Roaches are drawn to clutter, as it gives them somewhere to hide and live without being exposed or disturbed. Divide up the clutter in your bedroom into "throw away" and "keep" piles. Then, toss out the items in the "throw away" pile and put away the items in the "keep" pile. Roaches are especially drawn to cardboard and newspaper, so get rid of any newspaper and/or switch out any cardboard boxes for plastic storage containers. Try to keep dirty laundry in your laundry basket and clean laundry folded in your dresser or hung up in your closet. Remove any wallpaper, shelf liners as they eat the paste on the back of it. Roaches thrive in dirty environments, so it's very important that you regularly clean your bedroom, and also the rest of your home. Sweep, mop, vacuum, dust, and wipe down surfaces with multipurpose cleaner and a rag once a week or so. Also, it's crucial that you stay on top of doing the dishes and taking out the trash. Roaches love food, so full kitchen sinks and trash cans may draw them into your home. Remove anything with glue, starch, soap, fabrics, wood as well, and sources of water, as they've got a very wide appetite. If possible, keep food out of your bedroom completely. If you must store some in your room, keep all of it in tightly sealed boxes or bags. Make sure the seal on the fridge door is in good shape, as the younger ones can get inside. If you extend the inhospitable environment to the outside of your home as well, roaches will be much less likely to get into your home, bedroom, and ultimately, your bed. Roaches like to spend time underneath messy wood piles and dead leaves. Rake up any dead leaves and dispose of them, and organize and clean up any woodpiles you have in your yard, especially if they're kept close to your home.

Summary: Throw out and put away clutter. Keep your room and home clean. Clean up debris in your yard.

Look in the mirror and practice your facial changes at home. Take note of the way you notice your mood change as you change your face. Remember which tricks make you feel most pleasant so that you can practice them during the day to keep a pleasant expression. Take a pen and clench it in your teethimitating a smile. Do you notice yourself feeling happier? Now take the pen and hold it in your protruding lipscreating a frown. It will create the feeling of being unhappy. Practice vowel sounds. A long "e" forces a smile, "ah" imitates the expression of surprise. Both of these induce pleasant feelings. Notice the tilt of your head. Having a slight tilt to your head is a subconscious sign that you're engaged and paying attention. This encourages a pleasant disposition. Avoid constantly checking your watch, phone, or how others are reacting. You want to have eye contact and crease your eyes. Creasing your eyes is different from squintingit's a good thing to practice in the mirror. The most inviting eyes are fully open yet relaxed. Neutral lips or a frown-shaped pout is much less inviting. Keep a small parting of your lips to relax your facial muscles and convey warmth. With your mouth relaxed, turn the corners of your mouth up. If you're forcing a pleasant expression, it can often be picked up on by other people. They'll become suspicious. The best way to avoid this is to actually feel what you're portraying. Take time out of each morning to think of reasons you have to be pleasant. Take a moment to appreciate them and carry this feeling throughout the day. Think about friends and family. Consider your recent accomplishments. Start following positive quote Instagram pages. Get a daily calendar with a cute animal on each page.

Summary: Practice at home. Look engaged. Soften your eyes. Keep your mouth relaxed. Become pleasant within.
