Keep your feet together. Your weight should be on your chest.  Position hands palms-down on the floor, approximately shoulder width apart. They should be about next to your shoulders, with your elbows pointed towards your toes. If you are on a relatively cushioned surface, such as a carpeted floor, you may also support yourself on your fists between the first and second knuckles for a greater challenge. If you are on a less forgiving surface, consider investing in some push-up grips, (they look like handles you put on the floor). Curl your toes upward (towards your head). The balls of your feet should touch the ground.

This technique will increase the actual space from furniture to ceiling and make the ceiling look higher. Large, bulky furniture will make the space seem closed in and less spacious. Be deliberate in what you buy to furnish a room with a low ceiling. Make each piece count and consider lighter colors to really open up the space. Install sconces or wall lights to draw the eye upward. Even a well-placed lamp can make a ceiling look higher.  Position lights to shine toward and up the wall when possible to create more reflective light and attention upward. Avoid pendant lights and the use of overhead lighting which bring the focus downward. Branches, candles, and large vases that reach upward toward the ceiling are great at drawing the eye upward. Place these items in the corners of the room to create high corners and maximize the height all around. When in doubt, distract. Use the bold pattern to draw attention away from low ceilings. Similar to the window treatments, avoid too many patterns in the room. If you decorate with a bold rug, keep the rest of the room simple.

One-sentence summary -- Use low profile furniture. Add uplighting. Accessorize with tall items. Place a bold rug on the floor.


If Helen Keller were on your team, you wouldn't assign her to start making phone calls, you know? You're not gonna assign Lennie to watch over screaming, dramatic teenage girls. You're not gonna hand Voldemort the Elder Wand. People (read: your team) have individual strengths (and weaknesses). It's your job as a leader to put them where they need to be. Where they're most useful. It's your job to recognize that each person has value. It's your job to ignite that chemistry between people and their efforts. Since you're leading, you're also (presumably) delegating. So let Helen read, write and inspire others. Let Lennie take care of the rabbits. Have He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named work on the recruitment side of things. Let everyone maximize their potential -- they'll be happier and you'll be happier, too. If you're running for President of the United States, it's a bad idea to have your slogan be, "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT IN 2016!" It's just not going to happen. You cannot lead your team with the expectations that everything will go swimmingly and everything will always be totally awesome. No. You gotta be real. You gotta be positive, but you gotta be real. Let your team know what's down the road. You're the seer, after all. It's important to handle expectations on a macro and micro level. You need to check-in on the team level and on the individual level. Does everyone know what their own obligations are? How does that fit into the bigger picture? With any focus-driven team, there's bound to be people who disagree and there's bound to be people who disagree with you. There will be those who think they should be leading, there will be those who just don't like your style, and there will be those who just plain think your team should be going in a different direction. This is normal. Your job is to get them on board. In most cases, this will be the minority (if it's the majority, you'll probably be ousted). The other two groups will be those who are behind you and those who really could go either way. You need to take those who are behind you and light them with a fire that can't help but spread to others. If you do it right, the rest will wonder why they're wasting so much time being difficult! This sort of goes along with the "be a seer" thing, but it needs to be happening constantly. Your vision for your team needs to morph as you make progress -- what seems right one day may seem incredibly wrong the next. So as the clock ticks, as you get further and further into your efforts, think outside the box. What could be done that you're not doing that could make it even better? Often people rise to their position. Meaning those who are under you may be full of good ideas, but they don't really say anything or they don't grow them fully because they don't feel like it's their place. Make sure to hear everyone out, regardless of their status. They may have that notion that sets a light bulb off in your head, who knows? A good leader is one who is respected, and you can't be respected without being ethical and fair. Your team may not seem like they're watching you, but if you falter in your morals, they will take note. If you play favorites, they will take note. If you cut corners, they'll take note (and follow suit). So if you want your team to play nice, you should be playing nice, too. When you're factory worker #142, it's easy to lose sight of your importance. You may have a group of people that all feel like they don't really matter, whether they say it or not. When that happens, productivity (and success) natural rests at a minimum. You can avoid that by giving them purpose. Let them know what they're doing, why it's important, and how it will affect people. Pay attention to them. Let them know you're paying attention. If you care, they're more likely to, too. Remember, you're a leader, not a boss. You're not just ordering them around. Heck, a monkey could do that. You're there to get the most out of them, regardless of circumstance. So be genuine with them. If they like you at all, they'll want to do their job. If they don't, they'll leave the first chance they get.

One-sentence summary -- Use combinational chemistry. Manage expectations. Handle your opposition carefully. Think outside of the box. Stay ethical and fair. Give your team a sense of purpose.


The best way to treat your skin after electrolysis is to behave as though you have a mild sunburn. Use a lightweight lotion to make sure your skin gets plenty of moisture. This will help it to heal faster, help prevent scabbing and will relieve discomfort. Electrolysis leaves the hair follicle exposed for a short time after treatment. Touching or scratching your face can transfer bacteria to your vulnerable skin, leading to breakouts and infection. Try not to touch your face for the first 1-2 days after treatment. If you do need to touch your face, wash your hands first. If scabs form, allow them to fall off naturally. Picking at them can lead to scarring. If makeup gets into the hair follicle while it is healing, it can lead to irritation and possibly infection. Translucent powder is okay, but avoid all other forms of makeup for a day or two so your skin can heal. Make sure to protect your face from exposure to UVA and UVB rays after you undergo electrolysis. Sun exposure on recently treated skin can lead to a form of discoloration known as hyperpigmentation. You should always wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 when you will be out in the sun, but it's especially important for the first 1-2 days after electrolysis, Sweating shortly after electrolysis can cause skin irritation and clogged pores, which can lead to an infection. Take a day or two off from the gym after your electrolysis treatment to ensure you get the best results.
