Be open to doing a self-assessment, which could be a useful problem-solving tool. You should approach it without shame or blame. You don't have to be brutally honest with yourself. Instead, be gentle and kind while still being honest. Think of yourself as a friend providing advice to yourself. This will keep you from being too rough on yourself. You don't need to evaluate every aspect of your life in order to start being honest with yourself. Think about things that both cause you discomfort and can be changed. Choices for focus include goals, career, money, family, spirituality, and love.  You could also examine how you spend your time. For example, who do you spend your time with? What is the quality of the time you spend with others? You could look at choices you make about yourself. For example, what are your goals, your exercise, eating, drinking, or work habits? You could look at your performance in a role you fulfill, such as a worker, a parent, a child, a partner, etc. Evaluate your goals and progress towards them. A good place to start is with issues you do feel comfortable approaching, then working your way up to the issues that make you feel uncomfortable. As you gain confidence in your ability to be honest with yourself, continue to challenge yourself by approaching topics you feel less comfortable addressing. Be careful not to pick and choose what you assess based only on how comfortable you feel about the topic. If you avoid things that make you uncomfortable, you may be avoiding the most important issues of all. Get up earlier or later than your family, or find a quiet space where you can sit and think. Some people think better while doing some other simple task (such as laundry) or while walking. Find out what works for you.

While lying flat on your stomach, bend your knees so that your feet point up toward the ceiling and reach behind you to grab your ankles. Lift up with your arms and feet to feel a nice stretch in your shoulders and abs.  Hold the pose for 20-30 seconds, then exit the bow pose on an exhale breath. You may repeat the pose several times for better results. Once your body adjusts to this level of stretching, a more advanced move would be to reach farther up and grab the tips of your toes. This will pull your legs more upward toward the ceiling, and stretch all of the muscles being used even further. Get on all fours with your palms flat on the ground and your legs hip-width apart. As you inhale, tilt your head back toward the ceiling and push your bellybutton down towards the ground. Hold this position for several breaths. On an exhale breath, bring your head down and tuck your chin to your chest as you arch your back up towards the ceiling. Hold this pose for several breaths. For an extra back stretch, slowly slide your arms forward on the mat while arching your back until you get your arms and chest to touch the ground. Lie on your stomach with your elbows bent and your hands by your sides. Slowly straighten your arms as you inhale, lifting your upper body, and tilt your head back towards the ceiling. Make sure your pelvis stays firmly planted on the ground.  Keep your leg muscles tensed and thigh muscles contracted. Hold the position for at least 40 seconds and let your muscles stretch with the pose. Once you become comfortable with this pose, you can try bending your legs upward at the knees and reaching your head back to touch your toes. Kneel on the ground with your big toes touching and your heels pointed outwards apart. Walk your hands forward on the ground in front of you and keep your tailbone planted firmly on top of your feet. Once your arms are fully extended in front of you, push your forehead down toward the ground. Hold this pose for one to two minutes while you inhale and exhale. Inhaling will expand your stretch and be very beneficial for your back muscles. While kneeling with your legs shoulder-width apart, push your hips forward and lean back until you feel a stretch. This can be done with or without supporting yourself with your hands. Place your arms behind you and reach down to rest the palms of your hands on the bottoms of your upturned feet.  Pull your elbows together behind you and lift your sternum up toward the ceiling. This will open up your chest and initiate a nice stretch in your back. If you cannot sink backwards enough to reach your heels, use an exercise ball, yoga block, or other props to support your back.

After choosing to deactivate your account, Instagram typically requires a few hours to finish the process. During this time, you cannot reactivate your account. If your account has been deactivated for more than a day, you should be able to log back in without any trouble. If you chose to delete your Instagram account, you won't be able to reactivate it after deletion. Tap the Instagram app icon, which resembles a multicolored camera. Do so in the top text field. You can use any of these credentials so long as they're associated with the account you want to reactivate. Depending on the screen to which Instagram loads, you may first have to tap a Log In button or link in order to view the login page. Do this in the "Password" text box. If you don't remember your password, you'll need to reset it. It's at the bottom of the screen. As long as your login credentials are correct, doing so will log you into Instagram and reactivate your account. Depending on how long your Instagram account has been deactivated, you may have to accept updated Terms of Use or verify your phone number before you can proceed to your account.
