At this point, side (1) should be crossed under side (2) a few inches in front of your body. Take end (1) and pass it up and over side (2). Pass end (1) through the large gap that you formed when overlapping the two sides of the obi. Leave the knot loose as you’re forming it. Do not try to tighten the knot until it’s completed, or you’ll have a very difficult time completing the knot. Keep one of your hands on the point in front of you where sides (2) and (1) overlap, and use your other hand to guide side (1) of the belt through the gap where you put its tip in the previous step. As you pull side (1) through the gap, keep it flat. Don’t allow the fabric of the belt to twist or fold, or you’ll end up with a messy knot. Once you’ve pulled side (1) through the gap, the knot is ready to be tightened. Don’t try to tighten the obi knot by pulling one side up and one side down, or you’ll risk skewing the knot and giving it an asymmetrical look. The tightened knot should have a roughly diamond-shaped appearance.

Q: Massage is a common treatment to relieve tension or stress because it helps stimulate increased blood flow to targeted areas. Begin by gently massaging your upper eyelids for 10 seconds. Then, gently massage your lower eyelids.  If you wear contact lenses, take them out before doing this exercise. Apply light pressure when massaging and use the first three fingers of your hand. Make gentle, circular movements. The soft pressure on the lacrimal glands, which produce most of your tears, helps to stimulate tear production and wetness in the eyes. This, in turn, provides soothing and much-needed hydration to tired eyes. When massaging the lower lids, make sure to massage across the lacrimal bone, which is located near the inner eye. Blinking offers much-needed breaks and moments of relaxation for our eyes. However, it is often something most people disregard since it is such a natural activity that generally requires little thought. However, making an effort to blink more frequently can help ameliorate eye strain.  Blinking helps lubricate and hydrate your eyes. Not only does blinking push out toxins with tears, it also works to spread tear film evenly over your eyes. Blinking can thus help ameliorate eye dryness.  Try to blink once every four seconds to keep your eyes from drying out. Giving your eyes more breaks during periods of intense focus or concentration, particularly at a computer screen, will help alleviate eye strain.  Try the 20-20-20 method: Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen at any object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.  If you have a hard time remembering to take breaks, set an alarm as a reminder to rest and reset your eyes. You can also try fully opening and closing your eyes every once in a while. Research suggests that this action can reduce the symptoms of eye strain, eye fatigue, and dry eyes. Palming can be done very simply. Take your palms and cover your eyes for a few minutes.  Sit comfortably in a chair with a straight back. Place your elbows on a table, on top of a pillow or blanket for added comfort. Rub your palms together beforehand to produce some heat before you begin palming - this heightens the relaxation component of this technique. Cup each hand and close your eyes. Place each cupped hand over each eye. Breathe normally and rest in this position for 5-10 minutes. You may want to set an alarm to keep the time.  If after your alarm goes off you feel refreshed, then this the right amount of time you should spend palming. If you don't feel refreshed, add an extra five minutes and observe any changes afterwards.
A: Massage your eyes. Blink more. Take breaks. Perform palming to relax your eyes.

Article: You can draw a line with sidewalk chalk on your driveway, mark your spot with a pen, or use any household object to indicate your place. Count your steps from 1 to 10 as you walk forward. For best results, try not to overthink your foot placement and walk normally. If you used sidewalk chalk to mark your starting point, draw another line at the edge of your shoe. If you used an object (such as a pen) to mark your starting point, drop another object at the tip of your right foot. This mark indicates your stopping place. Start your measurements where you took your first step, and use a ruler, yardstick, or measuring tape to find the distance to your last step. Use the smaller units of measurement on your measuring device, such as inches or centimeters (instead of feet or meters). Round your measurements to the closest inch or centimeter.  For example, the distance may be 180.3 inches (458 cm), which rounds down to 180 inches (460 cm). Have a friend help hold your tape measure if you need a hand. Once you have the total number of inches or centimeters, you are 1 calculation away from determining your stride length. Divide your distance, and the number you get is your stride length! For instance, if your distance is 180 in (460 cm), you will get 18 in (46 cm) after you divide by 10. Your stride length is 18 in (46 cm) or 1.5 ft (0.46 m). If you want to ensure your measurements are as accurate as possible, repeat the process a few more times, and average the numbers together. To calculate your average, add up the total of all your stride lengths, and divide them by the total number of times measured.
