Help your siblings love themselves and feel confident. Do this by complimenting them when they've earned it. Focus on their positive qualities instead of their mistakes. You might say “Aaron, you play the violin so well.  I can tell you’ve been practicing.” Even the most confident of siblings sometimes struggle with some insecurities.  If your siblings are feeling down in the dumps or are worried about something, encourage them! Let them know that they can do anything they set their mind to and try to ease their fears. For instance, if they are worried about a test, say “Jess, I’ve seen you studying for weeks for that test.  You got this!  I’ll quiz you tonight if you want.” When your sibling needs you, be there for them. Helping can range from small things like getting something for them from the top shelf to helping them find a part-time job if they need extra cash. Never hold it over their head that you did something nice for them. This makes the nice act selfish because it becomes about you rather than them. When it's a holiday or your sibling's birthday, don't just get them something boring that could be for anyone; get them a gift that is perfect for them. Get them something that reminds you of a great time you had together in the past or things that you both enjoy doing. This will show them how much you care.  For instance, you might buy them a sweater or CD that you know they’d like. You can also make them a piece of artwork like a painting or you can clean their room for them as a gift. Show them that you care by surprising them with something nice, especially when they’re stressed or need a little extra help.  For example, if they have a hard test coming up and a lot of chores to do, help them do their chores to free up some time. If they have a fancy event coming up, let them borrow some of your clothes. You and your siblings should share whatever you can, whether it's a favorite computer game or family heirlooms. Be generous with each other, because if you can't be generous with your siblings then who will you be generous with?

Q: When it’s really hot outside, the best way to effectively water your garden is by using irrigation or soaker hoses. While these are slightly different from each other, they both deliver water slowly to the plants’ roots, which prevents evaporation and saves water.  Irrigation hoses use flexible plastic tubing that contains little holes. Water slowly drips from these holes into the soil. Soaker hoses are made of a porous material that water seeps through. Adding mulch to your garden will keep the soil protected from direct sun exposure and, as a result, allow the soil to stay moist for longer. You can use many different forms of mulch, but you’ll probably have the best results with a light-colored mulch, such as dried grass clippings, because it’ll reflect the sunlight. Use bark mulch around your shrubs. Wood mulch is great because it will shade the soil from the sun and break down over time, adding compost to your soil. During those hot summer months, it’s best to water your garden in the early morning before the sun starts beating down. If you wait until midday or even early afternoon, most of the water will likely evaporate before it travels to the plants’ roots. If you can’t water your plants in the morning, the early evening is another good time to water. Rainwater is a lot better for your plants than tap water because it contains all necessary natural minerals without any added chemicals. As a result, they’ll thrive better if watered this way, especially if they’re struggling in the heat. Consider installing a rainwater tank in order to collect enough rainwater to water your garden. These are relatively easy to install and are typically attached to your gutters. If you don’t want to deal with irrigation or soaker hoses, opt for hand watering your plants. This is much better than relying on sprinklers because sprinklers can sufficiently water specific areas of your garden that are in range and leave others completely dry. Longer grass can have a bit of a shading effect, which helps the soil retain moisture. In order for this to be effective, keep your grass at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) long. In extreme heat or during droughts, it’s best to have the grass closer to 6 inches (15.24 cm). Heat and sun exposure can cause transpiration on your overwatered plants, which can lead to leaf wilt. Additionally, when plants are watered too much, the excessive moisture in the soil can cause bacteria to develop, oxygen to be in short supply, and ultimately create fungal disease. Resist the urge to water your plants too much when it’s really hot outside. Your plants only really need to be watered if the soil is dry. To prevent overwatering, touch the soil to make sure it’s dry before you decide to water the garden. Pesky weeds that infest your garden can soak up all the water, leaving little for the plants in your garden that you want to keep nourished and hydrated. Weed your garden once a week for the best results, or twice a month at the bare minimum.
A: Use irrigation hoses and soakers. Use a light mulch. Water your plants in the morning. Water your garden with rainwater. Hand water your plants. Keep your lawn 3-6 inches (7.62-15.24 cm) long. Avoid over-watering your garden. Weed your garden regularly.

Article: Do this in a journal or a text document. This is particularly helpful if you're not entirely sure what you want to do, but just have a feeling about it. Writing regularly in a journal is a great way to keep in touch with yourself and to keep up to date on how you’re feeling. Many people claim that writing helps them clarify how they feel and what they want. Once you have an idea of what you want to do, do your research. Researching your goals will help you narrow down the best way to achieve them.  Reach out to people who have achieved goals similar to yours. They can provide you with helpful tips about what works, as well as what to avoid. Online forums like Reddit are a great place to look for discussions on most topics — particularly if you want an insider’s view on specific careers. Example: While writing your thesis you’re beginning to wonder what you’ll end up doing with it. Read about what others have done with similar degrees to the one that you’re pursuing. This might even help you gear your thesis towards publications or other opportunities that can help further your career. After you’ve done your research you’ll have a good sense of what each path and result will look like. This should make it easier for you to choose the path that will best serve you in achieving your goal. This includes being aware of things that may hinder you in your goals — in the case of thesis writing this may include mental exhaustion, lack of research, or unexpected work responsibilities. Your goals may change as you move toward them. Allow room for yourself, and as a result, your goals, to develop. That said, don’t just give up when it gets hard. There’s a difference between losing interest and losing hope!
