Enjoy the day - it's time for yet another year!

Summary: Open up the shoebox and unwrap your gifts, read your cards, eat that treat, check of all the resolutions completed and count the money from the piggy bank.

Even though the technique between a cartwheel and a side flip is quite different, cartwheels can help you get used to the side flip rotation, as well as spotting the ground and orienting yourself through the sideways rotation. If you can graduate to doing one-handed cartwheels, that's even better. In a number of ways, side flips have the same form as front flips with the leading steps, launch off the ground, and tucked rotation. Though not a requisite, already being comfortable with front flips will make the entire process come more naturally and easily. If you'd feel more comfortable starting with a front flip, you can find more information on learning to front flip at: How to Do a Front Flip Since part of the difficulty of this trick is the mental block associated with fear from landing incorrectly, you can help overcome it by practicing with plenty of mats. Since this trick does require launching off your feet and gaining quite a bit of height, flipping onto gymnastics blocks is also a great way to practice, and they offer even more cushioning than mats. Another great way to help you get the motion down is with the help of a spotter. In addition to possibly giving you tips on how to launch better or tuck more tightly, a spotter can help you practice by allowing you to roll over his or her back. The motion isn't exactly the same, but by leading up in the same manner, tucking in a similar manner, and exiting the tuck with your feet pointing perpendicular to your movement, you're still practicing key aspects of side flips.

Summary: Practice cartwheels. Practice front flips. Practice with lots of mats. Get help from a spotter.

Talk with the minister of your potential congregation about what you will need to do in both the long and short term. You can talk about whether or not a baptism is necessary. Or, if you will need other Christians as sponsors. You can also request that they lay out the timeline of necessary events. For example, in the Catholic faith, you must express your desire to be baptized and take on the label of "Catechumen." You will then begin the process of learning about Catholicism, a period which can last for months. As you are exploring conversion and after you've converted, make sure to stay involved in your local church. Attend sermons and activities. Talk with your minister or pastor on a regular basis. You can also keep track of national and international developments in Christianity via the internet. Almost all Christian denominations embrace the idea of a "learning period" for those persons pursuing conversion and many churches even offer classes aimed at new members. In a class of this type, you would continue to familiarize yourself with the Bible, while also learning more about your church's membership requirements. Your Christian denomination may require that you write down your sins in a book, speak with a minister, or simply contemplate your sins on an everyday basis. This will help to pave your way to salvation through the process of repentance. Again, this will be something that you'll need to do privately. However, you may also be asked to verbally affirm your beliefs and commitment, sometimes in front of the entire congregation. For example, the minister might ask you, "Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the savior?" You would then answer in the affirmative. You may also perform this affirmation as a group alongside other new members. You will need to be partially submerged or touched with holy water as part of a baptism. This reflects you being purified and you will usually become a full-fledged Christian and church member at this point. In the case of Catholicism, you may also be asked to receive the Eucharist. You may receive a Christian name as well. A baptism can be a private event between you and your priest or may take place in front of an audience, such as the entire congregation. After your baptism and statement of faith is complete, your congregation may throw a celebration. Depending on their traditions, this event may involve singing, dancing, or just talking. Make sure to fully participate in these events to continue to demonstrate your commitment to the community. As a new member, make sure to attend as many church-sponsored events as possible. Be aware of the sermon schedule and organize your plans around it, too. Some churches will have moral guidelines as well, such as prohibitions against drinking alcohol. If you have any questions about what constitutes a violation of church rules, ask your minister.

Summary: Understand the exact requirements. Continue to attend church sermons and functions. Take a new members class, if offered. Repent your sins. Develop and affirm your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Get baptized. Participate in all conversion celebrations. Continue to follow all church membership rules.
