INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whenever you’re around your ex at the workplace, imagine you’re your boss is observing your every move. Doing this will ensure that you don’t say or do anything that reflects poorly on your personal or professional reputation. When the emotional wounds are still fresh, it can be tempting to make critical remarks about your ex in the workplace. You may even find yourself judging their efforts at work, although you never saw any issue before.  Skip the criticisms, as they’ll only make you the bad guy. Instead, show your professional integrity by finding something nice to say about your ex’s work. For instance, you might share with a coworker, “I really admire the creativity John has brought to the table on this project.” Speaking highly of your ex will earn you the respect of the entire office. Plus, you’ll feel pretty good about yourself, too. Avoid going overboard when complimenting your ex at work--otherwise, everyone may think you're still into them. There’s a good chance that your ex will move on after your breakup, and they might move on with another person at the office. Such a circumstance will likely test your strength of character. However, keep in mind that others will be watching you closely—don’t give them any reason to doubt your professionalism.  To reduce the bad energy, avoid your ex and their new lover as much as possible. When you must interact, keep it brief. If you must, use your lunch breaks to vent to an unbiased friend or journal about your feelings to release tension.

SUMMARY: Imagine your boss is watching. Avoid badmouthing your ex at work. Stay cool if your ex starts dating another co-worker.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Opening the door frequently increases the humidity levels inside your fridge and freezer which can lead to ice buildup and frost. Avoid leaving your fridge or freezer doors open when you’re deciding what to eat or trying to figure out which ingredients to pull out. Instead, make a quick mental list of what you’ll need so you can take all of those things out at one time. Only open 1 door at a time. Be as quick as possible and close the doors in under 1 minute.  For instance, if you’re going to be baking, take out the eggs, butter, and milk at one time. This way, you only have to open the door once. If you have a hard time remembering what you stock in your fridge, keep a list of what’s inside posted on the refrigerator door. If your fridge or freezer door are prone to sitting open, or if they swing wide open while you’re moving food in and out, this easily can raise the humidity levels inside your appliance, causing ice to build up. Ask another person to help you pull the fridge out about 1 ft (0.30 m) from the wall. Have your partner tilt the top of the fridge backward, toward the wall, to expose the front 2 feet. While they hold it in this position, twist the legs counterclockwise. Unscrew the legs slightly to make them a little taller. This way, gravity will encourage the doors to shut.  Once you’ve tweaked the legs, open the doors and see if gravity help them close naturally. If not, repeat this process to lift the front legs even higher. When you’re done, return the fridge back to its original spot. Loose hinges on your fridge or freezer doors will result in an incomplete seal; this will increase the humidity inside your appliance which may result in ice buildup. If you notice that the door or the screws on the hinges are wobbly, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws by turning them clockwise. Keep tightening them until they don’t spin around anymore. Depending on the type of fridge you have, you may have to lift off a plastic cover to expose the hinges. If the seals lining your fridge or freezer doors are caked with food residue or ice crystals, they won’t close properly. Working on 1 door at a time, use a damp cleaning cloth and mild dish soap to quickly scrub the inside of the seal. Clean off the frame of the fridge opening, as well, to ensure that the seal can sit flush against it. Use a dry towel to wipe off any remaining moisture and then shut the door. Make sure you don’t leave any moisture behind, as it might form an ice crystal. Look at the flexible rubber seal on the inside of your fridge and freezer doors. These are called refrigerator gaskets. If either one appears to be damaged, replace it to ensure that your appliance’s doors close completely. Contact your fridge manufacturer to order a replacement gasket. Once you have it, unplug your appliance and move all of the perishable items to coolers. Unscrew the damaged gasket and then screw the new one into place.  Make sure you know your appliance’s model number; you’ll need this in order to get the right replacement part. Test out the seal of your new gasket before you turn the fridge back on and start loading it up. It should sit flush against the frame of the fridge or freezer opening without any gaps.
Summary: Open the fridge and freezer doors as infrequently as possible. Raise the front legs so that your refrigerator doors close automatically. Tighten the door hinges if they’re loose. Wipe down the seals around the inside of each door to remove any residue. Replace a damaged door seal, or gasket, with a new one.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This can help you hone and understand your abilities as a medium. Try to meditate for around thirty minutes each day.  Choose a quiet spot to be a dedicated area for your meditation. Light a candle to focus on while you meditate. After your meditation, write down the strongest impressions, feelings, or images that came to you during that time. Look back on those notes at a later to date to see if a pattern emerges and to see if you can interpret a meaning from them. These may be messages from the spirit world. The more you meditate, the more you will be able to sharpen your focus. Your vision relates to your ability to see the past, present, and future. Even if you are highly intuitive, you’ll need to work to cultivate your vision to see truly.  Keep a journal. While meditation helps cultivate your understanding of the present, writing down your thoughts and days in a journal can help to stretch your memory, and in time, will help you see whether you can see past lives other than your own. Purify your thoughts. You can’t be a receptive vessel as a medium if your mind is clouded with negativity. Work to counter your negative recurring thoughts and focus on the positives. You will want to know if your friends have any insight into how you act when you’re unaware. This will give you an idea of your abilities and how you come across to others.  Often, mediums may give out deep advice that they don’t remember giving as soon as it’s left them. Write down what your friends tell you, so you can look back on it and connect it to other visions or feelings. Doubt is one of the many inhibiting factors people face as they are trying to understand whether they are a medium and learn how to enhance their ability.  Allow yourself to explore the possibility of your ability. Listen to your gut feelings. Spend time reading books about subjects like psychometry, numerology, scrying, tarot reading, and healing. This knowledge will help you to better connect to your own interpretive abilities and understand the symbols that you may already see. Look online for reviews of reputable psychics and mediums in your area. Go see one and ask them to read you.  While you are there, ask them how they knew they were a medium. Get a feel for their process, and look around to see what kinds of talismans they keep in their office.

SUMMARY:
Take time to meditate each day. Cultivate your vision. Ask your friends what you say to them. Listen to your intuition. Build up your spiritual knowledge base. Spend time with other mediums.
