Before you contact the person to tell him or her that you want to end the relationship, take some time to plan out what to say. Try writing out what you want or need to say ahead of time. There are several different ways that you can start this conversation. Some potential opening lines that you might use include: "I need to talk to you about something important..." "Do you have time to talk about something important? I want to discuss" "I don't know the best way to start, but..." "I'm heartbroken about this, but..." This is probably the least personal way to end the relationship, but it does allow you to write your thoughts out carefully and choose your words intentionally. Ending the relationship via email also gives you an opportunity to speak without interruption or rebuttal. This method also gives the recipient time to reflect on what you've written before they respond. Don't write extensively about what went wrong. Instead, simply say that you need to end the relationship and what it is you expect going forward, be it no communication, limited communication, or a thriving friendship. Ending a relationship over chat is a bit more complicated because you need to make sure that you and the other person are both able to chat at the same time without interruptions. You'll still tell the other person that you are ending the relationship and what you expect going forward. The difference is that chat or direct message facilitates a conversation, which will allow the other person an opportunity to respond to what you're saying. If you think that they won't take your ending the relationship well, you might consider writing an email instead of allowing them to respond to you in a direct message. You may decide that you want to speak to the other person, either on the phone, or over video chat, so that you can have the closest conversation possible without being face-to-face. On the phone or in video chat you'll still need to focus on your decision to end the relationship and your expectations. Don't be accusatory or rude because that's unproductive and will just provoke anger or hurt in them. If you are nervous that they will try to talk you out of ending the relationship, opt to send an email instead of the more personal routes of conversation. When ending a relationship, especially with someone who you love, obtaining closure can be an important step in the healing process. Closure lets you both know that you appreciate your experiences together, but that that it's time for both of you to move forward without one another. Communicate with the person that you love and tell them not only how you're feeling, but that you need to restrict or cut off communication, and that you wish them the best. Sometimes it's not possible to have a conversation that brings you satisfying closure. That's okay. That lack is a closure in and of itself. Move forward and focus on healing yourself.

Summary: Plan how to start the conversation or letter. Send an email. Send a direct message. Speak on the phone or video chat. Get closure.

A hero doesn't just intervene when they see wrong being done. A true hero is there to do good at any time. This might mean taking some extra time out of your day to perform a good deed. You can do anything from paying for the coffee of the person behind you in line at the coffee shop to helping some lost tourists find their way around the city. Other random acts of kindness you can do include: Raking your neighbor's leaves for them. Helping to pay a student's tuition. Buying lunch for the office. Washing a friend's car for them. Buying groceries for someone in need. Taking an elderly neighbor to an appointment. There are many charities and nonprofit organizations across the country that volunteers. Simply donating a few hours each week to help these organizations so very much. Offer to work for a local marathon that is raising money for breast cancer or another cause you feel passionate about. You can also volunteer your time in other ways: Help build houses for low-income families. Join a community garden. Get involved with your neighborhood watch. You don't always have to volunteer in such an official way. You can offer to help a friend move or give up some time to listen when a family member is in need of emotional support. First, think about the things you are good at or the useful skills that you have. You can ask your friends and family what they think you excel at, if you cannot think of anything specific. They will have a good idea about your strengths and how you can best utilize them to help others. Think about how you can use your talents to help others. Perhaps you are a great public speaker, or maybe you have a talent for craft projects or building furniture. Perhaps you are a great listener and can be an empathetic ear for an elderly neighbor. You can also use your professional skills and knowledge to help others. If you are a teacher, you might volunteer some time to help tutor students who are having trouble in school. If you are an artist, you might volunteer at a senior center to help teach senior citizens how to paint or sketch. Some people, such as the disabled or elderly, need help, but don't know how to ask. Become the type of person who isn't just waiting around for opportunities to be a hero, by asking others if there is anything you can do for them. Think about what you had a hard time with when you started your job. Offer to assist new employees with working the copy machine, getting to know certain procedures, or setting up their email. A hero understands that the little things in life can all add up. You can do small gestures like holding open the door for people or offering to take a friend out to lunch. You could give someone a ride to the airport or pay for someone's laundry at the laundromat. Even offering someone kind words can help you grow as a hero. Say thank you to service workers. Tell a friend you appreciate them. Give a friend a hug. Write your teacher a thank you note. Wave to the driver, who stopped to let you cross the road, even if it is at a crosswalk. Send a family member a surprise email or text telling them you love them.

Summary: Perform random acts of kindness. Volunteer your time. Volunteer your talents. Ask someone if they could use some help. Use small gestures.

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