Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Distract yourself mentally. Relax your muscles. Breathe deeply. Avoid constrictive clothing. Avoid making any disruptive movements, such as bouncing, shaking, or jumping.

Answer: As your bladder fills, nerve endings in the pelvis send signals to your brain that it is time to relieve yourself. Because the urge to urinate originates from these nerve signals, try to distract yourself by thinking of something else.  Try to think complex thoughts, like brainstorming ideas for a new project at work or coming up with a solution to a scheduling issue at home. If you think of simple thoughts -- like counting to 10 or going over the alphabet -- this will not fully distract you from your body's signals to urinate. If you can wear headphones and have access to your phone or computer, try listening to the news or a podcast with a complex story. Taking in outside information will help you ignore the urge to pee. You will naturally feel the urge to cross your legs and keep pressure on your pelvis. While you can do this, you should keep the rest of your body relaxed as this will distract you from the discomfort of a full bladder.  Roll your shoulders backwards and forwards. Roll your head from side to side. This will relieve pressure on your spine and neck that you might feel if you are keeping a tense posture. If you are sitting, cross your legs so you exert slight pressure on your bladder. Square your shoulders and extend your spine. This will help you sit up straight. Do not slouch as this will put extra, unnecessary weight onto your bladder. If you are standing, position yourself with your feet parallel and your toes touching. Distribute your weight evenly across each leg and stand tall. You might feel the urge to cross your legs while standing, but try to avoid doing this. Crossing your legs will feel awkward because it will put an uneven amount of weight on one leg. If you cannot access a bathroom when you need to urinate, this will cause a significant amount of mental and physical stress. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm, pushing out the muscles in your lower belly as you inhale and drawing them back in as your exhale. This deep, measured breathing will relieve pressure on your pelvis. It will also relax other muscles in your body that may feel very tense or constricted. If you are wearing very tight jeans or shorts, try to loosen them or change into a different pair of pants. They may be putting undue pressure on your bladder. Obviously, if you are in public, do not unzip or unbuckle your pants. If you have to walk, move very slowly.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get used to a busy schedule. Try to take a day for yourself each week. Stay connected to your family and friends. Sleep as much as you can. Treat yourself now and then. Keep your jobs local, if possible.

Answer: Working two or more jobs means that you are going to be very busy most days. Try to start seeing this busy pace as your norm and welcome a bit of craziness into your life. Do your best to maintain a positive attitude and make the most of this chaotic period in your life. When working two or more jobs, it can be easy to forget to take time for yourself. But it is important to make sure that you have time to reconnect with friends and family, relax, and rest. If possible, set aside a day each week where you do not work any of your jobs. Plan a fun day with your family or friends, go to a museum, see a movie, or just lie around in your pajamas and read all day. Working two or more jobs may cause you to feel disconnected from the people you care about. Therefore, it is important to find ways to stay connected even when you can’t see people.  Call or text your friends often and use social media to update people on your whereabouts and accomplishments. Just remember that phone calls, text messages, and social media are not equal substitutes for face-to-face interactions with your loved ones, so schedule in-person meetings as well. Try meeting a friend for lunch or a quick drink after work. Working more than two jobs can lead to exhaustion and sleep deprivation. If you are going right from one job to the next or if you are working late nights at one of your jobs, you may have an even higher risk of becoming sleep deprived or suffering from exhaustion. Go to bed early if you have a long day ahead of you and take naps whenever possible. Even a 20-minute nap before heading to your second job may help you to feel more alert and refreshed. Many people work more than one job for financial reasons, but if you save every penny you earn, you may start to feel like there is no benefit to working so much. While you still want to use some of the money you earn on things that will benefit your financial health, such as credit card payments and savings, you should also treat yourself every now and then. Buy yourself a new outfit, get a pedicure, or go out to a fancy dinner with your friends once in a while. Long commutes can make your shifts at work seem even longer and lead to burnout. Therefore, it is best if you can work jobs that do not require much of a commute. Keep both of your jobs as local as possible to help keep your stress down.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plan out what you will say to him. Avoid giving reasons for why you did the action that upset your friend. Take full responsibility for your actions. Explain how you will make it up to him. Apologize to your guy friend.

Answer:
It is important to go into the apology prepared with what you will say. Typically, boys and men do not appreciate a lot “fluff;” rather, it is better to get right to the point.  “I need to apologize for what I did.” “I'm sorry for what I said the other day.” “I owe you an apology for the way I acted.” “I want to apologize to you about how I treated you.” Often, these simply come across as excuses for your behavior. If you feel the need to give a reason for your actions, it is best to stick to reasons that put the blame on you. For example, “I said those mean things about you because I felt pressured to fit in with that crowd.” Avoid saying statements like, “Well, I know I shouldn't have said those things, but you brought it on yourself.” In some cases, you and your friend might both be to blame for the disagreement. However, when you are apologizing, it is best to accept responsibility for your actions.  “I recognize that I was in the wrong.” “I know that what I did was rude, and you didn't deserve to be treated like that.” “I'm aware that I made a mistake.” “I made a mistake, and I fully accept that truth.” When you hurt a friend's feelings or somehow upset him, sometimes he loses trust in you. One way to rebuild that trust is to show him that you value the friendship and want to repair it.  “I'll buy you a replacement since I ruined yours.” “I don't like that they tried to make me bully someone to be friends with them, so I'm going to stay away from them. I already have great friends, like you.” “I'll apologize to your family, as well. That was a horrible thing of me to say.” “I will always be honest with you from now on. Your friendship means a lot to me.” Once you have drafted everything you want to say to him in your apology, carry it out.  Follow through with meeting him in person to apologize or be sure to give him a call. If you chose to write him a letter, then leave it somewhere he will find it or mail it to him. Remember to not make excuses while you talk with him. Remain calm while giving your apology. Crying will likely make him feel guilty, when you are the one at fault, and getting angry will turn the conversation into an argument. Allow him to interrupt if he becomes upset or wants to say something, and do not react negatively if you do not like what he says. This shows him that you are serious and respect his friendship.
