Q: Using imagery helps improve self-confidence. Try an imagery technique where you focus on achieving confidence. Visualize yourself as completely self-confident and accomplishing your goal. What are you doing? What Is going on around you? What does it feel like? Who is there? What you are thinking about? Goal-setting increases self-confidence because it makes us feel like we are working toward something positive. Focus on what goals you have for the current situation. For example, perhaps your goal in giving your presentation is to clearly explain your message, make sure you got your point across, and appear confident. The more goals you achieve, the more confident you may become. Think about the purpose of the activity you are doing. Ask yourself, "What do I want to get out of this?" Set specific goals for what you are about to do. Focus on achieving those goals instead of thinking about what might go wrong. A self-fulfilling prophecy is where you believe that something negative will happen, and then you end up influencing that negative thing to occur. For example, if you are so fearful of stumbling over your words, your anxiety about it could actually lead you to make this negative outcome a reality. If you think you are going to stumble, then your anxiety and nervousness increases, and your heart races, and then you cannot focus and you lose your train of thought. Instead of focusing on the negative, focus on what you do want to happen to speak clearly and get your message across. Think thoughts such as, "I'm going to go in there and be confident, calm, collected, and get my message out." If you find yourself thinking negatively about the situation, try to find someone who will tell you otherwise. Successful people in the area in which you want to increase your confidence can serve as role models. We can learn from others, treat them as our mentors, and emulate their success and confidence. If you don't have someone readily available in person, you can call a friend to discuss the situation with.
A: Use guided imagery or visualization. Be clear on your goals. Trust in a positive outcome. Get another opinion.

Article: Mass is meant to be attended in your "Sunday best." Although you won't be turned away for wearing flip-flops and a football jersey, you might seem a little rude. At a minimum, wear a button-down shirt with slacks or a dress. Mass is a holy event, so dress modestly by covering your skin as much as possible. Get to the church at least ten minutes early. You'll feel much more comfortable if you can park and sit where you want. Arriving early gives you a chance to converse with the parishioners. Talking is discouraged once you step inside the main room of the church, although it isn't a problem as long as you do it quietly. Once Mass starts you shouldn't talk at all, so arrive early if you need to say something! Some churches are more strict about how much talking is permitted than others. Taking off your hat is a traditional gesture of respect. Act in the church the same way you would in a school, at work, or other formal venue. Men are always expected to remove their hat. If you're a woman, dress hats are okay, but always remove baseball caps. If you are with a small child or someone who is sick, you may bring water. Eat before you head to church so you don't need to bring food. Food distracts from worshipping, which is the purpose of Mass. This includes gum. Don't chew gum during Mass! Having your phone ring in the middle of a prayer is embarrassing. If you're waiting for an emergency call, put it on vibrate mode. You are allowed to discreetly use your phone to follow along with readings and prayers, but this is rarely necessary. If you have to take an urgent phone call, walk out of the church first. Up to age three, you'll most likely need to bring toys or coloring books for small children so they aren't disruptive. Once you think they're capable of listening and participating in the Mass, you can begin leaving the toys at home. Generally, bringing toys won't seem appropriate for kids older than four, but this is up to you. You can begin teaching young children the importance of Mass by giving them special clothing or toys they can only have on church days. If you have a child that may be disruptive, plan on sitting near the back so you can step outside when needed.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Dress in formal clothing. Come a few minutes early. Take off your hat when entering the church. Avoid bringing food or drinks into the church. Turn off your phone. Bring toys for small children.

Problem: Article: Charley horses are typically experienced in the calf, feet, and sometimes thighs; massage these areas to help reduce the pressure and painful cramping. Use medium pressure with your thumbs and fingertips in a circular motion at both the direct area of pain and slightly above it to improve circulation. Continue this for a few minutes until the pain subsides or you wish to move onto another treatment. Your muscles have become constricted as a result of spasms, so stretching will help to relax and soften them. Performing one or several stretches which elongate the muscles in the affected area should help to provide quick relief. Stand up straight, and then get into a lunging position, with your back leg being the one experiencing the charley horse. Straighten out your back leg while keeping your front leg bent. This will force your weight onto the toes of your back leg; you can lean forward onto your bent knee slightly if it is more comfortable. Sit down on your bed or the floor, and put your legs straight in front of you. Lock your knees, and point your toes back towards your face. Grab the toes and pull your foot backward slightly on the leg you're experiencing the charley horse on. Stand up straight on your tippy-toes and hold it for as long as you can manage. This will stretch the calf muscles and reduce the spasming. Take a break every few seconds and then continue stretching. Fill your bathtub with warm water and Epsom salts and take a soak for 10-20 minutes. The heat and the salts will work together to soothe your tight muscles and distract you from the pain. Raise the affected area by propping it up on pillows or the armrest of a chair or couch. Elevating the area will help to improve your circulation and move blood to/from the spasming area more effectively. To calm down the muscle spasms, use a hot compress for 10-15 minutes to relax the muscles. Then, immediately use an ice pack or cool compress on the area you're experiencing the charley horse. Never apply ice directly, but wrap it in a towel or bandage before placing it on your skin. Do this for 5-15 minutes for the best results.
Summary: Massage the muscles. Stretch. Take a bath. Elevate the area. Apply heat followed by ice to ease the pain.
