Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Boost your self-esteem. Take care of your health. Express your feelings. Develop your interests.

Answer: If you focus on yourself and your self-esteem you can deal with an ex who seems ok after your breakup. Boosting your self-esteem will make it possible for you to recover from the breakup and be okay like your ex.  Make a list of all of the good things about you. Include things about the way you look, skills you have, and things about your personality. Use positive self-talk with yourself. For example, get in the mirror and tell yourself, “I’m a great person with a lot of great qualities.” When you are dealing with a breakup, even if your ex seems fine, you need to do things to make sure that you are fine. It will be much harder for you to deal with your ex if you are tired, hungry, or just plain not feeling well.  Avoid eating junk foods as a comfort. Instead, eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Get 6 – 8 hours of sleep each night. An hour before bed, start preparing yourself to settle down and rest. Participate in physical activity on a regular basis. For example, start jogging, go swimming, or join an athletic team. Do not turn to drugs or alcohol for comfort. You can deal with an ex who seems fine after your breakup if you make sure that you aren’t bottling your feelings up. Doing this can stress you and make the breakup more difficult to handle. Cope with the breakup and with your ex by expressing your feelings appropriately. Talk to friends and family members to help you process your feelings.  Talk to someone close to you about how you are feeling. For example, you might say, “Would you mind talking with for a little while. I’m having some feelings about my breakup.” Avoid trying to talk to your ex about how you are feeling. They may not want to talk or respond to you the way you want them to. Try expressing yourself creatively. For instance, write a song or a poem or paint a picture about how you are feeling. During your relationship you may have stopped doing some of the things you like to do in order to make time for your partner. You can deal with an ex who seems fine after your breakup if you focus on doing things that you enjoy and are interested in.  Make a list of activities and events that you would like to participate in. Pick one thing off of the list and get information on how to participate in the activity. Make a list of skills and talents that you want to develop and how you can do so. For example, you might put fencing lessons on your list.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide what kind of editor you want to become. Consider whether you'd like to go to school in order to eventually become an editor. Gain initial experience through volunteering or internships. Consider starting off as a ghostwriter or fact-checker. Market yourself to as broad a range of prospective employers as your specialization allows.

Answer: Identifying which industry you want to work in and the kind of editing you want to do will help you determine the kind of training you'll need. There's a ton of leeway when it comes to deciding what kind of editor you may want to become. Figuring out which kind you're really drawn to is the fun part!  You should enjoy the field in which you wish to edit, such as loving literature to be a book editor or sports to edit a sports magazine. You should also develop your knowledge in that field. Knowing the types of editing can also help you determine what kind of training you need. To become a content editor, you'll need to improve your writing skills in order to revise the content submitted by others. To become a copy editor, you'll need to improve your grammar skills to proofread for grammar and punctuation errors. Some specialty areas, such as legal, technical or medical publishing, may require learning a specialized style guide. Other areas require learning supplemental skills; to work as a design editor, you need to develop layout and graphic design skills. Many, many people go to college and end up getting a degree in English, but not too many people go to school specifically to become an editor. Although you should absolutely pursue your dream of becoming an editor if you have one, know that many people who graduate with degrees in English regret not having chosen a degree with a more solid economic pathway to freedom.  Formal college training is decidedly helpful but not always necessary in becoming an editor. A degree in English, journalism, or communications is helpful in getting an in-house editorial position, and there are degree and certificate programs in writing and editing. However, if you write and edit well, you may be trained on the job. To become a freelance editor, it's more important to demonstrate the ability to edit than to have a degree, although it may be necessary to get a degree if you seek in-house experience before freelancing. If you're still in college, look for internships that provide you with hands-on experience. If you're out of college, volunteer your services to charitable and other non-profit organizations or to friends or colleagues, or trade your services with someone whose products or services you need. Some employers use interns as gofers instead of giving them actual editing-related work to do. If in doubt, check with others who have interned there before accepting an internship. With editing, as with many other professions, there's usually a chain of command that you need to slowly work your way up, in order to be given the reins. Although it's not necessary to start off as a fact-checker or ghostwriter, it's definitely easier to get your foot in the door; once you have your foot in the door and impress people with your timely writing, sharp intellect, and willingness to work, it's much easier to move up from the inside than it is from the outside looking in.  Ghostwriters often learn to work with individual writers and establish long-term relationships with them. The downside is that you won't necessarily get the credit that you deserve (which is bigger than you might think), but the upside is that you'll establish a relationship with a writer who knows a lot of other writers and editors. Nurture these connections if possible. Fact-checker jobs are often entry-level, right beside internships. Although normally tedious and having little to do with actual writing, many find the job to be a great way of building journalism chops and networking while angling for a better position. At some publications, such as the New Yorker, fact-checker positions can be prestigious, while at Der Spiegel, they can be numerous. Be versatile. Think of yourself as a trusty Swiss-army knife, capable of doing many things at once in many different situations. The more skills and abilities you have under your belt as an editor, the better your employment opportunities will be. For example, you can market your editing skills to aspiring authors as well as to book publishers and book packagers or market your design editing skills to advertising agencies as well as graphic design firms.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Face your heartbreak head on. Remember that it is okay to feel sad. Cry.  Release your negative thoughts Examine your relationship.

Answer:
You've been hurt, and you feel sad. These are normal emotions, and you need to accept that they are happening. Don't lie to others, and yourself, by saying "I'm fine" when you are not. You may be able to push it down for a while, but something else will bring it up again, and you'll be worse off because you weren't honest with yourself. In fact, it's okay to feel a whole range of emotions, including sadness, confusion, and anger. The key is not to let those feelings affect your whole life. Do not try to numb yourself to the pain or swear off relationships forever. These activities will only hurt you in the long run. Instead, give yourself time to feel the hurt. Crying is a good and healthy way to express extreme feelings, so if you feel like crying, let it out. Find a place where you can be alone, or with a good friend, and let the tears flow. It'll be over more quickly than you think, and you'll feel a little better afterward getting those emotions out. There are some places where that is inappropriate, public settings like a store or in class, so you'll want to be able to  control your tears in public. Breathe deeply (in through your nose and out through your mouth), and blink a few times to control the tears. You can try to distract yourself with some kind of physical movement like squeezing a stress ball. If a few tears do slip out, cover them with a yawn, or blame something like allergies or feeling sick. . Avoid letting negative thoughts control your worldview. These include filtering, that is looking at only the negative aspects of your situation, and personalizing, blaming yourself entirely for what happened. Keep an eye on yourself to see if you are looking at your situation this way, and from there look for ways to avoid those negative thoughts. An excellent way to expel negative energy is to  meditate. Put yourself in a comfortable seated position in a comfortable place, usually alone and away from distractions like television or other stimulating things. Breath deeply, and let your mind go by focusing on another object, repeating a mantra, or visualizing a peaceful place. Think about what went wrong, and why you two broke up. There is always a reason. Also think about what you liked in the relationship, and what things you would want to look for in a future partner. By working through these ideas, you can grow as a person, and find the right relationship later down the line. You may reach a point where you and your ex are comfortable becoming friends, but don't think too much about that early on. You need to give yourself space after the breakup.
