Problem: Article: Work out what things stand in the way of you being more disciplined at the moment. They may be character flaws, an inability to articulate what you want out of life or a preference for losing yourself in stimulants or addictions. Perhaps you conform too much without thinking for yourself; this can make it easy to follow someone else's ideas of discipline without working out discipline that works for you and fulfills your own real needs. Whatever the reason, try to determine it first.  Why do you feel you are not disciplined enough now? What are the factors standing in the way of you being more disciplined? As well as assessing your own limitations, consider how others in your life impact you. Are you pleasing others too much to spend time on yourself? Are you always giving in to other people's wants and letting yours go by the wayside? This is especially important if you spend a lot of time just pleasing others. It will be a lot more difficult to stay disciplined if you feel you need others to form boundaries for you or to tell you how to act and think or what to do. What voices in your head tell you that you're unworthy or a failure? These are negative thoughts that have no basis and need to be tackled in order to introduce self care and discipline in your life. You may need counseling or it could be sufficient for you to work through your negative thoughts using mindfulness or cognitive behavioral techniques.
Summary: Analyze yourself first. Seek to convince yourself that you want to learn discipline for the purpose of believing in yourself.

Problem: Article: Good quality meat should be flavorful on its own and won’t need to be brushed with various seasonings before it goes on the grill. You can always add salt and pepper once you get your steak to add a little seasoning if you prefer. Remember that the most tender cuts (like the filet mignon) aren’t going to be the most flavorful. If your steak comes with a mushroom and onion topping or a special in-house sauce, ask for it to come on the side. This will let you enjoy the flavor of the steak on its own before adding anything additional to your palate. Tell the server what cut of meat you would like, what temperature you would like it cooked to, and any additional requests. If you like a well-done steak, that is okay! Or if you prefer a rare cook, that’s alright, too. Don’t feel pressured into ordering what “experts” say is the best option. At the end of the night, you will enjoy your meal more if it’s made the way you like it. If you get your order and your steak isn’t prepared the way you requested, it’s okay to send it back. You’re paying for the meal to be done to your specifications and should get what you ask for.
Summary: Tell the server “No seasonings” to enjoy the flavor of the meat. Ask for sauces on the side. Order what you want with confidence.

Problem: Article: The key is a small box that identifies the symbols or colors that you used throughout your map. These will help the viewer to understand what a type of line or mark means, as well as why you chose to use a particular color. Be sure to include every symbol you used in your key, so that you don’t confuse the viewers. The key is sometimes also called a legend. The scale designates how many miles/kilometers are represented in a square inch/centimeter on the map. You can create a scale by drawing a small ruler on the bottom that shows how much distance is portrayed in a small section of area. You may also add an inset map of a zoomed in or zoomed out portion to show the scale more accurately. If you’d rather, you can add a ratio for your scale instead of drawing anything (such as 1”: 100 miles). You can show the orientation of your map by adding a compass rose on some portion of the blank space. This will show the way the directions work, such as North/South and East/West. This is particularly helpful if the orientation of your map is non-traditional, such as having North located near the bottom. Latitude and longitude lines may not need to be used on a fantasy map, but are almost always required on a true-to-life map. These lines divide the map vertically and horizontally, so that specific locations can be found by looking at coordinates within these lines. Be sure that these lines are perfectly straight and evenly spaced. The area shown on maps, both physical and political, often change over time (even in a fantasy map). Therefore, you will need to make note of the time or date that the map is depicting somewhere on the page. You may also want to include the date that the map was originally drawn, although it is more important to make note of the date range the map depicts. You may be interested in writing a few explanatory notes on your map somewhere. These are not required, but are particularly helpful if your map is not a traditional set-up or if it is a fantasy map you have created. These traditionally go along the very bottom border of the map, so that the reader knows they are not meant to match up with a specific location on the map.
Summary: Create a key. Add a scale. Show the orientation. Add latitude and longitude lines. Give a time/date. Add any further explanatory notes.

Problem: Article: If you have a hazmat suit, get into it at the first threat of gas exposure. If you have a gas mask, put it on as well. A mask or suit may not prevent you from gas exposure, but it can decrease it until help arrives or the attack subsides.  For example, nerve agents, such as VX, cause damage through skin contact, so only a full weapons-grade hazmat suit will protect you. Make sure that your suit or mask fits you securely. A mask or suit with gaps on the edges can easily let gas slip inside. Some suits or masks also require power sources, typically batteries, or air canisters. You should always store your protective gear with extras of these important components. If you are without a mask or suit, pull up your shirt so that the fabric covers your mouth and nose. The fabric will act as a temporary, makeshift air filter. A government-grade gas mask is an even better option, but in an emergency, this will create a temporary, usable mask. The urine will absorb into the cotton/fabric and crystalize the chlorine gas. This type of mask also only lasts until the urine dries out.  A handkerchief or any other fabric can also be used as the base of the mask. Watch out for the tell-tale scent of bleach that often indicates a chlorine attack. This type of mask was used by soldiers in WWI to survive chlorine gas attacks. As soon as you are in a safe place, take off the clothing that you were wearing during the attack. Take care to touch it as little as possible to avoid spreading the gas remnants to your hands. Then, seal the clothing twice over in a plastic bag or bin. If possible, cut your clothes off instead of pulling them up over your head, which can help limit your exposure to the gas. Take a hot shower for at least 10 minutes to help cleanse your skin of the gas. Scrub your whole body with soap, if available. Rinsing your eyes out with clean water or saline for 5-10 minutes can also help to minimize the possibility of eye damage.
Summary:
Put on any protective gear that you own. Hold a urine-soaked cotton cloth on your face in the event of a chlorine attack. Remove and dispose of your clothing if you’ve been exposed to gas. Rinse your body off with clean water.
