article: Strive to stay relaxed before and during the ride. This can be achieved by breathing slowly and deeply to maintain a steady heartbeat. You might also try to keep a positive attitude in general, which could include soothing the horse by talking or singing softly to it before riding. Petting a horse before riding as well as during the ride can help keep both horse and rider calm. Petting during the ride has the added bonus of helping keep the rider's hands steady, allowing for greater control of the horse. This control can help calm the animal more quickly in the event of spooking. A good place to pet the horse is on its withers, which is at the tip of the shoulders where the neck and back meet. Simply stroke the fur softly to pet. You can also apply soft pressure with your fingertips or scratch lightly with fingernails. One way to help keep both the horse and rider calm during the ride—thereby minimizing spooking—is to use an application that sets a riding tempo. Acting like a metronome for the ride, the application will set a tempo for each gait, which the rider can speed up or slow down. The rider simply activates the application on a smartphone or mobile device and places it in their pocket during the ride with the volume up loud enough for the horse to hear it. Another way to use this application is to have a friend operate the tempo adjustments with the application hooked into a riding arena's public address system. This is a good way to ensure the horse can hear the beat. You may be startled by your horse's behavior if it gets spooked, but the horse will only experience greater stress if you show stress yourself. This is because your stress indicates to the horse that there is a legitimate threat, even though it is his or her stress to which you may be reacting. In this case, the horse can be more difficult to calm, so you really should remain calm if your horse gets spooked so as to minimize the horse's stress.

article: Never show up at a restaurant or party hungry! It’s much harder to control your portions when you’re hungry or chatting away with friends. Consider snacking on hummus and carrots, yogurt, or fruit and low-fat cheese before leaving home. Most restaurant portions are twice the necessary size. Ask for a to-go container shortly after your food arrives to remind yourself not to eat it all. Before digging into your meal, set a goal for how much to bring home--such as 3 slices of pizza or half of a chicken dish. It’s almost impossible to estimate how much you’re eating when you’re sharing multiple cartons of takeout with friends. Dish your food onto a plate and evaluate how much you really need.

article:
One of the easiest things you can do to make sleeping easier if you have carpal tunnel syndrome is to wear a wrist brace to bed. This will prevent you from bending and flexing your wrist while you sleep.  You may want to wear a brace during the day as well, depending on what kinds of activities typically cause you pain. You can buy a brace at any drug store, or your doctor may suggest that you have a custom one made for you. Although it hasn't been definitively proven, sleeping on your side may be associated with a higher risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. This is likely due to the fact that the wrist is more likely to be compressed in this position. If you sleep on your side, try sleeping on your back to avoid further compressing your wrist as you sleep. It's important to think about where you normally place your arms while you sleep and whether or not this may be worsening your symptoms. Try to avoid sleeping with either arm underneath you or your pillow, as this may worsen your carpal tunnel syndrome. Propping your arms up on pillows while you sleep may help relieve tension and reduce pain.  If you are sleeping on your side, make sure the side affected by carpal tunnel is on top. Place a pillow in front of you and place the affected hand on the pillow. You may need to experiment with the height of the pillow to find the most comfortable position for you. Bending your elbow may increase the compression on your nerve, which can make your symptoms worse. As much as possible, try to keep your elbow straight throughout the night. You may want to try wrapping a towel around your elbow so that it is difficult to bend. This may help you train yourself to keep your arm straight at night.
