Problem: Article: The first exercise to begin with when attempting to improve your balance is the weight shift. This is exactly what it sounds like - shifting your weight from one foot to the other. Stand with your feet one hip width apart. Try to distribute your weight evenly over both feet. Now, shift your weight so that you are balancing on your right foot only and lift your left foot just slightly off the floor. Hold this position - balancing on one foot - for as long as you can while remaining steady. Aim to reach 30 seconds. Lower your left leg and stand on both feet again. Now repeat the exercise, this time balancing on your left foot. Repeat 3 or 4 times on each leg, and practice the exercise everyday until you can easily balance for 30 seconds on each leg. This exercise is the natural progression from the weight shifting exercise. It is performed in the exact same way, except this time: When you balance on your right foot, lift your left leg and bend it backwards at the knee. Try to hold for 30 seconds, before repeating on the other leg. If you want to make this exercise more challenging, consider balancing on a pillow or thick rug - this provides more of an unstable surface and makes balancing more difficult. For this exercise, you will need a single dumbbell - the weight depends on your own personal preference, but somewhere between 5 and 15 pounds is good for starting off. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold the dumbbell in your left hand at waist level, with the palm facing upwards. Shift your weight onto your left foot and lift your right foot off the ground, bending your leg forwards from the knee. Perform a set of 5 - 15 bicep curls, depending on how long you can hold your balance for. Repeat with the opposite arm and leg. This exercise is similar to the previous one and will also require the use of a dumbbell to perform. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your weight evenly distributed. Hold the dumbbell in your left hand. Lift the dumbbell upwards toward the ceiling, until your forearm is perpendicular to the floor. Now lift your right foot off the ground and bend your knee backwards. Try to hold this position for 30 seconds without losing your balance. Repeat holding the dumbbell in your right hand and balancing on your left leg. This exercise tests your ability to walk in a straight line without wobbling or losing your balance. If practiced on a daily basis, it can help with your coordination and allow you to improve your balance. Find a straight line on the ground. It could be the crack between the tiles in your kitchen, or a painted line in a children's playground. You could even make your own using a length of sticky tape. Now try to walk along the line, one front in front of the other, without falling sideways. The first couple of times you can extend your arms out to the sides (like airplane wings) to help you balance. Next try doing it it with your arms pinned to your sides. And once you've mastered that, try walking backwards. Finally, try walking along the line with your eyes closed - tricky, but not impossible!
Summary: Try weight shifts. Try leg lifts. Try one-legged bicep curls. Try one-legged shoulder presses. Walk the line.

Problem: Article: If someone has repeatedly asked you out and you have repeatedly declined, say something like, "I've already told you I'm not interested in going out. It makes me uncomfortable that you keep asking me." Chances are this will stop the person from asking you out againperhaps they didn't realize their advances were making you uncomfortable to begin with. If someone tries to argue with you or convince you that you should go out with them after you've already expressed you do not want to, it is okay to say something like, "I'm just not interested," and walk away or stop responding to emails or texts. You could even say something like, "I'm not interested in going out with you, and I feel like you aren't listening to me when I say so. Please don't contact me again." If you feel like you owe someone a date because they are nice or did something for you, keep in mind that you get to decide who you spend time with. If your gut is telling you it's not a good fit, listen to that. Trust your instincts and remember that you don't need to give anyone an excuse for why you don't want to go on a date with them if you don't want tosimply not feeling it is reason enough. If you're in a conversation with somebody who is making you feel uncomfortable and isn't taking your cues that you don't want to go out with them, it may be time to make up that fake significant other. Say something like, "I'm actually involved with someone else." You could also say something like, "I'm traveling a lot for work lately and don't have the time or energy to date anyone right now." While it isn't ideal to lie, if you feel like someone isn't going to take you at your word that you're not interested, it may be the quickest way to end a conversation. If someone won't take "no" for an answer and persistently asks you out after you've expressed that they're making you uncomfortable, tell somebody and consider filing an official complaint with the police. The police may not be able to do anything, but if you make a record and the person continues to harass you, you could end up being able to get a restraining order against them. If anything, making the report will hopefully communicate to that person that their actions are inappropriate. If you're a teen, make sure to tell your parents or a trusted adult about the harassment. They may be able to intervene on your behalf or help you make an official report with the police department. If someone is harassing you online or via text, take screenshots of those messages so you can use them as evidence of the harassment.
Summary: Use direct language with someone who won't take "no" for an answer. End the conversation with someone who tries to argue with you. Remember that you are not obligated to spend time with anybody. Give a fake excuse if you feel uncomfortable. Report harassment to the officials.

Problem: Article: You can find necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that spell out "love" and will let your mom know you love her. You can also make your own with lettered beads, or you can use wire to write it. Try looking through your music to find songs you think she'll love. Include some classics and some contemporary music, too. Add it to her phone or MP3 player, or burn it to a CD if she's old fashioned. It shows you pay attention and will give her a pick-me-up. You can knit or crochet one. If you can't knit or crochet, try a fleece scarf. Simply cut it in the shape you want. Cut strips on the end for fringe, tying knots in each piece. Sew a heart on it to show her you care (or glue one on with fabric glue).
Summary:
Find "love" jewelry. Make a playlist for her. Buy her favorite candy. Make her a scarf or a hat.
