Article: Those who are emotionally stable are fantastic at compartmentalizing – in other words, they're mavens at making sure the areas of their lives that are super stressful don't leak into the good parts of their lives, ruining everything that's going well. So if work sucks, make the active decision not to take it home with you. Realize that just because one aspect of your life isn't going how you'd like it to go doesn't mean that your entire life has to be affected. Take a look into yourself and think about what is riling up your emotions and knocking you off your horse. You can't isolate stress until you know where it's coming from. Memories are not as stable as you may think. In fact, they can change each time you recall them. If you’re being bothered by a troublesome memory, make a conscious effort to reframe it in less negative way. Instead of dwelling on the negative emotions that you felt during the experience, pick a more neutral or positive aspect of the memory to focus on. With enough practice, you can build new associations around that memory. For example, if you keep thinking about the day you broke up with your girlfriend, try to focus on some other aspect of that day. E.g., what was the weather like? What were you wearing? What did you eat for breakfast? If you’re used to thinking negatively about yourself, it can be hard to “think positive.” Instead, next time you think something negative, replace that thought with something more realistic. Once you get into the habit of thinking more realistically, it will be easier to start thinking positively. For example, instead of thinking, “I’m a horrible cook. I will never be good at this!” try telling yourself, “If I keep practicing, I will get better at cooking.” This is a more realistic thought, and also easier for a negatively-wired brain to accept than something like, “I am the best cook ever!” “Mindfulness” is the art of being in the moment. When you are mindful, you are focusing on what is happening in the here and now, rather than fixating on the past or worrying about the future. All it takes is being self-aware and having a gentle understanding of yourself.  Take time not only to be aware of what is happening around you at any given moment, but also to be aware of what you are feeling, physically and emotionally. Don’t judge your feelings – just notice them. For example, you might think to yourself, “My knee hurts. I’m feeling a little sad. The breeze feels nice.” A good way to find the quality of mindfulness is meditation. Focus on your breathing patterns, try not to think of anything else, and find your center. It's a break away from life that can help you see the bigger picture. If you’re not sure how to start, try a free mindfulness app, such as Insight Timer. The human mind has the fantastic ability to see, hear, and think what it wants – regardless of the reality of the situation. It's important to keep this in mind whenever you find yourself feeling an emotion you'd rather not be feeling. Take a few moments to assess the situation before jumping to conclusions and acting on your emotions.  For example, if someone says something to you in an unfriendly tone of voice or gives you what seems like a dirty look, don’t jump to the conclusion that they dislike you or are angry at you. Sometimes people are unaware of how they look or sound to others. If you have a question about someone else’s feelings or intentions, the best way to clear the air is to ask. For example, you might ask, “What did you mean by that?” or, “Are you upset with me about something?”

Problem: Article: To clean the tank, you first need to place your crab in a holding container so you can give the tank and the accessories a good clean. The container can be a clean plastic tub or bin. Your crab will likely run around the holding container while you clean his tank. You can leave a small bowl of dechlorinated water out and place it next to the holding container so it comes to room temperature. You can then use this bowl later to clean any mites on your pet so he is mite free when he goes back into his clean, mite free tank. If you’d really like to make sure there are no mites left in the tank at all, you can use a small vacuum to suck out any mites in the tank. Do this before you wet the tank, as the vacuum will work better on a dry surface. Focus on the corners of the tank as this is where the mites tend to like to hang out. Once you have removed the accessories, you can wipe down the tank with a wet paper towel. Press down on the sides and bottom the tank to swish any mites and remove them. Make sure you do this in the corners of the tank, as this is often where the mites like to hide. You can also rinse the tank out with tap water to drown and wash away any mites still in the tank. Try to eliminate any black flecks in the tank so the tank is spotless and clean. Mites do not like direct sunlight, so once you rinse and wipe down the tank with plain water, you should let it dry completely in the sun. You can also let the tank dry indoors overnight. Once the tank is dry, you can place the sterilized tank accessories back into the tank.
Summary: Place your crab in a holding container. Use a small vacuum to remove the mites in the tank. Wipe down the tank with plain water to remove any mites still in the tank. Let the tank dry in direct sunlight.

Students are going to follow your lectures more if they see you using certain technological tools. You should become aware of what materials your classroom provides and be able to use them correctly. Some of these may include:  Smartboards Computer projectors Programmed slide shows (PowerPoint, etc.) Students are surrounded by technology, and they should be encouraged to use the tools that are available to them. In teaching math, you need to combine adequate memorization and understanding along with the use of technology. Students should be taught to use such tools as:  Graphing calculators Smartboards iPads and other tablet accessories Students who habitually forget to write down homework assignments or who lose or forget their notebooks can be encouraged to enter assignments into their cell phone calendars. This is more likely to assure that the assignment at least makes its way home. You can also encourage your students to do their homework if you allow the use of certain support apps. Research the Internet for a wide variety of math homework apps that you might recommend to your students.  Homework apps, if used improperly, can cut into student learning. But if you research the apps carefully and direct your students’ work, you can make the most of the available tools. MetaCalculator and WolframAlpha are two useful apps you may want to investigate. Particularly in teaching math, you need to ask if the apps are adding to the learning experience or taking away from it. There are some apps, such as one called Photomath, that will actually show students the answers to their homework problems. While this could look like cheating, you need to require that students be able to explain their answers and the steps they perform. In this way, students who need help at home can use the app for guidance. In the end, however, they should know that you will be checking for their overall understanding.
