Focus your attention outward rather than in. Direct yourself to focusing on loving and helping others. Loving and helping others may boost your self-esteem and make you feel much better about yourself.  This love may also be reciprocated, making you feel even better and more comfortable in your own skin. There are a number of ways to care more about others. You can:  Buy tickets for the people behind you in line at the movies. Donate your time to a charitable cause you care about. Buy a nice warm blanket or meal for a homeless person. Spend time thinking about what makes someone in your life great. Write him a letter saying as much and thanking him for being a part of your life. You may not be able to look in the mirror because you don't like how you look. While for the most part, your physical appearance is there to stay and it is psychologically important to learn to embrace yourself for who you are, you can in some cases take steps to actively change the way you look.  If you are struggling with accepting the way you look and you are overweight, engage in steps to reduce your body fat. Try eating slightly smaller meals, say, by 10-15%; do your best to get regular exercise. If you do not like the way you look, you can also try giving yourself a make-over. Go buy some new clothes, get a new haircut, try out some new make-up. Take a peek in the mirror and see what you think! If your negative thoughts stem from something you did or something you think about yourself, you may benefit from talking with someone about how you feel.  Let your feelings be known and this can help to heal them.   Ask a friend to talk about what is bothering you. You may find that even venting and getting things off your chest is helpful. Talk to a therapist. Seek out a psychotherapist in your area to help you work through your problems.  To find a local therapist, do an internet search with the terms "psychotherapist + your city's name or zipcode."

Studies show that by ‘power posing’ in this way for 2 minutes, you can come to actually feel more powerful and confident. To expand your posture, tilt your head back slightly, extend your arms or put them on your hips, stretch out your legs, and/or expand your chest. Go in front of the mirror and tell yourself you will only look at yourself in the mirror for 2 seconds. Glance up at the mirror, look yourself right in the eyes while counting to 2. Once you are able to do this, increase the time to 3 seconds, then 4, then 5. This is called exposure therapy and it can be an effective technique to overcome anxiety issues.

Q: This recipe makes use of store-bought pizza dough. However, feel free to use a homemade pizza crust, if you prefer. Using a store-bought crust, this pizza can be cooked and served in about 60 minutes. The yield is approximately 4 servings.  Scatter flour onto a flat work surface. Remove the dough from its packaging and leave it sitting out for about 20 to 30 minutes until it's room temperature. Roll the dough into a circle that is approximately ½ inch thick. Grab and pinch one of the edges with both hands, letting the dough hang down. Slowly work your way around the circle, pinching, until the dough is the size you want. Place the crust on a baking sheet that you've oiled or sprinkled with corn meal to prevent sticking. Rinse and slice all of your vegetables on the diagonal to be about ¼-inch (6.35 mm) thick. Slicing on a diagonal means to slice them thinly, at a slant and length-wise. Place the slices into a large strainer. Sprinkle salt all over them and allow them to sit like that for about 15 minutes. This will extract some of the natural water from the vegetables.  Rinse the salt off. Drain the veggies and use paper towels to blot them dry. Extracting the water makes the vegetables roast better. Vegetables with high water content will roast soggily. Extracting the water gives you a crisper result. Spread the vegetables out in one layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them and sprinkle the minced garlic. Reserve 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the oil. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast them for about 15 to 20 minutes.  When they are tender and darkened around the edges, they’re ready. Once they’ve cooled, feel free to slice the vegetables slightly thinner, if you prefer smaller pieces for toppings. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the thin layer of ricotta. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the veggies. Lastly, drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil you reserved over the pizza and top with the parsley. Place the baking sheet into your oven and allow the pizza to cook for about 15 minutes. You’ll know its read when the cheese has fully melted and the crust has become golden brown. Remove the pizza from the oven and slice it into wedges with a pizza cutter.  Serve immediately. Serve with a tossed salad and a nice red wine (optional).
A: Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare the vegetables. Roast the vegetables. Spread the ricotta cheese over the pizza crust dough. Bake the pizza for 15 minutes.

Article: If you are able to get seven to eight hours of sleep every night, you will begin reaping the benefits of beauty sleep without doing anything else! Good sleep helps prevent wrinkles and inflammation, stimulates muscle growth, and inhibits fat production. Make sure to wash the day away before bed. Residual dirt and makeup can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help prevent wrinkles and damage to your hair.  Changing your pillowcase often is also advised, as it can accumulate dirt and oil, which can lead to clogged pores. If you want to maximize wrinkle-prevention, sleep on your back so your face has virtually no contact with the pillow. Your skin is renewing itself while you sleep. Give it a boost by providing it with lots of moisture before bed. For added moisture, try using a mask instead of a lotion or cream.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Aim for eight hours. Wash your face. Choose the right pillowcase. Moisturize.
