Problem: Article: If you haven't started crying yet but think you might, try distracting yourself from your sad thoughts. Play a game on your phone or try to joke around with a friend, or try engaging deeply in your math book or listening carefully and fully to what your teacher is saying. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your feelings and like you are about to cry, try creating some distance between yourself and your thoughts. To gain distance, try imagining yourself as an outsider viewing the situation that is making you sad. You can also try referring to yourself in the third person when you think about your situation. If you are sad about something that is not relevant to the present moment (e.g., something that happened in the past or will happen in the future), try focusing on only the present. To be mindful, pay full attention to your bodily sensations, all the information coming in through your senses, and your thoughts about those perceptions and sensations. You may be able to improve your mood by smiling, even if you don't feel like it. This is called the facial feedback hypothesis and it suggests that the relationship between emotions and the face is a two way street: though we typically smile when we feel happy, some evidence suggests that smiling may cause us to feel happier or otherwise help us to be less sad. If you have a pencil handy, try putting it in your mouth and biting it with your teeth. This will raise your cheeks and facilitate your smile. Try to change your mood by thinking about something really funny or something that makes you really happy. You can also try thinking about what is making you sad in a different way. For example, you could try thinking about something hilarious you saw on the internet or something nice that your significant other did for you. To think differently about what is making you sad, consider this example. Say you are sad because you received a bad grade on an exam, and that you are upset because you think it means you are not smart. Try instead thinking about your bad grade as a challenge that you can surmount on the next exam by studying harder. When you can, find a friend or someone you can confide in and tell them what's bothering you. This may help relieve your sadness and help you to avoid any further tears at school.
Summary: Distract yourself. Create distance. Be mindful. Smile. Change your thoughts. Get social support.

Problem: Article: These exercise programs strengthen your core and in turn require significant strength in your chest. Often you are working with your pectoral muscles, the chest muscles under the breast. As those muscles are strengthened, through poses like chaturanga in classical yoga, the breasts will have enhanced size and shape. Grab 5 lb (2.2kg) weights in each hand. Set them aside on your exercise mat as you lower yourself onto your back. You can also use a weight bench for this exercise. Bend your knees and contract your abdominal muscle deeply. Grab a weight in each hand. Raise your hands directly over your shoulders. Your palms should face each other when they are in the air. Lower your arms down slowly until your elbows touch the floor beside your waist. Pause and lift them slowly. Repeat 12 times. Do 3 sets of 12 with 30 second resting periods in between. Switch the position of your hands so that the palms face your feet and repeat the exercise. You can also use a 10 lb. (4.5) weight bar for this version. Stand with your feet hip width apart. Grasp the ends of a hand towel with a hand on each end. Hold your arms out straight in front of you. Contract your abdominal muscles and try to pull the towel in opposite directions with each hand. Pretend you are playing tug of war. Hold the contraction for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat 3 times. Increase the amount of time you contract your muscles every other day. Find a weight bench that you can set at an incline. You can also use a chair that inclines, as long as it gives firm support. Grab 2 5 lb. (2.2kg) weights. Lay back on the incline. With a weight in each hand, extend your upper arms parallel from your shoulders. Your palms should face toward your lower body, rather than toward each other. Lift the weights until they almost touch in front of your chest. Pause and slowly lower them to the original position. Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions. This will tone and strengthen the arms, chest and shoulders while also enhancing the size and appearance of the breasts. Back up to a stable chair. Squat down with your feet slightly out in front of your knees and reach back with your arms to grab the arm rest or seat of the chair. Lower your torso down slowly without going past 90 degrees of elbow bend. Then push yourself back up. Repeat 10 times, then break, and do two more sets of 10. Pushups will help strengthen your pectoral muscles, those muscles under your breasts, which in turn will give the breasts an enhanced firmness. Pushups are also just excellent exercise for overall physical fitness and strength. Lay down on your stomach on an exercise mat. Place your arms right below your shoulders. Press yourself up into a plank position. Your weight should rest on your hands and feet, with a straight line extending between your shoulders and your ankles. If you don't have considerable upper body strength, modify the pushup position so that you are on your knees, in a plank. Lower your body as far as you can by bending your elbows. Stop before you reach the floor. Raise yourself back up. Go slowly, spending 2 to 3 seconds for each movement. Do 2 sets of 10 and increase the number of repetitions you do each week. This a simple exercise that can be done anywhere and anytime. Place both palms of your hands together and press into each other for a count of 5 and then release. Do 10 reps.
Summary: Do yoga or pilates. Do chest presses. Do chest contractions. Do chest flys. Do chair lifts. Do pushups. Do palm pushing.

Problem: Article: Some people have a genetic predisposition for breast cancer. If there is a history of breast cancer in your family, you may be at risk. Look at the history of both sides of your family (mother's and father's), since the genetic predisposition for breast cancer can come from either side. The same genes that are linked to breast cancer are also linked to other kinds of cancer. Make note of any history of ovarian, pancreatic, or high grade prostate cancer in your family. Let your doctor know if there is a history of any of these types of cancer in your family. Mutations to these genes can make you extra susceptible to breast cancer and certain other types of cancer. It is especially important to test for these mutations if there is a history of breast and ovarian cancer in your family. Aside from genetic predisposition, there are other factors that could be related to your personal risk for breast cancer. Talk to your doctor if you have any of the following risk factors: Age: Women over 50 are more likely to develop breast cancer. Dense breasts: Women with breasts that are "dense" or high in connective tissue (as opposed to fatty tissue) have an elevated risk of developing breast cancer. Early menstruation: If you began menstruating at the age of 12 or younger, you may be at slightly higher risk for developing breast cancer. No pregnancy, or pregnancy late in life: If you have never been pregnant, or became pregnant for the first time after the age of 30, you may have a slightly increased risk for breast cancer. A previous history of breast cancer or non-cancerous breast diseases. Some medical procedures and medications can also increase your risk of developing breast cancer. Talk to your physician if you have used any of these medicines or undergone any of these medical procedures: Hormone therapy (e.g. hormone replacement therapy after menopause) or hormonal contraceptives (e.g. birth control pills). Radiation therapy for other cancers of the chest and breasts. The drug diethylstilbestrol (DES), a drug that was sometimes administered to pregnant women between 1940 and 1971.
Summary:
Look at your family history. Get tested for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations. Look at your personal health history. Look at your history of medical treatments and medications.
