Changing your appearance can give you a boost in confidence and help you out of an appearance rut. It can also be fun! Change your hairstyle. Cut it, part it differently, give it highlights or dye it pink. Give yourself dark smokey eyes or wear bright red lipstick. Go for a free makeover. Make your way to the makeup counter of your local department store and ask for some assistance trying new colors. If you always wear shades of plum, tell the sales associate to break out the peach tones for a completely new look. You'll go home with a fab new take on your face. Picking out a new item of clothing can change your entire wardrobe: a new shirt, skirt, or even a scarf. Clothes that you feel comfortable in are better than clothes that may be the height of "fashion" but which you don't enjoy wearing. Your uncomfortableness with yourself will show. Check that your clothes fit correctly. It's hard to be comfortable when your jeans dig in too tightly at your waist, or your bra leaves marks on your skin. Giving yourself some time alone to do something relaxing can give you a boost in self-esteem and also help you relax, which in turn helps keep up your positivity. Feel pretty all the way down to your feet with an at-home pedicure. Go as wild as you want! Wear a toe ring or two. Paint each nail a different color, use glitter or sample a shade that you're not quite ready to wear on your hands. Give your skin some extra special care. When you pamper yourself, it shows. So give yourself at-home facial for skin-smoothing results. Healthiness is not only considered attractive, but it also means that your mind is healthy, too! It can help with depression and with keeping you from getting sick. It's hard to feel pretty when you've got a cold. Sleep is a huge factor in healthiness. Too little sleep strains the nervous system and can make you more susceptible to depression and illness. If you can't get the recommended 8 to 9 hours each night, make sure to catch a nap during the day. Exercise releases endorphins and serotonin which boost your mood and your body. There are lots of different ways of exercising: yoga, dance, taking a walk or run, aerobics, zumba. They can be a lot of fun. Learn to meditate. Meditation can help with retraining your brain to let go of negative thoughts. It also can help with depression, eating disorders, and stress. Laugh. Grab a friend and reminisce about a funny event you both witnessed, or watch your favorite comedy. Laughter can do things like relieve pain, help you cope with difficult situations, and improve your mood. Soak up some rays. Sunshine's known to be a major mood-booster. In fact, in some Northern European countries where the sun rarely shines during winter, people go for light therapy to fight depression. (Take care when being in the sun, and be sure to wear sunscreen.)

Summary: Change your appearance. Wear clothes, make-up, and accessories that make YOU feel pretty and confident. Pamper yourself. Work to be healthy.

That's bad. If you somehow feel that when you're popular enough and people are re-uploading your content, search on YouTube the name of your videos to see if someone re-uploaded them without your consent. If you found your videos in someone else's channel, warn them. No need for conflict, unless they don't stop doing that then you can report them to YouTube.

Summary: Visualize this scenario, you're popular in the community, everyone likes your videos until someone re-uploads your videos in their channel and calls it their own. Warn the re-uploader.

This will not only be helpful for work or school officials, but may be required by the police should you choose to report the incident to them. Effective documentation should include assessing the nature and prevalence of bullying at school and tracking suspected and confirmed incidents of bullying. Try to be as specific as you can when you're addressing the nature of what took place. Record the dates each event took place as well. Peer mediation is one common strategy for dealing with issues between students. You may be required to start with peer mediation per your school's policy. There are serious disadvantages to peer mediation. Bullying is more than a conflict; it's victimization. During peer mediation the child who is being bullied should understand that the school is doing everything they can to stop it and that no one deserves to be bullied. If you feel intimidated or as if any of the blame is being placed on you during peer mediation, stop the session immediately. For more help in getting authorities within your organization to address bullying, try getting an outside group or the media involved. Contact groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which can offer their help, particularly for discriminatory based bullying. You may also want to contact your local media outlets. They often have a call for action number or email address, where you can outline the problem you've been facing. It's not a guarantee that they'll feature you on their station, but it's a good avenue to try when no one else will listen. If peer mediation has failed or if authorities within your organization aren't taking your complaint seriously, it's time to go to the police. Have your documentation on hand, which outlines the incidents that took place and when they occurred. Call ahead to see who you should speak with and what day/time they are on-duty. For school aged kids who have experienced bullying, help to make sure other kids don't have to go through the same thing by enrolling your school in an anti-bullying program. One such program is PACERs, Champion Against Bullying. Ask someone within your organization, be it a principal, teacher or guidance counselor, to sign up.

Summary: Document incidents of bullying. Try peer mediation. Get outside groups involved. Report it to police. Register your school for an anti-bullying program.

. If you haven't already done so, create a plan for what to do in the event of a recession. This risk management plan should include a set of actions you plan to take in the event that you lose business or customers due to an economic downturn. After all, it will be easier to think of what to do before a recession that in the heat of the moment as your employees are panicking and unsure of what to do. Make sure to create concrete steps to follow and then transmit the plan to other managers or partners so that they can follow it as well. Your first course of action when hit by a recession should be to cut expenses where you can. This will help your business stay in operation while you work out a more permanent solution or until the economy recovers. Look around to reduce overhead costs like utilities, administration, and wasted materials. You can also reduce your inventory levels so that your assets aren't so tied up in product that may go unsold for months. If those don't work, consider: Cutting your advertising spending. Pull out of traditional advertising like television and radio and instead focus on improving your social media presence. Doing so is free, even though it might take more of your time. Downsizing. Your other option to downsize. This can mean either reducing employees or moving to a cheaper location. Your remaining employees may have to work harder, but your business will at least be able to survive. If you do end up letting some employees go, you will need others to step into their roles. This is why it is important to cross-train your employees for various roles within the business. This is best if done before it is needed. You should focus all of your efforts on retaining regular customers and maintaining your relationships with them. Make sure that they know that their business is appreciated. In addition, keep your quality just as high as before, even it you've had to make other cuts around the business. A recession is also a good opportunity to evaluate your customers. You may have those customers who are not profitable to work with. A recession is the perfect time to sever these relationships and seek new ones. Many businesses turn to deals and sales when the recession is hurting them. However, doing so will only make it harder for customers to justify paying your regular prices when the recession is over. In addition, these lower prices can cut into much needed profits. The only exception is that you may want to offer one-time payment extensions or discounts to customers that are also having a hard time. Just be clear to them that you are only extending this service once.
Summary: Develop a risk management plan Reduce expenses. Cross-train your employees. Focus on customers. Don't cut your prices.
