Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider specific styles of meditation. Read books on meditation. Find a meditation instructor or meditation class.

Answer: There are many specific styles and traditions of meditation. Some are associated with certain religions or spiritual practices, like yogic meditation and Tibetan Buddhist meditation, and others that are geared more toward your own experience. Most styles that are associated with other practices have certain ways of meditating that will help benefit the practice itself, like yoga and yogic meditation.  Try researching specific styles of meditation online by visiting blogs and websites, like those on Zen Buddhism.  Research specific styles of meditation if you already practice yoga or other contemplative exercises. There are many books, from religious to informal, on meditation and practices. Reading a book on meditation can give you further insight into the internal complexities of meditation. Books might also help clear up some of the more vague language or difficult to grasp concepts around attention and mindfulness.  Go to your local bookstore and as an employee if they have any books on meditation. Check for books on meditation in “Eastern Philosophy,” “Eastern Arts,” “Religion,” and “Self-help” sections of bookstores. Meditation classes are a great way to stay committed and get hands-on learning experience. Some meditation classes are offered through contemplative institutions or religious institutions, while others are offered by the community in public spaces. Meditation classes can also provide you with a new community of people, that range in all levels of experience, who share your desire to learn more about meditation. Look for meditation classes offered near you by looking up community listings by city. You can also find meditation classes throughout the U.S. by looking into specific institutions, like the Sri Chinmoy Centre.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wear clean clothes that fit well. Choose simple accessories.

Answer:
A comfortable, put-together outfit will help you feel more confident than a rumpled, stinky sweatsuit. Wash your laundry frequently and put your clothes away so you always have clean, unwrinkled clothes to wear. You don’t have to dress up, just pick things that make you feel good and that are free of stains or rips. Choose clothes that fit well; they shouldn’t be baggy and shapeless nor should they be constricting and uncomfortable. If you’re going for a natural look, don’t overdo it with tons of flashy jewelry or blinged-out accessories. Stick to simple accessories and limit it to just a few items, like a patterned scarf, simple bracelet, and bright-colored heels. Or, you could choose some dangly earrings, a neutral handbag, and patterned flats.
