Good proteins can actually increase alertness, which can make you feel better. Try lean meats such as chicken, fish, and Greek yogurt.

Even though it might feel like a challenge, take the time to keep up your hygiene. Take a shower and brush your teeth everyday. Make sure to keep your hair clean, your nails clipped, and use deodorant.

Problem: Article: Most of the time when we look into a mirror, we see what we are used to seeing and not always what is there. We are more likely to see our reflection and notice the minor things that no one else would and make a big deal about. Also, the way we perceive ourselves is very different from the way other people perceive us. The idea of this is to give you a more accurate physical description of yourself by comparing the way you look with someone else. This is not meant to be a negative comparison, which is something we do often. This is not the comparison this article is talking about. a friend over and make her stand next to you and look at the two of you in the mirror. Check your physical attributes with hers. Is your hair longer, shorter, curlier or straighter? Is your skin paler or darker? Are your eyes large or small? All you have to do is identify your physical attributes. They are yours and yours alone! They are not better or worse than anyone else. They are yours to use. And you have to accept that though you may want someone else's eyes, or nose, they may be wanting yours! You are unique, so remember that. For example, your list might be something like: "Medium length hair, eyes close together, full lips, below average height, normal skin, generally wear dark clothes, no jewelry". Look over the list. Go over this list and tell yourself that this is you. Whatever guy you get has to like you with all of this. Make sure that you are alright with this. No matter how deflated your ego is, you have to accept that you were made this way and are wonderful. Think of all the famous movie and television stars that have less than perfect features. Noses that are too long and too short, heights that are way above or below average, skin that is all kinds of different colors. What makes them beautiful is the fact that they like who they are (and maybe have an expensive makeup artist, but the most beautiful celebrities will look wonderful with or without makeup, and it's because they have confidence). Do not continue until you have understood and accepted that the way you look is perfect...for you.
Summary: Compare yourself to a few friends. Don't look at the girl next to you and think "Her hair is so perfect and mine is such a mess," or "Her skin is flawless and mine is horrible". Call Write what you have observed down: Understand that this is how other people view you, and that is how they will describe you if asked.

As the old saying indicates, it will be more difficult to change the habits and behaviors of an older dog. Let patience and persistence be your allies. There are commercial sprays available that will make your skin or clothes smell and taste unpleasant to your dog. If your dog tends to bite your forearm, for instance, spray your shirt sleeve in that area while playing. You can also search for homemade versions of this deterrent. Beating your dog is never the best way to handle any situation, and in the case of biting only tends to instill fear, aggression, and an invitation for rougher play, all of which promote more biting. Use the following negative association methods in combination with the "yelp and stop" methods. Spray your dog in the mouth with a peppermint breath spray (like Binaca) when she bites. She will like neither the taste nor the sensation of the spray. All dogs are different, and training a puppy or older dog can be a frustrating and seemingly fruitless task. There is no shame in seeking out help from trained and experienced professionals. The ASPCA recommends that you seek out a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB or ACAAB), a Veterinary Behaviorist (Dip ACVB), or a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) with demonstrated experience in dealing with dogs who bite. Train your dog in your home as opposed to sending him away to a training school if possible. Training is most effective when done in the familiar environment in which the trained behavior will be most commonly expected. Even the best-trained dog who has never shown a proclivity for biting can unexpectedly bite you, a family member, or a guest. Pain, sometimes pain of which you may not be aware, can be one cause of unexpected biting behavior. If there are behaviors, such as rough play or head-patting that can trigger a biting response from your dog, inform your family and guests to avoid doing so. Teach those around you to be aware of signs of an impending bite, by your dog or any others. These include ears pinned back, fur standing up, body stiffening, widened eyes with a direct gaze, and showing of teeth that can look like a yawn. Teach those around you how, in the worst case scenario, to respond to a threatening dog: remain calm, be assertive but avoid eye contact, and if attacked, ball up and protect your face, throat, chest, and fingers (by making fists).
