Problem: Article: This should be an area clearly visible from the entrance where you can place your shoes that you have taken off. You might want to include a rack to place shoes on, or even just a small mat or rug where you place the shoes. When people enter, they'll see the "shoe area" with you and your family's shoes, they'll see you (and other household members) without shoes on, and hopefully they'll put two and two together. To make sure that the function of the space is understood, leave some of your own shoes in the shoe space so that your guests will see this and know what to do. Put several pairs of shoes in the shoe area. If you create a shoe space without any shoes to occupy it, your guests may not realize that you want them to put their shoes there. To be absolutely certain that your guests understand the function of the shoe space, make a cute sign to hang above it. This will help eliminate any possible confusion. You can include a cute phrase on the sign like, "Leave your worries (and your shoes) at the door." A mudroom is a space in a house (usually near the most used entrance/exit) that holds all the gear people wear outside like coats, scarves, boots, shoes, etc. If you have a clearly designated room/area for these items, it is easy for guests to utilize the space. If your guests have to go through or pass by the mudroom on their way into your home, it will be quite easy to encourage them to use it.
Summary: Create a place for shoes. Leave your own shoes in the shoe area. Put a sign up. Create a mudroom.

Problem: Article: Talking about what is bothering you or causing you stress can help put the problem in perspective. Getting feedback from a friend or loved one can also normalize the issue, making you feel less alone. Be sure to choose the right person to talk to; if your stress comes from a family issue, perhaps talk to a close, trusted friend instead. Simply playing with your dog or cat can elevate levels of serotonin and dopaminenerve chemicals that elevate mood and create feelings of euphoria. Just a few minutes petting your animal can lower your blood pressure and heart rate. If your nerves and stress are causing you anxiety or you are having trouble managing your feelings, try visiting with a counselor to talk about what's bothering you. Check with your health insurance to see what is covered by your health plan.
Summary: Call a friend. Hug a pet. Visit a counselor.

Problem: Article: A bright red bandana around the neck will stand out and is something a pirate might well have worn. If you don't have one, make one! Cut a piece of red fabric in a large square shape. Fold the square into a triangle. Wrap around your neck. Tie the ends at the back of your neck and have the bandana tips pointed downward at the front of your neck. A belt around your shirt or t-shirt is a perfect pirate touch. You can either wear a very wide belt you've found in your own wardrobe or from the thrift store, or you can make a belt from fabric or card. Some pirates wore (or "wear" in the images on Google) a belt that more resembles a sash. If you have a black or red scarf, it can easily be turned into a pirate belt. Eye patches can be purchased from costume stores or online, or you can make your own: Draw the shape of an eye patch on a piece of lightweight card. Cut out the patch. Paint the outer side black. Let dry. Pierce two holes into the top of the patch on either side of it. Thread in the ends of thin elastic and knot in place. Check that the length of elastic is just right for going around your head before cutting and knotting the final hole.
Summary: Wear a bandana around your neck. Add a pirate belt. Rock an eye patch. Wear skulls or gold jewels like thick necklaces and earrings.
