Spray the solution and let it sit for 20 minutes. Once it’s done soaking, scrub it with a brush and then dry it up with a towel or shop vac. Repeat the process until the mildew smell begins to lessen in your car. You can also use regular dishwashing soap instead of vinegar, or even a tea tree oil and water mixture. Use 10-20 drops of tea tree oil in a spray bottle with water for a solution. Do a patch test on your carpet before cleaning with it to make sure it won’t stain. Lay down the borax directly on a mildew stain and let it sit for around 10 minutes. Vacuum up the borax, and repeat laying down more if the stain still remains. Borax is a safe solution to use on any surface of your car. Just make sure you vacuum up any you sprinkle around to clean. Check every surface that was damp to make sure it’s adequately dry before you begin reassembling your car. The foam backing under the carpet needs to be 100% dry, or mildew can still easily grow there. If you’re still smelling mildew, check to see if there isn’t a damp spot you missed.

summary: Use a vinegar and water solution to clean mildew out of your carpet. Sprinkle borax on any remaining mildew spots in the carpet. Make sure everything is dry before putting the sill down or the seats back.

Knowing when you are going to lose it and possibly turn violent can help you stop yourself before you lose control.  Monitor your thoughts and your physical body for signs of oncoming anger.  You might be on your way to violence if you begin to feel:  Tense muscles and clenched jaw Headache or stomachache Increased heart rate Sudden sweating or shaking A dizzy feeling Most people do not plan to engage in physical violence; it happens in the moment as a response to strong emotions or as a result of escalating conflict.  You can prevent yourself from responding to a trigger with violence if you strengthen your impulse control. Some strategies for developing or strengthening your impulse control include:  Practice delayed gratification.  Practicing delayed gratification in other areas can actually help you develop impulse control generally.  For example, if you always sit down and watch your favorite show as soon as you get home from work, try pushing the habit back an hour and getting a bit of housecleaning done first.  Accepting this delay will develop your willpower. Develop “if-then” scenarios ahead of time. For example, you might decide ahead of time, “if this person insults me or my friends, I will walk away.” Strengthen your body. Some studies have linked strengthening your muscles and body through regular exercise to increased impulse control and willpower. Accept that you dislike someone and that you feel angry whenever you are around him.  Know that that’s okay.  You may not be able to change the way that you think or feel about another person, but you can always choose how to act towards him.  Each time you speak or act, you are making a choice about what words and actions you use. For example, you can think to yourself, “I do not like this person.  The way he is talking to me and my friends makes me want to beat him up.  It is normal to feel angry and to dislike people, but I will not let him get the best of me by drawing me into a physical altercation. Exercise can help you get your “angry energy” out.  It can also help you feel better by triggering endorphins in your brain, which are neurotransmitters that make you feel happier. Consistent exercise can help regulate your emotions and strengthen impulse control over time as well as making you feel better in the moment.

summary: Practice becoming self-aware. Work on developing impulse control. Acknowledge your feelings. Get some moderate exercise.


Summarize the following:
Place the desired weight on each end of the barbell. Stand in front of the barbell with your feet shoulder- or hip-width apart. While bending slightly at the knees, lean forward at the hips until your torso is at a 45° angle to the floor. Maintain the natural arch in your lower back. It is always better to underestimate rather than overestimate the amount of weight you can lift. Lifting too much weight can lead to injuries. With your arms extended towards the floor, grip the top of the bar. Place your palms slightly more than shoulder width apart. Contract the muscles in your lower back and abdominal area. As you lift the barbell off the ground, extend your knees slightly while maintaining the position of your torso. Pause just before the barbell reaches your knees. This is the starting position. Some lifters prefer to lift the barbell only slightly off the ground. Doing so may cause you to strain your back. Exhale as you pull the barbell towards your lower chest. Keep your elbows tight against your body and your torso stationary. At the top of the lift, pause and contract your back muscles. Inhale as you lower the bar to its initial position (slightly below your knees). Repeat. Instead of executing a traditional bent over row with a barbell, try altering your grip to work a different muscle group or intensify your workout.  Use an underhand grip. Instead of grabbing the bar from above, grip the barbell from below. When your palms are facing up, you take the strain off your back by forcing your biceps and lats to do more work. Use a snatch grip. A snatch grip is a double wide grip. This grip requires your back muscles to work harder.
summary: Assume the correct form. Grab and lift the barbell. Execute the row. Experiment with different grips.
