Problem: Article: Getting exercise helps to increase healthy blood flow to your scalp and distribute the natural oils your scalp produces. Remember to rinse and condition your hair at least every other day when you exercise to avoid irritating your scalp with dried sweat. Omega-3 fatty acids are great for your hair and skin. Choose foods like nuts, avocados, flaxseeds, and salmon, or take a daily supplement, to ensure you are getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Speak to your doctor before beginning an Omega-3 supplement regimen. Iodine supports scalp healing and hair growth. It can be found in sea vegetables (like kelp) and seafood (like cod and bass), as well as navy beans, potatoes, yogurt, cranberries, and strawberries. Talk to your doctor before taking iodine supplements to avoid consuming too much, which can lead to iodine poisoning. B vitamins, like B6 and B12, help to moisturize your scalp. You can find these vitamins in foods like walnuts, flaxseeds, soba noodles, barley, avocado, chickpeas, kidney beans, raspberries, beets, and mussels, in addition to whole-grain breads and cereals.
Summary: Work out regularly. Consume foods with Omega-3s. Choose iodine-rich foods. Boost your B-vitamin intake.

Problem: Article: The lead, should be facing forward. The follow, should be facing backward, or in the opposite direction of the lead. Wrap your left hand around the follow's right hand, keeping your elbow up at shoulder height. Your right hand should be wrapped in the lead's left hand. Make sure your elbow is up at shoulder height. As the lead, you will always step forward, guiding your partner. Use the lead's steps to lead your partner, starting with your left foot forward and ending with your right foot placed next to your left foot. Move with your knees slightly bent so you rise on your toes as you lift your foot and land softly on the ball of your foot. Try to keep your feet low to the ground as you move from side to side. Allow the lead to guide you. Use the follow's steps, beginning with your right foot back and ending with your left foot placed next to your right foot. Try to land softly and elegantly on the ball of your foot. Move with your feet low to the ground, especially when you perform steps side to side. Count "1" as the lead steps forward and the follow steps backward. Then, count "2" as the lead steps to the side and the follow steps to the side. Finally, count "3" as the lead brings their feet together and the follow brings their feet together. The tempo should be slow, with a rise at each count and a fall between counts. Repeat the steps several times using the 3-count until you have a smooth, confident tempo. You can try performing the waltz to music that has a 3-count tempo. Just make sure the music is not too fast or too slow, as this can throw off your steps.
Summary: Stand facing your partner, shoulder distance away from them. Place your right hand on the follow's left shoulder blade if you are the lead. Put your left hand on the lead's shoulder if you are the follow. Move forward with your left foot if you are the lead. Step backward with your right foot if you are the follow. Perform the waltz to a 3-count tempo.

Problem: Article: " Most people have an idea of things they think others expect of them versus the things they actually want. You may feel you should be more organized, you should go back to college, or you should settle down and get married. But all those shoulds won't get you anywhere if you have no drive to do them. If you do manage to do them, the energy may wane and then you're back to the starting point five or 10 years down the line. Get rid of your shoulds now so you can focus instead on what you want. Most people have trouble seeing which urges are shoulds and which are wants. Take a moment to figure out which is which. What do you actually want? What do you feel like the rest of the world wants you to do? Are you feeling pressure from your parents, your community, society, or peers to do something they feel you should do, but you don't feel passionate about? All people have intangible, abstract fears. Many people are afraid people aren't going to like or respect them, that they're going to be broke, that they won't find a job, have friends, or that they'll end up alone. To get at what you want, erase all of those for just a second. Fear can control you and keep you from what you want. Make a list of all the things you want despite your fears. What would you do if you weren't afraid of what people thought, afraid of money, or afraid of getting hurt? You probably already know what dissatisfies you. Almost everyone is better at complaining than they are fixing it. By identifying the places in your life where you feel dissatisfied, you can begin to strategize how to change or eliminate those things. Make a list of what makes you unhappy. Why are you dissatisfied? What is it that you're craving? What would make things better? Write down the answers to these questions. For example, think about your job. If you hate your job, it may be possible that you don't hate the job, but only hate aspects of it. Those aspects need isolating. What things would you change if you could? How might that change your outlook? Simply identifying dissatisfying elements of your life won't make them better. Once you've made this list, you need to start thinking about if these are things over which you have some control, and what you can do to change them or remove them from your life. If you hate your job, maybe you need to start figuring out how to find a new position. Or, if it's simply certain aspects of your job you don't like, brainstorm ways to improve those things and talk to you boss about implementing some new ideas.
Summary: Separate the "shoulds" from the "wants. Make a list of what you'd do if you lived without fear. Figure out what dissatisfies you.

Problem: Article: Dress appropriately for your teaching environment. Keep your teaching materials and classroom organized. Spend time preparing for each day of teaching. Show respect when talking with your colleagues and administrators. Think about what it means to be a professional teacher and try to live up to that model. It sometimes helps to think about one of your past teachers who you would describe as a true professional. Try to think about how you could in some ways mimic their behaviors in your own classroom and career. Try to teach your students that learning doesn't have to be serious 24/7. If you do something that is funny or goofy, then laugh at yourself. Being a bit self-deprecating will make your students more comfortable with you. If you incorporate humor or jokes into your lesson plans, then your students will likely remember the material better as well. Not every teaching day will go perfectly and some might even fall into the category of disaster. However, it's important to stay positive or your students will pick up and reflect your negative energy. Take a moment to tell yourself, "It's going to be okay," or, "Tomorrow is a new day." Put a smile on your face and keep going. You might even say out loud, "I love teaching because" and list off a few reasons. For example, think about a moment when you saw real improvement in a student's life due to your efforts. If it's been a bad day for the students, too, then you might even say that you want to do a "re-set." Tell them that you want to formally start the day over from that point forward. Communication is key when working with parents. Keep in touch with them via in-person conferences as well as written behavioral reports. Let them know that you are interested in their ideas and perspectives on teaching. You can also solicit their help for events and celebrations in your classroom. Make contact with the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at your school and ask what you can do to help.
Summary:
Be a professional at all times. Laugh and keep your sense of humor. Repeat positive mantras on bad days. Create good relationships with the parents of students.
