article: True friends accept you for who you are. When you're with your friends, you should feel comfortable wearing clothes you like, sharing your opinions, and being honest about your interests. Consider if you feel comfortable around your friends or if you feel pressured to be someone you're not. For instance, if you find yourself hiding things from your friends or doing things you don't like doing, you might not be able to be yourself with them. You might not always agree with your friends. However, a good friend will accept that you have differences and not make you feel like you can't express them. A good friend will treat you with kindness. Consider the way they talk to you, their tone of voice, and whether or not they make you feel good about yourself. Make sure that your friends are treating you well. Otherwise, they might not be a good fit for you. It's okay for your friend to point out mistakes you made or to disagree with you. However, they shouldn't be mean about it. For instance, a good friend might say something like, "I've noticed that you've been making bad grades lately. Is something going on?" They shouldn't say, "Wow! Your grades are really tanking. Study much?" Friends care about your thoughts and feelings, so they'll really listen to you. When you're talking, check to see if they're engaged in the conversation. Make sure they're nodding along and seem to understand what you said. This is a sign that they truly care about you and are a good friend. When you're having a conversation, they should be totally focused on you, not their phone or what they want to say. Make sure you're also listening to them when they're speaking. A good friend will lift you up and make you feel happy, while a toxic friend can leave you feeling drained. After you spend time with your friends, consider how you're feeling. If you feel happy and excited to see them again, they're probably good friends. If you feel drained or anxious, they could be a bad match for you. If your friend acts like an energy vampire or draws you into drama, it may be a sign that you should find new friends. Track how you feel after several interactions with your friends to get an overall picture. You may occasionally have good or bad days with them, so consider the pattern of how you feel. You probably won't have everything in common with your friends. However, you should have some overlap in your interests. Make a list of things you have in common with your friends to see if your friendship has a good foundation. For instance, you might both enjoy making art or may both enjoy playing soccer. Similarly, you might share the same drive to help animals or save the environment. It's normal for people to change as they get older. It's possible you used to have things in common with your friends but have grown apart from them. If that's the case, it might be best to find some new friends. A good friend will support you and will always follow through on their promises. Notice if your friend ever breaks promises or lets you down. If so, it might be time to start looking for new friends. For instance, a good friend will take the time to comfort you when you're upset. If they promise to meet you somewhere, you can count on them to show up. If you loan them something, they'll always return it as promised. Keep in mind that everyone has last minute emergencies, so don't assume the worst if your friend occasionally disappoints you.

Go for a brisk walk, toss a football around or take care of a little yard work. Just be careful not to overdo itbeing out for too long can quickly leave you feeling drained. You may not be ready to jump right into your normal routine if you've recently relocated somewhere warmer. Head out in the early part of the day while it's still tolerable and let yourself warm up with the weather. Try dropping your thermostat 1-2 degrees every day for a couple of weeks. This will help make your conditions inside more like the ones outside. With constant exposure to above-average temperatures, your body will have no choice but to adapt. As a general goal, your thermostat should be set no more than about 10 degrees cooler than the temperature outside once you've reached peak acclimation. Your progress will be much slower if you constantly rely on air conditioning to cool yourself off. Before you step outside, drink at least 12 ounces of cold water to make sure you're starting off properly hydrated. Take a few deep breaths to calm your nerves, and get ready to sweat. Sweltering heat is uncomfortable no matter how you look at it. The sooner you make peace with your environment, the better equipped you'll be to deal with it. Be patient. Getting used to any change in temperature just takes time. It only takes about one week for you to start feeling the loss of the physiological changes you worked so hard for. To maintain your acclimated state, you'll need to continue to brave the heat at least every other day. Once it's gone, you'll have to start all over again to get it back. Keep up a regular schedule of outdoor activity or exercise. For best results, aim for at least 2-3 days a week.

Adding exercise to your schedule may take some planning, but it won't be impossible. To get the benefits of the physical activity, schedule 150 minutes of exercise into your week. Adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, or a combination of these. Adolescents should get at least 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity each day. There are so many activities you can do for aerobic exercise. You can join intramural sports teams, go for walks with friends, or hit your college's gym. Make sure to think about whether you are doing moderate or vigorous intensity workouts. Moderate physical activity includes brisk walking at three miles per hour or faster or bicycling slower than 10 miles per hour. You can also play doubles tennis, go ballroom dancing, or do general gardening. Vigorous intensity workouts include race walking, jogging, or running or cycling faster than 10 miles per hour. You can also swim laps, play singles tennis, do aerobic dancing, jump rope, or hike with a heavy backpack or uphill. Many gym classes provide excellent opportunities for vigorous and moderate exercise. Any aerobic activity should be performed for at least 10 minutes at a time to gain brain-boosting benefits. You should also spread it out throughout the week to keep your brain focused and sharp. Committing to an exercise program to help your studies may be difficult at first. Keep in mind the mental and cognitive benefits of the exercise and how it will help improve your school performance. Sit down and list all your commitments, activities, and study hours. Don't forget to list sleep times, meal times, and time for other things, like showering. Look for places you can incorporate exercise. Don't forget to count daily exercise. If you walk 10 or more minutes to class or work, this counts as aerobic physical activity. If you can start walking to class, make that one of your changes. Choose something that you believe you will enjoy and that can easily be placed into your schedule. If you have trouble finding time to workout, consider going out for a 30 minute jog or dancing around your room for half an hour. Breaking up exercises into smaller increments, such as three 10-minute fast-paced walks, can offer brain-boosting benefits if you struggle fitting exercise into your day. Consistent daily workouts, or workouts that coincide with your studying and classes, are more effective than trying to get 150 minutes of physical activity in on the weekend. The consistent physical activity throughout the week will boost your brain during the week, closer to when you study, instead of isolating it on the weekend. If you have class three times a week and study on those days, try to go for at least a 30 minute walk or jog before you go back to your room to study. If you go to school every day for eight hours, spend half an hour to an hour after school lets out doing something physical, then study after you get home. Exercise is great for relieving stress and reducing anxiety. Therefore, try not to make the physical activity a stressful part of your day. Allow yourself the time to take care of yourself. Remember, though you are not studying or working when you exercise, you are helping to boost your overall studying effectiveness. Listen to music while exercising. Numerous studies have linked music to stress relief and the reduction of anxiety. While out for your walk, listen to music that either relaxes you or makes you happy. Exercise with a friend. This can do two things at once: get physical activity into your day while letting you socialize, which can help boost your mood and reduce stress.
