If you want to make a larger or smaller cube, just use larger or smaller square sheets of paper. You can find origami paper at most craft stores or online. If you don't have origami paper, you can use regular copy paper that's been cut into squares instead. Start by folding each sheet of paper in half. Then, continue making the folds until you end up with a small folded square. You should have 6 small squares when you're finished. Each of your squares will have 2 end flaps and a center fold. Slide the end flap of 1 piece of folded paper into the center fold of another piece. Then, slide the end flap of a third piece of paper into the other side of the center fold. As you continue adding the other pieces, you'll see the shape of a cube starting to emerge. Continue until you've connected all of the end flaps from each piece of paper, and you'll have a cube! You may need to bend the flaps to fit them into the center fold.

Summary: Start with 6 sheets of 6in 6in (15cm 15cm) origami paper. Repeat all the above steps with the 5 other sheets of paper. Fit the pieces of folded paper together.

While it might be best to let the diarrhea resolve on its own, you may want to slow down the diarrhea using medication. You can take over-the-counter medications like bismuth subsalicylate or a fiber (psyllium) supplement. Adults can take 2.5 to 30g of psyllium a day in divided doses. Bismuth subsalicylate can be used to treat "traveler's diarrhea" and contains mild antibacterial properties. Psyllium is safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. For vomiting associated with food poisoning, gastroenteritis and most other non-serious causes, take 10004000 mg of ginger (in four divided doses throughout the day. For example, take 2501000 mg four times a day. Ginger has been used to treat nausea and vomiting of many different causes including chemotherapy-induced nausea, and the nausea of early pregnancy. Studies have shown ginger to be effective at relieving post-surgical nausea. It inhibits or suppresses certain types of brain and gut receptors that are related to the sense of nausea. Wash fresh ginger and cut off a two-inch piece. Peel the tan colored "skin" or peel to get to the pale ginger. Cut or grate it into small pieces to get a tablespoon. Add the ginger to two cups of boiling water. Cover the pot and boil it for another minute. Turn off the heat and let the ginger tea steep for three to five minutes. Pour into a cup and add honey if you like. Drink four to six cups of ginger tea a day. Use fresh ginger, not ginger ale. Most ginger ales do not contain real ginger and contain high levels of sweetener. You should avoid sweeteners while nauseous because sugar generally makes you feel worse. While more research is needed, some herbs are believed to reduce viral or bacterial infections that cause nausea. If anything, herbal teas may simply let you relax and minimize your sense of nausea. To make herbal teas, add 1 teaspoon of dried powder or leaf and steep it in 1 cup of boiled water. You can add honey and lemon to taste. Use the following: Peppermint Clove Cinnamon Take peppermint or lemon essential oil and place a drop of oil on both of your wrists and temples. Both peppermint and lemon oil have been traditionally used to treat nausea. Studies suggest that these oils reduce nausea by relaxation or by influencing the part of the brain that controls nausea. Make sure you don't have a skin sensitivity. Either put a single drop of oil on your wrist. If you have a sensitivity, you may experience a rash, redness or itching. If so, try the other oil or another method. Only use essential oils, since candies or scents probably don't have real peppermint or lemon oil and are unlikely to have high enough levels of the oil to be helpful. Lie flat on your back and place pillows under your knees and neck for comfort. Put your hands palm down on your stomach below the rib cage. Place the fingers of your hands together so you can feel them separate. This will let you know you are doing the exercise correctly. Take a long, slow deep breath by expanding your belly, breathing through your diaphragm instead of your rib cage. The diaphragm creates suction that pulls more air into your lungs than can be achieved by expanding the rib cage. Research has shown that controlled, deep breathing can help relieve nausea. Other studies have indicated that breathing can help control nausea after surgery.

Summary: Take a diarrhea medication. Take a ginger supplement. Make a ginger tea. Make an herbal tea. Try aromatherapy. Practice controlled breathing.

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.
