article: Being a leader for your friends does not mean bossing them around or being mean. Talking about your friends behind their back and putting people down will eventually cause your group to fall apart. Instead, be respectful, positive and supportive. Compliment your friends ("Dave, your presentation was awesome! How'd you do it?"). Stop trash-talking whenever you hear it ("You know, I don't think that's fair to pick on what Karen's wearing today. She's really been having a hard time at home lately"). The leader of your group is going to be the person who has everyone's contact information, sends out the group texts, and checks in to see how everyone's doing. If you can do this, then your group will be less likely to have members vanish or be left out. Be persistent, but not desperate, if one of your friends seems to be checking out. Send them a message like "Campbell! Everyone misses you! Are you coming out with us Friday?" A leader shows up when friends need them. It also means a lot if you show interest in what your friends care about. For instance: Be there when your friends have recitals, performances, etc. Offer to help out if your friends need help studying, with work, or taking care of something at home. Make cookies or a care package when one of your friends is sick. If one of your friend's family members dies, show up at the funeral. Encourage the rest of your friends to go, too. If one of your friends bombed a test or screwed up at work, have the group take them out to cheer them up. It's natural that groups of friends will shift over time. To keep things from become too clique-ish, always open to new people joining in. And as the leader of your group, you can encourage this. For instance, you might say: "Everyone, this is Dan. He's new, and I was just telling him he should come to the show with us on Saturday." "Carly, why don't you tell your friend Jess to come study with us? She's in Chem, too, right? It'll be fun!"

article: Keep your entire look casual by pairing your crochet top with a pair of denim pants or shorts. Opt for a distressed pair for a more casual, flower child vibe. To dress up your outfit a bit more, choose sleek, darker denim. Jeans are an effortless choice, because they will go with any style or color of crochet top. Wear a loose, bohemian crochet top with distressed jeans with holes and tears. This is an easy, breezy look for the summer. For a less casual option, wear a more structured crochet top with some dark wash, tailored jeans. Embrace the hippie vibe wholeheartedly with this tip. Pair a solid color crochet top with a skirt, shorts, or pants with a vibrant and eye-catching pattern. Mixing crochet with a pattern is a more unexpected choice, and your outfit will certainly make a statement. Wear a white crochet top with a floral or paisley patterned pair of shorts. Complement a retro, tie-dyed skirt with a neutral-colored crochet top. When it comes to creating a great outfit, it's all about balance. If you're styling a small, sexy crochet top, try pairing it with floor-length maxi skirt to balance out your outfit. A great flowy maxi skirt is the ultimate boho piece. By pairing it with a more form-fitting and revealing crochet top, you create a fantastic silhouette and strike the perfect balance between modest and risque. A tiny crochet crop top paired with a miniskirt might expose more skin than you prefer, while a billowy skirt with a loose, flowing crochet top will not create the most flattering silhouette. Wear a cropped crochet top with a high-waisted maxi. You will create a sleek silhouette and expose a bit of skin without overdoing it. You can wear crochet without looking like you're headed to the beach or a music festival. If you want to wear your crochet top in a more professional setting, you certainly can. Again, it is all about balance. Pair your more casual crochet top with a more polished pencil skirt or pair of pants. Create a contrast by putting an unstructured crochet top with tailored bottoms. If you are wearing your crochet top in a work setting, it's best to pair it with a full coverage tank top. To really make your crochet top look more professional, wear a fitted blazer over it. Nothing spices up an outfit like a bit of crochet. To spice up a monochrome outfit, try popping a crochet top over it. If you have a favorite black dress, see what it looks like with a crochet layer. Try white jeans and a white tank top with a colorful crochet top over it. You have limitless options. A crochet top can be the perfect statement piece for a monochrome outfit.

Bear in mind that there are different kinds of yoga, ranging from fairly gentle and less challenging to vigorous and very challenging. Most yoga taught in the United States is a form of hatha yoga, which involves the use of classic poses along with controlled breathing. For beginners, hatha yoga may be a little too difficult unless you find classes tailored to total newbies. Instead, Iyengar yoga (also widely practiced in the U.S.) emphasizes precise physical alignment and makes extensive use of bolsters, blocks or blankets to help you move easily into each pose. Iyengar yoga is great for learning about proper alignment and modifications. Perhaps the most vigorous form of yoga is called ashtanga, as it involves assuming a series of postures called sun salutations in rapid, flowing movements. All the classic and modified poses in yoga challenge multiple muscle groups and joints simultaneously, so none isolate just the shoulders. Having said that, some are more challenging or stretch the shoulders to a greater extent than others. Ask your yoga instructor about the poses best suited to strengthening or stretching the shoulders and then focus on them later at home. Make sure you understand the alignment before trying to replicate postures at home while unsupervised, otherwise injuries might result. There are many yoga poses (almost all with unusual names!), so decide if you want to primarily stretch your shoulder muscles or strengthen them. If stretching is more your desire, then pay attention to where your pain is located, such as if it is in the front, side, back, or top of your shoulder area. Research poses on the internet to become familiar with them before you join a class. Yoga poses that primarily stretch the shoulders include Bow, Camel, Cow Face, Extended Puppy, Gate and High Lunge. Yoga poses that primarily strengthen the shoulder include the Dolphin, Half Frog, Cat, Cobra, Firefly, Handstand, Scale and Side Plank. Your shoulder pain may not only involve your shoulder joint and related muscles. Additionally, your neck and mid-back may also be contributing factors, so don't forget to do some yoga poses tailored for these areas also. For example, the levator scapulae muscles attach your shoulder blades to your upper neck and are a common source of pain due to "stress neck" and habitual postures such as computer work and driving a car. Another example is the rhomboid muscles between your shoulder blades, which are commonly strained by slouching. Yoga postures great for your neck and mid-back include the Warrior, Supported Shoulderstand, Revolved Triangle, Plow and Noose, among others. It's important not to try to attain poses or postures if they increase your shoulder pain. Some muscle ache or discomfort from a good stretch is likely okay, but sharp and shooting pains are never a good sign and an indication you should stop and take a break. Find a way to modify the pose or consult your doctor. Yoga may certainly help with your mild-to-moderate shoulder pain, but it's ability to reduce stress, increase overall muscle flexibility and strength, lower heart rate and blood pressure, and relieve anxiety, depression and insomnia are all proven by studies. As such, yoga is not just a short-term fix for shoulder pain, but rather as a long-term lifestyle commitment to better your health and well-being. Realize that yoga in its full form combines physical poses, breathing exercises, meditation and a distinct philosophy regarding nutrition and lifestyle choices. Remember that practicing yoga should not replace conventional medical care when it comes to musculoskeletal injuries or other health conditions.
