, you might inquire about getting your driver's license or learning permit. Otherwise you can look into public transportation options so that you can travel freely to school, work, and other locations. Being able to keep your commitments, show up on time, take responsibility for your actions, and respond appropriately to criticism will all serve you well in your life as a woman, especially if you work in a career. Finding and keeping a job will allow you to learn how to be independent and will also give you some financial freedom as you mature into womanhood....

Being a woman is not just about the body you are developing: it also has to do with the way you think and feel about yourself. It might take a lot of time and hard work before you feel like a true woman, but there are steps you can take to make the transition. The world is constantly changing, and there are a lot of things to learn. Consider purchasing or checking out of the library books that can help orient you to the world of womanhood. Pay attention to the memoirs and autobiographies of women you respect. You will be exposed to the challenges they faced, which will help you confront your own challenges. If you act like an adult, not only will you be treated like an adult but you will also have higher self-esteem. Some key steps you can take include:  Avoiding procrastination. Take responsibility for your commitments, and complete your tasks in a timely way. Having good manners. Behaving in a kind and polite way can help set the stage for a responsible adulthood.  Standing up for yourself. Politeness is important, but it does not mean that you should be walked all over. Learn how to express your views with confidence, even if the people around you are not behaving as politely as you are. While women tend to underestimate their abilities, men tend to overestimate their abilities. This is known as the "confidence gap." Keep this in mind as you enter adulthood: even if you feel nervous about a task, you might very well be the most competent person in the room. Some ways you can overcome the confidence gap include:  Seeking out female role models. Find women in leadership positions who can help you learn leadership skills of your own, such as how to speak with confidence, how to supervise a team, and how to engage in constructive criticism.  Not letting your "niceness" keep you down. Kindness and politeness are important skills for adulthood, but women are often told to be nice and polite at the expense of their knowledge and expertise.

Being able to brush your teeth, to apply fresh deodorant, or to moisturize your face can go a long way toward making you feel more human while traveling. Put your essentials in your carry-on bag so that you have them to wind down for an airport nap or to freshen up after sleeping.  All of your toiletries should be travel sizes and comply with your country’s carry-on restrictions. Bringing a soft T-shirt or sweat pants can make sleeping in the airport a more comfortable experience. Opt for lighter weight items to keep your luggage easy to carry. Rolling your clothes can keep them from taking up too much space in your luggage, as well. The temperature in airports is often unpredictable, so bringing a blanket can help you sleep more comfortably or provide an extra layer between you and the ground. Similarly, a pillow supports your neck and can help you relax. Opt for an inflatable neck pillow that is easy to deflate. This will take up little room in your carry-on. Lightweight blankets and pillows can be bought from most general retailers, camping stores, outdoorsman stores, and luggage/travel stores. Dressing in layers gives you lots of options to better regulate your temperature and sleep comfortably. A short sleeve shirt or camisole under a lightweight jacket or sweater gives you lots of versatility. If you’re too warm, use extra layers to pad your sleeping area. A sleeping mask will keep out light, which can be especially useful if you’re moving through different time zones. In addition, bringing headphones helps you relax to music on your phone, tablet, or music player. The alarm you’ve set to wake yourself up will pipe directly into your ears, too.  White noise tracks are a great way of tuning out sound around you. You can find free white-noise players, such as Bed Time Fan or White Noise, in the app store.

Being able to keep the conversation going is important when you're flirting. And people love to talk about themselves. Let your crush do most of the talking by asking questions about what they did last weekend, who their favorite band is, or how they like to spend their free time. Focus on questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” so the conversation continues flowing.  Ask a question like, "If you could be an animal, what would you be?" instead of "Would you want to be a cat?" Or ask, "What do you think about the book we're reading in English?" instead of "Do you like the book?" Don't force questions into the conversation. Too many questions will feel more like an interview than flirting. Ask them whenever it feels natural and choose questions that follow the topic of conversation. If they say they love pizza, for example, ask something related like, "What are your favorite toppings?" instead of jumping to a random question like "What's your favorite song?" You're definitely not the one who's going to make the first move, and that's okay. Get them to do the asking by strategically including signs in your next conversation. If the two of you are talking about favorite movies and they mention one they're looking forward to seeing in theaters, say, “I can't wait to see that one, either!” or even, “I really want to see that but none of my friends will go with me.” That leaves the perfect opening for them to ask if you want to go with them.  Don't be discouraged if they don't pick up on your hints. That's the thing about being subtle: It doesn't always work. It works both ways, too. If you notice that they're dropping hints about hanging out, realize it might be a sign they want you to ask them out. Don't say, “We should hang out sometime.” It's vague and likely means it will never happen. Know exactly what you want to do and when so they can either say yes or no. For example, say, “Do you want to go to midnight bowling with me on Saturday night?” instead of “Maybe we can go bowling soon.” If they aren't...

Being able to lucid dream requires that you be fully self-aware and undistracted by thoughts that relate to your waking life. While you are laying in bed trying to fall asleep, clear your head of distracting thoughts, and focus all of your attention on the fact that you are falling asleep and about to enter a dream state. Meditation will also help you clear your mind of all of the negativity that will keep you from having a restful sleep. Before you go to bed, decide what you want to dream about. Paint a vivid image of your surroundings, and be sure to include details like sights, sounds, and smells. Put yourself in the scene, and try moving around within it.  Pay attention to the sensations of breathing and walking around in this dreamscape. Though you are not yet dreaming, tell yourself "I'm in a dream." Continue this visualization technique until you have fallen asleep. Choose your ideal location for optimal results. Leave a photo, a symbol, or even a blank piece of paper at your bedside before you fall into sleep. Take something that represents the thing you want to dream about and leave it out before you go to bed so that it can help you transition into the dream you want to have. If you want to dream about a certain person, have that person's picture out near you. If you're an artist who is struggling to find a subject, leave a blank canvas at your bedside.  Taking this measure can prime you to dream about the things you want to dream about because it will plant the kernel of these things in your mind before you go to sleep. As you lie in bed and get ready for sleep, tell yourself something as simple as, "Tonight, when I dream, I want to realize I'm dreaming." Repeat this to yourself a few times and really focus on making it happen. This will help you get in the mindset you need to be in to recognize that you're dreaming. If you really want to control your dreams, then you should sleep in complete darkness, or as close to complete darkness as you can. Sleeping in darkness keeps your melatonin levels...

Being active throughout the day and week will give you huge benefits physically and mentally. An active lifestyle is the best way to keep your body in the best possible shape (as opposed to one big burst of activity every now and then). Try to get 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in a day. Your heart rate should be up and it shouldn’t be so vigorous that you find it difficult to speak as you exercise.  You don’t need to spend a lot of money to be physically fit. Joining a gym is not the only way to stay healthy; though it’s certainly an option. Consider joining a sports team, or asking a friend or family member to join you for a daily jog. Look up different videos or blogs of fitness experts you can follow. Be sure to check the credentials of any ‘expert’ that you follow. Check for training, certifications and qualifications on their website. You don’t want to follow someone posing as an expert as you might end up injuring yourself.  If you’re not used to being physically active, it will take you time to build up your stamina. Keep going! Experiment with different hair, makeup and sartorial styles. Look to your role models as a starting place for a sense of fashion. If any of them are stylists or celebrities, look to see what kind of style she’s wearing these days.  Look up tutorials online for different makeup styles. Makeup not only enhances your natural beauty but it can also be used to create looks that highlight facial features you admire such as big eyes or slim noses.  Stay within your budget. Don’t go overboard and don’t try to buy a replica of every outfit your role model has. Consider buying drugstore ‘dupes’ of high-end brand makeup. You are only looking to your role models for inspiration. Fashion changes constantly but your style will be yours always.

Being around a narcissist can really drain you of energy, so be sure to spend time with positive people who are able to pour love and attention back into you. Spend time with people who have empathy and are able to focus on you and your needs.  When you need someone to talk to, reach out to loved ones and share what's going on. Talk to people who are willing to listen to your side of things and give support as needed. Try to carve out time for supportive people weekly, so that you can get the attention and nurturing that the narcissist does not give. The narcissist’s extreme self-esteem can be a blow to your own confidence. Counter any dips to your self-esteem by identifying your strengths.  Make a list of all your best character traits. Read the list aloud whenever you need an extra lift to your confidence. Make your list even more empowering by reading each trait after saying, “I am.” For example, you might say, “I am kind" or “I am a great listener.” Life with a narcissist often means pouring time, affection, and resources into them nearly 24/7. However, to continue the relationship, you'll have to pour some back into you. Build a self-care routine that helps refill your cup. Visit the spa or try self-massage. Go to lunch with friends. Journal your feelings, listen to music, or take a warm bath. If you need extra support to live with a narcissist, consider talking to others who understand your experience. Attend a local support group for people with loved ones with narcissistic personality or consult with a therapist who has experience with narcissism.  Contact a local mental health clinic to find support groups or counselors in your community. Work with your counselor and support group and ask yourself if it's worth living with the person or whether you may need to leave them.

Being around positive people breeds positivity within you. What’s more, no matter what you go through in life, a strong support group can help keep you grounded and hopeful. When you are around people who have a healthy outlook, this increases your chances of being happy and successful.  Seek out the positive influencers in your life. These are the people who practice gratitude and actively seek out joy in everyday life. Discontinue relationships or distance yourself from negative influencers. These are the people who dwell on problems or burdens. They often don’t laugh or smile and their sour moods may be contagious. If you believe there is a reason for your life, a higher purpose, then getting in touch with your spiritual side may offer protective factors against hard times.  Individuals who describe themselves as spiritual or religious often make healthier lifestyle choices in terms of diet, avoiding risk behaviors like driving without a seat belt, and refraining from smoking, drinking, or using drugs. What’s more, spirituality also provides us with a social support system that encourages us and helps relieve stress.  Spirituality doesn't have to be related to organized religion or philosophy; it can mean whatever you want it to mean. Develop your spirituality by practicing forgiveness, engaging in self-reflection, using nature and art to get in touch with a higher power, and practicing self-compassion. Connecting with others can produce positive outcomes on both sides when connections are forged through charity. Helping others can improve our satisfaction with life, give us a sense of purpose, enhance feelings of self-efficacy, reduce stress, and lift our moods. Not sure how you can help out?

Being assertive does not mean you are aggressive or mean. One of the main characteristics of being assertive is being positive and proactive about your opinions and beliefs. When dealing with your coworkers, always approach situations with a calm and positive manner when expressing your opinions.  For example, if you are upset about a performance review, approach your boss or supervisor with a calm and level head. Think about what you want to address about the review ahead of time and express your concerns in a positive, relaxed manner. Your boss will be more likely to take you seriously if you don’t accuse or act out. Start the exchange with phrases such as, "I would like to discuss my recent review with you. I feel there are some inconsistencies and I would like to address them." Avoid yelling, showing anger, or avoiding the situation. Being overly aggressive will not make your boss take you seriously and avoiding the situation by calling out from work will only reflect negatively on you.  Look your boss or supervisor in the eye when you approach him/her, avoid crossing your arms or taking a defensive position, don't raise your voice, and avoid fidgeting when you discuss the situation. One of the best ways to be assertive is to have faith in your opinions and idea. If you don’t believe in yourself, you will never want to speak up with your ideas or suggestions. Try to express more of your ideas every day at the office, or at least when a proper time arises.  During a meeting, if you have a great idea for your boss about a future project you’d like to initiate or a story you would like to write, speak up in a positive, calm manner. Have faith in your ideas and capabilities. Just make sure your ideas are fully thought out and prepared. Another part of being assertive is making informed comments, decisions, and suggestions. To do this, you need to actively listen to those around you. When a coworker is expressing opinions or beliefs, don’t interrupt or belittle those comments. Instead, try to consider your...

Being awkward around your peers and perfect strangers is difficult enough, but being awkward around someone you actually like can begin to feel impossible. Still, there are a few things you can do to have more social grace around your crush, and it starts with playing it cool and not acting like a puppy who is ready to hump the leg of anyone who comes by. Here are some ways to play it cool without looking too eager:  Smile and say hello, but don't go in for a hug unless you're at "hug" status with the person. If you're not sure, wait for the person to initiate the hug. If you see the person coming down the hall, approach him or her if you're nearby, but don't run to the other end of the building just to say hi or you'll look like a stalker. Don't nod too vigorously at everything the person says, thinking that it will just help you show your interest. Making meaningful replies is more effective than nodding. Avoid laughing at every little thing the person says -- especially if he or she isn't even trying to be funny. To be less socially awkward, you have to be able to recognize the difference between a "creepy comment" and a "nice comment." Don't tell a girl, "You have such soft, fluffy hair. I just want to run my hands through it," unless you want her to slowly back away. Instead, say, "I like your haircut. It makes you look kind of like [insert name of cute celebrity here.]" The compliment should let the person see that you're paying attention without feeling like you're putting too much pressure on.  "You have a great smile" or "You have a great laugh" are usually safe bets. Complimenting a girl's dress or jewelry can make her feel special. Complimenting an aspect of the person's personality can work too; telling a guy he has a great sense of humor will make him feel good. Use your compliments sparingly. If you compliment the person every two seconds, he or she may get annoyed or even overwhelmed. One socially awkward move is the "close talk," which is standing so close to a person that you're practically...

Being busy is a way to prevent negative thoughts from going around your head repeatedly. For depressed persons, the first step is often the hardest, so making yourself do things can be a huge difference in your day and getting you started.  Engage in a hobby you enjoy or think you'll enjoy. Immerse yourself in it. It doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. As long as it's interesting it will serve the purpose. Care for pets. The routine involved in pets needing to be fed, groomed, and played with can be very satisfying for a depressed person. This is especially so because pets don't provide a sense of judgment, but only return love and acceptance. Introduce structure into your everyday life. Make a schedule of what to do every day, no matter how mundane, and gradually expand this as you start to feel better. It doesn't matter whether you work or not. A schedule can put some direction back into a day that might otherwise feel empty or aimless. Feeling down feeds on itself and it soon becomes a catch-22 when you convince yourself that you don't deserve to enjoy anything. The antidote is to do things that you used to enjoy or that are fun for people around you — "one fun thing a day to keep the blues at bay."  As with everything else, do this gradually. One fun thing a day, such as watching a beloved comedy or reading a funny book can give you a sense of fun for a while. Make time to laugh more. This can be watching comedy skits or tv shows that make you laugh, and learn how to take time and enjoy those moments more. Schedule positive events into your life. Go out to dinner, the movies, or for a walk with friends. Take it slowly. If you used to enjoy gardening, plant a single plant. If you used to enjoy a long walk, take a short one. Gradually build up to more enjoyable experiences. of your journey through your depression. Document your feelings somewhere personal and completely private. This will be the place where you let out your darkest thoughts — no holds barred — because you don't need to worry that...

Being chivalrous to a girl remains an important way to have courtesy and respect. You don’t have to bend-over backwards to be courteous.  Consider these small gestures as signs of kindness and respect:  Make sure to say “please” and “thank you.” Use your words to show appreciation of something she’s done to help you, even if it’s a small thing like picking up a pen that fell on the floor. Open doors for her.  Allow her to walk through first, rather than going ahead of her.  Show that you are gentleman. Help to get things that are possibly out of reach.  Let’s say you’re at a store, and the girl is trying to reach something on the top shelf.  Help to grab the item for her, or find someone who works at the store to help with getting the item down. Whether you’re romantically interested in this girl or not, it can make a girl feel special when you compliment her.  Avoid compliment her about certain body parts, that could make you come off as creepy.  Compliment her about if she dressed nicely today.  It doesn’t have to be too specific, just say, “You look nice today.” Compliment her about something she’s doing well.  Let’s say you’re in a class with her, and she just gave a great class presentation.  You could say, “That was a great presentation.  It looked effortless.” Compliment her about things that she does for others.  If she has a generous spirit, say something like, “You’re very caring.” If there is an event planned or you’re meeting up with a girl, show up on-time.  Show that you respect her time, as much as yours, particularly if she’s involved in the event planning.  Being present and showing up is one of the simplest ways to show that you care. Being nice is also about being considerate of others’ time.  The girl is less likely to be anxious or frustrated if you show up when you said you would.

Being clean and smelling nice are the base of looking good.   Take a shower at least once a day, before you go to bed. You should take a shower in the morning too, if you have enough time. Use a body lotion/shower gel.  Brush your teeth three times a day, after each meal. Also use dental floss to remove food stuck between your teeth.   Always use deodorant.  Make sure all the clothes you wear are clean and ironed. Even an awesome piece of clothing can look horrible if it's not clean and ironed; not to mention it won't last too long if you don't take care of it properly, no matter how well-made it is.  Comb or brush your hair to avoid the messy look. Avoid brushing your hair if it's curly.  Follow a proper morning routine. Do these things on a regular basis; they are the basics of looking good. Of course, to look glamorous, you'll need to do a little more than this, but it  will be ruined, no matter how expensive your clothes are or how good your makeup  is. The way your hair looks is crucial for your image as a whole. In order to achieve great hair, follow the advice below.   Keep your hair clean all the time. For oily hair, you should wash it every 1 to 2 days. If you have dry hair, you don't need to wash it that often; only every 2 or 3 days. Use the right type of shampoo for your hair. This is absolutely necessary to prevent dandruff and damaging of your scalp.   Make sure your hair always looks perfect. The only hairstyles that look glamorous are the perfectly styled ones. Rebellious hair not allowed. It can be straight, wavy, or curly, as long as it's shiny and perfectly tamed. Get rid of the frizz by using a straightening iron and/or a smoothing serum or, even better, try straightening it permanently (of course, only if you want straight hair for a longer time). Choose either sleek, stylish, straight hairstyles or romantic, wavy, '40s style wavy hair. For shine, apply a shining spray.  Choose the best color for your hair.

Being close to someone requires telling them exactly what you want. Even if you think you're being obvious, many people have a hard time picking up on hints and indirect communication. You have to be willing to say what's on your mind, even if it's something that you're afraid your partner won't like.  For example, you might say "I would like to be closer with you and share more of my life with you." If you feel like there's a barrier between you, or your partner is putting up a wall, you might say "I feel as though you're closed off to me, and I would like for us to get closer. Would you like to talk about it?" When you attempt to communicate through hints or indirect communication, you always have an out. If your partner picks up on your hint and doesn't like it, you can claim you didn't mean that at all. But even if you avoided a potential conflict, there will still be distance between you. Lies and deceit are always a barrier to closeness. However, refusing to share pieces of your life with your partner or keeping secrets from them can be just as damaging. When they find out about something you've been keeping from them, they may wonder what else you've been hiding.  For example, suppose you have a dance class twice a week, but for some reason, you don't want to tell your significant other. Maybe you think they will ridicule you. So you keep it a secret. However, by doing that you are building a wall between the two of you. This doesn't mean that you can't keep a birthday present or surprise party a secret. However, in that situation, you should also be aware that your partner will likely sense that you're keeping something from them, and might start to get suspicious. When your partner is talking to you, stop doing other things and pay attention to them. Use statements such as "I hear you saying that..." then put what they said in your own words. If your understanding or perception isn't accurate, they can correct it. Then the two of you are both on the same page.  This doesn't mean you can't ever do...

Being creative is about taking leaps of imagination, trying new things, and seeing what happens. Try out a crazy new idea or technique, change up your normal workflow, and cut and paste your work in new and exciting ways. Many of these experiments will fail, but creativity is about finding the one unheard-of new thing that succeeds. Not every creative idea is going to be a good one, and that's okay! If you are afraid of failing, or having a bad idea, you'll never come around to a better one. Stop judging your ideas as you go; instead, write down as many as you possibly can. After you're done, you will pick through the ideas to find the good ones. An idea you might think is bad might actually be fantastic when paired with an idea that strikes you later on – but you'll never know it if you erase the idea right off the bat. “An idea is nothing more nor less than a new combination of old elements.” Take from anything you can. Mutate it, clone it, and combine it until you have something creative that you can call your own. You don't need to think of it as stealing; this is how art begins:  The Rolling Stones mixed delta blues with English rock and roll for a new, honky-tonk style. William Faulkner, Nobel Prize-winning author, took James Joyce's flowing, heady style and combined it with the spiritual and racial history of his home in the American South. Cubism, the art form of Picasso, developed from experiments with Impressionism and the stylized masks of African and Asian sculpture. Stress can be a hindrance to your ability to express your creativity. If you feel confined, stressed, or pressured, move to another location which may be more relaxing, such as a garden or a balcony. Try listening to music to stimulate your brain cells to make connections. Putting on some music, heading outside, or switching desks can break up the monotony and get you working again. Sometimes, simply asking for input can give you the "Eureka!" moment you are looking for. Everyone's mind is different, and the influences that inspire...

Being creative requires you to suspend judgment and take risks. If you start judging ideas before you even get started, you will crush your creative spirit. Let your ideas flow, and only worry about editing them once you get them out. Freewriting is an activity where, as the name suggests, you write freely: whatever comes to mind, write it down. Write nonstop for a certain amount of time (for instance, 10 minutes). By writing without stopping, no matter what comes out, after a few minutes you will start to access new and fresh ideas that you wouldn’t have thought of at first. A mind map is a way of exploring your ideas in a free way. It requires visual organization and logical organization, which engages your whole brain and encourages creativity.  Start with a piece of paper and pen or marker. Write down the concept you are working (for example, “Clothing”) with in the middle of the paper and put it in a shape like a circle or square. Draw lines off of the center to create new shapes with related concepts. For example, you could draw a line from “Clothing” to have a space for “Hats” and another with a space for “Shirts” Draw new lines off of these subcategories to make sub-sub-categories. For example, draw a line for “Flannel” off of “Shirts.” One way to get your creative juices flowing is to challenge accepted ways of understanding things. You can do simple exercises to practice this, as a way of getting ready to think creatively about a problem or project. For example, take an everyday object, like a paper clip, and think of ten new uses for it. Normally, a paper clip is used to fasten loose papers together. However, you could also:  Stick paperclips in the ends of corn so you can eat it off the cob Use a chain of paperclips as a necklace Use a paperclip to open a stubborn seal, such as on a medicine bottle Use a paperclip as an instrument to paint intricate designs on your fingernails using nail polish. ” Free association is a way of drawing new connections between things. It can be used as a practice...

Being dehydrated can cause "false contractions," or contractions that occur before labor has even begun. Staying properly hydrated once labor has started is also important to maintain your strength and stamina. This releases the hormone oxytocin which can help prompt contractions. You can either have your partner do this for you or use a breast pump. If your water has not broken yet, having sex can help naturally induce labor. When the man ejaculates inside the vagina, the prostaglandins contained in his sperm help stimulate the cervix. Make sure that the man ejaculates inside the vagina so that the prostaglandins can do their job. Many people believe that light physical activity, like walking or cleaning around the house, can help speed up the labor process. Only do as much physical activity as you feel safe and comfortable doing. Being stressed can cause you to tighten your muscles which is the opposite of what you want to happen during labor. Have your partner give you a massage or try breathing exercises to help relax. You may also find that a warm bath helps you relax and ease some of the discomfort caused by your contractions. Most women experience significantly longer labors for their first born than with their next kids because the cervix and vaginal walls have not yet been stretched or dilated. Your subsequent labors will likely be much shorter and less painful

Being dehydrated during your period can contribute to bloating and other unpleasant PMS symptoms. Try to drink more water than usual during your period to combat these symptoms. Cut down on caffeine, alcohol, and sodium while on your period, as these things dehydrate the body. If you do consume these goods, make up for it by drinking even more water. Trying to fight that caffeine craving and staying away from soda and coffee? Turn to tea. Not only will it keep you going, but research says it's good for cramps, too. Tea is the next best thing to water. If you can't drink water, this should be your go-to.  In addition to keeping you hydrated, drinking tea has also been linked to fighting cancer, heart disease, and diabetes; encouraging weight loss; lowering cholesterol; and bringing about mental alertness. Getting a lot of vitamin C can starve the uterus of progesterone, which in turn breaks down the uterine walls. All of these can lead to a more accelerated period, making it a thing of the past sooner. Here's a short list of foods that have ample quantities of vitamin C:  Cantaloupe Citrus fruits and juices, such as orange and grapefruit Kiwi Mango Papaya Pineapple Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries Watermelon Say goodbye to cramps and period problems through your diet. The following list is full of vitamins, minerals, omega-3s, and antioxidants that all can curb the pain and lessen your period:  Dill Celery Sesame seeds Salmon Dark chocolate Parsley Hummus These foods are known to cause cramps and upset stomach, in addition to leading to stress and anxiety (at least in caffeine's case). To be on the safe side, just avoid them during your period. If you desperately need a pick-me-up, go for a bite of dark chocolate and glass of red wine. Dark chocolate has that sugar you're craving but is more natural; red wine has heart benefits and antioxidants that fight in your favor.

Being drunk can make you feel overconfident. When your inhibitions are lowered, you might feel like you can’t fail. This might make you want to show everyone your dance moves or a special talent. Similarly, it might make you feel confident enough to ask someone out or confess your feelings.  As an example, you might decide to dance when you normally don’t or you may show off your karaoke skills even though you’re usually too shy. It's okay to have fun, but don't risk your safety. Check in with your friends to make sure you're not putting your safety in jeopardy. For instance, doing karaoke may be fun and safe, but dancing on a bar might be dangerous if you're drunk. Consider if you’re feeling extremely happy, excited, or depressed. Similarly, watch for signs of mood swings, like feeling happy 1 minute and sad the next. It’s common to feel emotional when you’re drunk.  For instance, you might be dancing with your friends thinking this is the best night of your life, then suddenly crying about something that happened last year. Turn off your cell phone or ask a friend to hold onto it if you're feeling tempted to text people about things that happened in the past. For instance, if you're considering confronting your ex, give your phone to your friend. Alcohol lowers your inhibitions, so you feel bolder than usual. This often makes you friendlier than normal, so may feel more comfortable talking to people you just met. Consider if you’re sharing secrets with people you don’t know or becoming instant friends with the people around you.  For instance, you might catch yourself telling a stranger about your family. Try to stick close to your friends or someone you know so that you stay safe. When you’re drunk, it’s normal to talk louder than usual, though you likely won’t notice this. However, people around you may ask you to lower your voice or might cover their ears. Similarly, it’s hard to speak clearly when you’re drunk, so people might ask you to repeat yourself or may respond with “what?”  People might say,...

Being emotionally and mentally strong, or resilient, means adapting well to things like stress, trauma, adversity, or tragedy. Resilience is not something you are born with — it is a process that can be learned by anyone, and is found in ordinary people.  Being emotionally strong doesn't mean you don't experience pain or suffering — resiliency is often learned when one is faced with an extremely painful situation. What it does mean is that you learn to rebuild or "bounce back" from these experiences.  To develop resiliency, you will want to focus on building particular skills, such as: making plans and carrying them out, developing confidence and a positive view of yourself, learning to manage strong feelings and impulses, and learning to communicate and problem solve efficiently. Learning to manage your emotions is another important part of becoming emotionally and mentally strong. You may not be able to control what life throws at you, but you always have a choice about how you react. Again, this is something that is not innate; anyone can learn to manage his or her emotions productively. Before you can build up your mental and emotional strength, you will need to take an inventory of your strengths and challenges to determine what you would like to change. Make a list of as many of your strengths and challenges as you can think of. Once you have finished your list, figure out how to turn each of your challenges into a goal that you can work towards. For example, you might have included on your list of challenges that you have difficulty asserting your needs. If you want to work on this issue, you would say that your goal is to become more assertive. In addition to identifying areas for change, you should take time to celebrate your strengths. Read through the list of your strengths and congratulate yourself for these positive traits. Giving yourself a little pat on the back now and then will help you to stay focused on your positive qualities and help build up your mental and emotional strength. The reason...

Being fast on the field isn't just about running speed—it's also about your ability to change your direction, speed, or technique quickly and frequently. To improve your reaction speed, practice while a coach or friend calls (or better, uses a visual signal) for you to change your exercise. Respond as quickly as possible. Try incorporating a combination of exercises like:  Changing direction quickly when running Sprinting on command Playing “Red Light Green Light” To accelerate, you will have to extend and use your hip, knees, and ankles. When running or doing other exercises, focus on making long, even strides that stretch out. Increasing your stride length and muscle output in this way will boost your speed. While training to increase your speed at moving across the field, do not neglect your control of the ball. Remember that soccer is primarily a sport where the player's lower body moves in contact with the ground and ball. To be not only fast, but fast and in control of the ball, you must work on your agility.  Dribble at every opportunity, using all parts of your foot (outside, inside, top, and bottom). Do speed dribbling exercises by kicking the ball slightly forward and running after it. Practice changing direction quickly while dribbling and doing speed dribbling exercises. You can also do this while attempting to evade another player in order to practice using quick dribbles as a way to beat opponents. Do lateral ball drop exercises. Have a coach or partner hold a ball at shoulder height, 5.4 yards (5 meters) away from you. When your coach/partner drops the ball, attempt to reach and control the ball before it bounces a second time. Practice cone or flag exercises to increase your speed and agility. Time yourself and aim to beat your time each round.

Being feisty takes a lot of energy. Treating every conversation like an exciting new opportunity, constantly looking for ways to joke and tease, and going to great pains to ensure that everyone around you knows what you're thinking can be mentally and physically demanding. Because of this, it's easiest to be feisty if your body can keep up with the demands your new feisty personality is placing on it. Stay in shape by making an effort to get some form of exercise everyday and avoiding sugary and fatty foods. You don't have to be a bodybuilder to be feisty — you just have to be fit enough to have the energy to pounce on every opportunity to express yourself. For detailed fitness advice, check out our article selection on personal fitness. Just as it's important to keep your body in good shape so that you have the energy to be as feisty as possible, it's also important to give yourself adequate rest so that, when you do run out of energy, you're able to replenish it. Everyone fatigues from social interactions at a different rate — some people can go from party to party without losing a beat, while others need to recuperate in solitude after a few hours out and about. Only you will know how much rest you need in order to be at your feistiest, so listen to your body. If you find yourself internally groaning at the thought of interacting with another human being, give yourself some alone time before venturing out. It's worth noting that rest is also very important on a basic physical level. Most medical resources recommend that adults should get roughly 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Failing to get enough sleep can lead to chronic fatigue, stress, and irritability, all of which can lead to you acting more grouchy than feisty. While taking care of the physical side of the equation by exercising, eating nutritiously, and getting adequate rest are great ways to ensure you have the energy to be feisty at all times, in truth, sometimes even the feistiest people have a hard time motivating themselves.

Being flexible is one of the most important qualities of a gymnast. If you want to be a gymnast, you can start working on your flexibility right now. Doing stretches and other exercises every day will make your body more limber, allowing you to perform gymnastics moves with grace and ease.  Being flexible also improves your coordination. To improve your flexibility, do these exercises every day:  Do neck rotations and try to bring your ears as close as possible to your shoulders without raising them. Next is the shoulder stretch, where you pull one arm at a time across your chest. Stretch your chest by locking your fingers behind your back and extending your arms up. Stretch your back with the seal stretch: get in a push up position, then push up keeping your hips on the ground. Stretch your hamstrings and back by leaning forward to touch your toes. Practice  doing the splits until you can go into a full split with ease. Starting from a sitting position, do a knee to chin press. Bring one knee toward your chin, hold it there, then repeat with the other knee.   Do bridges. Start lying down with your knees bent. Put your hands on the floor behind your head and lift your body into a bridge position. It's a fun gymnastics move that will help you get used to using your body in more flexible ways than you're used to. You'll also learn how it feels to be upside down. To start, crouch close to the ground with your hands firmly planted on the floor. Tuck in your head and roll forward onto your back, letting your legs follow naturally. Keep practicing until you can do a forward roll without thinking.  Make sure you keep your head tucked in, and don't roll directly on your neck. You could injure your neck if you put all of your weight on it. Try a more advanced version of the forward roll by starting from a standing position and smoothly rising to your feet without using your hands to support you at the end of the move.

Being friends with everyone isn't about being in the popular clique or demanding respect by being snooty, it's about being likeable and being a good friend. If you want everyone to like you, act like someone you would like. What kind of friend do you picture everyone liking? A good place to start is by being considerate and helpful. If someone missed a day in class, offer your notes. Do they need a ride somewhere? That's an opportunity, too. Who knows? When you need a favour, they may pay it back. Most of us battle with self-image issues and we all have days where we don't feel great about ourselves. But when we meet someone who comes along and who wants to be our friend and who makes life a little more fun, it's easy to perk up. Make your new friends feel good by actively saying you want to hang out, complimenting them, and going out of your way to be friends. Text them randomly, send notes, and just let them know you're on their side. Even just being there for them can change their life. Recent studies have shown that having one good friend can not only make you incredibly happier, but it can also lengthen your life. What's more, one good friend is the equivalent in happiness of $100,000 a year. You just being there for them is quite the gift. Realize that in the process of being friends with (nearly) everyone, you will encounter people with all sorts of personalities, attitudes, opinions and interests. You need to make yourself open-minded and pleasant enough such that you can get along with all of these varying people, even if you may not 100% agree with them on everything. Concentrate on their good qualities and what you like about them – not what you disagree about. Be a respectful person so you can respectfully agree to disagree when differences come along. You don't necessarily have to suppress your views or opinions, but make sure that you're not expressing them in an offensive or harmful way towards others. Since you have so many friends, sometimes it's naturally going to be difficult to keep up the...

Being friends with them may be too much, but you are going to see them or deal with them at certain points due to having a mutual friend. You may even hang out together in a small or large group. So try keeping your distance, but be friendly enough not to put your shared friend in an uncomfortable position.  For example, when hanging out, keep conversations minimal, but pleasant. Consider small talk. If the other person hates you back, they may not be willing to be friendly with you. In this case, that is on them. Your mutual friend will notice and appreciate your efforts. If your friend contacts you and asks, "me and Sarah are going to see a movie, you want to come?" try going. It may be uncomfortable, but you never know what might happen. You might be able to help the situation by spending more time together.    You may learn something new about that person that may help you understand why they are the way they are. You'll get a chance to see your friend and them hang out together and see if they are different around them than they are around you. You may find that spending time with them is not as awful as you thought. While you are hanging out together, it may be easy to develop an “us” vs. “them” mentality. That could be dangerous, because you will feel and then act like you are always in competition with that person. Instead, be the bigger person and resist the urge to get into a power struggle with them.  Remind yourself that they might be trying to bait you into arguing or competing with them. Find an external “enemy” a object that you all agree you dislike. If you are in school, this could be a teacher or an assignment. It could also be a celebrity, or a television show. Remember why you are working hard at this in the first place, to maintain a good relationship with your friend. Arguing in front of them, while you are hanging out together will not accomplish that. Even though you hate them, make an effort to find something about them that you like. Living with that negativity will be harmful for...

Being grateful has long-term benefits on your health, work, and social life. Every night before sleeping, think of the good things that have happened today. Include the things people have said and the things others have done for you. Reflect on the things you ate and the basic necessities you have. It’s easy to take these things for granted. Often, we are too busy thinking of the few negative experiences we have throughout the day to feel positive about the many good things. Sometimes, we suffer a great loss and need to grieve. Grieving does not necessarily mean that we are ungrateful and being grateful does not mean you’re not allowed to grieve. It’s a natural human process. It’s easy to adopt a negative outlook on life. Actively looking for the positive aspects of every situation will help you be grateful. It will help you criticize and complain less and appreciate more. If you find yourself in an unfavourable situation, ask yourself what you can learn from it.  If you find yourself in a generally low mood, look to your thoughts. What are you thinking? How are you thinking? Are you complaining about something? Are you blaming yourself or someone else for what happened? Ask yourself if what you’re thinking is based on fact or opinion. Is there truth to your thought? Think of other ways of looking at your situation. This doesn’t mean that you’re not allowed to have negative thoughts. Everybody has negative thoughts occasionally. Believing all the negative thoughts to be true is what will have a negative impact on your life including lower mood and motivation to work for a great future. Make it a point to thank others who are a valuable part of your life or who have helped you do things to make a better future. Not only will this open the door to more beneficial relationships but will also improve your physical and mental health. Send thank you notes to professional acquaintances and be thoughtful and caring to those you’re close to.

Being hard headed and stuck in your ways can jeopardize the happiness in a relationship. Instead of sticking to your guns, be willing to hear the other person out. Think of what they are asking you to do and whether it will have a negative or positive influence on your life. Many times our partners just want what's best for us, so getting mad at them for wanting something to change for the better is not the right way to feel.  There are certain things that you shouldn't compromise on, like your physical or emotional needs.  Do not compromise your moral values for your girlfriend or you may end up resenting her. Work on compromise as a team so that you both can be happy. When a situation is difficult, it's likely that your girlfriend is going to need more emotional support than she normally does. When she does need help or support, make sure that you are the person that's there for her. Instead of getting angry at her and making her feel even worse, make sure that you're supportive and understanding. Make sure that you offer to listen to her, and do not judge her. Try to make her feel better throughout the day by doing kind things.  If your girlfriend has done something that you don't approve of, instead of berating or criticizing her, try to understand why she did it in the first place. Supporting her does not mean enabling her to do self-destructive behavior. The first step in getting through the tough times is acknowledging that they exist. Do not ignore or minimize serious issues in your relationship if they are there. Sit down and have a hard conversation with your girlfriend about how things have been and your willingness to work on them.  You may not like to talk about emotions, but it's important that you do for the good of the relationship. You can say something like, "I've noticed that ever since your Granny died that you've been pretty depressed. I'll always be here to talk, just let me know if you want to." If you've been open, honest, and nonjudgmental, there's a good likelihood that you'll be the...

Being honest about ourselves can be hard, but to be successful, you need to understand where your strengths and weaknesses are. Understanding your current study habits can help you emphasize your strengths and work on improving your weaknesses, which will help you if you are struggling in a specific area. Start asking yourself questions about your study habits. Are you a good note taker? Are you good at memorizing facts? Are you good at writing essays? Are you good at reading but not math? Are you horrible at multiple choice tests? Every person learns differently. Some people learn by reading while others are more hands-on. Learning styles influence the way we learn and recall information. Understanding which learning styles you possess can help you be more effective in the classroom. There are seven learning styles:  Visual (spatial): You are a visual learner, respond well to pictures and images, and use spatial understanding. Aural (auditory-musical): You learn well with sound and music. Verbal (linguistic): You learn by using words, both spoken and written. Physical (kinesthetic): You are a hands-on learner. You learn through your body, by using your hands and sense of touch. Logical (mathematical): You respond to and learn through logic and reasoning. Social (interpersonal): You learn best when you with other people. Solitary (intrapersonal): You learn best when alone.  To discover your own learning style profile, try an online questionnaire like the one here or here. Once you have determined your particular learning style, you can start tailoring your academic habits to enhance learning. Organization includes many different things. Come prepared to your classes: bring the textbook, a notebook or notebook paper, pens or pencils, highlighters, notecards. Having all the materials not only makes things easier for you, but it leaves a good impression on your teachers. Keep a separate folder for each class. These folders should hold homework, tests, quizzes, notes, handouts, and any other course related...

First, read the English article below.

Being honest means not lying to or misleading your girlfriend, which should be easy enough. But being open requires you to make yourself vulnerable on some level, which many people struggle with. If being open and honest doesn't come naturally to you, you'll need to work on it with your partner for the sake of your relationship.  Open, honest communication is the foundation of a strong relationship. If you cannot be open and honest with one another, you will inevitably encounter problems down the line. Tell your girlfriend the full truth. Don't hold back or withhold your feelings, because she may be upset if she finds out about it. If you're struggling with being open, let your partner know about the problem and try to explain the reasons why. If she knows you struggle with it, she can be extra supportive, and may learn to ask you prompting questions or request elaborations. Many people are in such a hurry to get all their thoughts/feelings out in the open that they fail to pause and reflect on what's being said. This is true of both speaking your mind in general, as well as speaking in response to something your girlfriend has said.  Think carefully about what it is you want to say before you speak. Be aware of what you're feeling when you talk to your girlfriend. Speak as clearly and directly as possible. If you're responding to something your partner said, give her a second to make sure she's finished talking. Then take a brief second to process what she's said and think about how to best articulate your response. You should always strive to be as respectful as possible in every conversation you have with your girlfriend. Respect may be an obvious requirement for many people, but it's important to be aware of your words, your tone, the subtext of your conversation, and your body language to always convey mutual respect for one another.  Take responsibility for what you say and do during a conversation, even if it escalates to an argument. You should both fully express your thoughts and feelings, but you...

Being hot doesn’t mean treating others like you know you’re better than them. Instead, show them that you respect them as individuals. Display common courtesies like holding open a door and saying “thank you”—believe it or not, politeness can be hot! If you spend all your time talking about yourself, you’ll leave the impression that you only care about yourself. While you should feel free to share information about yourself so the other person can get to know you, steer the conversation towards the other person so they feel special.  Practice your active listening skills so it’s clear you’re paying close attention. Confirm what they’ve just said and ask follow-up questions to keep them at the center of the conversation. If they seem eager to keep the conversation focused on you, don’t try too hard to turn it back on them. Take your time building up a comfort level so they feel more comfortable opening up. Check up on the latest world news. Read a book or a newspaper every day. Take some time to develop your opinions on key topics. The more intelligent and well-informed you are, the more likely you are to impress others.  It takes more than looking good to be hot. If you can’t sustain an intelligent conversation for more than a few seconds, your hotness factor will drop quickly! Never act like you know all the answers. Be open to listening to and considering others’ opinions. If you recognize signals of attraction, act confidently and decisively (without being aggressive or arrogant). Don’t be afraid to ask, “Hey, would you like to go out to dinner?” or, “Can I call you sometime?”  Sometimes you’ll read the signals wrong and get rejected. Stay calm, be polite, brush it off, and be just as confident the next time you try with someone else. Fear of failure is not an attractive quality. Hot guys learn from their failures and keep trying!

Being hyper with people has a purpose: to get excited together and to play and work together. The energy of many can create a wonderful thing! You're not a chaotic mess. You have a purpose: fun and energy! Consider being hyper while alone sometimes, too, so that you can try your best in conditioning, running, jogging, or practicing individual skills of a sport like basketball -- dribbling or practicing three point shots at your speed without fighting the big D. Choose a place where being hyper is acceptable; the mall is probably a bad choice whereas a skate park might work fine. Gathering up your friends and going to the old folks home won't be the best use of your time. Aim for places that won't get you shushed or kindly shown the door. Large, open areas are best. Think parks, the beach, fields, or places dedicated to athletics like the basketball court or pool. Don’t try to “stay calm” on the way. Get your friends excited with you.  Hand out the candy; get the others to buy energy drinks and sodas with vitamins and caffeine.  Hyper activity is contagious so you will all “feed” off each other; you will all enjoy it more if you’re all sharing the experience. If someone's not up to snuff, get 'em there! Don't nag or make fun of them, simply invite them to have as much fun as you're having. Nagging or teasing just brings your positive energy (and the energy of the group) down. Release that pent up energy!  Run, jump… just do it!  Being this way can actually become an almost spiritual event (think Native Americans dancing all night to the beat of drums).  The more you do the more amazing you’ll feel.  Dance like nobody’s watching. Why would you dance any other way? Just a friendly reminder: release that pent up energy in legal ways. Having the cops show up on the scene is the worst kind of buzzkill there is. Don’t just quit all of a sudden.  Your body has a huge store of endorphins running through it – if you just quit you’ll experience a “drop” that you will not enjoy.  You warmed up by preparing – cool down...

Being in denial about what you’re feeling will only draw out the healing process. Betrayal is painful, so give yourself permission to mourn however you need to. Curl up in bed for a day or so. Cry your eyes out until you can’t cry anymore. Play darts on a photograph of your ex. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Releasing the emotion you feel in a physical way can actually make you feel better. It’s unacceptable, however, to act out aggressively or hurt someone. Try throwing, breaking, punching, or burning something instead.  There are places that give you a stack of plates to throw against walls, or allow you to build a fire in a barrel for burning the gifts your ex gave you. Try signing up for a boxing or kickboxing class. Physical activity can serve as a release of negative emotions and help you get physically and emotionally stronger. Victims of cheating often have a tendency to see the cheater as the “good guy” while placing the blame on themselves. Don’t do that. Sure, you may have played some role in the downfall of the relationship, but the cheater is responsible for his actions. If you catch yourself blaming yourself, divert the blame where it belongs. You might silently repeat, “He’s the cheater. This is his fault, not mine.” The end of a relationship can result in you reviewing everything that happened in your head over and over again. While some reflection can be fruitful, nonstop thinking about what went wrong can have negative effects on your mood.  Keep yourself busy after the breakup. Hang out with friends, join a club, rearrange the furniture in your home, or start volunteering. Let your friends and family know that you are trying to limit the number of times you refer to your ex. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter may seem like tempting sanctuaries after you break things off with your cheating boyfriend, but logging on and venting isn’t a good idea. Commit to a short detox from your favorite platforms until you’re feeling more levelheaded. When you do log back on, unfollow your ex...

Being in love is about connecting with another person emotionally, caring for their happiness as if it was your own. When you love someone their fate becomes intertwined with yours. You may feel sad when they cry, get angry when they are hurt, and celebrate with their successes.  If you can't wait to share good news with them or hear about their day, love is likely growing.  This does not, however, mean that love is completely selfless. You should feel the same connection coming back to you as well. You do not have to like all of the same things in order to love someone. In many cases, having differences allows your love to grow, as you share and teach each other parts about yourself that the other person never knew. Disliking someone's taste in music, for example, does not mean that you cannot love them. Judgement, anger, or disrespect for each other's interests, however, may prevent love from really growing. When you allow someone to be exactly as they are, without any belief that they aren’t good enough, without any belief that they would be “better” if they were different, you're in love. Loving someone is about accepting them as they are, loving them despite, or even because of, their faults. No one is perfect, but they don't have to be for you to love them.  You may even learn more about yourself with this person, as loving them helps reveal truths about you that you might not have noticed before.  If your love is dependent upon the other person acting and speaking how you want, then your feelings are conditional. We often confuse this with love, but this is just positive thoughts about someone. This is loving what a person says or does, not loving them. This is not just a turn of phrase: being in love actually changes your brain chemistry to "reward" you when they are in your life. If you are constantly thinking about them, missing them when they are gone, and finding ways to stay in contact with each other, love is likely blooming.  This should be different, however, from obsession, when you think of...

Being in love may not literally be like wearing rose tinted glasses, but psychological research suggests it can be beneficial to put your metaphorical rose tinted glasses back on and idealize your relationship and what attracted you to your partner in the first place. Couples who focus on the positive parts of their relationships and characteristics of their partners are happier and less likely to be divorced. Instead of viewing your partner’s lack of knowledge on a subject you’re passionate about as a negative, view this as an opportunity to share your knowledge. Encourage your partner’s interests, and take time to help them learn more. Even if your partner is less intelligent than you are, finding someone who respects and encourages you will lead to more happiness than selecting a partner who is equally intelligent. Research shows that differing levels of intelligence between partners has little impact on their long term happiness, especially compared with factors like trust and respect. We alter the way we think about things on an almost daily basis. If you have high blood pressure, you change your diet and exercise routines. If you can’t sleep at night, you take sleep aids and alter your schedule. When it comes to attraction, people have the mistaken belief they can’t change the way they feel, even if they continually end up in unhappy and unhealthy relationships.   If you repeatedly find yourself attracted to very smart or much less intelligent people, try to find a happy medium. Look at other factors of attraction besides intelligence, and decide what matters to you most. Shift your focus to finding a partner who is happy with or without you. These confident, content individuals will make better partners no matter what their IQ.

Being in nature can improve your mood and will disrupt your a daily routine contributing to your depression. In addition to the mood boosting effects of simply witnessing the beauty of nature, compounds released by plants may chemically alter your mood.  If your partner is depressed, plan outings, like picnics, to get her or him out of the house and into nature. Hiking is a great way to combine the benefits of being in nature and exercise. Appetite changes associated with changes may be affecting both partners' eating habits, as couples often eat together. Establish a nutrient-dense diet that you both can benefit from. Some nutrients may help to improve mood, like B vitamins, so eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Try cooking healthy meals together. This may be a creative activity you'll both enjoy. Physical activity increases endorphins to improve mood and has been shown to improve coping over time. Focus on physical activities you can do together to provide support and motivation for one another.  Consider activities that also include other techniques for improving mood for even greater benefit. For example, playing soccer with high school friends will allow you to exercise, socialize, and spend time having fun outdoors. If highly structured activities are too overwhelming for you or your partner, try going for a walk together. This is an easy way to start increasing physical activity and get you out of the house. This serves as a distraction and quickly improves mood. A person who is depressed is often reluctant to initiate pleasurable activities.  If your partner is depressed, take the lead and plan a couple of fun activities each week. If you are depressed, agree to participate in the activities, even if you aren't very excited about it. Realize your partner put a lot of effort into planning the activity because s/he cares about you.

Being independent builds off of taking control of your life. You'll need to be able to take care of yourself in any way you need to. That can include day-to-day personal maintenance, taking care of your home, going to work on time, being productive, and managing your money wisely.  Independence can take different forms at different ages. The key is to show independence that is appropriate for your age. Independence can also involve age-appropriate responsibilities. As you get older, your responsibilities will change, and you'll need to be able to accomplish what's expected of you. A teenager has dramatically different levels of independence than someone in their 20s or 30s, just as that individual would have different levels of independence than someone in their 50s or 60s. Look to peers you know and respect for a living example of what someone in your age range must do to be independent. If you're struggling with independence, try talking to a life coach or career counselor. You can find these services by searching online or in a phone book. As an adult, you'll need goals of your own creation. Goals help give your life meaning and purpose by giving you something to strive towards, and offering you accomplishments worth celebrating. Implementing your goals and working towards your next great accomplishment requires you to prioritize your life, both personally and professionally. When you make goals for yourself, studies show that S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound) goals are the most likely to succeed. A S.M.A.R.T. goal should address the following components:  Specific - narrow down the scope of your goal. Rather than dealing with broad, generalized terms, focus on a clearly-defined outcome that you hope to achieve. Measurable - decide how you will measure success, both incremental and long-term. You'll need to know that you've achieved your goal at the end, and you'll need a way to track your progress along the way. Attainable - make sure that your goal can feasibly be...
