Buy a pack of "slow-to-bolt" cilantro seeds, which will last a week or more longer before "going to seed" and losing their culinary value. Just sprinkle them into a small dish, add a bit of water, and leave them to soak for around 12 hours. This quick soak will encourage the seeds to begin sprouting more quickly, as compared to planting them directly into potting mix. After their overnight soak, pick the seeds out of the water dish and drop them into a clear zip-close bag. Place the bag on a sunny windowsill for a day or two. Each day, spray a bit of water in the bag if it doesn't appear to be slightly moist inside anymore. You'll move on to the next step once you see a tiny white sprout emerging from each seed. Don't fill the bag with potting mix; just sprinkle in enough so that the seeds can nestle in amongst the soil. Spray some water inside to moisten the soil. You'll plant the seeds once you see signs of tiny roots and stems developing. As with directly-sown seeds, use a deep pot (at least 8 inches (20cm)) that drains well, and fill it with an indoor potting mix. Just barely cover the seedlings with potting mix and mist the soil to moisten it. Try to point the roots downward and the stem(s) upward, but don't be too particular about itthey'll figure out which way to go!

One of the most obvious signs of bullying is physical assault in the form of punching, hitting, or striking. The person may physically harm you with his own hands or an object, or he may threaten to physically harm you. Often, a bully will physically assault their victim continuously over a period of time, with each assault becoming more violent and aggressive. Many bullies shove or push their victim. If you are being bullied, the bully may inflict minor or major physical injuries on you in places that they know not very many people will see or notice. They may do this to avoid suspicion from a parent or a supervisor. Bullies can also inflict physical discomfort in more subtle ways, such as invading your personal space on a continual and relentless basis. If you work in a cubicle or an office, for example, the bully may come in and sit right on your desk or stand in front of your cubicle or office door. If you are trying to work in the library at school, the bully may come and sit right on your school books or pull up a chair very close to you. Invading personal space is often done by bullies who are trying to intimidate you or scare you, without using actual physical assault. Bullies may also invade your personal space and then escalate their bullying tactics to physical attacks. Making loud noises, pointing bright lights at your eyes, and shoving stinky things in your face can be bullying if the person is doing it with the intent to cause you pain, or ignoring your requests to stop it. They don't have to hit you in order to hurt you. Causing sensory pain; this may be tailored to a disability such as flashing lights at a photosensitive person or making loud noise in order to watch an autistic person jump and whimper Trying to irritate an injury, such as prodding a broken arm, or dropping things for you to pick up when you have a painful knee injury Trying to trigger a medical condition, such as using flash photography to try to trigger a seizure in an epileptic person, or showing graphic content to someone who has PTSD or a phobia Often, your body will respond to bullying in psychosomatic ways, which is a physical illness that occurs due to mental trauma or stress. This could be an overwhelming feeling of nausea, anxiety, or stress when you are in the presence of the bully, or more physical symptoms like throwing up, a rapid heartbeat, headaches, and panic attacks. You may experience physical discomfort in the presence of the bully or during times when you are not around the bully. The night before school, for example, you may feel physically ill at the thought of having to see the bully. Or, you may become nauseated and sick on your drive to work because you know you will need to see the bully in the office. These are all psychosomatic responses to bullying and often will only go away if you deal with the bully.

Instead of focusing on what you don't like about your body, focus on what you do like and what your body enables you to do. Focus on the idea that your body has enabled you to accomplish your goals, or even perform mundane activities like walking and singing. When you find yourself criticizing your body, stop yourself and reverse the dialogue, for example, "I am proud of my body. Because of my legs and hips I am able to dance and I love dancing!" Or, "I love my arms and hands because they are strong and enable me to hug and comfort my friends when they are feeling down." Limit your use of magazines, TV, and social media that glamorize the thin body ideal. Also, try to cut out media that constantly criticizes women and their appearance. Surrounding yourself with this kind of negativity can result in negative thoughts about your own body, as well as the bodies of others. Surround yourself with people who love their bodies no matter what shape or size it is. Find friends who support you and encourage you to find beauty in your own body. Eventually, their confidence and good habits will pass on to you the more you hang out with them, and vice versa. If you have a good friend who constantly criticizes and compares their body type to others, try to flip the conversation. Let them know that you think their body is beautiful. Also, try to steer the conversation toward things you both love about your bodies, instead of what you hate about them. Do this instead of avoiding the mirror because you do not like your curves, especially when you are naked. Do your makeup or hair in front of the mirror while you are nude at least once a week. By doing other activities while you are naked in front of the mirror, you may be able to become more comfortable with your curves and appreciate your body for what it is, not what it is not. This may be uncomfortable in the beginning, but the more you do it, the more comfortable you will become with your naked body and curves.
