Problem: Article: Understand your stress levels and what stressors affect you the most. Try keeping a journal of these top stressors and how they make you feel. As you come to understand your triggers, you can better control your stress. Having your stress under control will allow you to focus on being a more patient person. Some of your common stressors might be:  Traffic Long lines Excessive phone calls Deadlines Most situations can be looked at in a positive and negative light. How patient you are in a given circumstance will depend on how positive or negative your outlook is. If you focus on the positive aspects of a situation, you’ll find yourself being much more patient. For example, if you view time spent sitting in traffic as time wasted, you will be frustrated and impatient. Instead, reframe the situation. Sure, you spent a long time in traffic, but it was a great opportunity to have a conversation with your significant other. With this subtle twist, the experience becomes a positive one and you will both be more patient. Being caught off guard is stressful, regardless of the situation. You can be more patient if you prepare yourself for difficult situations. One of the best ways to prepare for a situation is to visualize yourself dealing with it before it happens. Close your eyes and think about how the situation will play out, then how you want to react to it. Breathe deeply and tell yourself that you can do it. For example, if you get irritated when your significant other sleeps in on the weekend, visualize yourself doing something you enjoy in the morning. Include in the visualization how you will greet your significant other warmly when they wake up, maybe with a plate of pancakes ready or a bowl of fresh fruit prepared. Exercise and a healthy diet can keep your body healthy. This will make you feel better, raise your self-confidence, and help to balance your hormones and neurotransmitters (the chemicals that send messages throughout your brain and body). All of these things will make your hormones work for you to reduce your stress level and help you to be more patient. Of course, physical health is not the only factor to remaining happy and stable. If you practice good mental hygiene, you will find that you have much more capacity to be patient with yourself and your significant other. Practicing yoga, meditation, deep breathing techniques, and talking in support groups can help you relieve built up stress and maintain your cool at all times.
Summary: Be aware of your stress. Remain positive. Have a plan for tough situations. Keep your body healthy. Focus on your mental health.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Drizzle a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (about 10 to 14 inches) over medium heat before cooking the base of your breakfast skillet. If you're serving more than a few people, it's important to pick a base that is filling and will easily feed several people. You can cook diced or cubed potatoes as the base of your skillet. Whatever you choose, ensure the food is cooked until it's tender before you add your other ingredients. Good breakfast skillet bases include:  Cooked and drained pasta Cooked and cooled rice Diced and roasted sweet potatoes Hash browns Diced yam or butternut squash Once your base has cooked until it is soft, add at least one or two different cubed vegetables. You may need to drizzle a little olive oil in the pan and stir it frequently to keep the food from sticking. Use at least one of these vegetables in your breakfast skillet:  Broccoli Cauliflower Mushrooms Kale or spinach Onions Bell peppers As the breakfast skillet cooks, sprinkle seasoning and herbs to add flavor. You can start with just 1/4 of a teaspoon of the spices and herbs you want to use. Taste the food and adjust the flavor by adding more seasonings to your taste. These seasonings work well in breakfast skillets:  Thyme Rosemary Garlic Oregano Chili powder Shallots Ground cumin Many breakfast skillets contain meat. You can use any type of sausage, cooked and shredded chicken, bacon, or smoked salmon. If you'd like to stick to a vegetarian breakfast skillet, just use eggs or tofu. To add eggs, you can just make wells in the veggies and crack the eggs into each well. You could also drop the eggs into the skillet and stir them frequently while the skillet cooks. This will scramble the eggs. If you'd like to top the breakfast skillet with fried eggs, try frying the eggs in a separate pan. This way, you can cook them exactly how you like them and simply place them on top of your cooked breakfast skillet. Depending on how you decided to cook your eggs, you may need to continue cooking the skillet. If you'd like your eggs cracked onto the top and cooked till just set, consider covering the skillet with a lid and cooking the skillet over medium-low heat until the whites set. This could take 5 to 10 minutes. If you'd like to use more than 4 eggs or would like them cooked more thoroughly, bake the breakfast skillet in an oven heated to 400 degrees F (204 C) for 10 minutes.  If baking in the oven, ensure your pan is oven-safe. If you chose to scramble the eggs into the cooked vegetables and base, you won't need to continue cooking the breakfast skillet any further.

SUMMARY: Choose your base. Add vegetables. Add your seasonings. Add eggs and protein. Finish cooking the skillet. Finished.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you’re out for a walk, it’s a chance to spend a moment alone together. It’s also a natural time to have a meaningful or sweet discussion with her and, since you’ll already be walking side by side, it’s a perfect scenario for you to put your arm around her.  Avoid discussing anything heavy or negative. Walk slowly and keep your body language relaxed.  Suggest taking a stroll with her at a nearby park on a pretty afternoon. Another good excuse for a walk is to go window shopping or run an errand. Wherever you happen to be hanging out or whatever you might be doing, always try to sit or stand close to her when it makes sense to do so. Obviously, don’t follow her into the bathroom or anything like that, but in general, staying by her side creates a “couple” atmosphere and provides ample opportunities to get your arm around her. If she seems uncomfortable with your nearness or makes excuses to get away, give it a rest. You want her to feel liked, not stalked. If she looks cold or if you happen to be out together on a windy or overcast day, be a gentleman and offer her your jacket. Not only will she think you’re romantic, but putting your jacket over her shoulders provides an excellent opportunity to sneak your arm around her.  Place the jacket sweetly around her shoulders, and then let your arm remain naturally around them. Smile at her and give her shoulder a little squeeze after you’re got your arm around her. She’ll most likely look up at you when you do this, and you two will share a real moment of closeness. If all else fails, give this classic a try! Yawn a bit and naturally lift your arms up in a stretch, being as casual as you can. When you bring your arms down, put one of them around her shoulders. If this feels a little obvious, you can always overact the move in a very obvious, cheesy way.  This will probably make her laugh, and you should too! Sharing a laugh will break the ice and create a sense of comfort and ease between the two of you, and you’ll have your arm snugly around her.
Summary:
Go for a walk together. Be near her. Offer her your jacket. Use the classic stretch and yawn move.
