The earlier you return to your normal pattern of interaction with your friend, the easier and less awkward it will be between the two of you. Returning to the normal way you spend time with them will show you’ve accepted and moved on from the rejection. Avoiding each other will only increase awkwardness and keep you both from returning to friendship. You’ll want to return to your normal ways of communicating and spending time with your friend, with a few exceptions. Now that you’re trying to rebuild your friendship, you might want to do some things differently so as to avoid catching feelings again. If there’s too much pressure to act differently around each other, you may not be able to rekindle the friendship. Some boundaries to set include:  Avoid flirtatious behavior, touching, and sexual innuendo. Be careful when talking about their love life and dating other people. Avoid holding out hope that they’ll change or fall in love with you later. Make sure you make time for other interests and activities. Explore other friendships and dating other people. This will help you move on from any feelings you had for your friend. Be sure to develop other friendships where you can discuss love and dating more openly than you might with your friend. Explore what made you decide to try to take your friendship beyond its current status. Reexamine if you read too much into their behavior, if you typically fall for friends or others who aren’t really available to you, or if you developed too much intimacy with your friend too soon. Talk about these patterns with a counselor or a friend who knows you well so that you can prevent falling for your friend again, or falling for another friend. These patterns could occur because:  You've been hurt in the past and are scared of real commitment. You want to protect yourself from future rejection in a relationship by choosing someone who is already unavailable or uninterested. You don't believe you're deserving or worthy of love. Take heart in the fact that your crush on your friend has taught you what you value in a relationship. You’ve learned what you appreciate in a significant other and what’s attractive to you. Apply that knowledge to other relationships. Learn to grow the intimacy you’ve shared with your friend in other relationships.

Q: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. If you are right-handed, shift the left side of your body forward towards the bag and lift the heel of your right foot. If you are left-handed, shift the right side of your body forwards towards the bag and lift the heel of your left foot. Maintain a slight bent in the knees. Pull your hands up towards your face while keeping your shoulders and elbows down. When completing drills, you will not remain static in the starting stance. You will circle the bag. Walk around the bag--don’t jump or cross your feet. Keep a slight bend in the knees and your hands up by your face. The key to a safe and effective heavy bag workout is to hit the bag, not push the bag. Instead of throwing a pushing punch--meaning you are attempting to push your hand all the way through your target--you should throw snap punches while training.Snap punches allow you to conserve energy while hitting harder and moving faster. When throwing a snap punch, your wrist will snap back from the impact of hitting the bag. Assume the starting stance. Make a fist, placing the thumb on the outside of your hand. If you are right-handed, extend your left arm forward; if you are left-handed, extend your right arm forward. As you extend, keep your wrist straight and your elbow slightly bent. Draw the arm back to the starting position. You will throw the cross with your power hand--your dominant hand. Assume the starting position. Pivot on the heel of your dominant foot and rotate the leg and the hip. As you rotate, extend your arm. Your dominant arm should retain a slight bent at the elbow. Keep the opposite hand near your face for protection. Draw the arm, hip, leg, and heel back to the starting position. Assume the starting stance. Pivot on the heel of your non-dominant foot. Turn through the leg and hip. As you pivot, extend your non-dominant arm horizontally across your body. Elevate your elbow slightly. Hold your dominant hand near your face for protection. Draw the arm back to the starting position. The 1-2 combo is a series of two linked punches. First, through the jab. Immediately after returning to the starting stance, throw a cross. Draw the arm back to the starting position. The 1-2-3 combo is a series of three linked punches. Like the 1-2 combo, you will first throw a jab. This will be followed by a hook. The last punch in the series is a cross.
A: Master the stance. Learn the walk. Hit the bag properly. Practice the jab. Try the cross. Master the hook. Try the 1-2 Combo. Learn the 1-2-3 Combo.

Article: Sleep paralysis can be terrifying, and you may feel the need to fight against it, especially if you feel as though you are being held down. But the best thing you can do is to try and relax. If you feel like you are being held down, don't try to push against the force — allow yourself to be pushed. This may help you wake up or slip into a dream. Try memorizing a statement like, “I am in sleep paralysis, a natural condition, and I am in no danger.” Repeat the affirmation if sleep paralysis occurs while going to sleep or waking up. Understanding sleep paralysis may help you to relax when it occurs — if you know and understand what is happening, and that it is only temporary, it may be easier for you to relax when it happens. Sleep paralysis can be a sign of a rare condition called narcolepsy, but it is usually not indicative of a serious disorder. When you are asleep you experience something called "atonia," which is your brain keeping your body still and relaxed (possibly so you don't act out what is happening in your dream and injure yourself or others.) Sleep paralysis is when you are aware of is state.  Scientists believe sleep paralysis may occur when you do not smoothly transition out of REM sleep You may experience hallucinations, including thinking someone is in the room with you or holding you down. Remind yourself that these are just hallucinations, and a normal part of sleep paralysis, and you are not in danger. Some people may be able to break the paralysis by moving an extremity. Try focusing all your attention on your toes or fingers and try to wiggle them or make a fist. Another method is to try scrunching up your face as though you just smelled something foul. Repeat these actions several times and you may be able to wake yourself up. If you share a bed with someone, talk to him about what you are experiencing. He may be able to help you wake up from an episode of sleep paralysis. If your partner notices you breathing heavily and irregularly, ask him to shake you awake. This may or may not work — your partner may end up just waking you from normal sleep, but it's worth a try. Most people cannot speak while experiencing sleep paralysis, but talk to your partner about signaling him when you are having an episode. If you focus on your throat you may be able to whisper "Help" or cough, which can signal your partner to wake you up.
