Use a smaller comb meant for facial hair for the most convenience. Keep your mustache dry while you do this so you know the true length of your facial hair. Combing helps straighten your facial hair so you can trim it evenly. Shampoo and condition your facial hair before you trim if you want to make your mustache softer and easier to manage. Just make sure you completely dry your face after. Comb your beard again to straighten your mustache and look for any long hairs that you missed the first time. Use your scissors to trim them back to their desired length. Turn your head to the side and check if any hair sticks out more than the others.

Summary: Comb through your mustache with a fine-toothed comb. Check for any hairs you missed.

Summary: Understand the design and technique. Choose two contrasting fabrics.

Whenever possible, try to spend at least 30 minutes per day outside enjoying the sunlight. Exposure to sunlight triggers the production of Vitamin D, which helps improve your immune system function and strengthen your bones. The sun's rays also increase levels of serotonin in the body, which promotes feelings of well-being and happiness, and helps to regulate your appetite. The accumulated effects of making numerous minor changes will go a long way in helping you become a healthy, active person overall. Avoid the easy way. Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and walk through your golf game instead of driving a cart. Park farther from the door when you are out shopping. This small change will add to the accumulated number of steps you take per day, and it might also free up a parking space for a less agile person who needs it more. Wash your car by hand instead of using the drive-thru. This can be a fun activity when the weather is nice, and hand-washing is much gentler on your paint than the big mechanical brushes. Walk or ride to work. If you live close enough to your place of employment, walking or riding a bicycle to and from work is a great way to stay in shape. Take a lunchtime walk. Taking a long walk on your lunch hour can be an enjoyable way to refresh your mind and your body. Try inviting a friend along! One of the most important elements of any healthy diet is water. Try to drink around eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day, to keep your body hydrated and to avoid potential health problems. Also, water will help you feel full so you will eat less. If you don't like plain water, try adding fruit, herbal tea, or sugar-free flavoring. There are also apps like Waterlogged that will remind you to drink more water! For two weeks, try setting your alarm clock to wake up 30 minutes earlier than your usual time. Having that extra half hour will eliminate a lot of stress caused by rushing around in the morning, and can also make you feel more responsible and empowered. Just twenty minutes per day has been shown help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and generate feelings of happiness and well-being. Simply find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, and sit comfortably with your hands resting, palms-up, gently on your knees. Focus on your breathing, which should be regular and deep, and try to clear your mind. Try candle meditation. If you find that your mind wanders when you try to meditate, you might try lighting a candle, and focusing on the flame. Make use of mantras. Some people find it helps to repeat a word over and over. You can use a traditional Sanskrit mantra, or use any word that has positive associations for you. Practice creative visualization. Another easy technique is to imagine yourself in a peaceful, beautiful location. Imagine all the small details of the setting, and ignore everything in the physical world around you.

Summary: Spend more time outdoors. Make small changes in your daily routine. Drink lots of water. Wake up earlier. Try meditation.

Doing physical activities like walking or running can help you to release any stress or anxiety you may be feeling. This can then help you to avoid emotional eating, as your energy will be focused on burning calories and increasing your endorphin levels. Try to do cardio activity at least once a day for 30 minutes to 1 hour, as this will help you stay healthy mentally and physically. Doing physical activity where you work up a sweat has also been shown to help with depression and insomnia, which can be triggers for emotional eating. Stress can be a big trigger for emotional eating. Rather than let stress overtake you and cause you to overeat, you may want to try a relaxing activity like yoga or Tai Chi. Sign up for a weekly yoga class with a friend, where you can breathe and stretch out any tension or stress you may be feeling. Doing this can help you to maintain a balanced mood and feel less of a need to reach for food as a way to stress release. Another way you can relax is to do self caring actions at home. You can also focus on self care when you feel a food craving come on, such as taking a bath, reading a book, going for a walk, or meditating. Channeling your energy into a healthy, caring act for yourself, rather than emotional eating, will likely make you feel better in the long run. If you decide to talk to a therapist or a counselor about your emotional eating, you should schedule weekly sessions where you reflect on your eating habits for the week and any coping mechanisms shown to you by the therapist. Maintaining constant communication with your therapist as you work through your food issues will allow you to feel supported and safe.
Summary: Go for a walk or a run. Take a weekly yoga class. Do self care at home. Check in with your therapist or counselor on a weekly basis.
