Q: Push your chest out and keep your shoulders back. Relax, but do not slouch forward. Be confident. Consciously hold your shoulders back, and catch yourself when they hunch up around your ears. Let your shoulders pull your chest up, slightly, making room for your lungs to hold more air. Don't force it. Control your posture, but not so much that you are rigid. Keep your shoulders as far back as possible, but don't make yourself uncomfortable. Flatten your belly, but do not flex your abdominal muscles. Be upright, but relaxed. Do not bend forwards or backwards from the waist. Stand up straight so that your shoulders are above your ankles. Gaze straight forward so that your chin is parallel to the floor. Avoid looking up or down when you sing, lest you constrict your vocal chords and limit your range. Try to keep your throat as open and straight as possible do not twist or stretch your neck out of its natural position. Stand with your feet about six inches apart, toes facing forward. Place one foot slightly further forward than the other. Rest on the heels and soles of your feet, and make sure that you are stable. Keep your knees and your elbows slightly bent. Let yourself relax into a comfortable and natural singing position. Many singers let their mouths close slightly as they sing, which can muffle the effect. Less space in your mouth means less sound coming out of your mouth. Open your mouth to lend resonance to your voice! Use the "two finger rule" as a litmus. When you are singing open vowels like "ah" and "oh," try to fit two fingers between your teeth. If you can fit two fingers between your teeth, then your mouth is open wide enough. If you can't fit two fingers: open your mouth wider.
A: Hold yourself upright. Keep your head up. Shift your weight slightly forward. Open your mouth wider when you sing.

Article: Sit in a quiet place and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths by inhaling and exhaling. Let any distractions in your mind dissipate before you begin. Let your thoughts gradually disappear by focusing on your breathing. Focus on the inhale and exhale of your breath and the sensations that it produces in your body. Do you want to reduce stress, increase positive feelings, or decrease depression? Whatever the reason, remind yourself and be clear to yourself why you are using your mantra. Keep your intention positive, and make it short term, as opposed to long term. For example, if it is to reduce stress, you can set your intention by saying, "I will be more relaxed this week." You can also set your intention by saying, "I intend to forgive others, as well as myself," "I intend to be grateful and happy," "I will be open to new ideas," "I will treat others the way that I would like to be treated," or "I intend to help another every day this week." You can say your mantra either out loud, or silently to yourself. Whether you say it out loud or silently, try to recite your mantra with feeling. Also, try to coordinate your mantra with your breathing. For example, coordinate the mantra with your breathing by saying it after each exhale. If you are using the mantra to heal a specific part of the body, place your awareness on that part of your body as you say the mantra. Continue breathing and repeating your mantra for one minute. You can also sign-up for a sound therapy treatment administered by a professional, or someone certified in sound therapy. The treatments can be done either in groups, or one-on-one. Search online for local professionals who offer treatments. Also check the postings and listings at your local library, coffee house, or yoga studio to find professionals that offer sound therapy treatments.

Problem: Article: Low tops look good with a wide range of outfits, so you'll get the most mileage out of them. Their versatility makes them more appropriate than high tops in many situations and settings. You also won't have to deal with your pants bunching up at the ankles when wearing low tops. Go with a pair of classic trainers if you wear jeans and t-shirts often. They also look great with chinos. For something edgier, try a pair of low top skate shoes like Converse or Vans. Wear canvas low tops without socks for a laidback summertime look. High tops are known for creating cool, casual looks with a street-ready flair. Pair white high tops with wide-leg, cropped trousers so that your awesome shoes are fully visible. Throw on a white t-shirt and a rolled-up beanie to create a classically cool vibe. For a sporty vibe, wear a hoodie or light jacket. Avoid jeans with skinny fits and tapered legs with high tops. They will bunch up at the ankle and make your legs look tiny in comparison to the large shoes. Pair white high top sneakers with straight leg jeans for a classic and casual look. Boat shoes are a must-have for summer. Try a white pair of Sperry's if you want a stylish pair of boat shoes with a modern design. For a laidback look, wear chinos and a white t-shirt with your boat shoes. Take it up a notch by swapping the t-shirt for a crisp white button-down. Birkenstock sandals are a great summer shoe with boho flair. You can wear them with denim shorts and a t-shirt for a relaxed look. They work great with swimsuits and wide-brimmed sun hats as pool or beach shoes. Pair them with skinny jeans and a short sleeve button up for a slightly more polished look. They pair particularly well with denim and khaki materials, so try wearing them with a pair of denim shorts or a khaki skirt for a cute and casual look. To spice things up a bit, wear fun accessories like beaded drop earrings, stackable bangles, and a boho necklace. Top it off with a quirky or boho-inspired bag for a great summer look.
Summary: Choose low top over high top white sneakers for versatility. Wear white high top sneakers to create sporty and casual looks. Opt for white boat shoes to create a relaxed summertime look.

Q: Ask a representative at the store if there is a dedicated section for baby-themed items. Peruse the items the store has to offer. Work inside of your theme or color scheme to help narrow your options and keep you from becoming overwhelmed. Select different colors or textures of cardstock to be the base of your invitation. Then, look for any additional items you want to use to decorate it, like stickers, stamps, or ribbon. To make the shopping process easier, outline or sketch a rough drawing of what you would like the invitation to look like. Note what colors you want each piece or layer to be. Then, ask for a representative in the store to help you locate items to match the sketch. Create layers using patterned, textured, and solid colored cardstock. Choose colors and patterns of cardstock that will reflect the theme of the baby shower. Take a decorative piece of cardstock and cut it into a 5 by 7in (13 by 18cm) rectangle. This will make a standard-sized invitation. Layer the decorative cardstock with a matching piece that is a solid color. Make the length and width of the top layer about 121in (1.32.5cm) smaller than the bottom layer. Add some texture to the edging of each piece of the cardstock by trimming it with decorative scissors. Bring the invitation to life by including 1 or 2 personal photos. This is a great alternative to using stock photos or simple clipart images. Use a picture of the most recent sonogram or even pictures from any maternity photoshoots that were done. For example, simply print a copy of the photo you want to use and display it alongside the invitation information on a piece of cardstock.
A:
Visit a craft store to buy cardstock and decorating items for the invitations. Layer different colored cardstock to frame the invitation information. Include copies of photographs to personalize the invitation.
