You'll also need to make sure that you have the appropriate types of storage containers. If you're preparing any type of meal in advance, you'll need to figure out how you're planning to store it safely. Tupperware containers are a great tool when you're making meals in advance. Most keep foods fresh in the refrigerator and many are also freezer and microwave safe. Mason jars are a more artistic and unique way to store food. The screw-on lids provide an airtight seal. This is great for items like yogurt, oatmeal or cottage cheese. Aluminum foil or plastic wrap can help keep foods fresh in the refrigerator. They're not airtight and can leak so make sure to only use these on solid foods-like an egg sandwich. It's nice to be able to pull out a nutritious breakfast right from the fridge; however, you can't store pre-cooked food for days on end. Choose the best option for your meal storage-refrigerator or freezer. Many breakfasts that you'll make might be for the next morning; however, some recipes allow you to make multiple servings that can last you all week. Only make enough servings to last you for about five breakfasts. If you make more you'll need to freeze it. Only freeze items like egg sandwiches, chia seed puddings, smoothies (blend the frozen smoothie to make smooth again), or oatmeal. Items like yogurt won't freeze well. If you're choosing to store foods in the refrigerator, store them above any raw meat or seafood. All cooked foods should be stored near the top of the refrigerator where liquids or juices from raw foods cannot contaminate them. If you're short on time in the morning, even for a quick reheat in the microwave, consider bringing your breakfast to your office instead. Keep your meal cool during transportation to work. This is especially important if you have a fairly long commute. You do not want your food getting too warm this increases the risk that harmful bacteria will grow. Use an insulated lunch bag to pack your breakfast. Place a freezer pack or frozen water bottle in your lunch bag to keep your breakfast cold prior to getting to your office. If you're bringing a liquid to work like milk for your cereal consider putting the liquid in a thermos to keep it at the appropriate temperature. Only juices, milk, non-dairy milk or smoothies need to be kept cold.

Summary: Get the right type of storage containers. Choose between the refrigerator and freezer. Pack your breakfast safely.

People tend to move away when bullying happens. Fleeing the scene leaves the person being bullied alone, vulnerable, and embarrassed, as they become more visible to onlookers. Instead, move towards the person being bullied and sit, walk, or stand alongside them. If a close friend is being bullied, make arrangements, so you can be with them in situations where bullying typically happens. For example, you can plan to walk with them in-between classes or on the way to school. Even if you don't know the person being bullied, move towards and stand with them. Showing bravery in these situations breaks the "spell" that bullying can cast on bystanders. Many of your peers want to do the right thing but are too afraid. If you take the first step, some will follow. If you sense that you might get hurt, leave and go quickly to get an adult. When bullying happens, people tend to freeze up and wait to see what will happen next. Instead of watching passively, you can determine what happens next and redirect everyone towards something positive. Change the subject or create a diversion and try to include the person being bullied in a positive way. You can say things like, "this is too much drama for a Monday." Or "the bell's about to ring. Let's go." Try to compliment the person being bullied in some way. Engage the person being bullied in conversation. Even if you don't know the person well, you can ask them if they saw a recent movie or have weekend plans. If you're struggling to find something to say and things are heating up, create a diversion. Spill a bottle of water, drop your books, slam a locker, or set off a timer. Diversions break the tension and let everyone reevaluate what to do. Often the best way to diffuse a bullying situation is to help the person being bullied get awayespecially if the bullying has attracted a large audience and things are getting tense. Encourage the person being bullied to leave with you and walk in the direction of an adult. You can say something simple like: "hey, let's get out of here." Asking the person being bullied for help with something is a great strategy. You ask for help with last-minute homework, ask them to come with you on an errand, or even pretend that you lost something and need their help finding it. It can be hard not to take bullying to heart. Tell the person that's being bullied that the problem is not with them. Just reminding them that bullies are the ones who feel insecure can be a real help. Say something like,"You're really strong. The bully is the one who's weak because they need to pick on people to feel good. It's not cool." Tell them that you are free to talk if they feel upset in any way. Encourage them to tell an adult and offer to go with them when they report it.

Summary: Position yourself as close to a person being bullied as possible. Shift the focus away from bullying. Leave with the person being bullied. Reassure the person being bullied that it's not their fault.

You can use soap or body wash paired with warm water to loosen the latex. Massage the area with your hands or a scrubber to help the latex lift from your skin. If you bought a latex kit, it may have come with a bottle of body wash designed to wash away the latex. Regular body wash works just as well. This will clear away any of the smaller pieces that may still be in your hair or on your skin. Pat your body dry with a towel.

Summary: Wash the area with warm, soapy water. Rinse your body in warm water once the latex has been removed.

When you wake up from a nightmare, chances are you will be in somewhat of a panic. Take the following steps quickly to help you break this panic and start to ground yourself: Sit up quickly after awaking from your nightmare. Sit on the edge of the bed, with your feet on the floor. Focus on your surroundings. Start naming the things in your room. Calmly reassure yourself. Tell yourself you are safe and fully awake. Try to sleep again. If you can't after fifteen minutes, do something relaxing until tired. While you can reassure your mind that you are awake and safe, it is also important to reassure your senses and body as well. Ground each sense by taking the following steps: Taste. Try eating something strong, like a mint. Avoid sugar as it will affect sleep. Touch. Touch something with a rough texture or cold temperature like an ice cube. Smell. Keep a comforting and strong smell next to your bed such as coffee or cloves. Sound. Choose a comforting sound or listen to gentle music. Calm breathing can help lower heart rate and reduce any state of panic or stress that a nightmare can have on you. By following the steps of this technique, you can greatly improve the speed at which you recover after a nightmare: Breathe in through your nose, with mouth closed, and hold for five seconds. Exhale slowly. Mentally think of a word such as "relax" or "calm" as you exhale. Hold for five seconds and then inhale again. Practice this breathing throughout the day, before bed, and after any nightmare. Right after you wake up from a nightmare, try not to think about what it was you experienced. Sitting in bed dwelling on the nightmare will only increase anxiety, which will make it difficult to fall back asleep, as well as increase the likelihood of another nightmare. Wait until the morning to analyze and examine your nightmares. Get out of bed and ground yourself immediately. Try making a cup of tea and reading a calming book in low, soothing lighting. Reassure yourself that you are safe, check that the doors and windows of your house are locked. Remind yourself that although frightening, the nightmare is over, and it was only a dream.
Summary: Calm down quickly. Ground your senses. Learn how to breathe calmly. Don't dwell on your nightmares.
