Summarize the following:
Do not take speaking less to mean not asserting and expressing yourself. If you have a serious concern, or an opinion you feel is important, do not hesitate to speak up. Part of speaking less is knowing when it is valuable to share.  For example, if you're going through a serious problem in your personal life, it's okay to share with others if you need support. It's also important to share if your opinion could be valuable. If you, say, have a strong opinion about something at work, it can be beneficial to share with your boss and co-workers. Eye contact is important. However, constant eye contact can come off as too intense. People do tend to associate eye contact with confidence and attentiveness, but overdoing it may make you appear distrustful. It's appropriate to hold someone's eye contact for about 7 to 10 seconds and then look away for a moment. Eye contact may also be less appropriate in certain cultures. Asian cultures may find eye contact disrespectful. If you're meeting someone from a different culture, make sure to read up on social etiquette surrounding eye contact. Everyone has opinions and their own sense of what's right and normal. When you're listening very attentively to another person, they may sometimes say things you take issue with. However, while you're listening, it's important to keep judgment behind. If you find yourself making judgments about someone, pause and remind yourself to focus on the words. You can analyze information later. When listening, just focus on the speaker and leave judgment behind.

summary: Express yourself when necessary. Do not overdo eye contact. Keep an open mind when listening.


Summarize the following:
When it’s cold out, it’s time to switch up your night clothes. Swap out cotton for some flannel pajamas. You can buy flannel tops and bottoms, as well as night shirts. Flannel is a great insulator that will help you retain your body heat. Look for a fun or cute print to liven up your flannel wardrobe. Looser is generally better when it comes to sleepwear. You probably move around during your sleep, and it’s best to wear clothing that will easily move with you. Look for loose clothing, but make sure you won't get tangled up in it if you toss and turn. If you wear pajama pants, make sure that the elastic is loose and breathable. Your feet might be one of the coldest parts of your body. To help keep your whole body toasty, keep your feet warm by sleeping in socks. Choose socks that feel comfortable to you. Make sure they’re not too big or floppy. You don’t want them coming off in the middle of the night! If flannel doesn’t seem to be keeping you warm enough, consider adding additional layers of clothing. You could try a thermal t-shirt underneath your pajama top. You can also add a pair of form fitting leggings underneath your pants or night shirt. If you get cold during the night, add another layer. If you get too hot, just peel one off. A lot of your body heat can escape through your head. If you’re really cold, consider wearing a hat to bed. You can wear a ski cap or even a hunter’s style cap with ear flaps. Whatever feels good to you is the right hat. You could choose to wrap a scarf around your head (not your face) as an alternative to a hat.
summary: Wear flannel pajamas. Pay attention to fit. Wear socks. Try layers. Cover your head.
