INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using essential oils will not cure your insomnia or the root cause of it. However, essential oils can help you calm down and relax before bedtime and may help you fall and stay asleep.  Essential oils are distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, or roots of a specific plant. They are highly concentrated and you won’t need to use much to reap their benefits.  If you have insomnia for a longer period of time, see your doctor to rule out a more serious condition. Each essential oil has a different effect on the body and mind. Learning about the different essential oils will help you identify which ones may help you sleep.  Chamomile essential oil is a powerful calming agent. It can also help lift mood and aid depression.  Lavender essential oil is an excellent choice to relieve stress, but can also be used as an anti-depressant, and sedative.  Marjoram essential oil can help ease anxiety and stress, fight fatigue.  Valerian essential oil can help relax and calm you and may aid occasional insomnia.  Vetiver essential oil can help relax and calm you and may help you fall and stay asleep. Once you’ve identified the essential oils that may help you sleep, buy one that you like and a carrier oil. You can buy essential and carrier oils at many stores and online retailers.  Consider buying several different essential oils to aid your sleep. That way, you can choose a scent you like best on any given day. Because essential oils are so concentrated, you’ll need to dilute it with a carrier oil to best use it. Some examples of carrier oils are: sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and sesame oil.  You can buy essential oils and carrier oils at most health food or nutritional supplements retailers either online or in the store. Because each essential oil has different properties and may not be ideal for all users, it’s important to read the label of any essential oil before you use it. It’s also a good idea to do a skin patch test before using an oil.  You can find out about the oil’s contra-indications by reading the label. For example, you wouldn’t want to use valerian if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.  Before you use the essential oil in a bath or for a massage, do a skin patch test. Add 1-2 drops of diluted essential oil to the inside of your elbow. If no irritation occurs after 24 hours, then you can safely use it on your skin.

SUMMARY: Understand how essential oils aid sleep. Know the best essential oils to aid sleep. Buy an essential oil that will aid your sleep. Read the label.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Gossip, rumors and backstabbing conversations have no place when you're aiming to speak nicely. Complaining is also out. Find positive and constructive ways to explain yourself and the things that happen to you. Concentrate on what you want rather on how you wish other people would behave. Remember that you can't change other people but you can make it clear what you want to happen for yourself.  Beware sarcasm. It may feel witty and clever but it is barbed wit and it can hurt people who either don't get it or who realize that you are being damning about something they genuinely care about. That said, there are occasions where sarcasm can relieve tension, so use your best judgment knowing the people you're with. The best advice is to not make a habit of it. Avoid being saccharin sweet. The "everything's great" attitude when things are clearly not great is annoying and people see through it quickly. It is better to acknowledge what isn't working at the same time as being upbeat rather than sugarcoating bad things. Even in times of hardship and difficulty, it is possible to relay information in a way that helps people rather than leaves them feeling sad, angry or at a loss. Look for ways to bring positive things to everyone's attention, all while acknowledging the hardship. This is as much a habit as always complaining is a habit, and with practice, you can turn it around. For example, consider a situation of a power outage. Everyone is sitting around feeling miserable, complaining how cold and boring it is. You might say something like: "I know it's dark and cold in here but we can get the blankets out of the cupboard and wrap ourselves up in them, Johnny can cook us a cup of hot cocoa using the camping stove on the porch and we can play cards by candlelight." Finding the "nice" in difficult situations can help boost people's spirits immensely.
Summary: Avoid speaking ill. Be the bearer of good news.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you’re performing and nervous, it’s natural to get a bit quieter. Before you perform, practice your songs until you can sing them without even thinking about it. Knowing you're prepared can give you the confidence you need to sing loudly and clearly. It may even calm your nerves. Be sure to select songs that work with your vocal range. If you're unsure whether a song will work with your range, ask your vocal coach for feedback. While breathing exercises will strengthen your muscles and open up your lungs for full breaths, avoid taking deep breaths and holding them. When you're nervous about singing, just try to breathe normally. Stay relaxed so you're not creating tension. Practice your breathing before you begin singing. Do something simple like count your breaths in and out. For example, breathe in for five counts and release for five counts. Continue doing this until you're calm and ready to sing. Remind yourself why you want to sing. Chances are, if you keep your mind on your love for singing, you'll overcome your anxiety and be able to sing loudly and clearly. To help you focus, consider closing your eyes and paying attention to the words of the sing. Really let your emotions come through the music and worry less about your fears. If you close your eyes, remember not to tilt your chin upward, which can make it harder to sing loudly. One of the most helpful things you can do to sing louder, is to find a vocal teacher. A voice coach can give you valuable feedback on your singing technique. It will also be useful to have someone to tell you if you are, in fact, singing louder than before. Listen to your teacher's suggestions for improvement and remember that your teacher is there to help you become a better singer. Find a vocal teacher who specializes in a genre of singing that you want to do.
Summary:
Practice your songs. Relax your breathing. Focus on your passion. Work with a vocal teacher.
