Q: Being bubbly means developing a positive outlook to find the best in other people while lifting their spirits with your attitude.  Rephrase negative thoughts as positive ones. For example, instead of thinking "I'm so worried about finishing this essay," think "I'm so excited to write a great essay." Find the positive things in life. For example, instead of feeling gloomy about a rainy day, situations, appreciate the soothing sound of the rain instead.  Congratulate yourself on your accomplishments and strengths. Be kind to yourself, develop a sense of pride, and don't compare yourself to others. No one wants to act bubbly and outgoing when they're stressed out. If you're ever feeling nervous or anxious, take a minute to focus on your surroundings, take a series of deep breaths, give yourself some positive affirmations, and go back into the social situation when you feel ready. Other ways to alleviate stress include meditating and grounding. A healthy get-up-and-go attitude is a must if you want to have the energy to be bubbly and talkative.  Exercise 20 minutes or more a day. Try activities that keep your energy up without taxing your heart such as yoga, pilates, and light jogging.  Get at least seven hours of sleep, preferably eight to nine if you can. Make a routine out of your bedtime so getting adequate sleep becomes a habit. Eat a balanced diet high in protein, energy-supporting minerals such as manganese, and omega-3 fatty acids. Add some almonds, salmon, beans, and spinach to your diet.
A: Keep a positive worldview. Know how to alleviate stress. Stay energetic!

Q: Changing a bad habit is really hard, but figuring out your triggers might help. When you feel tempted to engage in a bad habit, write down what was happening beforehand. This might be your trigger, so avoiding that situation in the future could help you make positive changes. Let’s say you’re trying to stop eating junk food. When you feel tempted to munch on a bag of chips, you might consider what was happening when the craving hit. You might realize that when you feel stressed, you crave junk food. Managing your stress levels might help you avoid triggering your cravings. If you’re wanting to change yourself completely, it’s likely you feel that your life isn’t going the way you’d like. To help you be your best self, decide what your ideal life would look like. Include the job or path of study you want to pursue, how you want to spend your day, and how you want people to perceive you. For instance, you might decide that you want to be a teacher so you can work with kids. In your free time, you might spend your day helping others, making things, and spending time with your family. You may want people to perceive you as a kind-hearted, hard-working person. You’ll need to swap out your bad habits for good ones if you want to make a big change. Identify the habits that aren’t helping you live the life you want. Additionally, recognize the behaviors that are causing problems in your life. List out these habits and behaviors so you can work on changing them.  As an example, you might recognize that your habit of eating take out on weekends is preventing you from saving money to use for your hobbies and from eating healthy meals. Similarly, you might realize that scrolling on your phone is taking all of your free time.
A: Identify your triggers for behaviors you want to change. Describe what your best life looks like. Make a list of the habits and behaviors that are holding you back.

Q: If you find yourself hung up, it can sometimes help to work in reverse. Switching up the order of events will allow you to look at things from a different angle. As a result, it becomes possible to fit the disjointed pieces of your narrative together and reframe them in an unconventional way.  For example, in a song about a wild party, you could open by describing the aftermath—the trash strewn about the room and the guests passed out on the lawn—then go back and recount how things got to that point. Don’t be afraid to jump around in time if it makes the story you’re telling more compelling. Devices like flashbacks and foreshadowing are fair game in songwriting. As you work your way towards the chorus, pick out melodies that strike a different emotional chord than the verses. This is arguably the most important section musically, as it’s how the song will come to be identified. Once it arrives, the listener should feel like the whole song has been building to that moment.  The chorus is often composed in a higher pitch than the verses to help suggest that the content is more emotionally charged.  It may help to incorporate a short bridge section that makes the introduction of the chorus a little smoother and creates contrast between it and the verses.  Stick to the same basic key and tempo, at least for your first few efforts. A sudden shift in the middle of the song may be offputting. Odds are you won’t produce a hit on your first few tries, and that’s okay. Sometimes a verse will have to go through countless rewrites before the music and lyrics come together just right. Keep at it—with each new draft, your song will be that much stronger.  After you finish writing your verse, step away and come back later to look at it with a fresh perspective. The more time you spend in the writing phase, the longer you’ll have to distill your ideas into a form that’s faithful to your original vision.
A: Start at the end. Transition smoothly into the chorus. Write multiple drafts.

Q: Before you begin the process of addressing employee absence, make sure that you are adhering to the law. The purpose of FMLA is to protect employees from disciplinary action when major life events occur. Be aware that while these employees are protected under this act, the employee must provide notice that he will be absent from work for one of the reasons protected under FMLA, and documentation must also be provided (e.g. doctor's note, evidence of adoption, etc.).  This includes the birth of a child, caring for a newborn child up to the ago of one year. Adopting a child and caring for a newly adopted child during the first year. Caring for a parent, spouse or child with a serious health condition Being unable to perform job duties as a result of a serious health condition. Emergencies arising from the child, spouse, or parent of an employee as a result of being involved in the military. If you have an employee with a disability, as an employer, you must provide accommodations so that he can perform his job without undue hardship.  If this applies to your employee, he may be missing work because he cannot perform his job properly, and may need assistance. Make sure that this is not the case before taking any disciplinary action. Undue hardship is defined as, "action requiring significant difficulty or expense" when considered in light of a number of factors, including how much the accommodation will cost and its nature in relation to the size, available resources, nature of the work, and structure of the company. This act protects people from being discriminated against on the basis of gender, race, color, national origin, or religion. Like with the ADA, you should ensure that your employee is not absent from work because, for example, of a religious ceremony he must attend, before taking disciplinary action. This act protects service members rights to employment and reemployment upon returning from a period of service. If your employee has recently returned from a tour of service in the military, including the reserves and National Guard, he may be dealing with emotional issues, administrative issues, etc. that are preventing him from working. You are likely already familiar with what the company policy on attendance is; however, it doesn't hurt to refresh your memory, especially if you have to confront an employee about his attendance.
A:
Be aware that there are several laws in place to protect employees from being disciplined or terminated wrongfully. Understand the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Be aware of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Learn about Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Understand the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Make sure you are very familiar with your company's attendance policy.
