There are a variety of activities that promote good balance. Joining a yoga, Pilates, or tai chi class can help you improve balance.   Tai chi is a form of movement training that promotes coordination, strength, and balance. Many fitness and community centers offer tai chi classes. See what's available in your area by browsing the yellow pages, checking online, and looking for ads in the local paper. If there aren't classes offered in your area, you can buy or rent DVDs or find videos on YouTube that teach basic tai chi poses.  Yoga and Pilates are both forms of exercises that promote strengthening core muscles by moving between a variety of poses. Yoga has the added benefit of teaching mindfulness and meditation. In addition to improving balance, yoga could reduce overall stress. Like tai chi, fitness and community centers may offer yoga and Pilates classes. You can also buy or rent DVDs or find instructional videos online. While you're doing day-to-day activities, practice balancing. Try to stand on one foot while brushing your teeth, waiting for a bus or train, doing your makeup or brushing your hair, and other daily activities. Your balance will improve greatly if you strengthen your buttocks, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Aerobic activities, like running and jogging can help. You can also engage in low impact weight training, like lifting weights at home or doing push ups, sit ups, squats, and other easy exercises to do without heavy equipment. Try incorporating a medicine ball into your workouts to build core strength.

If you are using 1 cup of rice, use anywhere from 1 ½ to 2 cups of water. Adding more water will make your rice more fluffy, while less water will make it taste tougher.  Don’t add too little water or your rice may not fully cook or come out burned. If you use more than one cup of rice, make sure to adjust the amount of water you’re using. Adding salt to your boiling water will season the grains of rice, and allow your water to boil at a higher temperature, and thus more thoroughly.  Water typically boils 212 Degrees Fahrenheit, but when you add water it boils at 216 Degrees Fahrenheit.  Adding salt after your rice is cooked could make it too salty. Set your stove to medium or high and wait until large bubbles break the surface of the water in your pot. Though it depends on the amount of heat your stove is able to produce, your water should boil in anywhere from 5-10 minutes. While the water is boiling, add your rice to the pot of water. This should stop the pot from bubbling. Do not touch the heat settings on your stove. Make sure to not drop the rice from too high up, to avoid splashing boiling water on yourself. Using a wooden or heat safe spoon, stir your rice until the water starts to boil again. It should only take a couple of minutes for your water to return to a full boil. Once the water comes to a fierce boil again, lower your stove top settings to low. You should see the water in the pot simmer instead of large bubbles breaking the surface. Keep your stove’s heat settings to low as you continue to cook your rice. These directions are for typical basmati rice and not special varieties of basmati like wholegrain basmati rice, which takes longer to cook.  Do not uncover the lid on your pot, because you’ll let the steam that’s cooking your rice out. Do not stir the rice or it may become broken and mushy. Letting the rice stand for 5 minutes allows unfinished grains to fully cook, and the remainder of the water to evaporate. Afterwards, make sure to fluff it with a fork. Fluffing rice with a fork separates the grains so there are no large clumps and the rice maintains a fluffy and light texture.

You probably want the conversation to accomplish one of these things or a combination of a few:  Have your parents listen and understand what you’re saying without passing any judgement or offering any commentary. Have your parents support or receive their permission to do something. Give you advice or aide. Provide you with some guidance especially if you’re in trouble. To be fair and not put you down. This may be difficult especially if you need to talk about sex or open up in a way that you never had before. It’s natural to feel awkward or anxious when talking about difficult topics with your parents. Recognize what you are feeling and let your parents know so you can unburden yourself.  For example, if you’re worried that your parents will be disappointed then let them know immediately. Say something like, “Mom, I know that you had talked about this before and you’ll be disappointed at what I’m about to say but I know that you’ll listen to everything and give me what I’m looking for.” If your parents are particularly emotional and you expect a very harsh or unsupportive response, let them know that you have taken this into consideration yet have gathered the courage to still approach. Be proactive and diffuse the situation with positivity. “Dad, I know how mad this is going to make you but it’s important to me that I tell you because I know that you love and respect and only get mad because you want the best for me.” If your parents are already having a bad day, they may be even more prone to give you a negative response. Unless it is an emergency, wait for an appropriate time to approach your parents. Wait till you feel their mood is receptive and their day is relatively stress free.  For example, ask “May we talk or is now not a good time?” Going for a long drive or being out on a walk can be the perfect time; however, if you never find these opportunities you can simply make a good time. Make sure you know what you want to say ahead of time or write down key points to ensure that you don’t missing anything. You don’t want to get off guard and have your parents initiate a conversation that you aren’t ready for.
