article: Most people have heard the age-old advice "black is slimming" so many times that it's become a cliché. In fact, there's plenty of truth to the old saying. In general, the eye tends to focus on bright colors and ignore neutral shades like black, so wearing black clothes on your lower body in conjunction with brighter colors on your best features can direct attention away from your thighs and towards more appealing areas. Note, however, that the effect is lessened if you wear only black, as the crucial contrast between your dark pants and the rest of your body disappears. Another sure-fire way to make your thighs look thinner is to visually extend the bottom half of your body with pants that sit above your natural waist. Since the eye processes the entire pant length as a person's legs, high-waisted looks can give the impression that your legs are significantly longer (and thinner.) While high-waisted jeans at one point were seen as a painful reminder of 80s fashion, they're now actually somewhat en vogue again: see American Apparel's catalog or the wardrobe of modern style icons like Kendall and Kylie Jenner for examples. Thigh-slimming fashion isn't just limited to pants — even flowing garments like skirts and dresses are perfectly doable. The trick here is to choose garments that are longer and flowier than what you'd normally wear. The extra length gives the impression of long, straight lines flowing towards the floor, which minimizes any extra bulk in your thighs. Stay away from short, narrow skirts (i.e., miniskirts, pencil skirts, etc.) These fashion choices tend to emphasize the thighs, rather than downplay them. Plus, they show more of the thighs. Vertical stripes are a good choice for women looking to reduce their bulky thighs for the same reason that pinstriped suits are often recommended for men who want to appear slimmer. Vertical lines tend to lead the eyes upward and create the impression of a longer, slimmer figure — research has even confirmed this effect. By contrast, horizontal lines tend to have the effect of making someone appear slightly shorter and wider, so you may want to avoid them. Even something as simple as your choice of footwear can affect how your legs look. For instance, a moderate-length pair of heels lifts you up by a couple inches, making your body (and especially your legs) look a little longer than they actually are. In general, taller shoes are a good choice for anyone aiming to make themselves look a little slimmer. Another good idea is to pick a pair of heels that have a low-cut vamp. A "vamp" is the part at the front of the shoe that conceals your toes. The lower it is, the more your foot can be seen and the longer your leg will appear. Shapewear is type of garment designed to change your figure by lifting, pulling or pushing your body into shape. In ages past, this often meant tight, painful contraptions like corsets and girdles, but today, shapewear is usually much more gentle and is designed to give a more natural look. Shapewear should never be absolutely necessary, but if you're desperate to slim your thighs, it can definitely work.  Shapewear garments that have a slimming effect on the thighs include products with names like slip shapers, thigh slimmers, control briefs, and bodysuits.  If you do decide to go the shapewear route, don't overdo it. While gently, subtle shapewear can give your figure a boost, garments that squeeze tightly can actually harm you by compressing your internal organs. No matter what you're wearing, clothing that fits properly almost always looks better than clothing that doesn't. If you're worried about the way your thighs look in a certain dress or pair of pants, the problem may not be be with you — it may be with your clothes! Clothes shouldn't ever look or feel tight and restrictive, so if they do, you may want to consider taking the time to get your fit right. Talk to an employee at a clothing store (or a trusted friend) about finding a new outfit that fits better. For "nice clothes" like formal wear, you may even want to visit a tailor's shop to get your fit just right. Keep in mind, however, that this option can become somewhat expensive.

article: If you are quick to anger, you may do something in the heat of the moment that you'll regret later on. Consider the consequences of what you are about to do. Don't react; respond.  Try to grab hold of your anger and examine it. Ask yourself what exactly is making you so angry. Ask yourself if you are overreacting. Think through the consequences of your actions. If you react violently in this situation, will you burn any bridges? Will it negatively impact your relationships? Will you run the risk of being arrested, suspended, or otherwise punished for your actions. It's easy to be rough with other people if you don't consider how your actions might make them feel. Be careful.  If you find yourself hurting people without intending to do so, try to understand what it was that hurt them so. Is this person sensitive to a particular word or label? Did I grab their arm too hard without thinking? Consider treating others as if they are especially fragile, at least at first. Be as considerate as you can be without walking on eggshells. Try to understand why someone is acting the way they're acting: try to figure out how they feel and what they are thinking. You may find it much harder to be angry once you understand where someone's coming from.  If you can't understand why someone is acting a certain way, just ask them. Tell them what you don't understand, and listen carefully to their response. They may be just as confused about what you are thinking. Empathy is a two-way street. Try to be open about what you are thinking. Work to build a mutual understanding. You can change your own behavior, as well as how you react to things. For example, you can choose not to do things that trigger negative feelings in others. Additionally, you can work to overcome your own triggers. Anger is useful for understanding your feelings about something. If you feel angry, look for the reason why. For example, if your job makes you angry, then it may be time for you to apply for a new position. It's easy to become swept up in the day-to-day demands of work, school, relationships and family. Give yourself time to simply be yourself.  Get outside. Find a quiet space. Go for a walk or take a swim. Go to the movies. Get a massage or get your nails done. Do anything that allows you to forget your troubles for a while. Consider leaving your phone behind. You may find it easier to leave the troubles of day-to-day life behind if you are not being constantly bombarded with texts, calls, and emails. Be present. Reducing stress is fantastic for your health. If you're always stressed and often angry, you may be at risk for high blood pressure. Practice de-stressing, and you may live a longer, healthier life.  Avoid foods that make you feel more agitated or easily stressed. For example, caffeine can make you feel restless and antsy. Similarly, you may find that certain other foods stimulate you.

article:
Hold the chicken with one hand supporting the breast. Place it down so that its breast is carrying its weight and rests on the ground. Continue to hold its feet so the grand experiment can continue. You can place the chicken on its breast instead. Press gently down on its back, and gently move its legs back if it tries to stand up. Hold the bird down gently with one hand. Put one finger on your other hand just in front of its beak tip, without touching it. Move the finger backward to about 4 inches (10 cm) away, then back again. Repeat until the chicken stops moving or squawking. The chicken should be "hypnotized" and cease to struggle. It will lie there for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. If the chicken wasn't hypnotized, try this alternative. Using chalk, a stick, or your finger, draw a line on the ground 12" (30 cm) long. Start near the chicken's beak and draw the line slowly outward, in front of its head. Some people use a horizontal line in front of the chicken instead. Are chickens afraid of lines? Is there any reason this would work better than wiggling your fingers? Great minds still search for an answer. Be nice to your feathered friend and let it get back to its business. Clap your hands or give it a gentle shove until it jumps up and walks away.
