Problem: Article: At your lessons, be kind to your fellow gymnasts. Being kind to others will also make you a better gymnast and person. Do not argue with your coaches. You should respect your coach's position. It's just something to improve on, a little tiny thing that you could work on to improve your gymnastics skills. Over-reacting will just make people think negatively of you. Take all points of criticism and use them to improve. Showing up on time will help your coach know that you're reliable and that in future tournaments you'll definitely be there to compete. Also, remember your leotard and other equipment. This will prove that you are a committed and serious student.
Summary: Support others. Don't over-react to criticism. Show up to classes on time.

Problem: Article: In most cases, it’s best to use a cloth bandage to wrap a sprain; however, some individuals engaged in athletic activity, such as running, prefer the feel of athletic tape.  While athletic tape works to wrap an injured ankle, it is primarily made to wrap an uninjured joint before activity to avoid injury, not to protect an already injured ankle. Even though the thinner, sturdier athletic tape makes continued activity easier than the bulkier, more flexible cloth bandage, continued athletic activity on a sprained ankle is not advised.
Summary: Decide if athletic tape is right for you.

Problem: Article: Pour the baking soda and vinegar into a bowl and use a spoon to mix the solution together. As you mix the two ingredients together, it should start to form a paste. If the solution is too thick, add more vinegar to it. Use a sponge to rub the baking soda and vinegar paste into your sink. Continue to work in circular motions until you've removed all the dirt and scum. Clean the sink with water from the faucet. Use a cotton cloth to help remove all of the paste. Scratches left on the basin and sides of your cast iron sink are called pot marks and are created by pots and pans. These lines or marks can be worked out by using a wine bottle cork. Scrub the area with the cork until the scratches have been removed. The soft cork will wipe away any marks without scratching the finish on your sink. Continue to rinse and re-wash your cast iron sink until it is shiny and spotless. You should perform a deep cleaning when your sink gets overly dirty, or once a month for maintenance. Wipe down the sink after you've rinsed it with a dry cotton cloth. Get all of the moisture and leftover cleaning solution off the surface and inside the basin of your sink.
Summary: Mix 1/2 cup (90 g) of baking soda and 1/4 cup (59.14 ml) of vinegar together. Rub the paste into your sink. Rinse the sink. Use the cork from a wine bottle to scrub away pot marks. Repeat the steps until your cast iron sink is clean. Dry down the sink.

Problem: Article: Change can be good. Perhaps the relationship was emotionally taxing and causing you more stress than reward. Recognize the freedom you now have, which brings about new opportunities.  Feel the relief of not having to worry about the other person or be concerned with the drama they brought into your life. Spend time outside of work developing healthy relationships with friends, and others who could become romantic interests. Keep things “light and airy”, which means: stay away from deep thoughts, discussions, troubles or complaints. Portray a sense of calm and optimism that can't be pulled down by the negativity or awkwardness of the situation.  Focusing on the positive will guard against being pulled into negative discussions.  No one can take your power away from you if you remain positive. Reacting to an agitating remark will give your power to the other person. You are in control and responsible for your feelings. It is an important job. Be accepting of yourself. If you are feeling guilty or remorseful about having a relationship with someone in the work place, at school or with your roommate, you will need to forgive yourself. It doesn't mean that you forgive and “forget” what you did, and then do it again. Forgive with the intent of learning from your mistakes and stopping any attempts to self-sabotage yourself in the future. Actors get paid to pretend. You may not be an actor, but there might be a time when you need to pretend that you are doing fine when you really aren't. It is a way of protecting yourself from further hurt. Get yourself through an awkward interaction in any way that you can.  Discuss it later with a trusted friend or family member, which will allow you to process the feelings that were stirred up. Venting your feelings is a legitimate way of processing feelings and will probably make you feel better. Many people are not comfortable with silence. They feel compelled to put words into the air as if they will ease the tension in the situation. Develop a level of comfort with silence. When you don't know what to say in a situation, say nothing. Choose to be comfortable with silence, and you won't feel as awkward in situations that come up.  Silence isn't being rude. Remember, a lot of people are uncomfortable with silence so they may say things or ask you things. Answer them in a manner that you see fit.
Summary:
Make the most of the situation. Stay positive if you come in contact. Avoid being judgemental. Fake it 'til you make it. Use silence to your benefit.
