Q: You may spend a lot of time indoors, especially in the winter. Open a window in your home to allow fresh, oxygenated air inside. If it's warm enough, open two windows on opposite sides of your home to increase air circulation. Try to open your windows for a few minutes 3 times a day, even in winter. If you live in a cold or polluted area and don't want to open your windows much, then only crack them at times when you're creating moisture. Open the window a bit while cooking dinner or taking a shower to prevent moisture build-up in the air. If you have outdoor allergies, you can buy clean air window screens that filter out birch pollen, grass pollen, and ragweed so that you can make sure that there's enough airflow in your home without giving yourself an allergic reaction. If you have outdoor allergies, also be sure to pay attention to pollen levels to determine when you should open the windows more frequently and when you should open them more sparingly. When you open your doors or windows to let in fresh air, close the doors to your closets, pantries, and other areas that don't lead anywhere. This helps air move throughout your house without getting trapped, bringing fresh, oxygenated air throughout your home. If you don't have them, install an extractor fan over your stove and in your bathroom. These suck moist and bad-smelling air out of your house, helping to improve ventilation and keeping the air in your home fresh. Make sure you clean the fans every few months with warm water and a degreasing solution, especially in the kitchen. Clean them as often as suggested in the user guide that comes with your fan. Go to your local hardware store or shopping center, or shop online. There are numerous air filters on the market that can purify the air in your home and increase your home's oxygen. Choose an air filter that best suits your needs by considered the following: How much money you want to spend though it may be worth it to splurge on quality.

User reviews to get an idea of how well they work and how often they have to be replaced.

Article: Is it to persuade your reader of something? Is it to convey an experience? Is it to present a critical analysis of a text or image? Knowing your goal will help you decide how to navigate your ideas. The best way to start an essay is to get your ideas out in a non-essay format to begin with. Prewriting can take many different forms, and you may want to experiment to find one that helps you the most. Freewriting, a process in which you just write what you are thinking about without worrying about grammar or punctuation or even your central argument, may be a good way to start generating ideas. It could also help you "find" your thesis. A simple list may be all you need. Write a list of the subtopics or specifics you want to include in the essay. A mind map may be a helpful prewriting guide for visual learners. The center of the mind map contains your main argument, or thesis, and other ideas branch off in all directions. As you write, think about what you might need if you were reading the essay. If it's a history essay, what context would you need about your topic? If it's a narrative essay, what information would you need to feel as though you had experienced the event? One of the biggest causes of writer's block is striving for perfection before you've written a word. Don't censor yourself as you prewrite. Try to avoid negative thoughts such as "This doesn't make any sense" or "I can't express what I want to say." Just write everything down! If you have used one of the prewriting methods listed above, reorganize the content and add detail by creating an outline. A traditional outline is a great format for getting out ideas in detail and organizing your entire essay. Begin each section of your outline with the main point. Indicate each section with a roman numeral (For example, I. Puppies are cute. II. Puppies are fun to play with.) Provide at least two sub-points for your main point. Indicate each sub-point with a capital letter (For example, A. Puppies look cute, B. Puppies act cute.) Provide at least two details for each sub-point. Indicate your details with a number (For example, A- 1. Puppies have sweet faces, 2. Puppies are small, and little things are usually cute. B- 1. Puppies play and roll around all the time, making people laugh, 2. Puppies are very affectionate and lick their owners to show love.) Each level of detail should be indented further to the right than the level before. Be sure that the organization makes sense, and re-organize or switch sections around if you need to. Be sure that each section has a similar amount of detail, and add detail to any sections that need to be developed.

Q: Your self-worth isn't based on what other people think of you or the approval of others. It comes from you and nobody else. Surround yourself with positive people and recognize when you feel low about yourself. Listen to how you talk to yourself (like calling yourself unlikeable or a failure) and stop beating yourself up for your mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and treat yourself the way you would treat your best friend. Be kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Note if you have people pleasing tendencies. This is often a sign of low self-esteem. Neglecting your needs can be a sign of a lack of self-love. Looking after yourself and taking care of your body isn't selfish. If you tend to neglect taking care of yourself to take care of others, carve out some time each day for your health. Eat healthy meals, exercise regularly, and do things that make your body feel good. Above all, make sure you get enough sleep each night and feel rested each day. Aim to get 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep each night. When you take care of yourself, you're better able to help others. Taking good care of yourself will help you feel better and help you cope with stress. Spend time having fun with friends and family. Treat yourself with a little pampering now and then: get a massage, go to a spa, and do something that relaxes you. Do activities that you enjoy. Listen to music, journal, volunteer, or take a daily walk. The only approval you need is your own. No matter how hard you try, some people just cannot be pleased. You can't change what people think or feel to make them like you or approve of you. It's up to other people to make those decisions. If you're trying to win the approval of a friend group or you want your grandmother to see what a good person you are, you may not be able to do this. Struggling with people pleasing can be difficult. If you've tried to change things yet it's stayed the same or only gotten worse, it might be time to see a therapist. A therapist can help you enact new behaviors and stand up for yourself. Find a therapist by contacting your insurance provider or a local mental health clinic. You can also find a therapist by getting a recommendation from a friend or physician.
A:
Build your self-esteem. Practice healthy habits. Give yourself some care. Recognize that you cannot please everybody. Get professional help.
