Article: Attach the yarn to your crochet hook using a slip knot, then work a foundation of seven chain stitches. Single crochet once into the second chain from the hook, then work one single crochet into each remaining chain of your foundation. At the end of the row, chain one. Turn the work over. For the second row, work one single crochet into each single crochet of the previous row. At the end of the row, chain one and turn the work. Continue to work rows of single crochet until you reach a length that matches your measured waist size.  You should use a measuring tape to check the length of your waistband, but as a general guideline, make 140 rows for a small, 148 rows for a medium, 156 rows for a large, or 164 rows for an extra-large. Note that you will need to make button holes on every sixth and eighth row. See the next step for more details. Create a button hole on every sixth and eighth row across the waistband.  To work a button hole:  Single crochet once into the first two stitches. Chain two. Skip two stitches. Single crochet once into each of the last two stitches. Chain one and turn as usual.   For each row following a button hole row, work one single crochet into each single crochet and two single crochet into the chain-two space. After your final row of single crochet, match the first and last edges, then slip stitch each pair of stitches together.  The stitches of both ends must line up evenly when you slip stitch them together. Completing this step should form a loop. Turn the band so that the slip stitch faces the inside. From now on, keep in mind that the slip stitch should face the “wrong” side of the skirt. Turn the work so that the long edge faces you. Chain one, then single crochet once into each stitch along the side.  The total number of single crochet in this step should match the total number of rows previously worked for the length of the waistband. After you complete this step, the waistband is complete. Do not fasten off the yarn, however.

Article: You do not have to express emotions with every person you talk with. When you are first expressing your emotions, you may feel silly or vulnerable, so you must choose friends and family that you trust to withhold judgments, and accept that you are striving to make changes. When you are conversing with others, exaggerate your facial expressions, hand gestures, and emotional responses. If you go over the top with your emotions, you can learn to rein in your emotional response over time.  You may feel silly being over the top about your emotions, but if you choose the right people to do this with, it will not matter, and will be of ultimate benefit to you. Be cautions when being overly expressive. Ensure you think about your emotions and actions before you act on them. If you are overly emotive about being angry, you might come across as hostile or dangerous. So emote with caution! Emotions are felt stronger when a behavior is attached to them, even if the behavior is not a natural response. You can ‘fake’ cry when you know you feel sad. This will elevate and intensify your emotional sadness, and may lead to real crying or, at least, a greater show of emotion. Emotions contain certain impulses (fear elicits the fight or flight response, anger elicits retaliation) that you have no control over. When you have these impulses, do not fight against them; instead amplify them so they show outwardly. Using physical contact can be helpful in expressing your emotions. Physical touch can impart emotion in a way our facial expressions or verbal tone cannot. Recent scientific studies have shown that humans have an innate ability to decipher emotions through physical touch alone.  When someone makes you happy, gently place you hand on their shoulder. When you feel disgust, squeeze someone’s arm. Physical touch is not welcomed by everyone, and if done incorrectly, may not be well received. Pick up on nonverbal cues from others about their acceptance of physical touch, and do it moderation. Not every situation calls for emotion, such as a work meeting, while others, such as talking with your significant other, require a more heightened emotive response. Judge each situation independently to decide the level of emotion you should show.

Choose with whom you express your emotions very carefully. Be “extra” emotive in conversations with others. Cry when you feel sad and smile when you feel happy. Use physical contact. Identify the level of emotion appropriate for each situation.
