Regardless of what the situation may be (for example, their sporting event or taking on a promotion at work), make sure they know that you support them. Be excited about opportunities that arise for them, and express that excitement. Be there in person to support when you can, like at a sporting event or at a fundraiser. Let others know about their opportunity, if they feel comfortable with that. Encourage them to take on the new opportunity by taking tasks off of their to-do list so that they can better focus. Offer to take care of some chores or errands so that they can focus their attention on their needs: Grocery shopping Laundry or dry cleaning Cleaning your home Preparing food in advance Helping with administrative tasks, like sending emails or managing their calendar An unhealthy relationship is one in which one person holds the other back. Show they that you truly support they by encouraging they to chase their goals. Offer to find ways to make their goals or dreams attainable, like helping them do research and learning more about their ambitions. When they feel discouraged, share uplifting words: "I know you feel like you're a long way from reaching your goal right now, but let's take a moment to look at how far you've come since you started!" There will likely be times when they feel pessimistic. Help them turn those feelings around by remaining optimistic. If you feel pessimistic, too, and display that pessimism, then they might give up on their goals. Even if you do feel frustrated at times, find ways to continue to be supportive and to express that frustration in a healthy way. Find a friend to whom you can vent your frustrations, play sports, or take a walk. At times, the best way you can encourage them to do something is to give they space. Recognize when this is needed, and give them the space they need. Giving too much encouragement can become or seem nagging, and no partner appreciates being nagged. Take this time to do something good for yourself: a warm bath, a good book, a solitary walk, time with your hobbies, or something else you enjoy. No one is perfectincluding youand one way to be supportive of them is to encourage them to become better. Your relationship will benefit from individual improvements, whether those are related to their attitude, personality, physical appearance, et cetera. This does not mean that you should or can nag them. If there is something you do not like about them, you cannot force them to change it, especially if they do not want to change. However, you can inspire them to become a better person in some way. Be open to they turning this around on yourself and encouraging yourself to become a better person, as well. Show support by improving together.

Summary: Let them know that they have your support. Ask them what you can do to assist. Encourage they to go after their goals and dreams. Be optimistic for them. Give them space when necessary. Challenge them to be a better person.

If you live near a laundromat that provides custom washing and has staff on hand, bring your shirt in and ask if they can help you shrink it. They may have special high-heat washers or techniques you can't do at home. If your preshrunk shirt is dry-clean only, bring it to your dry cleaner and ask if they'll be able to shrink it. Dry cleaners often have special methods for shrinking clothes. If you aren't able to shrink your shirt at home, consider bringing it to a tailor to be physically altered. They'll probably be able to size the shirt to your exact specifications, even if you need the entire shirt resized. Some materials may be impossible to alter--listen to what the tailor says! This may not be cost-effective for regular t-shirts.

Summary: Bring your shirt to a full-service laundromat. Talk to a dry cleaner about shrinking your shirt. Ask a tailor to alter your shirt.

If your toddler is okay with playing with a bowl of water, try getting them to dip their feet in a sink or stand in a kiddie pool. If you're able to work up to them being able to take a bath with you, they'll soon be okay with taking a bath by themselves (with your supervision, of course). You can also try having your toddler help you prepare the bath by asking them to pick out the bubble bath and helping them pour it into the tub while it's filling. It may be that taking a bath in a big bathtub comes with too many new, unknown factors. To help the toddler adjust, place them in the tub without any water in it. Give them a few bath toys to play with to help them get comfortable with the bathtub. You can leave their clothes on them in the tub at first and then remove them later on for a smoother transition. If your toddler refuses to get in the bathtub at all, it's best to clean them another way instead of forcing them to take a bath. Dampen a sponge with some water (and soap, if desired) and sponge the toddler to clean off any dirt. If you used soap, make sure you rinse the sponge out and remove all of the soap from their skin. If the weather is nice out, you can turn the sponge bath into an outdoor activity. See if the toddler is comfortable with showers if they don't want to take a bath. Use a removable shower head, holding it at the toddler's neck level to avoid getting water all over their face. You can move the shower head around their body to rinse off the soap after you've washed them. You may need to get in the shower with the toddler to be able to take control of the shower head. If you don't have a removable shower head, see if the toddler will stand in the shower next to the running water. You can use a cup or other container to collect water and pour it carefully over the toddler's body. If your toddler is terrified of the tub, help them get clean by taking a bath with them. Having you there to support them in the tub will help your toddler feel safe and more comfortable. To make taking a bath more fun and less scary, you can both put on your swimsuits and get in the bathtub to play in the water.

Summary: Take small steps to get your toddler comfortable with a bath. Place the toddler in an empty bathtub with toys to help them adjust. Clean them using a sponge if they're completely against baths. Help them take a shower for a different bathing experience. Take a bath with your child.

Keep maintaining the 90-degree angle of your hips and legs. You'll know when you've completed this step once your knees are directly above your nose and your legs are straightened parallel to the mat. Press your palms into the mat to help lift your legs. Make sure that your chest stays low and your neck remains elongated and your hips don't move out of alignment. Once your legs have reached a 60-degree angle from the ground, hold the position for 3 seconds.
Summary: Exhale as you lift your hips off of the mat and curl your abs in. Inhale and elevate your legs toward the ceiling.
