I know I have a slight fear of learning to swim but I'm whiling to get over it.

How to Overcome Your Fear of Learning to Swim: https://www.wikihow.com/Overcome-Your-Fear-of-Learning-to-Swim

What I Learn?

Learning to swim shouldn't be something some people fear. Unless you dealt with trauma with swimming, that's a different story.

Anyway, there's different ways to overcome the fear of learning to swim.

First, you could search online about the process of learning to swim. Then slowly, you learn to deal with the fear. You should try standing in water. Learning relaxation therapy can help you be calm.

It's always best to get comfortable with the water. It helps to have a friend help you out. If that doesn't there's always a swimming instructor that you can hire to help you out.

Always remember to do it safely.

Do I Want To Do This?

While I'm not afraid to learn, I think this is still a good advice to follow. I also think this would help me learn to swim and get used to the idea a bit more.

So, yes, I do want to do this.

Day 5: How to Groom a Syrian Hamster

Let's all take care of a hamster with long hair.

How to Groom a Syrian Hamster: https://www.wikihow.com/Groom-a-Syrian-Hamster

What I Learn?

Learning how to groom a hamster is quite interesting. You just need a small brush or small comb (if hamster has long hair). Just brush their hair at least once a week.

Another method, is you can get chinchilla sand which has stuff in it that hamsters use to groom themselves. But be careful, for hamsters can use the sand to use the bathroom.

The last sections shows how you can get claws trimmed.

As always, if you feel like you need help, you can go to a vet or a pet groomer that is specialized in hamsters.

Do I Want To Do This?

Since I do not own a hamster, I will not do this. However, I think it's a good post to share to those who might own a hamster.

Day 4: How to Topdress a Lawn

Need some new grass? Just topdress it.

How To Topdress a Lawn: https://www.wikihow.com/Topdress-a-Lawn

What I Learn?

Every two to three years, it's suggested that you need to redo your lawn. Basically, you need this tool called aerator. What it does, it planets tiny holes in the grass so you can topdress it with the soil of your choice. Then you planet grass seeds over top of it. I think xD

What happens when you do this, that the grass will continue to grow with no brown spots at all.

Also, you might wanna repeat it after a rain shower. Just be sure to don't forget this and always be able to do hills too.

Do I Want To Do This?

Since I'm not running in the yard, nah. However, this might be a good idea if you live in a nicer neighborhood so if I lived somewhere else, then yea... I would do it.  

Day 3: How To Prevent Leg Cramps

Dealt with leg cramps a lot of times... always knew how to take care of it. But now I know how to prevent them.

How to Prevent Leg Cramps: https://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-Leg-Cramps

What I Learn?

Leg cramps are most common after workouts and more. To me, I get leg cramps by walking a whole lot. It's best to stretch after workouts. Always keep aware of how much you are doing and take breaks to drink lots of water. Most times, you need electrolytes to prevent it. You should always have plenty of calcium in your diet. You could take medication if you talk to your doctor about it. I think since there are three different ways to prevent leg cramps... the first and second one are the best ones to follow.

So, keep aware on how much you are doing as workouts and keep hydrated with a balance diet with loads of calcium and magnesium in your life.

Do I Want To Do This?

I think it's a good idea to follow steps in preventing leg cramps, especially since I do suffer from them every once in a while. I like to read on things like this because it's a good thing for my health. So it should be good for you too. 

Day 2: How to Tell if a Guy Is Playing With Your Feelings

Really? 😒

How to Tell if a Guy Is Playing With Your Feelings: https://www.wikihow.com/Tell-if-a-Guy-Is-Playing-With-Your-Feelings

What I Learn?

This might be a short one to do since it's about guys. I will let you know whether or not I am interested in the second section of this post. Firstly, this article tells how you should be able to tell if a guy is just playing with your feelings. Something I learned after a breakup. xD Long long ago. Anyway, it also states how you should just tell the guy no and whether you should have a conversation with him about how he is treating you. 

Do I Want To Do This?

I am not interested in this. I am single and I already know when a guy rather want to play around instead. So I don't need to learn this over and over. Since this is part of the challenge, I have no choice but to add this to my daily challenge. Hoping that the rest won't be like this xD

Day 1: How To Control Your Dreams

It's true. You can control your dreams.

How To Control Your Dreams: https://www.wikihow.com/Control-Your-Dreams

What I Learn?

I learn that you have start slow.

The fun way is writing down your dreams every morning. Keep a dream journal (or Diary) and  each morning, write down what you can remember. Even if you didn't dream it or remember, just write it down.

Then every night, start writing down dreams that you really want to have. Every night that you write the target dream, you shall want to read what you wrote over and over. Make sure within the written dream that you wrote a lot of details. No matter how small they are.

Because you are reading over and over with no distractions (no TV or radio), you should be able to dream about it.

Eventually, if you are successful at controlling your dreams, you should be able to do bigger things in dreams.

Just be warned, not to go too big because you can wake up suddenly.

Also, a slight warning... you might experience false reality so be sure to try to assure yourself that you are awake or not.

Do I Want To Do This?

Well, I have tried it before. I really need to try it again because it's actually fun to do. Being able to be totally aware of what you are dreaming about sounds awesome. I like the feeling of being excited or happy when I wake up so this might be a good chance to do.

I do want to write down my dreams more often. As well as write down dreams that I would love to dream about. This might be a good idea to add to my already dream journal.

Now It's Time To Learn How To Do Something Challenge

Starting tomorrow and until day 30, I am going to watch and read an article of how to do something. It's gonna be different for each day.

Now, I will only share the site that the article or video comes from. As for how is this relevant to pop culture? Anymore, anything that is crafty or hobby, it's all pop culture related.

Let's talk about how I am going to make each post interesting...

The title would be How To Do... then states the item. I will add the day instead of part so that you all know which is which.

I will explain what read or watch in each post. I won't post any pictures but only the link.

Then after I talk about it, I will then talk whether or not if it's something that I am interested or if it's something that I want to do.

Do not be surprised if any of them is something that I am not interested or don't want to do.

I hope that this will be interesting to do.

I will share all posts on A Faerie Journey everyday until the 30 days are over.

Thank you and hope you all join in with this challenge.

That's all.
