If your MySQL server isn't currently online, you can't create a database. You can check the server's status by opening MySQL Workbench, selecting your server, and looking at the "Server Status" indicator on the "Administration - Server Status" tab. This path will vary depending on whether you're using a Windows computer or a Mac:   Windows — Copy C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE/ making sure to replace the last folder's name with the most current MySQL name.  Mac — Copy /usr/local/mysql-8.0.13-osx10.13-x86_64/ making sure to replace the last folder's name with the most current MySQL folder name. You'll use Command Prompt on a Windows computer, while Mac users will open Terminal. Type cd and a space, paste in the path to the installation folder, and press ↵ Enter. For example, you'd do the following on most Windows computers:  cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE For example, to open the login command for a user named "me", you'd type in the following and press ↵ Enter:  mysql -u me -p Type in the password for your MySQL user account, then press ↵ Enter. This will log you in and connect your command line application to the MySQL prompt.  You should see the "MySQL>" tag appear your command line application. From this point on, any commands you enter will be processed through the MySQL command line app.  Understand how to enter MySQL commands. MySQL commands must be entered with a semicolon (;) immediately after the last part of the command, though you can also enter the command, type a semicolon, and press ↵ Enter again.

summary: Make sure that your MySQL server is connected. Copy the installation folder's path. Open your computer's command line. Change to the MySQL installation folder's directory. Open the MySQL login command. Enter your account password.

Before you can begin tatting, you will need to find a thread that you’d like to work with. Size 10 cotton crochet thread is a great choice for beginners because it is not too fine and it will not snag as easily as other threads. However, you can go with another kind of thread that appeals to you if you prefer.  Keep in mind that a small number on a thread size means it is actually wider than another thread with a larger number thread size. For example, a size 10 thread will be larger than a size 40 thread. Stick to a size 10 or 20 thread when you are just starting out. This will be easier to see. As your skills improve, you can move to finer threads, such as a size 50. You also need a shuttle to tat. A shuttle is a spool with two pointed ends that are open, but that only allow the thread to pass through when you tug on it. This will help you to control the thread as you tat.  Shuttles can be a little difficult to find. Check your local craft supply stores or buy a tatting shuttle online. The most common and budget friendly type of shuttle is a simple plastic one, which is a great choice if you are a beginner. You can also find shuttles that are made of wood or bone, but they are more expensive and the only benefit of these is that they may feel nicer in your hand while you are working. However, these shuttles work the same way as the less expensive plastic ones. You will need to cut the thread regularly while tatting. Make sure that you have a sharp pair of scissors handy. The only other tool you use for tatting is your hands. Both of your hands will be engaged when you are tatting. You may want to remove your jewelry to keep it from snagging on the thread.

summary: Choose your thread. Select a shuttle. Get a pair of scissors. Be prepared to use your hands a lot.

If you are in a social situation, put away your phone, tablet, PC, and any other distracting electronic device. You cannot connect with others if you are constantly emerged in your devices. At a social engagement, give you full and undivided attention to the situation and people in front of you. You can connect with other people at a later time.  If you are an IPhone user, you can turn on the “Do Not Disturb function to prevent calls and text messages coming through until the function is turned off. This will prevent the temptation to check your phone. It is difficult to be present in a situation if you keep thinking about how excited you are to get out of your tight jeans or itchy dress. Wear clothing that is appropriate and comfortable, so you can focus on the present situation. When you are engaged in a conversation, do not think about how you will respond while someone is speaking. Instead, focus on what they are saying, and when it is your turn to respond, take two seconds before you're answering.   For example, if someone is telling a story about hiking with their dog, do not think of a story of you hiking with your own doggie as they are speaking. Fully engage in their story, then share your own. Empathize with the person’s story and share the same feelings with them. Say, for example, that you are as impressed as her, because this reminds you a similar event. To become present in situations, try being present with yourself. Try meditating by going to a quiet place, making yourself comfortable and focusing on deep breathing. Focus on how your body feels as you inhale and exhale. Repeat a single word or mantra or listen to repetitive music that calms you and clears your mind.  Spend at least five minutes each day doing nothing and being at peace with that.
summary: Silence and put away all electronic devices. Make yourself physically comfortable. Wait at least two seconds before responding in a conversation. Practice presence exercises at home.
