Article: Your desires or longings say a lot about you, even if you've been spending a lot of time denying them. Consider why you want to complete those activities or goals and what it will take to reach them. Chances are, these are your passions and dreams in life, which are typically areas of great strength. Many people fall into the trap of doing what their families want and becoming a doctor or lawyer when they'd rather have been a ballet dancer or a mountain trekker instead. In a different section of your journal, write down your desires or life's longings. Ask yourself, "What are my desires in life?" Whether you're applying for your first job or have just settled into retirement, you should always have goals and yearnings in life. Determine what drives you and what makes you happy. Begin to ask yourself about the things you most enjoy in life. Write down the answers to the question, "What types of activities do I find satisfying or appealing?" For some people, sitting by the fire with their Labrador Retriever by their sides is extremely satisfying. For others, they’d rather be rock climbing or taking a road trip. Make a list of the activities or things you do that make you happy and provide you with pleasure. Most likely, these areas where you find your hobbies are some strong areas for you. Along with your desires, you need to decide what keeps you motivated in life. In your journal, write down your answers to the question, "When do I feel energized and motivated?" Consider times in your life when you feel ready to take the world on by storm or inspired to go to the next level. The areas that inspire and motivate you are typically where you are strongest. Note that many people feel desires very early on in life, indicating the childlike self-knowledge that many come to lose when family, peer, and social expectations or financial pressures push the initial desires down deep.

Article: Look for natural ingredients, such as chamomile and tea tree oil, as well as a sulfate-free formula. A clarifying formula will help wash away dirt and product buildup on your scalp. Shake well to combine the ingredients and create a foamy, diluted solution. Diluting the shampoo makes the consistency much thinner and more manageable, which will make the rinsing process much easier. Work section by section, flipping over sections of hair to expose parts of your scalp. Generously coat the whole scalp with shampoo. Make sure to coat your hairline as well, covering the baby hairs along the sides. Use small, slow circular motions to work in the shampoo. The shampoo should create a light, foamy lather. Make sure to be very gentle. Frequent wetting, handling, and rubbing can create frizz and will damage the braids or make them look old. Using the pads of your finger, not your nails, is important for protecting the scalp and the base of the braids. Let the water rinse away the shampoo from the roots. Massage the roots very gently and flip over sections of hair for easier access to the water. If you can, ask someone to help you by holding the ends of the braids to the side. This will prevent the full lengths from getting wet, which will keep your braids from feeling heavy and drying slowly. If you don't pull the ends to the side, the rinsing process will wash the shampoo down through the ends of your hair, naturally cleaning them. This could cause the braids to become heavy, though. They will also take a long time to dry.

Choose a clarifying shampoo. Mix equal parts shampoo and water in an applicator or spray bottle. Apply the shampoo mixture directly to the scalp. Massage the shampoo mixture into the scalp with your fingertips. Rinse out your hair in the shower.
Article: Apart from being a linguistic exercise, it may bring you into contact with new people and ideas. You may feel less of a stranger when you visit a place and you know some of the language. Also, at some point you will realize that there are some phrases or concepts in other languages that have no direct translation in English! This can be a challenging and fun exercise for the mind. (Note, try to be patient and positive when studying a language as it may take time to reach the level you desire.) Try to visit other countries too. Visiting cities in your country or in a different one gives you an open mind and teaches you about the universe. You will be able to understand other cultures (how people live in a different place, how they behave with each other). You will also be able to understand that there is so much to see and do anywhere. You will be fascinated on how there are so many different people and cultures in the world. That will make you smart and interesting. and willing to learn new things. Just because you're great at one thing doesn't mean you have to stick to it! Find ways to step out of your comfort zone. This is where the learning happens.
