Q: That is, it's important to look at all the parts together, not just individual pieces. Modern hand readers like to use the whole hand to figure out where a person is in life, and use that to complete the reading. For instance a straight head line and a long life line can indicate that you are levelheaded, which is what makes you so good in times of crisis. Many modern readers don't just read hands. They might also read faces or tarot cards, for instance. Learning other types of readings can help you get a sense of the person as a whole, which in turn, gives you a better chance of helping the person with what they're facing. Many modern hand readers use psychology to assist them in their readings. Because so much of modern palm reading is about what makes up a person and how they can use that in the future, having a working knowledge of psychology can help you understand how a person might move forward with a problem. For instance, if someone is feeling frustrated about a project and showing a ring of Apollo, you might suggest ways that person can open up to creativity. Since the ring of Apollo indicates a creative block, learning new ways to be creative can help the person move forward, a solution that can rely on psychology. Just like psychology, holistic healing techniques can also help you offer better solutions to the people you're reading for. Modern readers often bring in these techniques. Holistic healing means looking at the whole person and offering solutions that work for them. For instance, you may look at how the health can affect a person's mental state. As an example, if the person's mount of Jupiter is low, suggesting that he or she doesn't have great self-esteem, you could suggest a two-part approach that includes mind and body to boost self-esteem. For example, you could suggest an exercise program to help the person get in better shape and build confidence, along with a daily regimen of learning to talk positively to themselves so they build better self-esteem.
A: Read the hand as a whole. Combine palm reading with other types of readings. Don't be afraid to bring in psychology. Think about holistic healing.

Q: All words have connotations, and you want the ones you use in your stage name to relate to the style, culture, and genre you're trying to fit in. People are more likely to be drawn to a name that relates to the genre they are interested in. Cliche or not, there's a reason so many surf rock bands use the word "beach." If you want people to be able to find you online, having a stage name like "Pencil" is going to hinder you. Your stage name should be something that can be put into google just as it is, and comes up with your online presence. And if people can't hear what you're saying when you tell them your name, or they can't spell it after hearing it, that's one more roadblock to being remembered. If you've picked a good stage name that's memorable and stands out, people are going to ask you about it. You want to have more to say other than it sounded good. The best way to do this is to think about choosing a stage name that actually means something to you, at least in some small way. Bono got his stage name from a childhood nickname, "bono vox," which is Latin for "good voice." Slash claims he was called his stage name as a kid because he was always running all around. Try to get as much feedback as you can from friends and people you know about your new stage name. Maybe your name makes a reference that is too obscure, or it isn't as easy to hear when spoken in a crowded bar as you thought. Getting second and third opinions is essential, because your stage name is all about how you want people to see you.
A: Think about the connotations of the words you use. Make sure it's searchable and pronounceable. Choose something that you can at least pretend you have a story for. Test your name out.

Q: It can be hard to maintain the same work hours every day when you work from home, but maintaining regular work hours can help you to keep your work and home life separate. Choose realistic work hours and stick to them. For example, you might decide to work from 8:00am to 4:30pm on Monday through Friday. Don't let your work hours creep into your personal time. When it is time to stop for the day, stop working, shut down your laptop, and step away from your work space. Try to set work hours that work with your personal life. For example, try to avoid working on the weekends if you know that there are things you will want to do. Change into work clothes in the morning and non-work clothes in the evening. Rolling out of bed and going straight to your workspace in your pajamas will make it harder for you to transition into your workday. The same thing goes for wearing your work clothes into the evening. Try getting up about 30 to 60 minutes before you want to start working for the day so that you can get dressed for work. Make sure that you change out of your work clothes when it is time to relax. For example, you can switch to pajamas or your favorite jeans and a t-shirt. When you work at an office, taking a lunch break is necessary and you may even have someone else reminding you to take one. However, when you work from home, it can be hard to remember to take lunch breaks and you may be tempted to work through your lunch or eat at your workspace. Instead, make lunch breaks a mandatory part of your day. Set a time for your lunch break to start and end every day. For example, you might agree to take lunch from 12:00 to 12:30 each day. Ask a family member or significant other to remind you when it is time for your lunch break. If you are worried about forgetting to take a lunch break, then ask one of your friends or family members to come get you when it is time for a break. You may be tempted to do things around your house while you are taking a quick break or making a work phone call, but this can blur the dividing line between work and home. Try to prevent yourself from doing any housework or anything that is not work related while you are on the clock. If you notice a household chore that you want to complete, write it down on a notepad and save it for the end of your work day. Keep in mind that everyone is different. For example, if you find that folding laundry is a soothing way for you to spend a break, then go for it! Finding a simple way to reward yourself for a hard day of work is also important. You can reward yourself with a walk outside, a cup of tea, a chat with a friend, or any other pleasant activity that indicates your work day is over. Consider doing something social at the end of each day. Working from home can be isolating, so it is important for you to find ways to interact with other people. You can do this by talking to your significant other, meeting up with some friends for coffee, or taking an aerobics class after work.
A:
Try to keep set work hours. Dress for work even when you are at home. Take a lunch break. Prevent yourself from doing household tasks. Treat yourself at the end of the day.
