This means that if you are turning right, you'll want to push the handlebar to the right. This is different than turning in close quarters. You are essentially keeping your handlebars square but initiating a lean. Gently, increase pressure from your palm on the handlebar, pushing it gently. Logically it may seem as if you were trying to turn the bike in the opposite direction you want to turn. However, as you do this, lean gently into the turn while shifting your weight slightly in the direction you want the bike to tilt.   Again, while that may seem counterintuitive at first, this is the principle of counter steering, turning the front wheel slightly to drop the bike into a gentle lean, which allows for greater stability during a turn. The sharper you want to make the turn, the greater your lean angle should be. Maintain pressure on the handlebars and look through the turn to the road ahead of you. Avoid looking at the side of the road or other distractions as target fixation can cause you to go directly toward it. Look at the path in the road you want to be on. Don’t decelerate during the turn or let off the throttle. You don’t have to speed up in the turn, just keep the throttle steady. If you need to let off it at all that means you entered the turn too fast. Try to have confidence in your bike. Just because it is leaning doesn’t mean it’s about to fall over – as long as you keep pressure on the throttle you should keep friction with the road. By holding down the throttle you’re pushing that back wheel into the road and keeping the bike steady. Don’t look at the ground. If your vision is wrong you’ll end up crashing. If you look at the ground, you’ll go to the ground. Keep your eyes where you want to be going – that’s not directly ahead of you, that’s at the exit point of the turn. Vision is incredibly important while countersteering. When you are exiting the turn, release some pressure on the inner handlebar and add some more pressure on your throttle. Now push slightly on your outer handlebar and your bike will come back upright. This doesn't need to be a dramatic push back to the outside, just a slight nudge as you release pressure on the inside handlebar.

Summary: Push the handlebar to the direction of the turn. Keep your head up. Maintain a steady throttle. Look through the turn. Accelerate out of the turn.


There is a vast amount of incredible music written specifically for the piano. Even if the composition you're writing isn't ultimately meant to be heard on the piano, hearing other finished compositions when you're trying to get inspired can be just the thing you need.  Classical and jazz are the two most noteworthy styles of piano playing. Even if you're only going to be playing in one or the other (or a more contemporary style like pop) it's a good idea to give a listen to these different styles. Keep an ear out for the different chords the players use depending on the style. Look into the work of Liszt, Chopin or Satie for great classically-based piano works. For jazz, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck and Chick Corea are all players worth looking into. Whether you're starting out or an advanced player, warming up your fingers with scales can encourage creativity to flow more freely once you get into the thick of composing. If you know a few scales, try warming up with one you're not as familiar with. Hearing the distinctive tone of a scale might spark the first ideas of a fresh composition. Scales are a very handy thing to know when it comes time to write melodies. While there's no sure method to write a great melody, knowing which scale you should be using will give you an idea of which notes to use and which to avoid. You never know when you're going to hit a creative stride. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, this happens to fall on the least convenient times where you're either far from an instrument or about to fall asleep. This is why it's a good idea to bring a notebook and/or sound recorder with you wherever you go. If you think of a great melody or rhythm, you can hum it into your mic and adapt it once you're by your piano again. Most cellphones have a recorder option. If you don't have a cellphone for this purpose, basic handheld recorders tend to be very affordable. Creativity cannot be forced. If you're trying to break through the writer's block and nothing's working, it may be time to give yourself a break from things. Go do something that has nothing to do with the creative process. Clean your house. Talk to a friend on the phone. Pet a cat. Better yet, take a nap. When you return to it, you don't want to feel any of the frustration you were grappling with before. Creativity is best when you're feeling relaxed. Going for a walk is a fantastic idea if you're getting frustrated. Many artists have some of their best creative epiphanies when they're out for a stroll. Most music (even instrumental music) is directly inspired by something or someone. In some cases, the composer is driven by love and longing. Other times, he's trying to vent out bad emotions. Take a look at your life and single out some of the things that have most affected you in the past while. Have you gone through a break-up? Did you recently go on an unforgettable vacation? Anything that sparks feeling in you is fair game for musical inspiration.

Summary: Listen to piano music. Practice scales on the piano. Carry a notebook and handheld recorder wherever you go. Give yourself a break. Think about what you might like to write music about.


If you were blessed with full breasts, make your cleavage pop even further by wearing a t-shirt in a v-neck, plunging or sweetheart cut. Make sure you’re wearing a well-fitting bra underneath your shirt to prevent spillage.  If your breasts spill over the tops and sides of your bra, it’s time to get remeasured. Breasts should be lifted and separated when wearing a V-neck top. If they are too squished together, opt for a different bra. Working out your pectoral muscles as you’re getting ready can actually make your breasts look larger. To work out your pecs, grab two 20 oz water bottles and lie down on your back. Extend your arms to the sides to make a T shape, then lift your arms to meet over your chest.  Keep your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Do 25 reps a day for a noticeable lift. Sleeping on your stomach may cause wrinkles on your chest. Try to sleep on your back or side whenever possible and apply sunscreen and moisturizer to your chest if you’re planning to be in the sun. To further improve your breasts as you sleep, wear a sleep bra to bed. The sleep bra will help prevent your breasts from sagging long-term.
Summary: Wear the right top. Lift your breasts through exercise. Sleep on your back.
