Problem: Article: After several years of marriage, maybe you find yourself saying "I'm not in the mood" more often than not. Next time, stop yourself before you say that, and think about why you aren't. Is it because you're tired? Then get more rest so you'll be in the mood! Are you kids asleep in the next room? You're going to have to get over it for the sake of your marriage. Find ways to get in the mood, because having regular sex is important in a marriage, and it certainly spices things up.  Think of sex as a form of stress relief. A lot of people don't feel like having sex because they have too many things to worry about. Having sex with your partner is one of the best ways to free your mind of worries for a little while. You'll feel closer and happier afterward, and you'll start turning to your partner for relief more often! Fatigue is another big reason why people aren't in the mood to have sex on any given night. Have sex anyway. It can be calm, slow, sleepy sex, but you should still do it. You've probably heard this one before, but that's because it works for so many people. Spicing up your sex life can be as easy as trying a different sexual position, wearing sexy lingerie when you normally don't, having sex in a different place (not always in your bed), or changing things in your bedroom to make it feel more sexy.  Try  tantric sex, a sensual, slow form of sex that encourages deep intimacy.   Role-playing in the bedroom can be an exciting way to change things up.   Talking dirty is an easy way to inject lots of spice into your sex life. It's great when sex can be spontaneous, but sometimes life gets in the way. If you have an extremely busy schedule and spend a lot of time meeting your kids' needs, you might let sex fall by the wayside. The solution is to set at least one night a week aside for a date night that involves sex. Spend time alone together doing something you enjoy and do your very best to be in the mood that night. Having regular sex will definitely make you feel closer to your partner and put the spark back in your marriage. Sometimes married couples have less sex because they lose confidence in their bodies over the years. Having kids and dealing with stress can take a toll. It's important to keep exercising, eating healthy, and dressing well so that you enjoy your own body and want to share it with your partner.  Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and avoid takeout and fast food. Go easy on the alcohol and choose water instead. Have a workout routine that involves both cardio and weightlifting. Have good hygiene habits and adjust to your changing body.
Summary: Get in the mood. Try new things in bed. Schedule a date night. Keep up your  body confidence.

Problem: Article: No matter what version of Word you are using, you’ll need to open the program first. Then you’ll want to click on the “New” file button. This is found in the top bar. You can do this in two different ways. There is a search bar. Type “flash card” is that search bar and the template will appear. Or you can go and find the “flash card” template amongst all the other templates provided in MS Word. Typically, there are several different flash cards templates to choose from. Some are more colorful than others. Some are plain white. Some have decorations. Choose the one that is the most appealing to you, but keep in mind that your flash cards should be easy to read. If some sort of decoration or color makes them difficult for you to use, you’ll want to avoid that template. Each template will tell you where the key term, concept or question should go and where you should put the necessary information. Use color to organize your notecards further. Simply highlight the text that you’d like to recolor and then click on the text color tab at the top of your program. Use a color that is still easy to read, but distinguishable from the other color that you’re using. For example, use black for the primary information and green, blue, red, purple, or brown for subsequent particulars on the same card. Flash cards won't help you much if they're stuck on your hard drive. Print them out on sturdy cardstock and cut them apart. You can punch a hole through one corner and string cards on a ring to keep them together. Then you can just flip through them as needed.
Summary: Open Microsoft Word and start a “New” document. Choose a flash cards template. Fill them out with the necessary information. Print out and cut up the flash cards.

Problem: Article: As the MC, you're the main attraction. You have to own the stage and get people excited about the show. The DJ's got to keep the beat moving and the hype-man is there to back you up, so the pressure's on.  Banter with the audience to get them invested. Cue the DJ to drop the beat and let people sing along once you've coached them on the chorus. If you want people to be into the music, you've got to be into it to. Move around, feel the beat, and look like you're excited to be on stage. If you stand stock-still at the mic stand and look like you're bored, people will look the same way in the crowd. If you're well prepared, you should feel confident in your abilities and in your music, so you can throw yourself into putting on the best possible show you can for the people. It's time to shine. Give them a performance they'll never forget.  Make sure you've got all your lyrics memorized and have practiced using the mic so you can be confident that all the technical aspects of the performance are going to go off without a hitch. It's hard to perform with confidence if you're trying to remember all the words. It's always important to do a mic check before performing. Part of the work of performance is being there before the show to make sure everything is set up and working as planned. Don't be a fake rock star and blow off the pre-show responsibilities. Be a professional. Always go on stage sober and well-rested. Save the partying for after the show. It'll be hard to get into your music if you're mush mouthed, too quiet, or muddy in the mix. Rap shouldn't sound like one of the adults from old Peanuts cartoons. Put your vocals up front and make sure it's loud enough to be heard from all corners of the room. If you have trouble keeping your voice up while you perform, practice reading magazines and books out loud to get your voice naturally into a louder register. It might annoy your roommates, but it'll be worth it to amp up your performance to where it needs to be. Both at your shows and online, be active about interacting with your growing fanbase. The MC will be the face of the crew, so you need to take the publicity side of the rap game seriously. Stay out after your gigs to meet people and sell any merch that you have, being friendly and available. Encourage people to come out to the gigs on social media and respond to people personally on Twitter and Facebook. Rappers, maybe more so than any other group of musicians, are known for taking control of their social media and working it to its fullest potential. You're just as likely to get signed to a record deal from a popular YouTube video as a successful mixtape.
Summary:
Get people pumped up and moving. Be confident on stage. Be clear, articulate, and loud. Keep in contact with your fans.
