article: Be your own cheerleader. When you finish a task, tell yourself "good job!" When you're mid-task, encourage yourself to keep going, and note that you are making good progress. If you're alone or at home, you can talk aloud.  Talking to yourself can help you stay on task. If you get distracted, remind yourself out loud of what you need to do.  Ask yourself questions like "What do I need to do next?" If you're in a public place, say it to yourself silently. Whenever you have an assignment with a topic you can choose, pick something that really interests you. For instance, if you have to write a paper about the civil war, pick a historical figure who you really admire or really despise. Topics that involve your feelings will be easier for you to think about for a long time.  If you don't have control over the subject, try to find connections between the topic and something you care about. Find aspects of the subject that interest you. For instance, if you have to study History but you care the most about fashion, investigate the styles of the times and places you are studying. Learn how political and economical developments changed the way people dressed. If you find your workplace pleasant, you'll associate that pleasure with your homework. Work in a clean room. Clutter makes it harder to concentrate. Set a workspace by a window or in a room you think is comfortable and attractive. Make sure your workplace is well lit, your chair is comfortable, and the noise level is low.  Try working in a public or school library for a change. If you do your homework at night, work somewhere well-lit. Don't work on a soft surface, like a bed or a couch, if you tend to doze off. It can be really hard to stay motivated when you don't have a clear sense of what the point is. Some homework assignments turn out to be useful eventually, but some never do. If you feel like your work is pointless, make a list of the reasons to do it.  Reasons to do homework include: Learning something that will probably help with future assignments, even if you don't know what they are yet. Proving to your teacher that you understand the homework so that she or he doesn't keep assigning it over and over. Showing everyone that you are trying. Getting a good grade. If you care about your grades, it can be easy to remember why you are bothering with homework. If you don't care about your grades, train yourself to care. Getting bad grades can close doors for you in the long term and in the short term. Having the option of getting into a good college can make your whole life better.  Getting good grades can qualify you for scholarships and grants. If you are in elementary or middle school, doing well in school can get you into a better high school when you are older. In many school districts you need a certain GPA to get a work permit as a minor.  Having a high GPA can get you a "good student" discount on your car insurance.  If your school doesn't give grades, remember that your reputation still matters. Teachers, and your classmates, will think of you as dependable and hard working if you do your work. If you are in high school, you need your teachers to think of you as a good student so they can recommend you for college, for jobs, and for scholarships.

article: Steam cleaning can help to refresh your skin and help to sooth problem areas on your face, such as a deep pimple. You can also integrate essential oils in your steam clean to help “draw” out the deep pimple. You will need to following supplies:  1-quart pot Water A clean towel Essential oils Dried herbs, if you do not have access to essential oils You should use essential oils that have antibacterial or antiseptic properties and that can help to sooth the deep pimples.  Spearmint or peppermint: Due to a high percentage of menthol, spearmint or peppermint has antiseptic and immune boosting properties.  Thyme: This herb can improve your immune system and is known to be antibacterial. It is also known to increase your blood circulation.  Lavender: This herb has soothing and calming properties. It also has antibacterial properties and can help with anxiety and depression.  Calendula: This herb can help to accelerate healing and also has antimicrobial properties.  Always pre-test the oil on a small area of your skin before you use it. This will confirm you are not allergic to the herbal oil. To test the oil, place one drop on your wrist and wait 10–15 minutes. Only use the oil for steam cleaning if there is no reaction on the surface of your skin. Use a hair tie to put your hair back so your face is exposed. Then, wash your face with a plant-oil based product. This will ensure it is clean and ready for steaming. Use oils like glycerin, grapeseed, and sunflower to create a plant-oil based product.  Use your fingertips to apply the product to your face, gently massaging in circular motions. Wash your face for about a minute and then use lukewarm water to rinse your face, removing the cleanser. Pat your face dry with a clean towel. Use the 1-quart pot and fill it halfway with water. Place it on the stove and let it boil for one to two minutes. Make sure the water creates a nice flow of steam.  Add one to two drops of the essential oils. Use dried herbs if you do not have access to herbal oils. Use ½ teaspoon of dried herbs per quart of water. Allow the water to boil for another minute and then take it off the heat. Be careful, as the pot will be hot. Shut off the stove and put the pot on an even surface in an open area. Cover your head with the towel first so you can position your face 12–15 inches from the water. Doing this will cause your blood vessels to dilate and your pores to open up without damaging your skin with the steam. Close your eyes and breathe in and out deeply. Relax and be calm as the steam wafts over your face. One minute in, remove your face from the steam and let your skin rest for 10 minutes. Only reheat the water and steam again if you do not have an allergic reaction to the oils in the steam after 10 minutes, with no sneezing or itching. Hold your face over the steam for up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove your face from the steam and rinse your skin with lukewarm water. Pat dry it with a towel. End the steam session by hydrating your face with natural oils or a non-comedogenic moisturizer. This will keep your skin soft and prevent damage to your skin.  Go for store-brand moisturizers that are labeled non-comedogenic or non-clogging, like Olay, Neutrogena, and Clinique moisturizers. For a natural option, go for natural oils that are high in non-comedogenic properties, such as hemp seed oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, castor oil, calendula oil, or argan oil.  Begin by moisturizing your face twice a day with natural oils, in the morning and at night. Do the steam treatment once a day, in the morning or the evening.

Write an article based on this "Be aware that there is no single best approach for treatment. Follow the "wait-and-see" approach. Take antibiotics if your doctor prescribes them. Undergo a myringotomy if your doctor recommends it. Discuss having an adenoidectomy with your doctor."

When deciding on a course of treatment your doctor will consider a number of factors, including age, the type, severity, and duration of the infection, the frequency of ear infections in the medical history, and whether the infection has resulted in hearing impairment. Most of the time, the human immune system can fight off and heal ear infections with a bit of time (usually two to three days). The fact that most ear infections can actually clear up on their own has led a number of physician associations to support the   "wait-and-see" approach, which essentially means administering pain relief but not treating the infection with antibiotics.  The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommends the "wait-and-see" approach for children from six months old to two years old who experience ear pain in one ear and for children over two years who have pain in one or both ears for less than two days and have a temperature of less than 102.2°F (39°C).  Many doctors support this approach because of the limitations of antibiotics, including the fact that they are often overused and have lead to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In addition, antibiotics can't treat an infection caused by a virus. If the infection does not go away on its own, your doctor will likely prescribe a 10-day course of antibiotics, which can treat the infection and potentially shorten some symptoms. Commonly prescribed antibiotics include Amoxicillin as well as Zithromax (the latter case if you are allergic to penicillin). Antibiotics are often prescribed for individuals who suffer from frequent infections or for those with severe and extremely painful infections. In most cases, the antibiotics clear any fluid in the ear.  For children ages six and up who have a mild to moderate infection as determined by the doctor's assessment, a shorter course of antibiotic treatment (five to seven days instead of 10) may be prescribed.  Even if symptoms improve partway through the course of antibiotic treatment, make sure to finish the full prescription. If you are prescribed enough for 10 days, take the antibiotics for 10 days. However, you should notice improvement within 48 hours. A persistent high fever (of over 100°F or 37.8°C) suggests resistance to that particular antibiotic and you may need to acquire a different prescription. Ear surgery may be an option in cases of prolonged ear fluid (when fluid exists for more than three months after an infection has cleared up or in the absence of any infection), recurrent OME (three episodes in six months or four episodes in a year with at least one occurring in the past six months), or frequent ear infections that don't clear up through antibiotics. The surgery, called a myringotomy, involves draining the fluid from the middle ear and inserting a ventilation tube. Usually, you will need to be referred to an ENT to determine whether this surgery is appropriate.  In this outpatient surgery, an ENT specialist will surgically place the tympanostomy tube into the eardrum through a small incision. The process should help ventilate the ear, prevent the buildup of more fluid, and allow existing fluid to drain completely from the middle ear.   Some tubes are intended to stay in place for six months to two years and then fall out on their own. Other tubes are designed to stay in longer and may need to be surgically removed.  The eardrum usually closes up again after the tube falls out or is removed. In this surgery, the small glands in the throat at the back of the nose (the adenoids). This is sometimes an option in cases of recurrent or persistent problems with the ears. The Eustachian tube runs from the ear to the back of the throat and is met by the adenoids. When inflamed or swollen (due to a cold or sore throat) the adenoids can press on the entrance of the Eustachian tubes. Moreover, bacteria on the adenoids can sometimes spread up into the tubes, causing infection. In these cases, problems and blockages in the Eustachian tubes lead to ear infections and fluid buildup. In this surgery, more common in children whose adenoids are larger and thus more likely to cause problems, an ENT specialist removes the adenoids through the mouth while the patient is under anesthetic. In some hospitals, the adenoidectomy is done as a day surgery, meaning that you can go home the say day. In other cases, surgeons like to keep the patient in hospital overnight for supervision.
