Write an article based on this "Practice thinking positively. Affirm yourself through positive self-talk. Ask for validation or feedback."
article: Let’s say you are preparing for a presentation at work or school. You want to feel self-assured and appear poised for the audience. However, you are not feeling as self-confident as you would like and you are worried that you might make a mistake. Positive thinking can greatly improve self-confidence and help you deal with any difficulties. This is due to the idea that how you think about yourself affects your behaviors. If you think negatively (I am going to fail. This is too hard. I’m going to make a fool of myself), it increases the likelihood that you will display negative behaviors that you don’t want (i.e. stumbling over your words, sweating too much due to excessive nervousness, etc). If you think positively (I will succeed. This is completely do-able. I am going to do the best I can) it increases the chances of positive actions (speaking clearly and maintaining calm physiological responses).  Focus on the positive aspects about yourself and what you do well. Are you good at making people laugh? Perhaps you could use humor in your presentation to lighten the mood. Quickly name as many positive qualities that you bring to the table as you can think of. Some examples might be: passion about the subject matter, level of education, ability to make people laugh, honesty, and persuasiveness. Using positive affirmations and self-talk helps improve self-confidence and reduce cognitive anxiety. Use positive cues when feeling less confident such as, “I can do this! I am strong. Go!” Empowerment and positive thoughts about the self can be heightened through interactions with other people.  Ask friend, family member, or coworker to give you a pep talk. Ask them to tell you what you are good at and that everything will be okay (give reassurance). Be careful not to ask for help too much on tasks you can do on your own because this can increase dependence and reduce self-confidence. Ask for validation, but continue to be self-reliant.

Write an article based on this "Go somewhere else. Retrieve happy memories. Concentrate on your task. Turn on your inner soundtrack. Just do it."
article: When you are in a difficult situation, try to picture yourself somewhere (anywhere!) else. To take a mental vacation, have a spot ready in your mind. Do you feel happiest on a beach? Or maybe your idea of relaxation is a secluded mountain cabin. Wherever it is that brings a smile to mind, try mentally placing yourself there. For example, maybe you ran into your neighbor on your way out the door. Perhaps your neighbor is nice, but it can be difficult to smile and nod when she goes on and on about the latest antics of her cats. This would be a great time to practice going to your mental vacation spot. Chances are that smile will look a lot more genuine if you are imagining that you are relaxing by the pool somewhere! Think back to some of the best times in your life. Maybe it was your first date with your wife. Maybe it was the day you finally landed that dream job. Perhaps you recall a particularly awesome snowball fight as a child. Whatever it is, pull up some of your favorite memories and thumb through them like a photo album. Do this while you're nervously waiting to head in for your big job interview. If you think of happy times, you'll have an easy time smiling when it's time to go in and wow your potential boss with your confident smile. It's going to be difficult to smile in some situations, and there's no getting around that. At times, it might be helpful to just concentrate on smiling with all of your might. Focus your mental energy on the task at hand--keeping that smile on your face, and in your eyes. This is where you can really put those newly strengthened smile muscles to the test. There is a clear connection between music and our emotions. Chances are that you have some favorite songs that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Is there one that reminds you of dancing enthusiastically with your girlfriends? Is there a track that your favorite band played when you finally got to see them in concert? Maybe the theme song from your favorite movie makes you grin from ear to ear. Whatever song you choose, try "playing" it in your head when you're having a hard time smiling. Music can clear up a bad mood and ease your anxiety. If you can just force yourself to smile, you can probably get that expression to stay in place for a little while, at least. The act of smiling is an instant mood booster, so the more you do it, the more you feel like smiling.Even better, smiling is contagious. If you smile, it is likely that the people around you will start grinning, too. In turn, their smiles will make it easier for you to keep yours in place. Try to smile more often when you are at work or at school and keep track of how many people smile in return.

article:
As your town grow, more nomads will arrive in your town with more than 30 people. Remember, every population added in your town requires more food and firewood; you also need houses for them which requires materials.  Accepting nomads will be able to help you fill in vacant jobs, but the downfall is that they might have diseases and will lower your supplies. Deny any request if you're unsure. If you really want to add more people in your town, best to prepare your supplies first. Gather more logs, make more firewood; produce more food, tools and clothing. Happiness is important in maintaining a huge town; build chapels or tavern to keep them happy. Unhappy citizens work less and produce small food or materials.  Though tavern requires ale to effectively work, it can be created with the use of orchards products such as Apples, Pears, Cherries.  To build a Chapel, you need 50 logs, 130 stones, 30 iron and 150 worth of labor. To build a Tavern, you need 52 logs, 12 stones, 20 iron and 90 worth of labor. You can get orchard seeds from traders. If you don't have any orchards, producing ale with wheat works as well. Now that you have a huge population, old citizens may die at the same time and the result of their death are unhappy members of the family. Members of the family may stop working then go back toward normal happiness after a few years.  Townsfolk living near a cemetery get a happiness boost. To build a cemetery you need 1 stone per unit area. The maximum size of the cemetery is 20 units long. Tombstones will eventually decay and disappear after approximately a generation, allowing the reuse of cemetery plots.
