Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell your loved one that their feelings are understandable. Consider reminding them that problems like these are related to medical conditions. Reiterate that getting help is common and normal. Let your loved one know that you support them and don't think less of them.

Answer: Whether the person you're encouraging to see a therapist is suffering from a mental disorder, or addiction, or simply going through a hard time, telling your loved one that what she feels is normal is the first step to detaching therapy from stigmas. Remind your friend or loved one that people of their age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and people with their same struggle can and do attend therapy without stigma or shame. Depression, anxiety, and phobias are all medical problems. Addiction is also, at its root, a medical problem. Everyone gets medical problems from time to time, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking treatment.  Try comparing therapy to seeing a doctor for any other medical condition. Ask your loved one, "You wouldn't avoid seeing a doctor for a heart or lung problem, right? So how is this any different?" According to recent studies, 27% of adults in America have sought and received some type of treatment for mental health-related issues. That's more than one in four, on average, or about 80 million people. Try saying something like, "I'm here for you, no matter what. I would not think any less of you for needing to get help." It can help for them to have reassurance that you will still have the same respect for them. If you'd like, you can tell them that you think that seeking help is an act of courage.  For example, if they say "I can do it myself. I'm not weak," then you might say "I think it's very brave for people to seek out help when they're getting overwhelmed. It's really courageous."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask the person what they want to do. Identify an action step. Show your support in tangible ways. Follow up with the person.

Answer: If the person feels that they need more emotional support, it’s likely that something is imbalanced in their life. This is a great opportunity to help them explore what actions they can take to become emotionally centered again.  The person may not have the answer immediately and that’s okay. Don’t push for a decision right away. They may just need to be heard and feel validated first. Ask “what-if” questions. “What-if” questions will help the person brainstorm possible action steps that they may not have considered before.  Presenting options in a question format is less threatening and the person probably won’t feel like they are being told what to do. This approach allows you to give suggestions in a supportive manner without stripping away their power. Remember, you are not fixing the problem for the person. You are simply providing them support in finding the solution to the problem herself. For example, if your friend is struggling financially, you could ask, “What if you and your supervisor had a discussion about a pay raise?” Maybe your niece is feeling overwhelmed with work and home responsibilities. You could ask, “What if you planned a stress-free vacation for your family?” Any appropriate “what-if” question could be helpful. The person may not have all of the answers immediately, but it’s important to support them in taking small steps to resolve the problem.  Identifying the next step is important, even if it’s something small like the person agreeing to have another conversation with you the next day. People tend to feel more supported when they know that they have dependable people in their corner who will help them see the bigger picture.  Continue to support the person in taking action steps until the problem is resolved. It may be a slow process but they’ll appreciate your support. When a person is grieving, there may not be any specific action steps. People grieve differently and grief can last up to a year or longer. When you are supporting someone through grief, listening to the stories they wants to share and accepting their feelings without minimizing her loss is very important.  Sometimes an action step may mean getting help from a mental health professional. Sometimes it can be convenient to say things like “I’m here for you if you need me” or “Don’t worry. It’s all going to work out” instead of actually doing something to help. However, it's really important to actually show your support instead of just giving lip service. After spending time actively listening to the person, you’ll probably have some idea about specific things that you could do to help them feel more supported. If you’re stuck, here are some guidelines to get your thoughts rolling:  Rather than saying “Everything will be fine” you could do everything in your power to help make things better for the person. For example, you could help a sick friend find a good medical specialist or help them research treatment options. In addition to saying “I love you” you could do something for the person that you know they’ll appreciate. This could include buying them a gift, spending more time with them, or taking them somewhere special to help them de-stress. Instead of just saying “I’m here for you” you could bring the person dinner or help with tasks that they need to do in order to accomplish the action steps. Everyone has a schedule and things get hectic sometimes, but it’s important to make time to help the person. They have probably received a lot of verbal support, but this deeper level of support would be appreciated much more. Remember, small acts of kindness really do go a long way.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take a few days' break from shaving. Wait until your stubble grows to the ideal length. Shave the hair off of your neck. If desired, shape the hair under your cheekbones. Finish with a refreshing face wash.

Answer:
Growing a good layer of stubble is just as much about what you don't do than about what you do. If you're clean-shaven, start by simply stopping shaving. Depending on the speed at which your hair grows, you should start seeing stubble growing within one to three days. If you currently have a beard and you want to switch to stubble, give yourself a clean shave, then wait for your hair to grow. Alternatively, you can use a shorter setting on your beard trimmer to go directly from a beard to an All-over stubble style. This step will be different for everyone — some people may only need to wait a day to get to the amount of stubble they want, while others may need to take a week or more. This also depends on the style of stubble you've chosen. For example, all other things being equal, the "Wilderness" stubble style described above will take longer to grow than the "Peach Fuzz" style. Be patient — the average beard grows about 1/2 inch per month. Keep in mind that, for many people, certain patches of hair on the face grow faster than others. If this is the case for you, you'll want to wait until the fasting-growing patch of hair on your face is the right length. In other words, don't wait for your slow-growing patches to "catch up" to the fast-growing ones before you go to the next step. Once you've got your stubble to just the right length, it's time to shape it. Again, there's no "right" way to do this, but if you don't have any special opinion on the matter, use the short steps below to give yourself a "clean" look and a well-defined chin. If you're going for a "shaggier" look, you don't have to trim your neck hair, but don't let the hair on your neck get longer or more prominent than the hair on your face.  Use a stubble trimmer, a mini foil shaver, or a safety razor to shave a line under your chin. Unless you're going for a "chinstrap" look, this should be a few inches behind your natural chin line — to about where the bottom of the chin meets your neck. Shave the hair on the neck below your new stubble line. Take care around the Adam's apple to avoid cuts. Give your neck a final review to ensure it's looking good. Your neck itself should be clean-shaven and tidy, while your stubble should wrap around the bottom of your chin all the way to your sideburns (or, if you don't have any, where they would be) with a straight, clean line. Now, if you'd like to, it's time to shape the top of your beard. Again, for shaggier stubble styles, this isn't necessary, but it won't hurt either. There are generally two ways to do this:  Use a stubble trimmer or a safety razor to shave a straight line from the bottoms of your sideburns to the outer edges of your mustache. Shave a curved line in a downward "oval" pattern so that your beard connects with the edges of your mustache. When you're satisfied with your stubble, remove stray hairs from your face and leave yourself feeling great with a cold water rinse. This will also close your pores and soothe your skin, which is nice if you have delicate skin that is easily irritated by shaving. You may also want to use a gentle non-scented lotion at this point to moisturize your skin and keep it feeling soft. Refrain if you cut yourself shaving — lotion in a cut can seriously sting.
