Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask yourself if the worry does any good for you. Count your breaths. Give yourself 30 minutes  to worry. Use the thought-stopping technique. Condition yourself to not worry. Put something in your hands.

Answer: Since you want to care for yourself, you don't want to hurt yourself in any way. Worrying can hurt you, so remind yourself of that. Usually, when people are able to be honest with themselves, they have an easier time letting go of the worry. Breathe in through your nose and then breathe out through your mouth. Count your breaths since worry can be exasperated with high-stress levels, this will reduce those levels.  If you continue to worry as you are breathing, allow yourself to consider it for a moment and then breathe it away. Use your breath to blow the worries away from you. Do as many you need to feel relaxed. Some people will do 10 breaths, while others will do breathe in and out 20 times. You don't even have to decide before you start this technique. Allow yourself to gauge if you need to continue when you hit 10 . Learn to control your worry by allowing yourself only 30 minutes. Once your 30 minutes is up, tell yourself that you need to focus on other things. It may help to set a timer so that you are not tempted to worry after your time is up. As soon as you start to worry, tell yourself to stop. The action of telling yourself to stop replaces the negative thought . You can do it aloud or you can use self-talk to tell yourself. Many therapists use this technique to help people avoid negative thoughts. As soon as a worry enters your mind, telling yourself to stop can help you let go of it quickly. Just keep in mind this is a learned behavior. It may not be effective at first, but after some practice, you may just be able to stop any worrisome thought in its tracks. This techniques works better for some people more than others. If you find this technique doesn’t work for you, try mindfulness instead. Place a rubber band  on your wrist and snap it every time you worry. This is a type of thought stopping and it can help you to stop worrisome thoughts, then focus back on the present. Studies  show that people who use their hands are less likely to worry. When you're focused on whatever is in your hands, you won't be focusing on what you're thinking about for too long. You may want to put a string of beads in your hands or use a stress ball. Try counting the beads, or squeezing the ball in a rhythm.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask for support. Consider joining a support group like Alcoholics Anonymous or SMART Recovery. Watch as sobriety changes your life. Don't be afraid to talk about your experiences. Commit whole-heartedly to sobriety.

Answer: It may be the hardest part of your path to recovery, but telling your family or spouse what you are going through and what you are trying to achieve is a huge step. Like it or not, few people achieve sobriety alone, and even fewer sustain it alone. Don't feel inadequate about telling your family and friends what you are dealing with. Set guidelines for what you'd like your friends and family to accept. If you're game, ask them to take alcohol from you if they see you drinking it. Ask them to be your better half and help you get back closer to sobriety. Do not feel guilty or defeated, however, if you do not find AA to be a fit for you.  It is not for everyone.  Most people who quit do so without the help of AA.  The vast majority of people who have quit drinking and put that phase of their lives behind them have done so by making a conscious commitment to themselves to stop drinking once and for all - and never look back.  AA, however, can be extremely effective in helping you stay sober once you've decided that's the lifestyle you want to chase after. One study found that recovering patients attending AA and NA programs had an 81% abstinence rate, compared to a 26% abstinence rate among non-attendees. That's a difference of over 50%. Consistency of attendance matters. The more you attend programs like AA, which teach total abstinence from alcohol, the less likely it is that you'll relapse. Abstinence programs almost become a routine that members are addicted to, except that this addiction is sustainable and life-affirming. Abstinence programs fit you with a sponsor. A sponsor is someone, preferably not your "friend," who you can lean on whenever your sobriety is being threatened. A sponsor should be able to tell you when you're making a mistake and not mince words. Addicts with sponsors find it exponentially easier to stay sober than addicts without sponsors. After 90 days of complete sobriety, your whole outlook will be changed and your body will be in full recovery mode. You will likely have lost weight; you will likely feel more energized and happier about who you are. You will be like a completely different person. Anytime you feel weak, tempted, or pessimistic, reach out to someone you know you can trust. (It's really hard to swallow and talk at the same time.) Lean on them. Maybe it's a sponsor, maybe it's a friend; maybe it's mom. Whoever it is, learn how to open up to your feelings and overcome them instead of stifling your feelings and never truly dealing with them. Once you're ready, share your experiences with other people in need. Maybe you agree to talk to high-school children about your addiction and its aftermath. Maybe you write a heartfelt message and post it online. Whatever you do, try to pay all the help you were given forward. Even if you only get through to one person, you've done more than enough. Admit to yourself, and remember it, that there is absolutely nothing in your life more important than this one thing. Your life depends on it. All the people you love share in it. You, yourself, deserve it. Remember that your decision to quit is permanent. Avoid all alcohol. Even just 1 drink can cause you to relapse back into addiction.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Preheat the oven and slice the bread. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and bake it for 10 minutes. Cook with the dry breadcrumbs.

Answer: Turn the oven on to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Get out 1 loaf of bread and slice it into thick pieces. If you don't have a food processor, leave the bread in slices. If you do have one and want to process the bread, cut the slices into pieces. Lay the slices of bread in a single layer on a baking sheet or spread the pieces of bread evenly across the sheet. Put the bread in the preheated oven and bake it for 10 minutes. Let the bread cool completely before you process it. The bread should completely dry out. If the bread is really moist or it's humid out, add an extra couple of minutes to the baking time. For extra texture in your meals, scatter dry breadcrumbs over pasta, casseroles, grilled vegetables, or stews. Try sprinkling them over pasta, roasted vegetables, or thick soups. Store leftover dry breadcrumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look at length versus width. Look at your jaw line. Take a short cut. Look at other faces. Determine your symmetry.

Answer:
A deciding factor in finding your face shape is whether your face is longer than it is wide or wider than it is long.  Use a flexible measuring tape or string to measure. Measure the length from the top of your hairline to your chin, and measure width all the way across your face at the level of the bridge of your nose. Also measure the width of the top of your hairline and the width across your jaw. Write down your measurements on a piece of paper to refer back to. You have an oval face if your face length is 1.5 times the width. You have a round face if your lengths and widths are almost the same. An oblong face shape has much more length than width. You have a square face if the width across your hairline is the same width as your jaw. Heart shaped faces have their greatest width at the cheekbones paired with a forehead and jawline of almost the same width. A diamond face is wider across the forehead and narrow at the chin with prominent cheekbones. The shape of your jawline can also be a secondary indicator of the shape of your face.  If you have a squared jawline, you probably have a square face. If you have a more soft, rounded jawline, you might have an oval, oblong, triangular or round face. If your jaw comes to a point, you might have a heart or diamond face shape. You don’t necessarily have to determine all of your measurements to find your face shape. If you want, use a simpler method to determine your face shape by eyeing it. After you get out of the shower, stand in front of the steamy bathroom mirror. Drawing the shape of your face in the steam of the mirror, or stand in front of a clear mirror, and draw your face in lipstick or eyeliner. This will help you more clearly see the shape of your face. Looking at celebrities can help you confirm your own face shape. Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity? See what face shape that person has because yours might be similar.  Celebrities with round faces: Reese Witherspoon, Cara Delevingne, Kate Upton, Kate Bosworth  Celebrities with diamond faces: Tyra Banks, Viola Davis, Rihanna, Shilpa Shetty Celebrities with heart faces: Julianne Moore, Lea Michele, Lucy Hale Celebrities with square faces: Olivia Wilde, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Garner, Rachel McAdams  Celebrities with oblong faces: Liv Tyler, Megan Fox, Gisele  Celebrities with oval faces: Beyoncé, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Munn Do you have a “good side” when you take photographs? This might be due to facial asymmetry.  To find out how symmetrical your face is, take a blank white sheet of paper and cover one half of your face and then the other. Line the edge up with the middle of your nose. Does one half appear smaller? If so, as you are parting your hair, part it above the larger side of your face to create the illusion of symmetry.
