article: The quads are the large muscles that make up the front of your thigh. They aren't the main muscle that works during the Chinese split, but if they're too tight it will impede the stretch. The easiest way to stretch your quads is by doing a standing stretch.  Stand up straight. If you're a beginner or have trouble with balance, stand in front of a wall and place one hand on it for support. Lift one foot up behind you, grabbing it with your free hand. Pull it up until you feel a good stretch in your thigh. Hold the position for 10 to 30 seconds, or as long as you can comfortably hold it. Repeat this motion for the other leg. This position is a common yoga pose, and it can help stretch your quads and build strength as you work towards doing a Chinese split.  Start in a downward facing dog position, with your hands and feet (or at least the balls of your feet) firmly planted on the floor.  While breathing out, bring your right foot forward between your hands.  While breathing in, straighten your torso into an upright position while lifting your arms over your head. You should be kneeling on your left knee with your arms and torso vertically straight.  Hold the pose for as long as you comfortably can, then return to downward facing dog. Repeat the pose on your right side. . This pose is not for novice yoga practitioners, but if you've mastered the Virasana pose, you should be able to work toward a Reclining Hero pose. This position will help stretch your quad muscles even further.  Start by entering the Hero pose. Kneel on the floor with your knees touching slightly and the tops of your feet flat against the floor. Slowly slide your feet apart until they extend out past your hips.  Lean back, first on your hands, and gradually stretching back so that your forearms and elbows are touching the floor behind you.  Slowly lower your back towards the floor behind you. If you cannot stretch backwards to the floor (which will take a lot of time and practice), you can stack cushions behind you to lay your back against.  Try to hold the pose for 30 to 60 seconds, or as long as you comfortably can.

article: Exclusion is not your fault, and a friendship breakup does not mean that you’re a failure or that you’re doomed to never have friends again. The good thing about the high emotionality of exclusion is that it is a relatively temporary condition. This means that once you accept your feelings of exclusion they will evaporate shortly, leaving you with a clear mind to act in response.  Acknowledge feeling of anger and hurt toward whoever excluded you, but try not to dwell on them for too long. To help acceptance, remind yourself that these feelings are not permanent, but that they are teaching you something meaningful about the social world. The pain of exclusion temporarily interferes with your ability to connect well with others, so the sooner you let yourself feel the full range of your exclusion feelings, the sooner you can get safely back in the game to do something about them. However, the sting of rejection should not be ignored. Even though it is painful, it can send you a strong push to look elsewhere for connection or tell you that you should give up on a particular person or prospect. Sometimes events can truly clue you in to parts of your behavior that are problematic for other people. Usually though, we take rejection much too personally. Upsets like not getting the job you want or being rejected by someone you want to date actually has very little to do with the unchanging parts of your personality.  Don’t make the experience into a catastrophe. Even if you have experienced exclusion or rejection before, understand that exclusion is not a negative judgment of your character. In reality, it's a sign of perceived incompatibility. If reflection tells you that you really did do something to merit the exclusion you experienced, try apologizing. Giving a simple apology for your behavior is a good fix that can help you heal more quickly. It works well because you'll feel as though you've done something social that also addresses the issue. After the initial pain of rejection, most people move into an “appraisal stage,” in which they take stock and formulate their next steps. Acting to relieve this pain is natural, so what can you do to feel more included? Exclusion actually makes you more sensitive to potential signs of connection, more attentive to social cues, and more willing to please. Take advantage of this special moment of sensitivity to new connections! Ask yourself the following to see if you really want to make it work with the people who excluded you:  Was this a "fluke" incident where I felt excluded even despite my friends' best efforts to include me? Are these excluders people with whom I am certain that I have a true, fulfilling connection? Would it help me get over what happened to have a talk about it? If so, would others be willing to explain their perspectives? Another temptation that arises when dealing with exclusion is the urge to become angry and aggressive toward your excluders. Some people try to force others to pay attention to them in attempts to reassert a sense of control over the situation.  Try learning techniques to control anger to use if these impulses creep up. When you're around people who trigger the pain of the exclusion, monitor your body for signs of anger and take steps to release it without hurting or snapping at others. Responding by lashing out can begin a vicious cycle. People who act aggressively tend to have an even harder time gaining social acceptance. Whatever you decide about your excluders, it is always good to have different groups of friends to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket. People often respond to rejection by seeking inclusion elsewhere to recharge self-esteem.  Consider the people in your life who make you feel included. Gaining confidence through connection is important for getting back on your feet, even if you still hope to branch out and eventually continue to make new friends, too. For example, even though your family cannot replace your social life, try spending some concentrated time with a loving parent or relative. If you find that the exclusion was not severe enough to stop trying to socialize with the person or people, make an effort to regain feelings of inclusion with them. You can do this without forcing it by organizing a fun day out or inviting them somewhere that you know you will feel comfortable and able to socialize (like your home or a cafe that you frequent). If you are being excluded over and over again by the same person (or group of people), it may count as bullying. Bullying is a serious offense that can escalate quickly, so it's important to reach out to your teachers, parents, or counselors who will address the problem with you. Look for signs that the exclusion is a form of bullying, and seek help if it is:  The exclusion involves other malicious acts like making threats, spreading rumors, and launching physical or verbal attacks. This behavior happens on an ongoing basis and shows no signs of letting up. The excluder(s) is dangerous to you by having significantly more physical strength, popularity, or access to information that would harm you if it spread.

Add the vanilla extract and food coloring to the sugar mixture. Stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Chill the dough in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets and flatten it. Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool before serving them."

Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and the salt. Stir them together, then add in the chocolate chips. Toss everything together gently. This recipe requires a 12 to 24-hour chilling period. Plan ahead! Pour both the white and the brown sugars into another large mixing bow. Pour in the canola oil and the water. Whisk them together for about 2 minutes. You can speed up the process by using a handheld beater, a stand mixer, or a food processor fitted with whisks.  If you don't have canola oil, you can use another type of oil with a neutral flavor to it, such as grapeseed. If the brown sugar has clumps in it, be sure to break them up first before adding it to the bowl. If you can't find a vegan-friendly white sugar, use 1 cup (200 grams) of brown sugar instead of a combination of white and brown sugar. Keep stirring until the color and texture are consistent. If you don't have liquid food coloring, try 3 drops of gel food coloring instead.If you want the cookies to have a minty flavor, use 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract instead of the vanilla. You can use more food coloring if the color is not strong enough for you. You can do this with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed, and stop when there is no flour left. Do not over-mix the batter. Cover the bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap, then stick it in the fridge. Leave it there for 12 to 24 hours. This is very important; if you skip this step, the cookies will spread out too much while baking. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Do this when the dough is done chilling. Use a small ice cream scoop or a cookie scoop to form the dough into balls. Gently flatten each ball to a 2-inch (508-centimeter) wide disk. Consider freezing the cookies for 10 minutes. This will help them keep their shape. They are ready when the edges turn golden. If your oven is not big enough to fit the baking sheets, you will need to put them on separate racks. If you end up doing this, be sure to switch the baking sheets around halfway through baking. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes first before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. Let them finish cooling (about 10 minutes) before serving them.
