Article: Take the time to sketch out what your narrative will be. It doesn't need to be completely filled in; it just needs to give you an idea of where your story is going. What's going to happen in the story? Why should your reader care about it? Spend some time free writing about what makes your characters unique. You should aim to make your characters as diverse as possible - you can do this by asking yourself a number of questions, like: What does this character look like? What do they like to do in their free time? What are their secret wishes? What motivates them? What is their impact on the story going to be? You won't use every detail you write out, but the details will help you create a more well-rounded character in your story. If the character becomes real to you, he or she will also become real to the reader. Is the story going to be told in third person or first? Does the reader know more than the character? You'll need to make decisions about point of view before you begin, though you can always go back later and change it if you need to do so.

Problem: Article: Try to get some physical exercise every day, even if it's just a walk, or taking 20 minutes to have a dance party. Regular exercise can release endorphins, natural painkillers, which can relax you and regulate your mood. Inactivity can actually create tension and stress, making you more likely to overreact to situations that upset you. Both of these substances can make your adrenal glands increase the production of stress hormones, which makes it easier for you to get upset and harder to remain calm. Try cutting out caffeine and sugar for a few weeks to see if you feel calmer and more relaxed. Then, you can gradually add small amounts of caffeine or sugar, if you like. Even if you do decide to drink caffeine, make sure to consume no more than 400mg per day as an adult or 100mg per day as a teen. Try to eat a healthy snack every 3 to 4 hours. This helps keep your blood sugar constant, which can prevent mood swings and irritability. Although it is very common to use alcohol as a coping strategy for stress, this is not a healthy behavior. If you're the legal age, it is usually okay to enjoy the occasional drink, but you should not use alcohol as "stress relief." This approach puts you at an increased risk of alcohol abuse and alcoholism. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism suggests that males drink no more than 4 drinks per day and no more than 14 drinks per week. Females should drink no more than 3 drinks per day and no more than 7 drinks per week. A single "drink" refers to 12 oz. of regular beer, 8-9 oz. of malt liquor, 5oz. of wine, or 1.5 oz. (a shot) of 80-proof liquor. Don't drink alcohol right before bed. Although it may make you feel drowsy at first, alcohol interferes with REM sleep and can leave you feeling fatigued the next day. Insufficient sleep is a common cause of feeling stressed out and anxious. Studies suggest that most Americans need more sleep than they currently get. Take some steps to make sure the sleep you get is as good as it can be: Get into a pre-sleep routine. Avoid screens, such as the computer or TV, before bed. Have a cup of herbal tea or take a warm bath. Do the same thing each evening before bed. Avoid caffeine and nicotine before bed. These are stimulants and could keep you awake. Try to wake up and go to bed at the same time each day, even on weekends. This will help your body clock stay regular. Make sure that you have things to look forward to, whether it's a vacation, leisure time at home, a favorite TV show, or taking a class that interests you. You should feel as though your life is balanced between what you have to do and what you want to do. Knowing that you're caring for yourself in this way can create a sense of calmness and satisfaction. Both of these are buffers against getting upset and reacting negatively. Manage your time efficiently. A lot of people waste a lot of time during the day. Eliminate distractions so you're productive when at work, school, or focusing on homework. By accomplishing what you have to do more efficiently, you'll have more time to focus on the activities that help you relax. Set boundaries to help you manage your time. If you're an adult, consider not answering any work emails when you're at home. If you're a student, try to finish your homework by a certain time every night. If texting and social media is keeping you from focusing on other things that make you happy, turn off your phone or computer at the same time every night and give yourself a break! Schedule time for fun. Particularly if you have a busy schedule, "me-time" may get pushed off your radar entirely. Try to schedule some relaxation time for yourself, even putting it into your calendar or agenda.
Summary: Exercise to reduce stress. Avoid caffeine and sugar. Do not turn to alcohol to relieve stress. Make sure you get enough sleep. Establish a good balance between work and leisure.

There are many different types of formulas. Which type you choose depends largely on what your doctor recommends. Some come in a ready-to-go liquid form. Others are powders that you must mix with water. Still others are concentrated liquids that you must add water to. In every case, follow the instructions on the packaging. Once you have prepared a formula, you should refrigerate it until use and use it within 24 hours. It is advisable to make a day's batch all at one time. This will reduce the time you need to spend mixing the formula. Wash your hands and any utensils or bottles you use thoroughly. Let bottles dry in the air. Keep your formula cool before use but heat it up prior to use. To do so, place it in a container with warm water for five minutes. Avoid heating formula in the microwave. To coax your premature baby to eat, sit in a calm, quiet, and peaceful environment. Avoid harsh sunlight or artificial lighting. Choose a cushioned, supportive chair in which you too will feel comfortable. Using the instructions you learned at hospital, hold your baby in his correct position and attempt to feed. Help your baby want to feed by giving your child oral stimulation. To do so, use your finger to gently touch your baby's cheeks, mouth, tongue, and gums. Complete this action before and after you feed. After this process, put the bottle in your baby's mouth. Remember that just like in the hospital, feeding can take a longer time with a premature baby. Consider watching a movie (nothing with too loud of sounds) or reading a book. Halfway through the feeding, place the baby upright and over your shoulder. Gently pat her back for one to three minutes. Continue feeding after she has burped. Then at the end of the feeding, burp her again. Premature babies' digestive systems are particularly sensitive. If your baby's stool forms and patterns change for more than two or three days, call your doctor. Your child might need a different formula or you might need to feed more or less often. He also could be developmentally unable to bottle feed regularly. Signs of discomfort include hiccups, coughing, gagging, excessive spit-up, crying, biting, head turning, turning blue, and fanning of the fingers. If your child exhibits these symptoms, stop feeding immediately. Also, consult your doctor. Even though she might not have teeth, you want to protect her gums. After feeding, wipe her gums with a clean, moistened cloth. You also can purchase an infant toothbrush and use it with warm (not hot or too cold) water.
