Even though you were not in a relationship with this person, in your mind, it may feel like you "lost" someone. Allow yourself time and space to grieve properly, then it will be easier to move on. Having a crush is like having a one-sided imaginary relationship. In your mind, you develop an attachment to another person that is not reciprocated. You will need time and space to break that attachment. Seek out the company of people who value you, like your friends and family. It's okay to cry or talk your problems through with them, especially at first, but try to have some fun with your loved ones too. A day out with your pals or a visit with extended family can do wonders for your mood and self-esteem. Sit down with pen and paper, and spend a few minutes brainstorming all the reasons someone would be lucky to be with you. Include overall positive traits like kindness, as well as little quirks like always remembering someone's favorite foods. Save your list so you can look at it when you feel down about yourself. Nobody's perfect, and your previously rosy view of your crush might have hidden their bad qualities. Now that you have a bit more distance from them, think of everything that bothers you about your crush, from their weird laugh to their inability to remember your name. You'll be feeling less love-struck in no time. Channel your feelings into your writing, drawing, music, or any other kind of art you like to make. You can show other people your finished work, or keep it private it's up to you. Your heart and ego are probably feeling a little bruised, so be gentle with yourself as you recover. Cut yourself a bit of slack at school or work. Instead of burying your sadness with endless movie-and-takeout sessions, do your best to eat well and get some exercise, and treat yourself to things that make you feel good about yourself. For instance, you could spend an afternoon at your favorite coffee shop or get a new haircut that you love.

Summary: Grieve the loss of the potential relationship. Find support. Make a list of your good qualities. Think about your crush's negative traits. Express yourself creatively. Practice good self-care.

Decide what motivates you, makes you stand out from the crowd, and defines you as a fitness model. For instance, perhaps you've built your physique after having several children, or overcame a struggle through fitness. Your day job could help define your brand, too. Fitness magazines often use yoga instructors or personal trainers instead of standard fashion models. An instructor or trainer is more likely to execute a technique precisely while looking good for the camera. Once you've come up with your brand, you'll know which type of physique you need. To focus on competitions, for example, you'll need a more built, defined physique than mainstream magazine work. Knowing how to pose properly is just as important as your appearance, so it's a good idea to hire a modeling coach or take a modeling class. You could also look online and scour fitness magazines to learn how models pose. For example, you can watch videos of poses required by the National Gym Association. You can also search for images online or look for videos on YouTube. Practice different poses in front of the mirror to figure out what works best for your body. Set up Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat profiles and update them daily. Engage your followers by tracking your fitness journey, giving workout and meal prep tips, and sharing stories about what motivates you. Follow people in the industry, from models to photographers, to build a professional network and, hopefully, get discovered by a scout or sponsor. When you're just starting out, creating a portfolio can be as simple as having a friend take snapshots of you in good natural lighting. A beginner's portfolio should include 6 to 12 shots, and try to get as close to professional quality as possible. Once you start booking gigs, include published shots in your portfolio. You don't have to start assembling your professional portfolio until after signing with an agent and booking gigs. However, you will need up to date photographs of yourself to send to agencies and magazines. Fitness models will need to include body shots. Women should wear a sports bra and shorts, and men should wear only shorts.

Summary: Figure out your brand. Learn how to pose. Get active on social media. Create a portfolio.

You can often tell when a headlight blows out while you're driving, but confirm which bulb has actually blown out by leaving your headlights on and getting out of the vehicle to check. Then get back in your vehicle and turn on your high beams. Some vehicles use a single bulb for both high and low beams while others do not. If the high beam on the same side is also out, it may be one bulb. You do not need to purchase specific bulbs for each side, but identifying which is the blown out bulb will help you to replace it without having to start the vehicle again. If neither the low or high beams work on the same side, there could also be an electrical issue preventing the bulbs from getting power. It's important that you get the correct bulb for your year, make and model vehicle. Try asking the clerk at your local auto parts store to look it up in their system, or try checking the auto maker's website for the code indicating which headlight to use. Headlight codes are usually comprised of letters and numbers like H11B or D3S. You can find the proper code for your vehicle at websites such as www.lightbulbs4cars.com as well. Swapping a low beam bulb can require varying amounts of work. While some cars may require no tools at all, others may require specialized tools to help remove portions of the trim under the hood, or even the bumper and grill. Refer to the service manual for your specific vehicle for a comprehensive list of tools required for the job. Most vehicles require only a screw driver or nothing at all to gain access to the headlight housing. After referring to the service manual for your vehicle, visually inspect the area around the headlight in yours to ensure it looks the same as it does in the manual. If you purchased your vehicle used, flat head screws may have been replaced with Philips head screws or other components may have been swapped out during repairs by the previous owner. Be sure you remember which side of the car has a blown out low beam bulb before disconnecting the battery. To disconnect it, use a hand or socket wrench of the appropriate size to loosen the nut holding the ground cable onto the negative terminal of the battery. You don't need to remove the nut, just loosen it enough to slide the cable off of the terminal, then tuck the cable to the side of the battery. Tucking the cable will prevent it from popping up and coming into contact with the negative terminal of the battery. You will not need to disconnect the positive terminal.

Summary: Identify a blown out bulb. Purchase a replacement bulb. Gather the necessary tools. Disconnect the battery.
