Q: Some things are simply beyond your control, but sometimes it can be difficult to know what you can and cannot control. By taking a moment to think about the situation, you may be able to tell if it is within your control or not.   For example, losing your job because of a bad economy is an example of something you can't control. However, deciding on how you are going to react to losing your job in a bad economy is something that is within your control. Try to avoid engaging in unhealthy behaviors over the things you cannot control, such as blaming yourself for something you had no control over. . Being resilient encompasses many different qualities, but doing so can help you to cope with whatever life hands you a little better. Some things you can do to become a more resilient person include:  Working on your self-discipline. Learning how to accept yourself and other people. Becoming more decisive. Improving your communication skills. Setting goals and working to achieve them. . Your life will change in small and dramatic ways sometimes, and while you may not be in control of these changes, you can work to become more adaptable to them. Adapting to change can be difficult, but looking for the opportunities and positive aspects of changes in your life may help. Resisting changes in your life may cause you to feel anxiety.
A: Identify what you can control and what you can't control. Develop a resilient mindset Cope with change

Q: Stressful situations release hormones and endorphins in the bloodstream, which, in turn, deposit toxins in the liver and slow it down. Eliminate stress in any areas of your life that you can. Consider anti-stress activities like yoga and meditation. When you expose yourself to chemicals, your liver has to work overtime to keep you healthy. Reduce the number of chemicals you are exposed to by using cleaning products made from natural ingredients. Also helps to use organic and natural products for you own personal hygiene. The more toxins in the air, the more toxins your liver has to remove from your body. Air purifiers are particularly good investments if you live in the city or near a highway, as cars deposit many toxins into the air. Exercise helps you maintain a healthy body weight, which in turn lowers your risk of fatty liver disease. Exercise also improves the function of liver enzymes. However, excessive weight training is connected with elevated liver enzymes, which is why you should stop exercising 48 hours prior to a liver function test.
A: De-stress your life. Use natural house cleaning products. Consider using an air purifier in your home. Exercise as much as possible.

Q: Combine the leaves from your small bunch of mint with your equal parts of water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. This could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Let the syrup sit in your refrigerator for about an hour, or until it feels cool.  If you want to cool the syrup down faster, place it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Before chilling the syrup, make sure that you transfer it into a heatproof bowl. If you use a plastic bowl, the heat from the syrup could cause the plastic to start melting. Once the syrup feels cool, pour it through a strainer or small colander. Collect the syrup in a bowl beneath the strainer and filter out the leaves.  You only need 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of this syrup for your shamrock shake. The rest can be saved in a sealed container for another dish, though. Discard the mint leaves you strained out. Add the ingredients to an electric blender and whip together on a high speed for 15 to 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined. Taste the shake before serving it. If the mint flavor is not strong enough, you can add more mint syrup or more mint extract. If the alcohol taste is not strong enough, you can add a bit more whiskey. Be aware, though, that adding more liquid will cause your shake to thin out. Pour the shamrock shake into one or two serving glasses. Decorate each one with a generous helping of whipped cream topping and a bright red maraschino cherry.
A: Heat the mint leaves and sugar in water. Chill the mint syrup. Strain out the mint leaves. Combine 2 Tbsp (30 ml) mint syrup with the ice cream, milk, whiskey, mint extract, and food coloring. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry, if desired.

Q: Almond milk can be drunk in the same way as milk. It can usually be found in 3 flavors: plain, vanilla and chocolate. The plain variety can be sweetened or unsweetened. Manufacturers recommend shaking the container of almond milk prior to drinking it as there may be some settlement at the bottom. Almond milk, in any flavor, can also be added to coffee or tea, just like normal milk or cream. Almond milk can be used in smoothies instead of traditional dairy products. Simply combine fruit (frozen is best) and the almond milk in a blender and pulse it until it is combined. You can adjust the amount of almond milk to make your smoothie more or less thick. Add a pinch of saffron (kesar) to half a cup of luke warm regular or almond milk and let it rest till you prepare the rest of the ingredients. This lets the colour and flavour infuse with the milk. Blanche 1-2 blanched de-seeded dry dates (add as per your taste).  Pour 1 1/2 cups of chilled almond (badaam) milk in a blender. Add the ground ingredients and sugar (optional) and blend for few seconds.  Note: It is better to blend the dates alone first and then add the other ingredients, as dates may not crush up well when blended along with the milk.
A:
Drink almond milk. Use almond milk in smoothies. Make Indian style kesar-badaam using almond milk: Grind these dates with one pod of green cardamom and 2-3 almonds and 2-3 cashew nuts. Roast 2-3 pistachio nuts and 1 almond and chop them into slivers. Add the half-cup of saffron with milk and mix. Garnish with slivers of roasted nuts and serve.
