Summarize the following:
Position a resistance band or your own hand against your forehead, then use your neck to press your head forward against that resistance. Do this 10 times in a row, take a break, then do one more set of 10. Repeat this process to the left, right, and backwards. This is like a sit-up, but just for your neck. Lie flat on the ground and lift your head up so that your chin comes as close to your chest as possible. Hold it for 1-2 seconds, then lower your head again. Repeat this 20 times. Bring your chin towards your chest, then rotate your head as far to the left as possible. Hold it in place for a few seconds, then rotate it as far to the right as possible. Stay there for a few seconds, then lower your head back to the ground. Repeat this 20 times. Hold a dumbbell or free weights of equal weight in your hands with your arms hanging down. Lift your shoulders up towards your ears, hold them for a few seconds, then slowly bring them down. Repeat this 20 times, rest, then do another set of 20. Start with small weights, then gradually increase the weight as you feel your strength increasing. Lie on your back on the ground. Bend your legs and put your feet on the ground, then reach above you to place your hands on the ground above your shoulders, fingers pointing towards you. Then use your arms, legs, and neck to push your body up into a backbend. Keep your head on the ground and rest as much of your weight as you are comfortable with on your neck muscles. Stay there for 5-20 seconds, then rest and repeat. Once you've been working out your neck for several weeks and feel that your strength has increased, you can try taking your hands off the ground during this exercise and supporting yourself entirely with your legs and neck. Don't do this if you have any neck problems or injuries. Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart, and lean forward until you can reach the ground. Use your arms to lower yourself until you can rest your head on the ground. Hold this position, supporting yourself with your legs, arms, and head, for 20 seconds, then rest and repeat. This exercise can also be made more difficult once you've gained some strength by putting your hands behind your back and supporting yourself entirely with your head and legs. Keep in mind that this exercise can cause serious neck injury if it's not done properly. Make sure you're doing the exercise on a padded surface and starting out slow. Gradually work your way up to a higher intensity once you get stronger and more comfortable. A plank bridge is similar to a front bridge, but instead of keeping a triangular shape with your hips pointed towards the ceiling, your body will be parallel with the ground as if you're about to do a push-up. Start by holding yourself up with the balls of your feet, your hands, and your head, and eventually put your hands behind your back to increase the weight on your neck. This exercise can cause serious injury to the neck, so it's best to start out slow. You may also want to talk to your doctor first before attempting this exercise.

summary: Practice moving your head against resistance in each direction. Lie on your back and bring your chin towards your chest. Lie on your back and raise your head, then look to the side. Do dumbbell shrugs with weights. Do a wrestler's bridge to build neck strength. Do a front bridge by starting in a standing position and leaning forward. Do a plank bridge once your neck strength has increased.

Dealing with a complaining co-worker is a frustrating situation. Not only is it awkward, it can also make you less productive. If you regularly cope with complaining colleagues, take steps to handle the situation constructively. Try to be kind. Sometimes people just need to vent. If your co-worker regularly complains of overwork, try saying, "I'm in the same boat. Maybe we could take turns going on caffeine runs for each other." You can also try complimenting the complainer. Try saying, "Wow, you have been putting in a lot of hours. At least it paid off. I heard your presentation was fantastic." This puts a more positive spin on the situation. Remember that complaints are sometimes legitimate. It is possible that the complainer has a real problem. If you can, try to offer your assistance. For example, maybe someone in your office constantly complains about the frigid temperature. If you agree, try suggesting that the two of you talk to your boss about the situation together. Maybe your colleague feels that she is being treated unfairly by your boss. Try saying, "Have you considered talking to HR about the situation?" By offering advice, you are showing that you heard the complaint. You are also demonstrating that the problem can be fixed. Hopefully, the person who is complaining will heed your words. You might find yourself tuning out every time to talk to someone who regularly complains. But try listening. You might find that by asking questions and participating in the conversation, you can make your interactions more positive. Start with a simple question. Try saying, "What do you think you can do to solve the problem?" That puts the responsibility of finding a solution on them, not you. But it also indicates that you are listening. If the person says they don't know what to do, try asking more questions. You could say, "Why don't you spend some time thinking about it? How about we talk again next week if the problem is still happening?" Make an effort to understand the situation. If the person who is complaining says vague things like, "I hate it here", you can try saying, "Why?" This response is non-committal, but will allow you to determine if the complaint is valid. Then you can decide whether to devote more of your attention to the situation. It can be fun to socialize with your co-workers. Maybe you have a group from your office who regularly gets together for happy hour. But if someone who often complains tags along, that can ruin the whole evening. Kindly but firmly voice your opinion. Try saying something like, "I really don't feel like discussing work after hours." You can also try gently taking the person aside. You can say, "I know it's helpful to vent, but maybe we could save the work problems for work, ok?" You can also simply turn to someone else and start a different conversation. Others will likely follow your lead and talk about more pleasant topics. Using "I" statements, explain your point of view. You can say, "I feel stressed when you talk about how unhappy you are at work." You might feel anxious every time a negative co-worker approaches you. Instead of inwardly rolling your eyes, take control of the situation. You can choose how to direct the conversation. End the complaints before they start. When your co-worker approaches, immediately say something positive. For example, you could say, "Hey, Betty! I heard you ran a 5k this weekend. Good job!" By starting the conversation on a positive note, you might be able to head off complaints. If the other person starts to complain, you can end the conversation. Say, "Wow, that sounds frustrating. But I'm on a deadline, so I'm going to have to get back to work right now."

summary: Show empathy. Offer to help. Ask questions. Be honest. Take control of the conversation.

Summarize the following:
This is one way of determining whether or not he weighs on your thoughts when he's not around; it's one thing to make room for someone in your life, but it's another thing to entirely make room for him in your mind. Do you find yourself attracted to him even if he has food in his teeth, or has helmet hair? Or does your attraction wax and wane depending on how well he grooms himself for you? Wanting to compliment him to your friends and include him in your family is a major vote of confidence. On the other hand, if you don't feel secure about a relationship, you may subconsciously find excuses not to introduce or discuss him. Do you include him in family plans, such as inviting him on your family vacation (or even simply assuming that he will accompany your family without needing an invitation)? Do you want to help him get along with his family (or even stick up for him) because it's important that they like you? Do you suggest that he should call your mother if he needs advice on cooking, cleaning, etc.?
summary: See if you naturally remember his birthday, your anniversary, and days that are important to him. Notice if you compliment him when he's not looking his best. Notice if you're excited to include him in your life.
