To gain citizenship through this method, you need to have one parent who is or was a New Zealand citizen. In other words, if one of your parents moved out of New Zealand and you were born elsewhere, you are eligible for this type of citizenship. If you were born in New Zealand but have lived elsewhere, you may already be a citizen by birth. The citizenship office can tell you more, so contact them to find out about the status of your citizenship. You can also gain citizenship this way if you were adopted from another country by parents who were New Zealand citizens. However, you will need to provide more documentation with your application, including your adoption documents.

summary: Have one parent who is a New Zealand citizen. Check for citizenship if you were born in the country. Gain citizenship by adoption.

Feeling comfortable around others means feeling comfortable with yourself, too. If you feel insecure in who you are, other people will pick up on that in social interactions. Find activities that boost your self-confidence or allow you to develop self-confidence, and know that you can transfer those feelings to your social interactions. Maybe you're an excellent water skier, ballet dancer, or model car builder. If you feel anxious or uncomfortable, tap into the feelings of confidence that other activities give you to help put yourself at ease. If you find yourself lost in negative thoughts ("I'll be so awkward" or "I'm not going to enjoy myself") notice that you're engaging a negative thought, then provide a counterpoint. You can say, "I may really enjoy myself, and I give myself permission to have a good time" or "I can work on feeling awkward by practicing new skills." Don't talk yourself out of going to social events just because you feel uncomfortable. Anytime you are on the fence about going, use positive self-talk to encourage you to go. Think of it as an adventure to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Remember that you're practicing social ''skills'', not social talents. Give yourself time to adjust to more positive self-talk. You may find yourself catastrophizing ("This will be so horrible" or "I bet no one will be there, and I'll be alone and feel so out of place") but learn to ignore these thoughts and return your focus to more positive thoughts. Sometimes you get along great with people, and other times you may just not click. If you find yourself not clicking with someone, remember that this is an isolated circumstance, and it doesn't mean you're socially awkward, that you're bad at conversation, or that people don't like you. If you're worried about how people will respond to you or if you'll be judged, remind yourself not to assign heavy value to the opinion's of others. Say to yourself, "People's opinions of me don't define my identity. They are entitled to their opinions as I am to my own." If you start feeling anxious around new people, tune into your body, especially your breath. You may notice your breathing quicken or feel more restricted. Calm your mind by calming your breath. Take a deep inhale, hold it for a few seconds, then let the breath leave your body slowly. Repeat as necessary. Learn to identify your stressful triggers and use relaxation techniques to calm yourself. This is especially helpful before you approach a social situation. Techniques such as meditation and yoga can help calm you down before you meet new people. When you notice your body tensing up before a social event or meeting, take note of the feelings and learn to relax your body. Notice the tension (perhaps in your shoulders or neck) and consciously release it. Have specific techniques you use before you go out to meet new people. If you have to attend a work function, spend a little time before the event in meditation, or go to a yoga class beforehand. Plan out your day so that you can approach the situation in the best possible mindset.

summary: Build your self-confidence. Use positive self-talk. Avoid basing your worth on other people's reactions. Use your breath. Relax.

Use a tape measure or extendable slide rule to measure the width of the window opening at the base, middle, and top. Write down the smallest of these measurements as the width. Be sure to measure from the surface of the jambs or frame, not from the short extensions that hold the window in place. A slide rule with extension may result in more accurate interior measurements. If you are using a tape measure, make sure you account for the width of the tape measure itself, which is usually printed on its label. Your window may be surrounded by a plastic or aluminum jamb liner that slots around its vertical sides. This will be removed before the replacement window is installed, so measure its width and add it to the width of the window opening. If you cannot access the liner's width to measure, use 1/2" (1.25 cm) as an approximation. From the windowsill surface closest to the window itself, measure the height to the top of the window opening. Do this at the left, center, and right edges, and write down the smallest result as the height. If your windowsill is sloped, measure from the highest point, which is usually right against your window. Measure the depth between the two stops that extend in front of the window frame. Try to measure at the shortest point, but it is not vital that you measure in three places as you did the weight and height. If you cannot open your window, measure the depth on each side and add them together. Alternatively, approximate by measuring the depth on the interior side and multiplying by two. To the result from either of these methods, add the thickness of your glass pane if you know it. A single pane of glass varies in thickness, but 1/8" (3mm) is a reasonable estimate. There is usually a minimum depth required for installing a specific replacement window or storm window, but as long as the depth is larger than that minimum, you do not need an exact measurement. Measure the window opening from the top left corner to the bottom right corner and write it down. Measure the distance from the opposite corners (top right to bottom left) and compare with the first measurement. If these lengths are not equal, your window opening is not square or rectangular. In this scenario, you should let the manufacturer of the new windows or shutters know that the opening is "racked" and give them these measurements. Some manufacturers of replacement windows, storm windows, or exterior shutters may request that you order items slightly narrower than the size of your opening to make sure they fit. You may follow that manufacturer's instructions to reduce the size by the appropriate amount, or give them the exact dimensions of your window opening. The important point to remember is to be absolutely clear which method you are using, since if both you and the manufacturer narrow the window size, it may not fit at all.
summary: Measure the width at three points and use the smallest measurement. Account for the lining around the window if present. Measure the height at three points. Measure the depth of the window if you are installing replacement windows. Check whether the window opening is rectangular. Be clear about where you measured when ordering windows or shutters.
