Q: Holy basil tea is great for relieving mild, occasional bouts of emotional stress or receiving its health benefits in low doses. Take a cup when you're feeling nervous or overwhelmed to receive relief within several hours. You can buy holy basil tea at some alternative health stores or steep holy basil leaves in water yourself. Holy basil capsules or tablets are concentrated and offer a stronger dose than teas. Buy holy basil capsules online or at some health food stores, and take it with food or water to help your body absorb it quickly.  Because of their potency and relaxing supplements, holy basil capsules can be used as natural sleep supplements.  Never take more than the package's recommended dosage at a time. Holy basil soup is an effective way to receive its health benefits if you dislike the taste of tea. Holy basil pairs particularly well with shiitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms or astragalus, codonopsis, or burdock root in soups. If you'd prefer not to take holy basil as a tea, you can take a concentrated extract with other drinks. Buy a holy basil extract online or from a health food store and add several drops to water or another drink, depending on your preference.  You can also rub holy basil extract against the skin to relieve skin irritation or inflammation. Using an extract is an ideal way to take holy basil if you don't want to take a capsule but dislike the herb's distinct taste.
A: Drink a cup of holy basil tea to treat mild conditions. Take holy basil capsules for their potency. Steep holy basil leaves to make a medicinal soup. Try a holy basil extract to ingest it with any drink.

Q: Mix 1/2 teaspoon of dish-washing liquid and 1 tablespoon of ammonia in a spray bottle. Fill the bottle with cold water and mix your solution completely. Ammonia is a strong cleaner and can break down the protein in blood that makes it so hard to remove. It is important to dilute this cleaner before using it, and, as with any cleaning agent, it is best to test a small, hidden area first before using. Spray the solution on the blood stain and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. This will allow your cleaning solution to work its way deeply into the affected area, cleaning it more thoroughly. You should be careful not to scrub too hard, and to prevent this from happening, you may want to consider using a toothbrush to scrub your stain. Repeat the spraying, scrubbing and blotting process until the blood stain is gone or until you no longer see the stain coming off on your clean cloth. Rinse the remaining solution using a cloth dampened with cold water. It is important that you rinse thoroughly; leaving your cleaning solution behind may do damage to your upholstery. Pull the remaining moisture from the affected area by using a dry towel to dab it dry. Allow any remaining dampness to air dry.
A: Create your solution. Apply the solution. Scrub the affected area. Blot the spot with a clean cloth. Rinse the stained area. Dry the area.

Q: There are several websites out there where you can advertise for house cleaning services, or respond to an advertisement. You can post an ad on a website like Craigslist, where all sorts of services are offered. Or, you can advertise on a website made specifically for house cleaning, like housekeeper.com.  Do not respond to or create advertisements if you don’t feel comfortable with the website. Only create ads on well-known websites with a lot of information available about them. A secure website starts with “https” rather than “http.”  You can also search job websites under your desired category, like Indeed.com. Some websites, like monster.com, will allow you to respond to advertisements for house cleaning jobs. Depending on the website, you may or may not have to sign up and create a profile to respond. Respond to the advertisement stating things like your experience, availability, and expected salary. You can create an advertisement for yourself on websites like Craigslist, or through social media platforms like Facebook. Post about your experience, pricing, and availability. Be sure not to give away too much personal information. For example, you could say something like “I am a professional house cleaner with five years of experience. I provide excellent service at an affordable price.” Then, give your pricing and contact information. As far as personal information, it is okay to give away your first name and last initial, email address, and experience. It is better to wait to give more information, like your phone number, when you feel comfortable that you are corresponding with a legitimate person.
A: Browse websites. Respond to online advertisements. Create an advertisement.

Q: People generally consider the “rational mind” to be a good thing. We think of it as a function or process that guides our actions, logically, usually by avoiding emotion or biased judgment. Mind helps us to maximize good or benefit. For this reason, many philosophers tout mind as better than our more intuitive reactions.  What is the mind? This is a big philosophical question. Let’s be clear that we’re not just talking about your brain. The mind is more than just your brain. In part, it’s the seat of consciousness, the “I” that makes you who you are. The mind is also responsible for higher thought. It combines sense, thinking, judgment, and memory. It allows you to weigh cost and benefit to make reasoned decisions. Rational thinking is the ability to take many variables into account and to access, organize, and analyze information to reach a sound conclusion. Whether it is planning a budget, weighing the pros and cons of a new job, or arguing politics with friends, you use rational thinking every day. Rational thinking is very human. In fact, it’s what separates us from other animals and is how we are able to use tools, build cities, develop technology, and spread as a species. So, it is a very valuable, useful trait. As you can see, rational thinking is a big reason why we are here today. This does not mean that more is necessarily better, however. Star Trek fans know that super-rational beings like Mr. Spock or Data are not really human because humans also need emotion. We are not like machines.  To a certain point, rational thinking is beneficial. We can distance ourselves from strong emotions that might otherwise direct our decision-making. If emotion guided us, would people leave home to go to college, for example? Many would not – the emotional strain and distance from loved ones would be too powerful, even if they knew, in their mind, that college was good for them. Rational thinking can sometimes go overboard, however. We would probably be paralyzed if we based our decisions only on reason. All choices, big and small, involve so many variables that it would be impossible to decide without listening to the heart. What should you eat for breakfast, for example? Should it be the healthiest food? The best-priced food? The most time-saving? Without a bit of heart, you would never be able to decide.
A:
Start with the mind. Recognize rational patterns of thought. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of the mind.
