How to increase a chance to have a baby Girl?

If you are not interested in genetic engineering or artificial insemination, there is no certain way of conceiving one gender versus the other. There are, however, various theories about how to increase your chances of a specific gender. Selecting Gender According to surveys more than 90% of expectant parents have a preference in regard to their unborn child’s gender. The reasons behind the preferences are varied, and when parents don’t get their wish, they adapt and are overjoyed to welcome any new baby to their home. But if you are ready for a girl and want to try to tip the scales, here’s how:  The Shettles Method Doctor Shettles penned the most popular method designed to increase the chances of a female. Before beginning the method, you must understand the rationale behind it. Women produce an egg every month during ovulation. The egg is always carrying an X chromosome. Two Xs make a girl and one X (the egg) plus one Y make a boy. Men are responsible for the second X or Y. Each sperm is assigned one chromosome. When a male ejaculates, he sends 200-400 million sperm into the vagina that immediately begin searching for the released egg. Out of those millions, only one sperm gets the prize, and the chromosome of that one unites with the X of the egg, and the miracle has begun. The Shettles method offers instruction on how to get more X-carrying sperm to the egg and beat out the Ys.  Conceiving a Girl To actively work at conceiving a girl, you must know your cycle. Chart your cycle for a couple of months to see what day you begin your period and what day you are ovulating. You can do this using an ovulation kit or basal temperature. Then, once you know the day you will ovulate, begin having sex immediately following the end of your period. Have sex at least once a day until two or three days before ovulation. Then stop. (Sorry, guys.) Y-carrying sperm swim faster than X-carrying sperm. The boy-makers also tend to die out more quickly. By stopping three days before ovulation, you are ensuring the only sperm left waiting around for the released egg are the longer-lasting, slow-swimming X-carriers. (Sperm can live up to 5-7 days inside a woman’s body.) When the remaining sperm meet up with the egg, it is far more likely an X sperm will get the honors.  Doctor Shettles also suggests having sex in the missionary position to deposit sperm as close to the entrance of the vagina as possible. He also suggests the woman not orgasm during sex (Sorry, girls.) An orgasm can make the vaginal environment alkaline which can kill off sperm more quickly preventing any pregnancy.

How to Tighten Pelvic Floor Muscles After Childbirth?

Pregnancy and childbirth are almost sure to weaken that oh-so-important muscle group, the pelvic floor. The weight of a growing baby puts pressure on it, and with a vaginal delivery, you can experience bruising, stretching, and tears of the delicate tissues. The end result? Slack tone, and possibly, incontinence! No need to worry, though, because it's fairly easy to regain lost tone.   Step1 Everyone has heard of the Kegel exercise. It is the single most important thing you can do for your pelvic floor. You can do them before birth (it might even make delivery easier!) You can, and should, do them immediately after delivery. Because the tissues are so traumatized, you may have difficulty, or you may not be able to feel what you're doing. That's ok- do them anyway. If you have never done Kegels before, find the correct muscles by stopping and starting the flow of urine. Once you know what you're supposed to be contracting, do slow contractions several times a day. You may only be able to hold it for a few seconds at first, but as the muscles become stronger, you'll be able to hold the contraction longer. The biggest obstacle for most women is remembering to do them! Don't worry, no one will be able to tell you're Kegeling- do them in the car, at work, and while watching TV.  Step2 The Gyneflex is a device used to provide resistance while you're Kegeling. It is similar to the difference between doing a pushup, and doing a pushup while someone sits on your back! Using a Gyneflex can get you back to your old self (or better) much faster than simply doing Kegels. Choose the appropriate resistance ("light" is probably best immediately post-partum) and lubricate the device with KY Jelly or a similar lubricant. Proceed with your Kegel exercises as usual. Step3 Ben wa balls are weighted balls that can also be used to strengthen the pelvic floor. Lubricate and insert, then wear them around the house while you putter around. Wear a panti-liner (the lubricant can be messy). Just like when you wear a tampon, your vagina will contract to hold the balls in place. Eventually, you will be able to hold the balls inside all day, if you like! Step4 Another fun exercise can be done during intercourse. Squeeze the penis as tightly as possible with the vaginal muscles, then relax. Repeat and enjoy! Vary the depth and angle of penetration to ensure all the vaginal muscles get a good workout. Some women are able to bring their man to climax with just these contractions, no thrusting necessary! Step5 Don't stop exercising your pelvic floor once you achieve the desired tone. Like any muscle, it can atrophy with disuse.

How to find the right hairstyle for you

Some studies have been done that show 77% of women have the wrong hairstyle for their face. Are you one of those ladies with the wrong hairstyle?

Instructions

Step1

If you are considering changing your look then there are simple ways to find the best hairstyle that will compliment your face. First of all you are going to want to consider these simple questions before getting another hairstyle.How much time do you have on a daily basis to manage your hair styling routine?Do you have the right equipment to create the look at home?How much money can you spend to maintain your hairstyle?

Step2

Now that you have considered the amount of time that you can spend on your hair daily as well as the amount it will cost in maintaining it, now you can look at the styles that are suitable for you. There are things that you can do to create different looks but what looks good on one person will not look so good on another. You can not change your face shape so you have to learn to work with it. Certain styles look better on certain face shapes. Here are some of the best looks for certain face shapes.

Step3

Round face ~ Long hairstyles work best for your shape. Long hair elongates a round face and can be more flattering than short cuts are on you. Layers in particular will look better the all one length. Layers work well for all face shapes but be more flattering on round faces since it elongates your face. Wavy hair also can help create a beautiful look on round faces. Also hairstyles that give fullness and height at the crown will draw attention up and elongate your face.

Step4

* Avoid slick up-do hairstyles that have no hair whatsoever hanging down around your face since they will make your face appear wider then normal. Even just having an up-do with some curls coming down can make flatter your look. Chin length hair with rounded lines are also not very good for flattering your face structure. They make your face appear to be rounder.

Step5

Square face ~ Haircuts that emphasize your cheekbones at mid-line of the face are the most flattering to your face structure. Wearing your hair coming forward will help to reduce the squareness of your face. Bangs also flatter you face and will help create a softer look to your overall appearance.* Avoid long straight style that accentuate your square jawbone. Center parts are also not flattering for your face structure. Try side parts instead to soften your look.

Step6

Rectangle face ~ Short to medium lengths will look great for you as with fullness at the sides of your face and at your eyes and your cheekbones. Bangs also look good on you since they will help shorten the length of your face. Layers will look great with your face structure as well.* Avoid center parts, try using only side parts. Center parts will draw attention to the middle of your face and make your face appear longer then it is.

Step7

Triangle face ~ Chin length haircuts or longer cuts are best for your face structure. Shags and Wedge haircuts go well with your face. Your face shape is one where tucking hair behind your ears will flatter you, because it draws attention to your eyes and add width to your face.* Avoid long, full hairstyles that draw attention to jaw line since it will not flatter your face structure. Also center parts are not for you, it will draw attention to the middle of your face make it appear to be longer then it really is.

Step8

Heart face ~ A chin length bob will look great on you. Fullness on the bottom will add width to your chin. Center parts also look great on you.* Avoid too much height at the crown since it will not flatter your face structure. Slicked back looks also will not flatter you since it will draw attention to your face shape.

Step9

I hope that these tips are useful to you in finding the right hairstyle for you. Certain looks just look better on certain face shapes, so next time you go to get a new hairstyle consult for awhile with your hair stylist and ask them any questions that you have. Getting the best hairstyle for your face will help you look your best and feel your best to when you get compliments by those around you!

Enjoy Living in Your Own Area

Sometimes it can be hard to like where you live. But don't think of moving yet! At least try to see the town for it's best before you consider the big decision.courtest:wikihow.com







Visit the historical sites. If you live in Savannah, Georgia, there's the Juliet Gordon Low house that is super cool. But if you have small children, don't take them to any places that are thought to be haunted. If you live in Saint Augustine and take them to the military hospital and fort, that's fine, just as long as it's the morning and early afternoon, even late afternoon can get really creepy.



Go to parts of town you haven't been before. It can be so much as a store you've never been to, as long as you see your city as a whole. If you don't want to go to any of the bad parts of town where there's a lot of crime that's okay.



Get active in the community. Volunteer at the animal shelter or soup kitchen, be in community plays, or even just watch one. It can change your whole view when you are active in a community.



Try out a new restaurant. You can also start as a community food critic and blog on a website.



Go to a festival. Art festivals, film festivals, or even the farmer's market works.



Just get involved! Just being part of a community and town, no matter how small, is a great feeling, and can be good for your health too.



Warnings



Do go into any parts of town that's known for crime.



It is not worth the risk of them getting traumatized by one little thing, wouldn't it? Don't take small children to a haunted place! You can traumatize them if they see or hear anything. Even if they want to, don't.

How to Get Back in Shape After Having a Baby

Okay, if you are one of those women who only gained 15 pounds went you got pregnant, and then this isn't for you. See, I've been in pretty darn good shape my whole life - never overweight, worked out regularly and ate healthy. But damn! When I got pregnant I stayed on the regular exercise and healthy eating and still gained FIFTY POUNDS!!! I was shocked. I didn't feel fat, just pregnant. And I felt pretty darn sexy and womanly. And I thought for sure I would leave all that weight at the hospital. But I didn't. So here's some of what I learned about taking it off.

Things You’ll Need:
Patience
Self-discipline
Hope

Step1
Let your body heal. Whether a vaginal or c-section birth, your body needs to recuperate. This can be a heartbreaking time because you are really seeing your body for the first time without this awesome belly, and realizing UH OH, it is pretty far off from what you started from. That's okay. Give yourself time to heal and get into the rhythm of your baby.
Step2
Figure out the logistics of exercise. Everyone is different - you are staying at home, you are back at work, you have multiple kids. For each person, there is a plan. Trust me. It is just a matter of figuring out what works for you. A treadmill, a used jogging stroller, an old workout DVD.
Step3
Just 30 minutes. If you can give that to yourself everyday, that would be ideal. If you try for it everyday and wind up with 3-4 times a week, that's good. Finding time for you can feel impossible, but I promise, it's not. I come home from work and take my daughter for a walk for 20-30 minutes. It is my time to come down from the work day. 

Sometimes my husband will watch her in the morning so I exercise. I know you are exhausted. But here is the secret - exercising every day actually gives you more energy. Try it. You can live better on the 4-6 hours of sleep you are getting every night and the 10-12 hours your are working every day as a full time mom or working outside the home.
Step4
Take time to tone too. Burning off the fat is made all the easier by building muscle mass. And as much as we all wish we had the personal trainers and nannies of the Caleb moms, most of us don't. So to keep it simple. Start with 25 push ups and sit ups. Then tack on 5-10 more a week and work your way up to 100. If you can actually break away and take a yoga or toning class, the entire better.
Step5
Watch your eating. When you are pregnant, you are encouraged to indulge, and most of us do. But the good thing about eating during pregnancy is that you learn more about nutrition than ever before because you become hyper-aware of what you are putting into your body. Keep up this practice, because now you need to take care of you for YOU. Continuing to eat healthy, fresh foods without hydrogenated soybeans or refined sugar is great. Just cut the portions in HALF so you can ultimately burn more calories than you eat...the only sure-fire way to lose weight.
Step6
Give yourself time. Your body isn't going to look just like it did before you got pregnant right away. I've still got that last damn five pounds and my daughter is almost a year old. But I'm active, I'm healthy and I know I'll get there. You will too.

Your Chances of Having Twins

What factors predispose couples to have twins? Here are some interesting findings.

Genetics
If you are a woman whose mother, sister, maternal aunt or maternal grandmother had fraternal twins, this trait may have been passed to you. Fraternal twins can only be conceived if a woman releases two eggs at ovulation, and this trait has been genetically predetermined in some people.

Age
If you are a woman between the ages of 35 - 39, you are more likely to conceive twins. This likelihood increases more after 40, but mostly because women are using fertility treatments at that age. Women over 35 may release more than one egg at ovulation because their cycles are being disrupted by per menopause.

Previous Pregnancies
The more previous pregnancies and births a woman has experienced, the more likely twins will be in subsequent pregnancies. If a woman has conceived twins (especially fraternal twins) before, she is more likely to have them again.
Race/Ethnicity
In the United States, people of African descent have a higher incidence of twins than Caucasians, who have a higher rate of twinning than Asians. Native Americans have a slightly lower incidence than Asians, and Hispanics have the lowest rate of twinning.

Weight/Height
Obese women, especially those with a body mass index over 30, tend to conceive twins more often, but also have higher risk pregnancies because of the excess weight. Taller women are also more likely to conceive twins.

Diet/Nutrition
There is some scientific evidence that eating animal products, especially dairy, increases a woman's chances of conceiving twins. Vegan women who eat no dairy have a very low rate of twin conception. Women whose diets are high in folate seem to conceive twins more often, as do those who eat yams or other products high in natural estrogen-like compounds. Women in the Yoruba tribe in Africa have a phenomenal rate of twinning, and consume yams as a major part of their diet. Once twins have been conceived, consuming a healthy, adequate diet is essential for the proper development of the babies as well.

Environment
Strangely enough, some studies have found that living near a polluted area increases a woman's chances of having twins. Breastfeeding Women who are breastfeeding when they get pregnant again (often accidentally!) are more likely to conceive twins.

Infertility
As those who have been through the infertility process know, both infertility drugs and IVF increase a couple's chances of a multiple pregnancy

How to Date and Still Be a Good Mom

If you're recently single, you might wonder how you can balance your desire for a romantic relationship with the requirements of your children. Your dating habits can set the tone for your children's future relationships, both positive and negative. You must set a good example for your children while meeting your needs.

Step1
Wait until the right moment to introduce your children to your date. Your kids don't need to meet every man you date. When you feel the dating turning into a relationship, it's time to include the children.

Step2
Be truthful with your children. Although your intimate life is private, if your teenager sees your dates spending the night and you teach values that prohibit premarital sex, you're sending mixed messages.

Step3
Expect children to vacillate in their acceptance of your dates. Sometimes children like the date in the beginning, but feel threatened as the relationship progresses and they have to "share" their mother with another adult.

Step4
Maintain your priorities. Although you shouldn't be a martyr, you must keep your children's needs in first place. Scheduling a romantic getaway the same weekend as your daughter's piano recital reflects questionable decision-making and may hurt or offend your child. It also sets up the "him or me" situation you want to avoid.

Step5
Don't give too much weight to the advice of others who may have a bias. Your family and friends might have trouble with your new role as a dating mom. Only you can decide what's best for you and your children.

Step6
End the relationship if it's not working for you. If you maintain an unhappy relationship because your children adore the man, you risk repeating another failed marriage. Learning to cope with loss serves as a part of a child's life experience.

Ladies How To Find Out if Your Man Is Cheating?

I can tell you both MEN and WOMEN do cheat but MEN do cheat more than women. Why is this? It’s because that is how it is. Easy…easy it’s like this WOMEN think of LOVE first while MEN think of SEX first.
Now ladies down here are ways you can find if your Man is cheating. Keep in mind that some men are very smart and its tough to find out.

Step1
If all of a sudden your man starts asking you where you're going to be and when you're coming home, that might be a red flag. If he makes up excuses to leave the house, like for example work called or he makes up a reason to go to the store at some odd hour and is gone way longer than he should be, that is also cause for wonder. Especially if he leaves right after receiving a mysterious phone call.

Step2
If you receive a lot of calls that hang up after you answer, that could be a bad sign.

Step3
If your man starts behaving strangely. If he starts telling you that he feels you're not making love to him enough when you know you are etc etc, this should be a concern. Often when a man (or even a woman for that matter) is cheating, they attempt to justify their actions to make them feel less guilt. If you see this kind of behavior keep your eyes open.

Step4
Pay attention to unusual smells he may have. Particularly the smell of an usual place or the smell of perfume that's NOT yours. Also be suspicious if he rushes off to shower right after coming home or if he smells like he's just had a fresh shower.

Step5
Start literally listen through walls. Pay attention to everything. Listen to his phone conversations or his talk with friends. You can even get a voice activated tape recorder and leave it in places such as his study or even in the car. You can take his cell phone and call yourself. This will act as a great spy device until he has to use his cell or until the cell loses signal.

Step6
Keep record of everything. Places he goes, like for example his friend's addresses. Keep as much information as you can. You never know when you might need to know something in order to catch him in the act.

Step7
If he's out super late, try calling hotels and asking for him. I know it would seem stupid to check in with his own name but men can be total morons.

Step8
Check his car for evidence. Long hair on the seat. The seat or seatbelt is readjusted etc. Cigarettes in the ashtray with lipstick on it. Women ALWAYS leave something behind. A hair clip, brush or even articles of clothing. Leave no stone left un turned and use your imagination. Check around for hand drawn maps or directions.

Step9
Pay attention to how good your man is looking. If he's dressing to impress, make sure it's for you.

Step10
Keep tabs on how much money he's spending and on what. If large amounts of money is disappearing that is unaccounted for, start asking questions.

Step11
Find out how far away his work is by driving there and back. Check the mileage on your car so you know the distance. Take a note pad and pencil and record your boyfriend/husbands mileage daily. If he takes a little long getting home, ask somewhat casually what took him so long and ask him specifically if he stopped off someplace. 

Step12
While he's taking a shower, go through his pockets and wallet. There should be tons of evidence there. Most men are really stupid about hiding things that will get them busted. If you find phone numbers, call them and find out who they are. Also look for other evidence like condoms or pictures. Check his cell phone. Look at all the calls he's made and received lately. Smell his clothing and check his underwear for any obvious fresh stains.

Step13
When you say you're going to be gone for a certain length of time, show up early! If your man says he's working overtime at work, visit his job once in a while.

Step14
Or you can hire a private investigator they are many nowadays. If your stack along the way and you feel like you need assistance email us and will assist you accordingly.

Survive Overthinking

When faced with stressful periods in their life people react in many different ways. One common way is over thinking or over analysing a situation which is then aggravated by the mental exhaustion that follows. wikihow.com







Stop reading this article! An unusual opening line to an article but if you are reading this then you are already probably on the road to overthinking.



Write everything down. It doesn't have to be structured, just get it all down on paper. An unpleasant image but you need to mentally 'vomit'. Putting pen to paper is the equivalent of putting your fingers down your throat. Once you have exhausted yourself writing, you will find that the pattern of continuously re-visiting arguments and counter arguments will abate a little. You may well even get to sleep tonight.



Do not believe you have gone mad. You are not alone. Other people may look composed and calm on the outside but there is a very good chance that behind closed doors these people are subjecting themselves to a rather heated internal dialogue as well. It's natural, the trick is to try and keep it spiralling out of proportion.



Do something that requires you to concentrate. Not driving, not walking, not running it is far too easy to go onto autopilot and start re-visiting arguments and counter arguments. Playing an instrument, learn to speak German mein lieblings , competitive team sports, anything that requires you to have to actively engage your brain.



Think Black. If you are lying in bed and your brain is humming like a powerline, try to imagine you are in a vacuum, you are powering off your brain like a computer... or if that doesn't work, try to think of only the colour black!



Talk Shows not Music. If it's heartbreak that's causing you to overthink then listening to music can often be the worst thing to do. Go for talk shows, something that engages your mind rather than something that causes you to lament. If you are currently listening to Total Eclipse of the Heart or Nothing Compares to You, turn it off NOW.



Avoid alcohol. Just don't do it. It is a depressant and no matter what you think at the time, the grand conclusions you will have come to in your head will be shaky at best.



Cliche Time. Yes, it's a dreadful cliche but time is the greatest healer. Whether it be a tongue lashing from the boss at work or the trials and tribulations of being in love, the situation will become less raw over time. Over analysis will not solve anything, it will only slow down time rather than speed it up.



Get the Balance Right with your friends. It is important to talk to someone about the situation you are facing but your friends can be too sympathetic and it will cause you to re-visit a situation multiple times. This can lead you into a bout of wallowing in self pity. Think about which of your friend's 'shoots from the hip' their advice is valuable and might kick you out of the martyrdom rut!



Laugh at Yourself. There is a very good chance that you are over egging the pudding! Your boss is probably not the sadistic ogre that you have painted them as, the row that you have just had with your partner is probably not the raging battle between 'Heaven and Hell' that you have created in your mind. Look at your problems through an independent observer's eyes and decide whether the end of the world is really nigh.



Good Luck to You all. Over analysis and over thinking really can be debilitating, I wish you all the best and hope you have found this article useful.

Getting a clear and lovely skin

Introduction
A clear complexion is possible if you take care of your body internally and your skin externally. While a good diet helps you have clear skin, heredity, your immune system, environmental factors and your skin care routine all play a role in getting clear skin. 

There are many things a person can do to improve the skin from the inside out. While you cannot get clear skin overnight, there are steps you can take on a daily basis to improve your complexion and get the beautiful skin you want.

A Healthy Diet, Vitamins and Minerals
A good diet with the necessary nutrients supplies the body with the materials it needs to repair and renew skin cells. The best diets include proteins, fats and carbohydrates in a healthy balance. There are also vitamins and minerals a person needed to have good skin. 

Eating foods rich in these vitamins or taking supplement is one way to get these nutrients. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin. Vitamin C fights all kinds of infections and is a strong antioxidant that removes toxins. Vitamin E is another good skin vitamin. It is an antioxidant and is useful in reducing scars. Zinc is also recommended for good skin. 

Taking the herb echinacea improves the immune system so the body can fight skin disease, acne and cold sores. Cleaning the body internally is an excellent way to detoxify the body. Many alternative health practitioners believe that the toxins in the body cause diseases. 

By eliminating these toxins, the skin (and body) becomes healthier. The skin is the largest organ, and it reflects the overall health of the body. A fast is another way to clean the body. It gives the body the energy to clean itself by removing the buildup of wastes and toxins. Another way to clean the system is to drink lots of water each day to flush away the impurities. A healthy body is the best way to get clear skin.

Take Care of Your Skin
While eating a balanced diet is good for the skin, caring for your skin externally is equally important. Keep the face clean by using a cleanser that is formulated for your skin type. 

Skin can be oily, dry, normal or combination. After washing your face, use a toner to restore the skin's natural pH balance. Removing dead skin cells with an exfoliant or scrub gives you a smooth complexion and cleans out the pores. Clogged pores can lead to breakouts. While oily skin is most prone to breakouts, dry skin can get them also. For dry or normal skin use a moisturizer. The more hydrated your skin, the less likely it will wrinkle. 

The sun also causes wrinkles. Too much sun exposure leads to damaged skin, premature aging, wrinkles and age spots. A sunblock is needed to protect your skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. After the sun goes down, it is necessary to remove all your makeup before going to bed. See a dermatologist if you have a skin condition that doesn't resolve itself in a few weeks. Getting clear skin and keeping it is a lifetime endeavor, but it is worth it.

8 Things Guys Notice About You Instantly

You know that look where his eyes slide past you...then turn back? Wouldn’t it be great to know what stopped him? You totally can. “There are a few things men instantly observe when they meet a woman,” says Jackie Black, PhD, author of Meeting Your Match. Learn what they are and you can maximize your, um, assets. Then you’ll have your pick.

1. How Thick Your Hair Is
This is all about evolution. Since caveman days, dudes have been drawn to lush locks, which signal that a woman is healthy (translation: shaggable).

2. If Your Smile Is Genuine
Sometimes your eyes crinkle a bit when you grin. Most men are good at distinguishing the vibe of this kind of smile, which says you’re relaxed and fun.

3. The Size of Your Group
You don’t want a big bunch (it’ll be hard for him to approach) or just one friend (he’ll figure you wouldn’t desert her to talk to him). The perfect crew size? Three. Your two buds can keep each other company when you slip away.

4. The Pitch of Your Voice
Studies show that men are drawn to voices in a slightly higher register (think Kristin Bell’s), probably because — yep, evolution — they’re reliable signs of youth and reproductive health.

5. Your Hip-to-Waist Ratio
Yet again, blame eons of human history. Men instinctually look for baby mamas. If your waist is noticeably smaller than your hips, it signifies fertility — a huge point in your favor. A wide belt will emphasize that hourglass shape.

6. Your Glowiness
Guys associate a radiant complexion with good mental health. That’s because stress and anxiety usually cause breakouts and dull skin. So those lotions and bronzers you sweep over your cheeks? Totally worth it.

7. What’s Fake About You
Not personality-fake, but artificial-accoutrement- fake: lashes, hair extensions, etc. To guys, these things shout high-maintenance! Not good.

8. Your Eyes
People focus on eyes more than they do on any other body part. And dramatic eye makeup will have him zeroing in on your peepers even more.

Overcome Your Fears Through Visualization

Your imagination can be a powerful tool for confronting your fears. Through various methods, you can change a big, overpowering fear into something small and manageable. courtesy:wikihow.com.







Steps:



Find a comfortable place where you can imagine free from distractions. Your bedroom or a quiet location outside on a nice day are some good options.



> Choose the visualization listed below that best suits your fear.



> Imagine your chosen scenario. Go over it again and again until you're satisfied and familiar with what you've imagined.



> Continue imagining your scenario regularly so you don't forget it. Now that you've imagined it once, you can easily bring it up again any time or any place.



> Put yourself in a relatively low stress situation where you have to face your fear.



> Recall your visualization as many times as needed to stay calm.



> Challenge yourself more. When you feel comfortable with the low-pressure situation, start putting yourself in more challenging situations until you have conquered your fear.



Comforting Visualization



> Imagine your feelings of fear as something inside of you that you can see, such as a ball of light.



> Take your fear out of you.



> Change your fear into something you would want to take care of, like a baby animal or a small child.



> Comfort your fear. Pat, soothe, or reassure it. Give it treats or play with it if you want. Whatever you feel like doing to make your fear happy and unafraid.



Hero Visualization



> Imagine your fear as a character, whatever type you think suits it best.



> Now imagine a character to combat your fear. It can be anything, a strong figure like a superhero or wrestler, a character appropriate to the fear (like a stilt walker to take on your fear of heights), or just something you like, such as a kitten or a even a bowl of ice cream.



> Imagine your hero character conquering your fear. The fight can be simple, lengthy, or just plain silly. All that matters is that your hero beats your fear.



Shrinking Visualization



> Imagine your fear as something very large: a monster, an animal, a huge person, or whatever.



> Have your fear say some of the things that go through your head when you start to feel afraid.



> As your fear is talking, shrink it down or change it into something smaller than you.



> Get back at your fear. Yell at it. Make faces at it. Kick it around. Scare it. Put it in a cage. Do whatever it takes to make your fear seem small and ineffective to you.





If you're worried you might get so afraid when faced with your actual fear that you'll forget your visualization, take something with you to remind you of what you imagined. It can be a special piece of clothing or jewelry, a small picture, a few words on a scrap of paper, or anything else that helps you remember.



Feel free to alter the visualization when you need too. If you're feeling really scared of an upcoming event, you can ramp up your visualization and have your hero really pummel your fear.



Though it's a great method for adults too, visualization can be especially good for helping kids overcome fears. A child who's afraid of a scary monster under the bed can imagine a big friendly monster to chase it away. Encourage your child to tell a story or draw pictures to help him or her remember the visualization.
