Q: When expressing your feelings to someone else, "I" statements are powerful because they promote connection and do not make the other person feel at fault. Saying something like, "You make me feel __" conjures blame and guilt on behalf of the person you are speaking with. Reframe your statement by saying, "I feel __." "I" statements have three parts, the emotion, the behavior, and the why. When you use the "I" statement, say a compound sentence like this: "I feel angry when you argue with me about my job because it undermines my intelligence." Deciding how to bring up a discussion about your feelings with others can be an intimidating task. If you decide to talk with someone about your feelings, always start with positivity by saying nice things about the person and your relationship. Then bring up how you feel using "I" statements, and be as honest as possible. For example, say something like, "I really enjoy spending time with you. You are so important in my life and I want to connect at a deeper level with you. I am a bit nervous about talking about this, but I want to be open with you. I feel" In a professional setting, start the conversation by being honest, direct, and positive. For example, say something like, "I really appreciate all of the hard work you are doing. Let's talk about how we can help you and the company succeed." Let the conversation be organic and do not get upset or offended by the person's response. Communication is critically important to the expression of feelings. Choose a trusted group of loved-ones to share your feelings with. As you are talking, be as clear as possible by using your vocabulary of feelings and "I" statements. If you are sharing how a situation made you feel, clearly describe the situation and the resulting feelings. Your loved ones will listen and validate your feelings. Loved ones can also provide different perspectives on situations that you might not have considered. They can be a valuable sounding board that can help you work through your feelings. to others when they talk to you. Communication is a two-way street, and you must learn to listen while others speak to communicate effectively. As someone is talking to you, give them your undivided attention (put away your devices!), nonverbally respond by nodding your head, and offer feedback to their statements. Feedback can include asking for clarification, such as, "What I heard you say is that you feel..." or reflecting on the speaker's words by saying something like, "This seems important to you because" Before you react to a situation emotionally, take a deep breath. Deep breathing is scientifically proven to relax you and lower blood pressure. If you breathe before you react, you can clear your head and react responsibly. Practice deep breathing at least three times per week for it to be most effective. As social humans, we tend to match the tone of the situation. If you are with people speaking negatively about others, you might be inclined to join in the negativity. Conversely, if you surround yourself with positivity, you will thrive and feel nurtured. The friends with whom you choose to surround yourself will provide the environment in which you either succeed or do not. If you have a solid group of friends, you will feel more at ease to express your true feelings with them. Choosing the right friends can be a long, trial-and-error process. Choose friends who inspire, support, uplift, and energize you. There is nothing wrong with you if you are struggling to express your feelings. You might need to see someone who is trained to talk about feelings and help you express your own. You might need in-person guidance from a professional to not only express your emotions, but also get at the root of why you cannot express your emotions. Turn to therapists, reputable online websites, call lines, and even religious leaders to talk about your feelings.
A: Use "I" statements. Initiate a conversation about your feelings with others. Communicate to others clearly. Listen Take deep breaths. Surround yourself with trusted and positive people. Seek professional help if you are struggling with expressing your emotion.

Article: It is not desirable to remove all plants from the area, but small underbrush will compete with the ginseng. Ferns in particular create a chemical that can kill nearby plants, so remove them or avoid areas adjacent to those plants. If you want your ginseng to grow in the most wild conditions possible, or if you have a large quantity of seed, you may wish to simply scatter the seed on the selected planting site. Remove the leaf litter from the ground first. Aim to scatter about 6 to 12 seeds per square foot (65 to 120 seeds per square meter). Even most wild-simulated ginseng is planted with a little preparation and a couple standard gardening implements. First, rake leaves off the forest floor to expose the topsoil. Use a hoe to create furrows running up and down the slope. Plant according to needs: Plant the seeds 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) apart if you plan to harvest large, 7+ year old ginseng. This is a typical planting method for wild-simulated ginseng, as the wide spacing reduces the risk of disease spreading. Plant as little as 1 inch apart if you have a large number of seeds and want to harvest sooner. This method is more commonly used for field-cultivated ginseng, since the densely planted ginseng must be carefully watched and treated for disease and pest control. It is not recommended for first time growers. Replace the leaf litter that you raked off, or add a layer of mulch. This keeps the ground moist, which is vital for ginseng. Use 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5cm) of ground cover but no more, since the ginseng sprouts will not be able to push through a thicker layer. You should use 4 inches (10cm) of mulch if you live in an area with cold winters and frequent frosts, but remember to reduce this to lower levels in the spring. Do not use whole oak leaves. These are too tough and large for sprouts to grow through. Shred them first if you have already bought oak leaf mulch. You're not going to need to visit the site much, and the look of the forest can change a great deal over the 7+ years it takes for your plants reach maturity, so make sure you can find them again. The best way to do this is to use a GPS device to determine the exact coordinates of the plot. This way you don't leave any telltale signs that might invite poachers. If you must mark the plot, make sure your markers don't readily draw attention.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Remove small weeds and ferns from the area. Plant large numbers of seeds quickly by scattering them. Plant smaller numbers of seeds more thoroughly. Cover the area with leaves or mulch. Mark the plot discreetly or locate it using a GPS device.

Q: If you can't afford lessons, video tutorials are a great alternative. While they're not as helpful as learning from a teacher, tutorials can teach you basic ballet if you practice several days a week. Look for tutorials for moves you want to try, then follow along carefully. Subscribe to ballet channels that you find helpful. Keep in mind that you'll likely need lessons if you're wanting to become an advanced dancer. However, video tutorials are a great way to start and can help you enjoy ballet as a hobby. Video lessons are available on DVD or streaming sites. These lessons are taught by professional teachers, so they can teach you advanced moves. It won't be the same as working one-on-one with an instructor, but these lessons will help you develop your dancing technique. Look for video workouts online. Watch a preview of the workout before you buy it to see if you can follow the instruction. Pick a video that's at your level. If you're a beginner, look for a step-by-step video to help you learn. Attending classes with an instructor allows you to get feedback on your form so you can make improvements. Additionally, you'll learn ballet faster and safely proceed to more advanced moves. Attending classes will also give you the opportunity to learn choreography and perform in front of an audience. Look for classes in your area by searching online. If you've been practicing at home and can't afford classes, ask the school if they have a scholarship or internship program. You may be able to earn a scholarship if you show talent and dedication, or you might be able to get a class discount if you help out around the studio.

Watch ballet tutorials online using sites like YouTube. Follow along with a video lesson. Take classes in person for personalized instruction.
