Rejection can tank your confidence, so try to find ways to remember how great you are. Sit down and make a list of all the reasons you are incredible. Don’t feel shy! No one has to see the list but you.  Your list might include traits like, “good listener,” “artistic,” and “compassionate.“ If you have trouble coming up with traits, ask your best friend or your parents. These people will probably recognize all of your great qualities. Counteract a bruised ego by doing something out of the box. When you try something new, you become aware of hidden talents and abilities. It doesn’t have to be anything extreme, just something a little different from your typical activities or hobbies. For example, you might sign up for a Flamenco dancing class, or plan a short trip to a nearby city on your own. The aftermath of rejection may bring lots of negative thoughts. Crowd out the negative by increasing the positive thoughts you have. Repeat positive affirmations throughout the day. If you can’t think of any, you can find some by doing a quick search online.  Examples of positive affirmations may be “I am good at many things,” “Lots of people love to be around me,” or "I am a lovable person!" Repeat these affirmations each morning after you wake and periodically throughout the day when you feel down on yourself. The best fix for a bruised ego is feeling loved. Make an extra effort to be around all the people in your life who cherish you. Spend more time with your close family by languishing over meals or having a game night. Plan to hang out with your dearest friends, too. You shouldn’t count on others to make you feel good about yourself. Still, it can help to bounce back after a rejection by putting yourself on the market and trying again with someone else. This isn’t the time to get seriously involved with anyone while you’re still nursing your wounds after the rejection. But, it can take your mind off things and be fun to date someone casually.  Go up and talk to the girl who tries to catch your eye at the coffee shop. Or, finally, say “yes” to a movie with the guy who’s been asking for weeks. Let the person know up front that you’re getting over someone else and not looking for anything serious. Just have fun and see where it goes.

The cornstarch in a homemade spray has a tendency to settle at the bottom of the spray bottle when it’s sitting on the shelf. Before using the spray always give the bottle a good shake to ensure that the ingredients are mixed. The cornstarch is less likely to separate if you use the heated method to make it, but it’s still a good idea to shake it before each use. Lay the item of clothing or fabric that you want to smooth out on flat surface. Lightly spray the item with the cornstarch mixture across the entire surface. A little bit of the spray goes a long way so don’t oversaturate your fabric. After you’ve applied the spray, run your iron over the fabric to smooth it as you normally would. Work until you’ve removed all of the wrinkles and added whatever creases you’d like to the fabric. Be careful when using a hot iron. It’s easy to burn yourself.

Make sure there are 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5cm) of water above the eggs. This will help to keep the eggs inside their shells if they break. A roiling boil may crack the eggs. Some people prefer to hard boil the eggs by placing them in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. This depends upon your taste preference, since some people believe slightly softer yolks taste better.    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cc\/Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/v4-459px-Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/cc\/Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/aid2780840-v4-728px-Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":306,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"485","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}  Remove any eggs that cracked during the boiling process.
