INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ask the part of you that is totally caught up in the mood what is so upsetting and what it needs. Let your mood be a messenger of whatever is bothering you so that you can decide whether or not to take action. You may then ask what would make it feel better in the immediate moment (like screaming into a pillow or smashing an egg) Be careful, ladies. Women have a tendency to spend more time than men ruminating (without benefit) on the negative mood, so use this tool with caution. You may want to put a time limit on how long you spend focusing exclusively on the bad mood. Asking yourself silently or through journal writing, is there a reason for your moodiness? If there is a reason that you can point to, is there anything that you can do to change it? If you can't put your finger on why you feel the way you do, is there anything that you can tell yourself to feel better? Even though figuring out what's going on may not change your mood entirely, it will give you a better idea of the best things you can do to alter your state of mind. We have the remarkable faculty of imagination, which allows us to create in our minds the feeling of being elsewhere. Since it's not always possible to make a change in your physical location, try envisioning a time when you felt very differently from how you do now. The happier and more positive the memory is, the more capable of transforming your current mood it will be! You can increase the effectiveness of channeling positive memories by using visualization techniques. Visualization techniques help you enliven the memory by helping you use visual cues. You can learn more about visualization here Consciously acknowledging that it’s there, even if you don't like it, will put you more at peace. Sometimes it's best not to shy away from your mood or resist it aggressively, knowing that it will pass in due time. In these cases you may want to lay low until you're feeling a bit better (out of respect for others and for your own long-term goals).

SUMMARY: Tune into your murky mood. Examine the moment more closely. Channel positive memories. Accept your mood.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Starting on the outside, peel back the vertical strips. Place a dab of glue on the exposed horizontal row, then press the strip back into place. Repeat this step for the inside of the basket.  A glue stick will work just fine. If you choose to use liquid glue, secure the paper with a paper clip until it dries. Use hot glue for felt or plastic. Your basket has vertical strips and horizontal strips. The vertical strips come from the base and sides of the basket. The horizontal strips come from the squares you made. When you first cut your paper, you made the vertical strips a little longer than necessary to allow room for weaving. As such, you may have some excess material sticking out over the top of your last row. Trim these strips down until they are flush with the last, horizontal row. If you made your basket multiple colors, then you can choose any of these colors for the handle. If your basket is all 1 color, then match the handle color to the basket. If you made a different sized basket, measure the height of your basket. Multiply it by 3, then add 2 inches (5.1 cm). Place the left end of the handle against the left side of the basket, and the right end against the right side of the basket. Make sure that both ends of the handle are on the inside of the basket, then slide them down until they hit the bottom of the basket.  If the handle is too long, cut the ends shorter. If the handle is too short, move it upwards. Use tape or clothespins to temporarily secure the handle in place. Pull away 1 side of the handle, coat it with glue, then press it back into place. Repeat the process for the other side of the handle. Alternatively, you can just weave both ends of the handle through the strips in the basket. A glue stick will work just fine here, but liquid glue will be even better. If you made a felt or plastic basket, use hot glue. Most baskets are pretty delicate to begin with, but homemade baskets are even more fragile. Unless your basket is made from plastic or foam, you should avoid getting it wet. Also, don't carry anything too heavy inside your basket.  A paper basket is great for kids' Easter baskets with plastic eggs. You can store heavier items in you basket, but you don't be able to carry your basket around; otherwise, it may break.

SUMMARY: Glue the top edges of the vertical strips down to the last square. Trim the vertical strips that are sticking out over the top of the basket. Cut one 18 by 1 in (45.7 by 2.5 cm) strip of paper for the handle. Tuck the handle into the basket so that the ends touch the base. Secure the handle with glue. Use the basket with care.
