Q: Don't turn your attention to one element of your surroundings. Look at that element as though you needed to paint or draw it. Sharpen your attention on this item, examining how it looks and how it might feel. For example, look at the arm of a chair. Notice the wood grain and pattern. Observe how smooth the arm is and how it curves downward. Rub your index finger and thumb together. Notice how your skin feels. Notice what happens when you press your fingers together more gently. Listen to your breathing. Pay attention to your eyes blinking. If you are experiencing physical pain or sharp emotional pain, distract yourself by inflicting a small amount of physical pain on yourself. This will redirect your attention to one area, such as when you pinch the webbing between your index finger and your thumb.
A: Observe something in minute detail. Pay close attention to your body. Pinch yourself.

Q: Your Manx cat will require a high-quality cat food to meet all of his nutritional needs. Make sure that you choose a brand name cat food that is meant for cats. Also, if your Manx cat has special dietary needs, then you may need to feed him a special food. For example, if your Manx is overweight or obese, then you may need to give him food that is meant for cats. Make sure that the food contains taurine. Taurine is an essential amino acid and all cats need it to be healthy. If your Manx does not get enough taurine, then he may develop heart and/or vision problems. Cat food packages provide guidelines for how much you should feed your cat based on his weight. You can use this amount to help you create a regular feeding schedule. Take the amount of food that your Manx is supposed to eat every day and divide it into two portions. Give these portions to your cat in meals spaced about eight to 12 hours apart.  For example, you could give your cat breakfast at 8:00am and then give her dinner at around 8:00pm. Since cats like to eat small meals, giving your Manx two small meals each day should make it more likely that she will eat all of the food she is supposed to each day. Manx cats need access to fresh, clean water at all times. Wash your cat’s water dish every day and make sure that it is always full of fresh, clean water. Keep your cat’s food and water bowls away from all litter boxes. Cats don’t like to eat and drink near where they go to the bathroom. Cats enjoy having an occasional treat, so keep a bag of treats on hand. Make sure that you do not give your cat too many treats or he may become overweight. Limit the number of treats that you give your Manx to about 5% of his total daily calories.
A: Select a high-quality cat food. Feed your Manx on a regular schedule. Give your Manx plenty of fresh, clean water. Give your Manx some treats.

Q: Lay the cord out flat in a long line or fold it into 3 lines to line up your cuts. Then, use scissors to cut the long 3 metres (9.8 ft) cord into 3 1 metre (3.3 ft) pieces. Making them as even as possible will ensure you don’t run out of any single cord when you’re making square knots. Tease the cords apart if they’re tangled and lay them so they’re parallel to each other, lining them up evenly at one end. It's important to ensure they're lined up evenly so any single cord doesn't run out before the others. If any of the cords are drastically shorter than the others, you may need to recut a longer string and try again. Tear off about 3 inches (7.6 cm) of tape from the roll and secure the cords to the table just above the knot. Tape it towards the far edge of your working table so you have the full area of the table to work on. This will make it a lot easier to tie square knots and keep the ends of the cords from tangling together.
A: Cut 3 metres (9.8 ft) of cord into 3 equal parts. Separate each length of cord and lay them parallel to each other. Tape the knotted side onto a table to hold it in place.

Q: Talk to your doctor about taking NSAIDs to help you deal with pain as you recover. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work to reduce swelling and relieve the pain caused by your ankle injury. Common over-the-counter NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Naprosyn). Talk to your doctor before using NSAIDs if you have heart problems, a history of stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, kidney damage, or diabetes. Celecoxib (Celebrex®) works well to reduce inflammation caused by an ankle injury. This is because it controls the production of prostaglandins, which cause inflammation. You will need a prescription from your doctor for this medication. You should take celecoxib after a meal, because taking it on an empty stomach could lead to a stomachache. Piroxicam works by stopping prostaglandin formation. It has a sublingual form that melts under the tongue and goes directly to the blood so that it reduces swelling quickly. Surgical therapy is rarely done for ankle sprains. It is only done in severe ankle sprains that do not respond to months of rehabilitation and medical therapy. If your ankle sprain is severe and has not improved after a long period of rehabilitation, ask your doctor if this may be a good option for you.
A:
Take NSAIDs with your doctor’s approval. Ask your doctor about celecoxib. Discuss piroxicam with your doctor. Talk to your doctor about surgery as a last resort.
