Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rename your flaws. Make a list of all your strengths and abilities. List things you are proud of. List and become aware of your unique tendencies or needs. Think about past experiences. Reframe your thoughts.

Answer: Avoid calling your flaws "flaws." Instead, see them as characteristics, rather than judging them harshly. Instead, see them as "quirks", "habits" or "something I do."  Do not label your characteristics as flaws. You can label yourself as "shy" or "withdrawn"--something that is probably bad. Or, you can simply think of yourself as a person who takes a while to warm up to new people -- which is totally normal. Use language that is loving and detailed rather than vague and judgmental. Look in the mirror everyday and say, "I really love myself." Literally say it out loud. Get on top of a high building and shout "I'm proud of myself." Say, for example, your flaw was being extremely ugly. If so, get on top of your roof and shout, "I'm ugly and I'm proud." People will respect you for your newfound bravery. Is it a "quirk"? A relatively harmless flaw may not really need "fixing"; you just may need to learn to work with your differences. Is it something that is sometimes useful? Some characteristics are sometimes a good thing, but sometimes a bad thing. That is not a flaw; it is just something that you have to work on to know when to use it, and when you have to approach things a different way. For example:  Stubbornness can be Determined. A stubborn person may be steadfast at the wrong time, and that may get problematic. But being steadfast about the right things can be a real gift.  Perfectionism sometimes is perfect. Perfectionists run into trouble when they try to make an imperfect world fit to exacting standards and get upset when the world will not cooperate. But surgeons, Olympic athletes, and engineers thrive in jobs where perfection is the goal. Include everything that occurs to you. Do not eliminate any quality because you think it might be redundant or unexceptional. List things like patience, kindness, bravery, determination, taste, intelligence, or loyalty. Sometimes there is so much focus on flaws, that the strengths a person possess get lost. Having a comprehensive self-image will help you take a more balanced view of yourself.  If you are feeling too down on yourself to make a list, free write for a while first. Also get ideas from friends and family. Sometimes others see good things in us that we do not always acknowledge in ourselves. And often these qualities are not said enough. List accomplishments such as achieved goals, moments you surprised yourself, and hard times you survived. You can be proud of recovering from a hard situation, being present for someone who was in a hard time, completing projects at work or in school, or things you have learned. Write down your masteries, the things you have learned to do well. Writing freely, list the things you do that you don't feel good about. List things about yourself that you wish would change. Be as specific as possible. For example, instead of writing "The way I look," write "I don't like it when my skin breaks out." If you are writing about an incident, put it in as much context as possible. Ask yourself how you got your habits and way of being. Are they cultural? Familial? Biological? When do they happen? Were you criticized by others? Have you absorbed messages from companies trying to prey on your insecurities to sell you something?  If you say things you later regret, ask yourself if this is a lack of tact you learned from your family, or if it is your reaction to awkward situations.  If you spend too much money, ask yourself what triggers these incidents, how you first started spending money, and what you hope for when you are spending. The more you can understand these past behaviors, the more likely you can forgive yourself for them. What made you consider each of these things as "flaws"? Do these qualities have positive sides? Look at your list of strengths and ask yourself if any of the strengths listed are also connected to the qualities you viewed as "flaws." Start to think about your characteristics in a positive way.  Maybe you feel that you are too emotional. Reframe this thought to remind yourself that your emotionality is the reason why you have strong empathy skills to comfort others during hard times, and why people seek you out for care and assistance. Or perhaps you feel that you are too excitable, but that may tie into your incredible creativity. Positive reframing will not change these qualities, but it can give you a healthy change in perspective that will help you accept yourself.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply several coats of waterproof sealer. Tidy the inside edge. Add any desired embellishments. Let everything dry. Wear the shoes.

Answer: Once the shoes have dried, you should apply some form of waterproof sealer so that they can be worn in any kind of weather without a problem.  Mod Podge and several other pastes can actually create a waterproof seal, so you can use several coats of this if desired. Clear varnish and sealing lacquer are other options worth considering. Regardless of the option you choose, let the sealer dry for a few hours in between each separate coat and wait for the final coat to dry completely before proceeding. While not strictly essential, you may wish to mask the messy, uneven inside edge. You won't be able to see this inner edge while the shoes are on your feet but you will see it when the shoes are off.  Begin by trimming away any paper that is not stuck in place. The simplest option is to paint over the messy patchwork edge with a paint color that matches the inner lining of the shoe. Another option would be to glue a ribbon around the entire inner edge of the shoe. Doing this would hide the messy inner edge while creating an aesthetically interesting accent. You can keep the shoes as they are at this point, but you could also add other embellishments to the surface to create a slightly different look. Some possible options include sequins, glitter, buttons, and bows. Make sure that any glue, sealer, and paint has dried before you handle or wear the shoes. As a general rule, it is best to wait 12 to 24 hours after completing the shoes before actually wearing them. Your newly decoupaged shoes should now be complete and ready to show off.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase liquid bandage at your local pharmacy. Disinfect your cut. Apply the liquid bandage. Wait until the bandage falls off.

Answer: Liquid bandage works to seal your cut, keeping moisture in and germs out. It can last up to a week effectively. It can be a great option for children’s hands because you don’t need to apply a bandaid over the top. (Even though children often enjoy having a bandaid on, it can be a struggle to keep it on and the wound clean and protected.) Clean the skin with soap and warm water. Pat dry. It’s especially important when you have dry skin or go out into the cold throughout the day to properly dry your hands every time after washing them. It acts like glue, filling the cut and sealing it. It’s most effective for small and superficial wounds. It doesn’t need to be covered with a bandage. Avoid picking at it. It will typically take between five and 10 days for it to fall off. At that point, the cut should be healed.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Click Start. Go to Settings. Select Ethernet. Go to the Network and Sharing Center. Click on the icon next to "Connections. Click Details.

Answer:
The Network and Sharing Center is a feature of Windows 10 where you can find that status of your network, the type of connection you have, if you can connect to other computers other than your own, and if you are connected to your network or the internet. " This should correspond to your connection type, for example "Ethernet" will be paired with an ethernet cable "plug" and a wireless network connection will be paired with five bars. This will prompt a window to display that will show the details of your network connection.
