Do you want to worry less? Of course you do, right? That's like me asking if I could send you free bacon. Worry is like black mold — it appears in damp conditions and spreads uncontrollably. And often times we don't realize it's there until it's killing us. We must get rid of worry before it destroys us. But how? {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 

    Do What You Need to Do.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} You ought not to avoid tough projects or hard conversions until the last moment. If you don't do what you should be doing, you will end up spending the rest of the time worrying about the must-do things. Believe it or not, the anxiety that comes from worrying is much worse than the task we're worried about.

    Get Intentional. 

    I think many of us act like we're puppets in a play and we're waiting for something or someone to put us in the right place. You just react to whatever is going on. We need to stop letting life just happen. We need to live on purpose. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 

    You can't have intentionality without making plans. Making plans will enable you to achieve your aims more smoothly. Yet, don't place your plans in stone. You can adjust your plans flexibly. Accept changes. Make new plans. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    There are other ways to lessen worry. As long as you are determined to take action, you will live a worry-free life.

A. Worry ruins creativity.

B. Make Plans

C. Do what you should be doing.

D. Here are some effective ways to deal with it.

E. Then move forward.

F. You do the same as people around you do.

G. Nothing can cause worry like purposelessness.

How to teach a child to respect

    As a child grows out of being an infant and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well.

●Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.

●{#blank#}2{#/blank#} The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

●Agree to disagree.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't equate to disobedience.

●Control your impulse to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

●Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.

B．Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you.

C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

D．If he sees you lose temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

F．When you see your child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.

G．Setting a good example is the best way to start a child on the path to respect.

Taking Care of Your Health While Traveling

    When you're often on the go, it is likely that your health will suffer. Here are a few simple ways you can keep on top of your health.

    ⒈{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    When you're travelling, your body will quickly begin to wear down. How much is enough sleep? It all depends on your body-listen to it.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Although you want to experience as much as possible when travelling, it is still important to rest.

    ⒉Don't forget to take plenty of water.

    Carry a water bottle with you everywhere and keep it filled up with fresh water. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, it will do your body a lot of good and keep you feeling your best.

    ⒊Eat healthier.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Yes, we get that you are on your holidays, but healthier choices will keep your body filled up with nutrients, which will make you feel better in the long-term.

    Make your own meals.

    Eating out each day isn't healthy for you so you should try and make your own meals where possible. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, but making a few healthy sandwiches in your hotel room is something you should be doing.

    College is the time when you're expected to focus on your path in life. But it's also the time you're the least equipped to have any long-term plan. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

The whole process can be divided into three stages.

    The first is "gathering fuel". This means building up your skills, learning from different experiences and developing a network of people who you trust and who trust you. And this is a stage that requires patience and a willingness to identify your own weaknesses and work on them. If you complete this stage with a growing sense of what you love to do and what you are good at, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    The second stage is "burning fuel". This is the time to improve the skills you've obtained through experiences, the people you've met along the way and the recognition of what you should do. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. We want to get where we're going in a hurry, but that hardly works.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Simply speaking, it's about staying strong, while turning an eye towards what lies ahead. It's a surprisingly long journey and most people underestimate it. You can't expect an ideal life to happen by itself. You must recognize that no matter where you are on the path, each step is there to teach you something, feeding you that fuel.

    If you're not doing what you want, you need more fuel — so go out and get it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A. you are winning

B. that will come true

C. The last part is "saving fuel"

D. The final part is "filling fuel"

E. Here are some tips on how to aim your sights into the future

F. It seems that most of us try to jump straight to the next stage

G. And if you're doing what you want, keep moving and don't settle
