When you are not distracted by the demands of others on your time, your mind opens up to greater possibilities. Being alone is a great time to brainstorm a new business idea, write a novel, develop a new song, make pottery, improve your photography skills, and so on. Even if you do not work in an obvious creative field, you can still benefit from this creativity boost. Although you can pursue passions and interests with others, you can also have fun pursuing them alone. Whatever it is that makes you feel relaxed and happy, do it by yourself. This brings with it the added value of allowing you to relax and de-stress on your own. You can also do things that maybe your friends or partner are not interested in or do not have time to join in on. Solo activities cover the full spectrum of hobbies. You can go for a hike, read a book, visit a museum, or shop at a flea market. Just because you’re not spending time with any humans doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy time with an animal companion. Caring for pets can help you overcome a multitude of ills, such as loneliness, depression or anxiety. Pets influence us to go outdoors, they provide companionship without requiring conversation, and they help us make healthier decisions.

You might find, after doing this for a few days/weeks, that you have actually come to like solitude!
Summary: Develop a passion for art. Engage in a hobby. Play with a furry friend. Perform self-care activities.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pour the resurfacer powder into a 5 US gal (19 L) bucket, then add the water. Use a paddle attachment on a corded drill to mix the resurfacer. Keep mixing the resurfacer until it has a thick consistency like cookie dough.  Resurfacer can be purchased from your local hardware store. The amount of resurfacer you need depends on how many cracks and holes you need to fill. Start by mixing 1 cup (240 ml) of water with 3 1⁄2 pounds (1.6 kg) of resurfacer mix. Always wear rubber or nitrile gloves before touching the resurfacer. That way, it won’t dry on your skin. Use a trowel to transfer the resurfacer onto your concrete. Press the resurfacer into the crack so it fills it completely and so there aren’t any air bubbles. Once the crack or divot is full, smooth out the top of the crack with a flat trowel so it lays flush with the rest of the slab. Cracks only need to be filled if they go more than halfway through the concrete slab. Avoid filling in the joints between slabs. Don’t resurface the rest of your concrete until your patches are dry. In temperatures around 73 °F (23 °C), your patches should dry within 6 hours.  Drying time may take longer depending on your weather conditions. Avoid using resurfacer then the temperatures are below 50 °F (10 °C) or if there’s a risk of freezing weather within 8 hours of applying it.
Summary: Mix 1 part water with 7 parts resurfacer using a drill and paddle attachment. Fill the cracks with the resurfacer mix. Let the patches dry for 6 hours.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you get the color and texture you like, scoop the mixture into a small container. Use a mini spatula, butter knife, or spoon to help you.  You can find small containers in the paint section of an art store.

If you are in a rush, leave it in the fridge for a few hours until it hardens. You can apply it using your finger or a q-tip.
Summary:
Transfer the mixture to a small container. Let the lip gloss harden, then use it whenever you want a touch of color or sparkle on your lips.
