Q: Part of curing your heartache, of finding acceptance for how things happened, is to realize that blaming yourself or the other person simply is not useful. What happened happened and there is nothing you can do or say now to change that, so let the blame go.  Try to feel some kindness towards them. Whatever they did or did not do, try to find some compassion for their issues, for what they are going through. It does not even mean you have to forgive them, but it does mean that you do not keep holding on to your anger at them. Likewise, do not place blame on yourself. Feel free to accept and deal with the things you did in the relationship that may have caused problems. Pledge to yourself to do better in the future. Just do not spend a lot of time agonizing over what went wrong. Everyone heals at a different pace. There is no set time period for healing from heartache, but there are some signs that you are getting to a healthier place.  Stop wondering if it is them calling every time a number pops up on your phone that you do not recognize. You have stopped fantasizing about them coming to their senses and begging your forgiveness on bended knee. You do not identify so much with songs and movies about heartbreak. You are finding that you enjoy reading and listening to things that do not deal with relationships at all. One thing that tends to get left at the wayside in a relationship, and in the initial grieving stages, is who you are! For a long time it has been about you as part of a partnership or couple. Then it is you as someone grieving the end of that partnership.  Work on personal growth, internal and external. Get into shape, or change your look. These things can truly help to boost your confidence, which has probably taken a hit. Figure out what areas of your inner self need work. For example: you might have a bad temper, that causes you to act passive aggressively. Therefore, you would need to work on finding healthier ways to express that anger. Develop what makes you unique. When you spend so much time with another person and dealing with the breakup fall-out, you tend to focus less on important aspects of yourself. Reconnect with people and activities you did not have time for when you were in this relationship and dealing with the breakup. Try out new things. This can help introduce you to different people, people who have never met the person who caused you such heartache. People outside your regular circle of friends. Learning new things will help to keep your mind off the heartbreak and on the present. Just as you do not want to sabotage your healing, you do not want to do things that make you relapse into the heartache. Sometimes you cannot avoid this, but you can minimize the risk.  Do not let that person back into your life too soon, if at all. If you do, it can cause a resurgence of unhappiness and heartache. Sometimes being friends with an ex just is not possible. If you do relapse, do not panic. The work you have already done in getting over the heartache has not gone to waste. It will payoff. Do not give up. Everyone has to deal with setbacks, especially with this sort of thing. Doing things that make you happy or that you enjoy help to ramp up the dopamine levels in your brain. This is a chemical that helps with happiness and lowering stress (which heartache can ramp up to eleven).  Do things that you do not associate with your ex. Try out new things, or do things that you stopped doing when the two of you were together. Learn to be happy. People are attracted to happy people, because happy people make them feel happy. While you will not feel happy all the time, work on doing things you do enjoy and living a life that makes you happy. After a breakup and the long process of healing from heartache, you may find it difficult to open up to other people again. Do not allow what happened in the past to negatively affect what is in your present or in your future. Recognize that you might be hurt again if you open up, but that you should do it anyway. Closing yourself off is a surefire way to encourage issues with your health, both mental and physical. As well, it can sabotage future relationships and friendships if you stop trusting people. Learn to trust yourself. It is important to remember that healing from heartache is a process. It will not happen right away. You will have setbacks, you will encounter problems, and you will feel a wide range of less than enjoyable emotions. After all, you did give a piece of your heart away.  The pain is proof you are human, made with compassion and imperfections like the rest of us.   Encourage yourself by celebrating the small victories. If you realize you have gone an entire day without thinking about your ex, celebrate that with a celebratory drink or a cookie.
A: Avoid placing blame. Know when you are ready to move on. Find out who you are. Avoid relapsing. Do things you enjoy. Give love. Don’t be discouraged!

Article: Decide whether you’ll be using modern-style names or more archaic- or fantastical-sounding ones. Once you’ve made that choice, stick to it and stay consistent. Be mindful that characters who are supposed to share a common ethnic background should have congruent sounding names. Otherwise it may detract from the believability of the characters in the story.  For example, if your story is set in Arthurian-era Wales, your characters should have recognizably old Welsh names, unless they’re specifically from a different place or background. Particularly if you’re using names typical of or popular among a particular group, don’t randomly mix and match culturally specific names unless you have a good explanation for your logic. If your story is set in an historically specific time and place, do your due diligence in researching names appropriate to that setting.  For example, if your story is set in antebellum America, choose a name that would fit in with the time. Avoid obviously incongruous names like “Brooklyn” or “Kimberley.”  Similarly, be sure the name is age-appropriate. If the character is elderly, look into names that were popular at the time they would have been born, not at the time in which they’re currently living.

Keep names consistent. Research the setting.

Q: Set down 10-15 cones or small obstacles in 2 rows, staggering them slightly. Dribble towards the first cone, tapping the ball with the outside of your right foot with each step. Cut sharply around the cone with one side of your foot, round it, dribble to the next cone, and repeat.  Once you’ve gone through with your right foot, switch to dribbling on your left. When you’re turning around a cone, try to leave as little space as possible between the cone and the ball. Go through the cones 5 times on each foot. Set up 2 cones or small obstacles 3–4 feet (0.91–1.22 m) apart, and another cone about 30 feet (9.1 m) away in a perpendicular direction. Starting at the 2-cone “gate,” dribble as fast as you can with the outside of one foot, cut sharply around the far cone, and sprint back on the same foot.  When you get back to the gate, stop the ball directly on the line with the outside of your foot. Complete 10 back-and-forth runs on each foot, giving yourself a minute to rest before switching feet. This drill will train you to keep good ball control while moving at speed and to quickly break down your steps to make cuts or quickly change direction. Set up 3 cones in a line or a triangle shape, about 2 feet (0.61 m) apart. Dribble a ball through the cones with all parts of your foot, using quick touches to cut the ball around each cone as sharply as you can.  Do this drill for 10-15 minutes to work on your control with all the surfaces of your feet. This is also a great drill if you’re low on practice space. To get better at specific moves, drill them as much as you can. Use a cone or unmoving obstacle when you’re first learning the move, then ask a teammate to go one-on-one with you to see how it works against a defender. Focus on mastering one move at a time. Once you get one trick down, learning more advanced ones will get easier and easier.
A:
Zig-zag around cones to improve your ball control. Make quick back and forth turns between sets of cones. Practice dribbling in close spaces to improve your footwork. Practice your moves around cones and other players.
