Q: It's not enough just to ask your friend if they are okay. The important part comes next, when you show them that you're available to listen and support them. Make sure you have time to listen if they decide to open up. Lean in and make eye contact frequently. Nod your head and give some feedback that you're listening by saying, “Uh huh”  or, “I see.” Reflect what they are saying to show that you understand the content and the feelings they're expressing.  For example, say, “I'm so sorry that makes you feel sad and angry.” Avoid saying you know how they feel. It's best just to be there for them and empathize the best you can with what they are experiencing. Even if you disagree with the person, don't immediately say so or start an argument. Don't blame them for their experience, even if you think their problems are their fault. Keep in mind that you asked them if something is wrong. Whatever your opinion, keep it to yourself, at least for today. For example, if your friend admits that they have a drug problem, don't chastise them for doing drugs. Listen and show your support in admitting their problem. When listening to your friend open up, acknowledge their experience and how it makes them feel.  If they are having a hard time, notice and acknowledge this difficulty. Show that you're listening and sympathetic toward their feelings.  Try to simply listen and empathize for a bit before offering any advice. You might ask, “What are you thinking about doing about that?” Helping them formulate their own solutions can help them feel empowered. If you don't know what to say, consider, “It sounds like this is difficult for you” or simply, 'That sucks.” If their situation needs action, encourage them to take the next steps. You might encourage them to see a therapist, look into rehabilitation facilities, or talk to their family and friends. Perhaps you might encourage them to take some medications or take some time off from work or school. Say, “Thanks for opening up to me. I think it may be best for you to consider talking to a professional or getting some help.” Check in on the person to see how they are doing. Let them know you haven't forgotten about them. Send a text, ring them on the telephone, or see them in person. Let them know you are there to support them and help them when they need it.  Continue asking, “How are you doing?” to follow up with them. Ask, “What can I help you with?”
A: Be available to listen. Avoid judgments. Acknowledge their experience. Encourage action. Stay in contact.

Article: Start your warm up with joint rotations in order to lubricate your joints and prepare them for the work out. Start by making circles with your feet. Work your way up to the knees, hips, and shoulders Finish by rotating your wrists.  Rotate your ankles by moving them in small circles. You can rotate them clockwise or counterclockwise. This can be done seated or standing. To lubricate your knee joints, come to a standing position. Pull your right knee up towards your chest. Release it back to the ground. Pull your left knee up towards your chest. Release it back down. Repeat as needed. Lubricate your hips by completing single leg rotations. Stand near a wall or workout bench for balance. Anchor your left foot on the ground. Rest your hand on the wall or bench for support. Raise your right leg up, bend the knee to the 90 degrees. Rotate your raised leg, moving your knee from the front to the side. Repeat with the left leg. To warm-up your shoulders, begin with small shoulder shrugs. Transition from shrugging your shoulders to rotating your arms in clockwise circles, followed by counterclockwise circles. Move your wrists in a clockwise motion. Switch to a counterclockwise motion after approximately 30 seconds. Skip rope for at least 5 minutes, aiming to increase the number of jumps-in-a-row as you go. Skipping is an excellent, low-impact activity. It increases your blood circulation, raises your core body temperature, and elevates your heart rate. It also helps you work on your coordination, which is an important component of bag training and boxing. If there is a bike or a treadmill available to you, bike or jog instead of jumping rope. Complete your warm-up with a light stretch. Begin by stretching the muscle groups in the lower half of your body--your calves, hamstrings, and lower back. Move onto your upper body. Stretch your core, upper back, arms, and neck. Spend a little extra time stretching muscles that are particularly sore.  To stretch your calves, stand approximately two feet from a wall. Facing the wall, rest your hands on the wall for support. Flex your right foot--press the ball of your foot against the wall while keeping your heel anchored on the ground. Lean into the wall to increase the stretch. Repeat with your left foot.  Tight hamstrings can be pesky! Stretch your hamstrings by touching your toes. You can complete this stretch from a seated or standing position.  To stretch your lower back, stand with your hands at your sides. Lean to the right and slide your right hand down your leg. Hold for 10 seconds. Come back to a normal standing position. Repeat on the left side.  Stretch your core and upper back at the same time. Position yourself on all fours (use a towel or yoga mat for additional padding). Start with a straight back. Keeping your head up, inhale and arch your back. Exhale and round your spine. Repeat as needed. Stretch your arms. Pull your right arm diagonally across the front of your torso. With your left arm, come underneath your right arm. Bend your left elbow and position your right arm in the crook of your left arm. Repeat with your left arm. To stretch your neck, come to a seated position. Intertwine your fingers and rest your palms on the back of your head. Tuck your chin into your chest. Press your hands towards your thighs. Release and repeat as needed. Heavy bag gloves are used exclusively for training. They have just enough padding to protect your hands during your vigorous workout. Purchase a high-quality pair of leather gloves with velcro fasteners--don’t skimp! Heavy bag gloves are for everyday use. Gloves made of better material--quality leather and molded foam padding--will last longer and provide better protection to your hands.

Q: Find a place where the item will be undisturbed and sheltered from any rain. An outside location in the direct sunlight is best. Allow the item to sit for a couple of days. The butter's oil will soften up and break up the stain. The salt from the butter, coupled with the sunlight, will help to lift the stain. Wash the fabric in the washing machine. Put a regular amount of laundry detergent in the washing machine and set it to use hot water. Do not include other items in the washing machine so that you don't risk any transfer of the ink to another item. If the fabric is not washable (vinyl, for example), wipe away the butter with a clean damp cloth. Apply a small amount of gentle laundry detergent to the cloth to help clean off the butter. The stain should be gone, but if there is still a trace, repeat the process of applying butter to the stain. Wash the fabric again and if the stain is gone, then proceed to dry the fabric as usual.
A:
Set the fabric item in the sunlight. Check the fabric before drying.
