Some medications, especially hormonal medications like birth control, can make you gain multiple cup sizes! If you're on medications like these, talk to your doctor about alternative options. A good non-hormonal birth control option is the copper IUD, which is good for 7-10 years. Remember that other hormonal factors can also increase bust size, like pregnancy and breast feeding. These are temporary and should not be combated. If your are older than 35, and even if you are younger, breast cancer may play a role in large breasts that are disproportionate. If one breast is significantly larger than the other and uneven or you can feel a lump, please get this checked out by a doctor. Talk to your doctor about medical ways that may reduce your breast size. There may be medications or natural remedies that can help, but these will usually be give only after other methods have been tried first. Don't worry about surgery if you're young. You struggle now but with time you will come to love your body and your breasts. Surgery should only be considered if your breasts cause you significant pain and back or neck problems. It is, however, an option and may even be covered by health insurance (depending on the situation). If you do not have outstanding medical causes for large breasts, the most likely solution will be to lose weight. If you are already thin, this should not be considered. If, however, you are overweight, then losing weight will not only significantly reduce your bust size but it will also improve your health and experience of life in general. You'll find advice on how to lose weight in a healthy way in the later sections.

on what you understand by intuition. It's not easily defined; however, it is possible to reach your own understanding of intuition as an inner guidance, a "knowing", or an internal compass. In contrast to fear, intuition has positive connotations in that it helps us make our way through life by drawing upon experience that may be buried deep in our consciousness. Such terms as "gut feeling", "instinct", "hunch", and "just a feeling" are often used to describe the way our intuition influences our actions and decisions. However, it is very important to realize that intuition is more than just responding at an instinctual level; it is instinct plus cognitive consideration. There is no right or wrong answer as to how you define intuition; the best approach is to simply sit down and write out what it means to you. Fear is a negative emotion that expresses itself through physical reactions (such as fight or flight, sweating, feeling an adrenaline rush, etc.). Intuition is a positive set of feelings or guidance that, if heeded, can bring about better situations for us. Fear is an emotion that causes us to want to run away, hide, and not face the oncoming negative happening, whereas intuition is about heeding the possible dangers but having the strength, resilience, and wherewithal to focus our actions and attitude so as to face and deal with the negative occurrence. As such, when you mistake fear for intuition, you are effectively telling yourself that something bad is about to occur but that you are powerless to do anything constructive about it other than worry, fret, or pray, thereby disabling your intuition and your ability to push past the fear. This is an attempt to either sideline intuition or to change its positive effect into a negative one. Another problem with confusing fear and intuition is that instead of living in the present (as intuition does), you are living in a worst possible future (where irrational fear resides). If you're not focusing on the present, then you're not being intuitive. Premonitions of something happening in the future tend to be neutral when sourced from the intuition. They cannot be forced and whether they have a good or bad outcome is not colored by your own inner thinking. Not everyone experiences premonitions and, in fact, those who block the ability through a cynical attitude towards them, generally have very little chance of doing so. However, premonitions differ from fear in that they are not based in your subjective, conscious or unconscious preferences or concerns. Throughout this article you've been given indicators on how to do this. For example, are you concerned with the present or are you worrying about the future? Are you catastrophizing or philosophizing? Here are some key elements of the differences between experiencing intuition versus an irrational fear: A reliable intuition conveys information in neutral, less emotional terms A reliable intuition "feels right" at a gut level A reliable intuition feels compassionate and affirming of yourself and others A reliable intuition gives clear impressions that are seen before they're felt A reliable intuition feels somewhat detached, similar to being in a theater watching a movie An irrational fear conveys information in highly emotional terms An irrational fear is usually repetitive and an irrational viewpoint An irrational fear does not "feel right" at a gut level An irrational fear feels cruel, belittling, or delusional either toward yourself or toward others, perhaps both An irrational fear does not feel centered or "in perspective" An irrational fear reflects past psychological wounds or traumas that have not been healed You need to heed protective fears and transform irrational fears with courage. At times you may foresee real danger, but more frequently, unproductive fears are misinforming you. Therefore, as a general rule, train yourself to question fears tied to low self-esteem; we're all worthy of the extraordinary. For example, it's right to question the fear that you're too emotionally damaged to love; even the severely wounded can open up their hearts again but they need to make the choice to be open and to decide not to continue being over-protective of themselves. True intuitions will never put you down or support destructive attitudes and behavior; of all the signs, this is the most telling.

When first meeting or greeting someone, offer them up a warm smile. Smiling indicates that you are in good spirits and are happy to see them. It helps to establish friendliness from the get-go as the smile is the first impression that people usually make when meeting someone. In some cultures, such as Russia, smiling is not necessary. Instead of just walking by someone you know or ignoring someone you are supposed to be meeting, greet them with a warm 'hello.' You do not need to wait for them to say it to you first; it's okay to be the initiator. For example, "Hello, Mr. Sanderson. It's great to meet you! My name is Emma Payne and I work in cybersecurity." firmly and assertively. When meeting someone, take their hand into your right hand and grasp it firmly, shaking it up and down once. Respect the other person by not squeezing their hand too hard in an attempt to "dominate" them. If you know them well, you might hug instead. There are many different ways people around the world greet each other, and these greetings may not always involve handshaking. Be sure you're aware what's appropriate in the country you're living in. You can go online to find out if you're unsure. When in conversation with someone, look them in the eyes a little over half the time you're speaking. Maintaining eye contact shows that you are paying attention. Staring at them, however, can be perceived as creepy and rude. Break eye contact every so often to avoid staring. Eye contact is usually seen as a sign of respect in Western culture. In some Eastern cultures, it can be seen as a sign of aggression. Don't make eye contact if the other person considers it rude. People with certain conditions such as autism and social anxiety may find eye contact unnerving or distracting. If eye contact is hard for you, you can fake it by looking at someone's nose or chin. (They usually can't tell the difference.) If your conversation partner avoids eye contact, keep in mind that they may be shy or they may have a disability, and let it go.
