In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Rather than obsessing about your physical appearance, commit to cultivating inner beauty. True inner beauty does not wrinkle or sag, never goes out of style, and will be remembered long after you are gone.  Think about what you value in a friend, and cultivate those attributes in yourself. For instance, if you make efforts to become trustworthy, honest, dependable, loyal, a good listener, and lighthearted, not only will you be developing your own inner beauty, but you will also attract similar people as friends.  Give generously. Your time and resources are precious, and giving has deep psychological benefits for both you and the recipient of your generosity. Consider volunteering, sponsoring a child in need, or donating used toys and clothes. Take up a collection for the food bank or emergency infant services in your town. Or call the local hospital and see how to become a volunteer in the nursery or geriatric ward. A preoccupation with your body might mean you have too much time on your hands. It could also mean that the friends you are surrounded by are also preoccupied with their appearances, which is contributing to your own dissatisfaction.  Think about a sport, art, or social cause that you've always wanted to get involved with. Consider joining a local intramural team, taking knitting classes, or volunteering for a political campaign or at the animal shelter. An added bonus of finding a new hobby or pass-time is that you will likely meet new people there who share your interests and can help redirect your focus off of your appearance and onto your shared hobby. Many things about your body are simply the result of your DNA and should be celebrated as unique aspects that make you who you are. Taking control of the areas that you can change can give you a sense of control and confidence.  Exercise. While your body has its own unique shape, you can tone and strengthen it in order to be healthier and have more energy. Even if you do not lose weight, exercise has psychological benefits, reducing stress, cultivating self-discipline, and improving self-image.  Eat well. A balanced diet can improve your body's fitness and health, which will lead to more energy and confidence. Reducing sugar and carbs and ensuring that you have a healthy intake of good fats and protein can lessen symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve memory, weight, and heart health.  Get adequate rest. Not only will this improve your body's functionality, but it will improve your emotional state as well, which might have the added benefit of helping you to be less critical of your appearance. Respect yourself. Your body is a gift. Think about the things it has done for you! Whether you've given birth, hiked a mountain, or simply woke up this morning to another day, your body does amazing things for you.
Summary: Be beautiful, inside and out Find new hobbies and friends. Consider what you can change.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dipping may not seem as dangerous as cigarettes are to some people because no smoke is involved. However, dipping can cause cancers of the mouth, throat, and esophagus, as well as shrinking of the gums around your teeth, cracked lips, white spots, sores, bleeding in the mouth, tooth loss, bad breath, and increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Make the decision to quit about you, not about someone else in your life. If you quit for someone else when you don't want to, you may resent them during the withdrawal process.  That being said, family members and friends can be a great support and inspiration for quitting dipping. Accept support from your loved ones. Dipping can greatly impact not only your life but the lives of your family and friends. Realize that you are spending money to harm yourself. If you are chewing as often as one can per day, your addiction can get expensive very quickly. Try to view your addiction as an intense waste of money if that helps you recognize that you have a problem.  Your health insurance costs will also go up as a result of your chewing habit. If you do contract a disease or cancer as a result of dipping, the cost of treatment will be enormous. You may not be able to remember when you chose to start dipping. In fact, it may not have been a conscious decision at all. Chances are, you did not plan to become a dipper, but somehow it happened and now you need to fix it.  Maybe your friends and/or family introduced you to dipping one day and you gradually accepted, eventually becoming comfortable with the substance and ultimately becoming addicted. Maybe a certain behavior triggers a tobacco craving, such as playing in a baseball league with other dippers. Identify and avoid trigger behaviors and settings. Evaluate the facts of your situation, not how you feel about them. Your feelings are important, but they sometimes lead you to a false sense of reality.  When your mind tries to tell you that you cannot withhold a dip any longer, recognize that the truth is you will not die if you withhold a dip. When your mind starts to make excuses, try to bring yourself back to the reality of the situation.
Summary: Recognize the problem. Quit for yourself. Count the financial costs of your addiction. Find the source your addiction. Be honest with yourself.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To do a leg slap, stand in a relaxed pose with your legs about hip length a part. Bring out your right hand and right leg at the same time, bending your arm slightly at the elbow and pointing your fingers away from your body. Turn your head to the right as well. Then, give your leg a light slap and turn your head forward at the same time. This move can be used between dance moves or as a way to start off a dance routine. When you walk on stage, you should engage your hips and arms. While walking, deliberately sway your hips side to side in a gentle, rolling motion. Matching the rhythm of your hips, twist your wrists slightly so your hands make a light, dancing motion at your side.  This takes some practice, so try it in front of a mirror at first. Make sure you're not over-gesticulating with your hands, which can look dramatic. Keep your movements light and sensual. It can help to watch images of burlesque dancers online to get a sense of the right movements. Many burlesque dancers wear gloves. Sensually peeling off your gloves is a great move to add to your routine. To do a glove peel, use gloves that reach your elbows. Loosen the base of the glove with one hand and then bite the tip of the glove's index finger. Gently pull on the finger of the glove with your mouth while extending your hand away from the body until the glove slips off. Dancers do different things with their gloves depending on their routine. You can toss the glove aside or toss it to another dancer if you're doing a show with someone else. Spread your legs apart. Bump your hip to the left and then to the right. While you do this, rotate your hips in circles for added movement. For added sexuality, you can gently move your hands across your body while you engage in this move. For this move, wear knee-high stockings. Sit in a chair and stretch one leg out in front of you. Slowly move your hand down your leg until you reach your shoe and then remove it. Then, starting at the top of your stocking, gently roll it down your leg until you reach your toes. Use a cane, or similar prop, to slowly pry the stocking off of your foot. As with the glove move, it's up to you to decide what to do with your shoe and stockings after removing them. You can teach yourself a lot of the basics via practicing at home. However, classes can be an invaluable experience and teach you more complex moves. They can also be a great networking opportunity. Search online for burlesque studios in your area and see what kind of classes and certification programs they offer. If your area doesn't offer burlesque classes, try general dance classes to improve your overall skills.
Summary:
Try a basic leg slap. Practice walking while rolling your hips and hands. Do a glove peel. Perform the bump and grind. Teach yourself a stocking roll. Seek out professional training.
