Q: If you find yourself caving to others' demands on a regular basis, you may need to learn the art of boundary-setting. Boundaries are consequential to leading a healthy life with reduced stress, and they also are the foundation of healthy relationships. Think about what you want and whether your life circumstances are aligning with that. Listen to your thoughts regarding your relationships or work demands. Do you feel like you have too much responsibility? Do you find that others don't respect your need for personal space? Now, notice your feelings. Do you feel frustrated? Angry? Ignored? Use this information to guide on the types of boundaries you need to set. Identify your limits. Recognize the actions and behaviors of those around you that make you uncomfortable or overwhelmed. Communicate and enforce your limits. Let those around you know when they are violating your personal space or crossing a boundary. For example, if you asked your parents to give you advanced notice before visiting, point this out when they show up unannounced. Say, "Mom? Dad? I like when you all come over to visit, but it would help me out if you could call first just so I have time to prepare. Can you do that for me?" If you must take part in an activity or event that drains you, follow steps to prepare yourself mentally and physically. When you do this, you decrease the odds of you having a stress meltdown, and build better coping mechanisms for difficult situations. For instance, if you are invited to a social gathering, ask if an understanding friend can join you there to keep you calm. Do deep breathing exercises in the days leading up to the event. Visit the location beforehand to feel comfortable with the environment. Introverts may feel stressed out when they have to constantly switch back and forth between dissimilar tasks. You may lose focus and require a great deal of time to return to full productivity. To minimize this issue, batch together similar tasks so that you don't have to adjust to new demands. For example, if the dishes need washing, the mail needs sorting, the bills need paying, and the carpet needs vacuuming, put the paperwork tasks together and the cleaning tasks together. This allows you to boost productivity and increase your focus on the tasks at hand.
A: Set and enforce personal boundaries with others. Prepare in advance for activities that deplete your energy. Practice batching work tasks and personal chores.

Q: Sometimes when the boarding call is announced, many passengers think it's appropriate to jump up and get inline first. Relax and remember that your seat is reserved for you. The plane still needs to board special needs, children and first class passengers before the line even budges. If you are in economy, it's important to exercise patients and wait in-line. You will eventually get seated. To save the time of the airline, other people and yourself, it's important to have your ticket ready to go and not at the bottom of your carry on luggage. It's a good idea to say "thank-you" and respond clearly and warmly if and when the flight attendant welcomes you on board. Try reading their name badge and when they say something like " Good-Morning Mr Smith, Welcome aboard; Your seat is 4 rows down on the left", reply with something like " Thank-you for your help Gloria, I hope to see you during the flight sometime", rather than the common " Thanks" or in some cases nothing at all.
A: Be patient. Have your boarding pass ready. Speak clearly and politely.

Q: This step may look different depending on the type of gum you've selected. If you have chosen a stick of gum, you might fold the piece in half as you pop it into your mouth. With smaller tabs, you might even place two in your mouth at once. If you've chosen a giant gumball, you may opt to bite off half. You may need to chew a bit more vigorously to loosen up a new piece of gum. Use your big teeth in the back of your mouth, called your molars, to chew. Molars are the teeth associated with chewing because of their flatter surfaces. This will ensure that one side of your mouth doesn't get tired from the repetitive chewing motion. Occasionally, draw the gum to the front of your mouth and exercise your biting teeth. This will give your molars a short break. If you are not in a formal setting, you can try blowing bubbles. Enjoy the flavor that you've chosen. As you chew, the flavoring agents in the gum will gradually dissolve and be swallowed, so eventually the gum loses its flavor completely. Urban legend suggests that swallowed gum remains in your stomach for years, but this isn't factual. Gum is passed through your digestive tract into your stool. However, frequently swallowing your gum can lead to constipation and other minor stomach issues, so it isn't recommended. The easiest thing is to just spit it out once you are finished. Because the gum is still sticky, it can make a big mess if you don't discard it properly. It's a good idea to save your gum wrapper so that you can wrap your gum in it when you've finished. If you didn't save the wrapper, just wrap it in a tissue or a scrap of paper.
A:
Place the gum in your mouth. Begin chewing your gum. Move the gum from side to side. Have fun with your gum. Spit your gum out once it has lost its flavor. Wrap your gum in paper.
