You can meditate any time, anywhere, but for most beginners, it's significantly easier to meditate in a quiet place with no distractions. Try to find somewhere where you can be alone for a few minutes. You may want to set up a special area in your home for meditation. It should have a comfortable place for sitting and should be inspiring to you. You can create an altar or shrine, or simply decorate the area with items that speak to you. Do your best to have good posture while meditating. Sitting up straight is not only good for your spine, but it may also help you stay focused on your meditation. Sitting on a pillow or block may help you keep your spine straight. Beginning a meditation practice does not have to take much time away from your busy schedule. You can start by devoting as little as 10 minutes each day to meditation. Scheduling a regular time to meditate each day may help you commit to it. As you progress, you may find that you want to meditate for longer periods of time, but if you don't, that's okay too. Never feel like you have to meditate for a specific amount of time if that doesn't feel right for you. Some people find it helpful to spend the beginning of their meditation session thinking about a specific intention. This should be something altruistic that will help you stay focused on the good that you are creating with your meditation practice. For example, you may think about how your meditation will help you be present in the current moment and not ruminating on the past or worrying about the future. Journaling about the meditation process is very useful to some people, so you may want to consider trying it. This will allow you to keep track of the different meditation techniques you have tried and how they made you feel. In addition, journaling can also help you work through your feelings, so you may find that it helps you understand why a specific technique made you feel a specific way.

All lawns have an ideal grass height that promotes healthy growth. Depending on climate and geography, your ideal grass height is between 1/4 inch (0.635 cm) and 3 inches (7.62 cm). Talk to a landscaping expert or a professional at your local home and garden retailer to get an understanding of the type of grass you have and how high it should grow. Keep grass a little bit longer when in doubt. This will provide shade to your lawn, depriving potential weeds of sunlight. This will eliminate weed heads before they are allowed to mature or germinate in your lawn. Use a weed whacker or a trimmer on the weeds that grow at the edge of your lawn every time you mow. The cover will keep the ground cool and deprived of sunlight, discouraging the growth of new weeds.

One-sentence summary -- Determine the ideal height of your grass. Mow your lawn as regularly as necessary to keep grass at its ideal height. Spread stones or mulch around your flower beds to prevent weeds from growing.

If you are able to get the stain out this way, you will be using the mildest approach and be able to completely avoid using any chemical products. In a large bucket or basin, add the garment to cup of lemon juice and 1 gallon of boiling water, allow the garment to soak for 1-2 hours then ring the garment out as much as you can. Let the garment dry fully in the sun before wearing it again. As vinegar contains acetic acid, it helps to dissolve the bleach and peel away the damaged fabric. Buy white vinegar from your local store and completely saturate the stain in vinegar. Rinse the garment in cold water once done and then repeat if necessary. Prior to treating the garment with vinegar, rinse the garment in cold water to remove any of the residual bleach. Mixing bleach with vinegar can release toxins. Use limited quantities when using vinegar on cotton garments, as in time, vinegar will ruin cotton fabrics. Rather than trying to remove the stain, another option is to cover the stain. Depending on where the stain is, a cleverly placed patch or your favorite badge could do the trick! You could even do a crochet pattern.

One-sentence summary -- Use lemon juice for the most gentle treatment. Try vinegar as another chemical-free option. Use a patch to cover up the problem.

When you've dated duds in the past, you probably found yourself compromising for what you'd accept from them. At first, it seems perfectly fine to overlook certain things they lacked, or make excuses for lackluster behavior. Stop doing this! If you want a better man, stop making excuses for them. Understand and remember what you really, truly, deeply want, and don't accept less. Note that this doesn't mean you should reject any man who isn't a billionaire with a supermodel face and an 8 pack. It means that you have every right to hold out for a man with a stable job, an active lifestyle, a generous spirit, and a sense of humor. It's OK to be picky. There are millions of men in this world, and you can and will find someone who has everything you're looking for, if they are realistic expectations. If you want a man who spends his time volunteering, you need to get involved with volunteering. If you really want a guy who shares your faith, you need to be attending religious or spiritual events. While falling in love can feel like magic, use logic to set yourself up to find it. Increase your odds of finding a great man by spending time where they do. If you are happily single and satisfied, you don't need a man to complete you. When you don't need a man, you won't settle for just any man who comes along. By staying busy and following your own passions, you'll naturally up your standards. You'll only accept a man into your life that will add to it, not fill some sort of void. Don't be so fiercely independent that you refuse to open yourself up to love. It's important that you can be content and satisfied on your own, but be careful not to completely block yourself off from receiving love.

Decide your dating "non-negotiables," and don't waver. Make yourself available to the best kinds of men. Create your own independent, fulfilling life.
