If you have never practiced meditation before, you can search the web for videos or for apps for your smart phone that can guide you through a meditation session. If you choose to use a video to guide you, skim through several videos to see if you enjoy the tempo of the guidance, the length, and the content of the guidance. You don't have to listen to the whole thing before you start, but try to look for a guided meditation for beginners as these will be much shorter and include much more verbal guidance. A full belly can make you sleepy and weigh you down. When meditating, you want to be awake, but relaxed. If you can find a nearly silent place to meditate, this is best. If you wish, you can use music to help you focus in your meditation. However, be sure to use music that is suitable for Chi meditation. If you don't have any such music, you can search sites like YouTube for videos that play the correct music. Simply search for "Chi meditation music" (or try "Qi meditation music"), and you should find suitable music. If you can, sit cross-legged on the floor. If this is not possible for you, sit upright in a chair with your feet planted flat on the floor. Your hands should rest with your palms facing upwards either on each leg or with your left hand cradling your right hand just below your navel. If you choose the latter, have your thumbs gently touching each other. This can be challenging at first, but try not to slouch. Instead, practice sitting with your spine straight. While you should try to keep your spine straight, you should not feel tense. Thus, try to keep a straight, but relaxed position. You can choose to gently close your eyes, or keep your eyes open. Either way, begin by resting your gaze in front of you, not focusing too hard on anything in particular. Notice the way your body feels as it rests on the floor or chair, and take note of the thoughts and emotions you are feeling at this moment. Notice your breathe. Notice the way it feels as you inhale in through the nose (e.g. Is the air cold? Is one nostril more open than the other?) and then notice how it feels as you exhale (e.g. Is the air warmer? Does the air come out slowly or forcefully?). As you breathe in, imagine that you are breathing in good energy. As you breathe out, imagine that you are breathing out toxins and bad energy. With meditation it is best to practice every day if at all possible. This may mean that you have to reduce the time that you meditate, which is OK. It is better to meditate for 10 minutes each day than for 30 or 40 minutes only once per week.

Summary: Search for videos or apps. Avoid eating for at least half an hour before meditating. Find a quiet place to meditate. Find a comfortable, seated position. Rest your hands lightly on your lap. Keep your spine straight. Relax your gaze. Become aware of your physical and emotional feelings. Become aware of your breathing. Practice meditation every single day.

Look for cross shredders, which shred documents horizontally and vertically. Cross-shredding makes documents extra difficult for identity thieves to piece back together. If you want to shred more than just paper, you will have to buy a CD or credit card shredder. You can buy them in any office-supply or big box store, such as Staples or Super Target. Personal information includes: Proper names Specific addresses Social Security Numbers Credit card numbers Bank account numbers Phone numbers Unless you need to claim a payment for a tax deduction, you can discard bills and other invoices that you have already paid. This is especially true for monthly statements for your phone, cable, credit card, utilities, and similar services. You can use canceled checks or electronic receipts (saved as PDFs) as proof of payment. Do this after you have compared the expenses to your monthly credit or debit card statement. Look for any personal information on the receipt, such as your credit card number or address. If it doesn't list any personal information, you can toss the receipt in the recycling bin. If you do see personal information, shred it. There is an exception to this rule. Hold on to receipts for items you have insured, such as a vehicle or an expensive piece of jewelry.

Summary: Shred documents with personal information. Discard expired invoices. Discard receipts.

Ask to use the restroom to avoid being suspicious. Pretend to yawn during class, while cupping your hand over your mouth. Pretend to bite your nails. You may also act like you're getting something out of your teeth. Try a fake sneeze or cough to stay out of trouble. If you have braces, and the teacher sees you move your mouth in a chewing motion you can always say that it was wax. If you think your teacher is suspicious of you having gum, ask to go to the bathroom to fix the wax/bracket/etc. It makes him or her think it was an orthodontic issue, not chewing gum! If the teacher smells your gum and asks about it, hide the gum in your mouth or simply say you had some candy earlier. If they ask what candy, answer with something that smells like your gum. When you throw your gum away, hold your hand up to your face like you are scratching your nose and with your tongue move the gum into the palm of your hand. Always make sure you have a tissue, old wrapper, or piece of paper in your pocket to put the discarded gum into. You can also pretend to blow your nose while discarding the gum. Remember, some teachers know this trick, so avoid doing it too often. After all, they were at school once too! The popular misconception that it will take 7 years to pass through the digestive system is not true. The gum will pass through quite harmlessly without sticking to anything that it should not. However, there's no point in doing so if the teacher has already seen it. Avoid doing this with large globs of gum, as it may become a choking hazard. If your teacher has caught you, own up to your gum chewing. Let them know you'll never do it in their class again. There's no point in enraging them any further by swallowing it or lying about it (which may get you into even worse trouble). Admit defeat, practice, and try again in another class. When asked if you are chewing gum, reply no and state that you were chewing on your tongue. If they don't believe you, open your mouth while hiding the gum and stick out your tongue. Keep in mind that your gum may fall out, or fall down your throat while doing this. If you get caught, bite a little bit off and spit some of your gum in the bin. When walking back to your seat, you'll still have a bit of the gum. Start chewing discreetly when your teacher's back is turned.

Summary: Create a diversion. Discard the gum. Swallow the gum. Admit defeat.
