Problem: Article: Declarations of love, whether from you or from her, might be harder to do in a crowded room, so make dinner at home or take her to a secluded spot in the park where you can have a deep conversation about your feelings. This will also put you both at easy and make you both more comfortable with talking honestly and openly. By being blunt and straightforward, you will have the best chance at knowing exactly how your girlfriend feels about you. Your girlfriend may need some encouragement to tell you about her feelings for you, so don't be shy about displaying your emotions. If you feel strongly about her, indicate this to her so that she feels comfortable enough to share how she feels about you.
Summary: Create an intimate, private setting. Be honest and straightforward. Don't be afraid to show emotion.

Problem: Article: Developing a strong sense of self-confidence is the first step towards standing up for yourself. If you don't have any confidence or belief in yourself, how can you expect other people to? It's easy for others to spot when someone is down on their luck and lacking in self-confidence -- which makes them an easy target. If you're confident, people will be less likely to tease you or identify you as weak. Confidence has to come from within, so do whatever it takes to make you feel better about yourself. Learn a new skill, lose some weight, repeat positive affirmations daily -- nothing will change overnight, but your confidence will grow in time. Goals give you a sense of purpose and control over your own destiny, and they help you realize what you truly want. This is an essential part of standing up for yourself and preventing others from walking all over you. Motivate yourself by setting an ambitious but achievable goal over the next few weeks, months or years of your life. It could be anything -- a promotion at work, a top grade in your next college paper, or running a half-marathon -- as long as it's something that gives you a sense of self-worth. When you finally achieve your goals, remember to take a moment to look back on how far you've come and appreciate how much you have achieved. Make a vow that you will never let yourself regress into the unfulfilled person you once were. Your attitude is everything -- it impacts how other people perceive you and even how you see yourself. Your attitude sets the tone of your voice, the quality of your thoughts, and is reflected in your facial expressions and body language. Remember that attitude is infectious. If you're bubbly, happy, and bright about things, you'll encourage those around you to feel good about themselves and the world around them. If you're morose, pessimistic, and down about everything, you'll soon infect others with the same negativity. We naturally prefer to be hanging around the person who makes us feel good about ourselves, and we're more inclined to listen and respond positively to someone who has a good attitude. By the same token, we're more likely to dismiss a person who tries to play the shrinking violet, the victim, or the permanently oppressed. Make the choice to feel and have a positive attitude and you're on your way to standing up for yourself. While you don't need to look like an iron man or iron woman, your appearance does matter and looking fit, strong and healthy will give you greater confidence and help you to stand up for yourself. Choose an activity that you enjoy doing -- whether it's weight training, running, dancing or rock climbing -- and throw yourself into it. Not only will you look and feel better physically, but you will also have a lot of fun and become a more interesting and fulfilled person in the process! You should also consider starting a martial arts or self-defense class. The inner discipline taught will improve your confidence a great deal and the moves you'll learn to defend yourself will double your confidence and allow you to stand up for yourself should you ever find yourself in a physical fight.
Summary: Have confidence. Set goals for yourself. Develop a good attitude. Feel good about yourself physically.

Problem: Article: Almost any person can boost immunity through exercise. However, what exercises and times are best for you may vary depending on your overall health. Schedule an appointment with your doctor to see you are able to do a moderate exercise program to stimulate your immune system. This can ensure you are healthy enough for exercise, especially if you aren't currently exercising. Your doctor can also give you tips on what activities are best for you. Talk to your doctor about your desire to boost immunity with exercise. Let the doctor know about any type of exercise or activity you already do. Ask any questions you may have about your health and ability to do exercise. For example, you could say, "I want to start taking my overall health more seriously, especially boosting my immunity with exercise. I know I have some issues with my heart, but what type of exercise could I do without injuring myself or putting too much stress on my cardiovascular system?" If you are healthy, you should aim to get at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. In general, 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week is enough to help boost your immunity. Keeping an exercise journal or using a smartphone app can help you track your workout time and progress. Incorporate moderate activities such as brisk walking, biking, and swimming. Recognize that activities such as your weekly golf game, playing with your kids, and even mowing the lawn count towards your daily exercise total. Assess your current workout plan. If you are already exercising or getting physical activity every day, you don't need to add any extra time to boost your immunity. Busy schedules can make it difficult to get in a 30-minute chunk of time. You may also be new to exercise and unable to perform 30 consecutive minutes of activity. You can easily get in exercise by breaking it up into manageable amounts of time during the day. Try three 10-minute chunks of activity every day until you can do one consistent 30-minute session. You can also vary each activity to work different parts of your body. For example, you could do a 10-minute jog in the morning, a 10-minute brisk walk at lunch, and then go for a 10-minute bike ride with your kids in the evening. Consider trying vigorous 10-minute bursts of exercise if you would like to add some intensity to your workout. Another great way to boost your immunity is to incorporate strength training into your exercise routine. Lifting weights, yoga, and Pilates are types of resistance training that can promote overall health and stimulate your immune system. Meet with a certified trainer if you are new to weightlifting or resistance training. This person can help you identify the best types of strength-training moves for you. The trainer can also show you how to properly perform the exercises. Consider the following types of strength- or resistance training: weight machines, exercises with your body weight, resistance bands, yoga, Pilates, rock climbing, and swimming with resistance paddles. Moderate exercise is a great way to boost your immunity. But this doesn't mean you should amp up your daily workouts. Prolonged and strenuous bouts of activity, such as running marathons or intense cardio or strength-training at the gym, can actually cause harm. Unless you are already performing long exercise sessions, keep your activity to moderate level and shorter times. Consider decreasing longer sessions to get the full immunity-boosting benefits of exercise. Exercise for under 2 hours a day if possible. This may protect you from decreased immune function.
Summary:
See your doctor. Aim for daily physical activity. Break up exercise into manageable chunks. Perform strength-training twice a week. Avoid long exercise sessions.
