Summarize the following:
Whether you're meeting someone for business or pleasure, there's no quicker way to ruin someone's impression of you than to be late. Instead, you should try to get wherever you need to be a few minutes early. Not only will this prove to the other person that you're a go-getter, you'll also alleviate stress on yourself. This will ensure you're as clear-headed as can be for the interactions ahead. Using positive, confident body language can demonstrate to everyone around you that you have confidence in yourself and your abilities without ever needing to open your mouth. Demonstrating assertive body language has a bonus effect of actually making you feel more confident as a result, even if you're only faking it at first. Try practicing in the mirror if it doesn't already come naturally to you. It may be tricky at first, but it does come with time. Eye contact is a powerful technique in body language, and for good reason. Making eye contact shows confidence. A firm handshake is crucial, particularly in business settings. As always, solid posture will show everyone that you respect yourself. Considering you're the one who's wanting to make the big impression, it may seem counter-intuitive to quiet down and let the other person take the reins for a while. All the same, people tend to be more impressed by someone who demonstrates a sincere, vivid interest in themselves and what they do. Demonstrate effective listening skills: reiterate what the other person is saying to you, ask questions, and don't interrupt until there's a natural break in the conversation. The art of oration isn't one that can be learned overnight. All the same, knowing how to speak well and confidently can sometimes leave an impression all on its own. No matter whether you're on a date or at a board meeting, speak in such a way where none of your words are rushed. Speak with slightly greater volume than you'd normally be comfortable with. Breaking out of your comfort zone in ways like this will set you apart from the crowd no matter where you are. Don't forget to use the person's name whenever it feels natural. People love hearing someone say their name, and the same can be advised if you're trying to make them remember you.

summary: Be punctual. Use assertive body language. Be a good listener. Speak well.

Summarize the following:
While having little to do with the act of eating per se, it will help your eating progress if you acknowledge and understand the specific reasons why you may be feeling this way. Feeling blue may be caused by a load of things. Likewise, there may be biological factors at work which play into depression. The mere act of contextualizing these feelings and actively working through them will make the act of eating seem all the easier. It's just as important of a psychological step to remember the practical (and necessary) health benefits of eating food. If you see eating as an absolute necessity, you may feel more inclined towards eating. Watching TV while eating is often seen as a bad thing and a cause for why people overeat. You may actually find a benefit to watching TV, as you will be able to eat food without it being taking of your attention. If you're having a hard time eating a lot, you can always start out really small. Instead of seeing it as a chore, try to see eating the food as a sensory experience. Find a food you love to eat, and approach it purely with the intent of judging and appreciating the taste and sensation of it.

summary: Figure out the reasons why you might not want to eat. Try eating in front of the TV. Savour every morsel of food you taste.

Summarize the following:
Sitting too long can actually cause fatigue. Small amounts of exercise can stimulate the body and allow you to feel more energetic throughout the day. If you begin to feel groggy, try doing some light exercise. Try doing a small amount of energy, like going for a brief walk, when your energy begins to dip. Have a regular workout each day. If you always hit the gym after work, you may feel more refreshed when you come home at night. Exposing yourself to sunlight during the day can be incredibly stimulating. If you expose yourself to sunlight for at least 30 minutes a day, you'll feel more energetic. The best time to get sunlight is between 10 AM and 2 PM. Meditation can decrease stress, which tends to deplete energy. Small pockets of meditation throughout the day can help you maintain your energy when it starts to feel depleted. You don't have to dedicate a full 20 minutes to meditating each time you feel stressed. The process can be as simple as closing your eyes for 3 minutes and paying attention to your breathing and physical sensations. This can help redirect your thoughts to the present, eliminating stressful thoughts that drain your energy.
summary: Move throughout the day. Spend time in the sun. Meditate on occasion.
