Problem: Article: A ritual release is a mental exercise that can help you forget a memory. To begin the exercise, transform a scene from the spoiler into a detailed mental snapshot. It could be an old-timey black-and-white photograph, or a more recent color printout. Either way, make sure the mental photograph is a three-dimensional object in your mind. Start by picturing the edges of the photo curling up and turning brown. Watch as the fire burns through the mental image until the entire photograph has finally turned to ash and crumbled away. A ritual release can also be conducted using another mental image in place of the imaginary photograph. For example, you could imagine the spoiler as a car sinking into a lake or as an ice cube slowly melting away in the sun. The memory of the spoiler may not disappear immediately. If so, repeat the mental exercise daily until the details begin to fade away.  It may take about a month for the process to take hold.  This mental exercise may not work for everyone since old memories are never completely erased.
Summary: Picture a part of the spoiler that you want to forget. Imagine that you have set the mental photograph on fire. Repeat the ritual regularly.

Problem: Article: Basic pressure-mounted gates fit spaces between 26 inches (66 cm) and 38 inches (97 cm). However, certain manufacturers make models to fit openings up to 62 inches (160 cm). Make sure to measure the space you'd like to block off and purchase the appropriately sized gate. If you have a particularly long area to gate off, look for models with optional extensions or panels that you can purchase separately. Some pressure-mounted gates, especially those with a door in the middle, will extend to meet the walls using a small cups on each corner of the gate. To install these models, place the gate into the opening and spin the bolts to extend the wall cups to meet the door frame or wall. You'll be able to tell that the gate is correctly fitted when there is no gap between the frame and the handle of the door.  Some pressure-mounted baby gates have two sliding panels that you can adjust to make the gate fit the opening (you'll remove the panels or slide them to the side to walk through). Pull the panels away from one another until they extend to fill the entire doorway or wall space. The pressure of the panels against the walls or door frame should hold the gate upright.  Other gates may extend in different ways. Make sure to follow the manufacturers' instructions and call the manufacturer directly if you have any questions or concerns.  The bottom of the gate should be no more than 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the floor to prevent trapping hazards. The pressure bar serves as a locking mechanism to hold the gate in place. To use it, simply press the pressure bar down towards the ground until it is entirely straight.  When you install the gate, make sure that the pressure bar is located on the side of the gate away from the child so that your child can't use it to climb up and over the gate.  Not all pressure-mounted baby gates will have an additional bar or locking mechanism to secure them into the space. Those that attach using wall cups will be secure without one thanks to the nut and bolt extensions. Pressure-mounted gates are not as stable as hardware-mounted gates so they can't hold up to the same amount of force. However, they should still be able to withstand some pushing. If it's easy to knock the gate over, try lifting the locking mechanism and extending the panels so they rest more snugly against the walls or door frame. Once the gate is installed, check it regularly to make sure it remains stable.
Summary: Measure the opening where you'd like to place the gate. Extend the gate to fit the space. Lock the gate into place using the pressure bar if your model has one. Test the gate repeatedly by pushing and pulling on it.

Problem: Article: Your doctor may also recommend that you get hand therapy, a special kind of physical therapy that focuses solely on the hands and wrists. You will be required to go to regular sessions and perform a variety of exercises meant to strengthen your hands and reduce your pain. Your hand therapist may also request that you do exercises at home between appointments. If you want your condition to improve, it's very important that you do them as instructed. If you need pain relief, but you're not ready for surgery, you can consider seeing a doctor to have injections in your wrists. These normally only provide temporary pain relief.  Steroid injections are commonly used to relieve pain from carpal tunnel syndrome. Botox injections may also help your condition. If you're looking for a drug-free way to treat your pain, you may want to look into acupuncture and cupping. Both techniques rely on the theory that the body has multiple pressure points that can be stimulated to reduce pain. Acupuncture involves the use of small needles, while cupping involves placing a series of glass cups on the body's pressure points to create suction. For most people, surgery is a last resort, but if carpal tunnel syndrome is interfering with your life and nothing else is working to improve your symptoms, it may be the best option for you. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of surgery to determine if it is right for you.  Carpal tunnel release surgery involved cutting the tissue around the medial nerve in order to release the pressure. There are two types of carpal tunnel surgery: open release surgery requires a two-inch long incision, while endoscopic release surgery requires two smaller incisions, which may reduce the patient's pain and recovery time. It can take several months to fully recover from carpal tunnel surgery, although you may experience relief of your symptoms immediately after the procedure. . Obesity can be related to carpal tunnel syndrome, so a structured weight loss program may improve carpal tunnel symptoms. Make sure that you discuss your options with your physician before making any drastic changes to your diet.
Summary:
Get hand therapy. Try injections. Try acupuncture or cupping. Have surgery. Consider starting a weight loss program
