INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Breathable cotton socks help absorb some of the moisture from your feet, keeping your shoes a bit cleaner.  If you're wearing flats or high heels, you can wear socks that won't show. They should be cut so that they only cover the back of your heel, the sides and bottom of your feet, and the front of your toes. Use running socks. They apply "moisture-wicking" technology which helps to keep your feet dry.

SUMMARY: Wear socks when possible.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Think about what it is that you want to achieve that will make your future better than your present and past circumstances. Write down clear, concise goals you can work towards. Make sure your goals are realistic, specific, measurable, time-based and achievable.  Consider also the things that you DON’T want in your life. Start work on one goal at a time. Break your goals into small, manageable steps. These will help you accomplish your goals over time. Think of people who will be a good influence on you and help you accomplish your goals. If you’re moving to a new place and don’t have many friends, consider maintaining contact with some of your old good friends and also making new ones. Reach out to family who have been loving and supportive of you in the past. Nurture your relationship with them; be honest, trustworthy and kind -- this will show them you want to turn over a new leaf. Your support system can include figures of authority in your life such as your teachers. Seek their advice and follow through on it, if you believe you can confide in them. Such connections can also help you out in the future when your life is more stable and you need someone to put in a good word for you, such as for a job application or a college reference. Distance yourself from friends who were negative influences in your life. If such people are not also trying to start over in life, then they might pull you back into habits, behavior or activities that made your past negative. These friends might also mock you and tease you for trying to leave your old ways behind. Ignore them and focus on improving your life. Make sure you have people to talk to and to support you through this transition. Make sure the goals you set take daily living into account. At the beginning of every day, reflect on your schedule for that day and what it is you have to go through, what you need to do to prepare. At the end of the day, reflect on how your day was and what progress you made. It’s okay if it wasn’t as much as you’d like. What matters is that you keep trying. Your negative past probably spanned a long period of time. Whether you’re trying to leave your old ways behind or to distance yourself from a negative situation created by others (e.g. an abusive relationship), things probably won’t become completely perfect overnight. Negative habits, behaviors, and methods of coping with stressful situations all take time to develop and time to be replaced with positive, alternative ones. You have direct control over your thoughts, your emotions, your behavior and your life. Make the decision to follow your goals and improve your life. Actively choose what to do next. Every morning, look in the mirror and say confidently, ‘I control my life. My choices today make a better tomorrow.’  No matter who was responsible for the events of your past, you have to take responsibility for improving your present and future. Remember that you can only control yourself and your actions but that your actions affect others and the future.  It can be easy to sit back and blame others for the way you are -- don’t use that as an excuse to continue living a life you’re not satisfied with.
Summary: Set goals for yourself. Gather a support system. Avoid negative people. Deal with things one day at a time. Take personal responsibility.

Silly putty is stretchy, bouncy, and fun, and it’s super easy to make! To start, measure out about 1/2 cup (120 mL) of school glue into a medium-sized plastic bowl. For the best results, use non-washable glue. However, you can use white, clear, or even glittery glue if you like! School glue is often sold in approximately 4 oz containers, which hold about 1/2 cup (120 mL) of glue. If this is the size you have, you can just pour out the whole bottle. When you’re finished playing with your silly putty, put it in a resealable plastic bag or a plastic container. If you’d like, you can also wrap the putty in clear plastic wrap before you put it in the container. This will help seal out any air, so your putty will last longer.  You can even keep your putty in a plastic egg if you want it to seem more like store-bought silly putty! Unlike real silly putty, this product will dry out within a few days. However, storing it in an airtight container will slow this process.

One-sentence summary -- Pour 4 oz (120 mL) of non-washable school glue into a bowl. Store the putty in an airtight container.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Stiff, sore muscles can limit your range of motion. You can actually become more flexible the same day that you get an effective massage. This is especially true if your masseuse is able to release tension points and knots in your muscles and help you to move around better. Get a massage a few times a month or more. Stress can really make your muscles tense and stiff. Working out, doing heavy lifting or other physical activities can also cause your body to tighten up. For this reason, finding the time to do some relaxing activity is important to improve your flexibility and keep stress from limiting your range of movement. Some examples of relaxing activities are, walking, meditation, swimming or anything that helps you unwind. Most people take shallow breaths from the chest instead of deeper breaths from the belly. During exercise, it is especially important to engage the diaphragm for optimal breathing. Spend 5 minutes each day focusing on slow, deep breaths so that your belly button moves in and out with each breath. This will help relax you and improve your posture, which in turn will improve your range of motion more quickly. Muscles are largely made of water, and for muscles to work properly, you must stay hydrated. A decline in performance or flexibility can be due to dehydration because dehydrated muscles cannot stretch to their full range of motion. Drink more water, particularly during and after workouts to improve your flexibility level.  The 8 glasses of water a day recommendation is a starting point, but your body may need more or less fluid than this. For example, you may need to modify your fluid intake if you are more active, live in a dry climate or are sick.   Check your urine to see if you are drinking enough fluids—it should be light yellow or colorless. You should also rarely feel thirsty.
Summary:
Get a deep tissue massage. Relax. Learn to breathe properly. Drink a lot of fluids.
