Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice gratitude to improve your outlook. Recite positive affirmations about money. Let go of things that you cannot control. Start a visualization practice.

Answer: Learning to count your blessings can help you stop worrying and even create a better, more positive relationship with money. Each day, write out at least 3 things that went well. These can be relating to personal finances or life in general. A gratitude practice will make you feel more positive about your situation and cultivate awareness for your good fortune. To lower your stress about money, spend more time thinking positive thoughts about money rather than worried ones. You might try affirmations like:  “I am working toward my earning goals.” “I have everything I need to take care of myself.” “I am open and receptive to all the wealth life offers me.” Sometimes there is simply nothing you can do in the immediate moment to fix your financial problems. For example, maybe you just can't afford to pay your credit card debts right now. Make a plan for how you will deal with them when things get better, and then move on. Worrying about your debts will not make the problem go away faster. If you are getting calls from debt collectors, do not answer them until you are able to start making payments. Talking to collectors when there's nothing you can do will just add to your stress. Imagining yourself reaching your money goals or achieving financial stability may help you maintain momentum. Spend some time each day envisioning yourself achieving your goals.  Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax. Call to your mind's eye that vision you'd like to accomplish, such as saving $10,000. See yourself depositing the money at the bank. Feel the excitement of reaching your goal. Activate all your senses in this experience. You can also look up specific visualization exercises on YouTube relating to money.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See a doctor if there is blood or mucus in your stool. Go to the doctor if you have a fever that lasts longer than 24 hours. Talk to your doctor about prescription medication for severe diarrhea. Consider getting tested for food allergies.

Answer: This could be a sign that your severe diarrhea may be a symptom of a more serious medical condition. You should seek medical treatment as soon as possible if you notice any blood or mucus in your stool, or your child’s stool. If you are experiencing severe diarrhea and a fever that lasts longer than 24 hours, you should go to a doctor and get examined. You may not be able to keep down fluids or be urinating at all if your diarrhea gets very severe. The doctor will perform a physical examination and take a stool sample. The stool sample will allow your doctor to determine if the diarrhea is the result of a parasite infection. If your severe diarrhea does not seem to slow down within 24-48 hours, you should seek medical care. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antiparasitic medication. She may also put you on an IV if you cannot drink enough fluids to stay hydrated.  You should also let your doctor know if you have been camping or hiking in the wild recently, as there are a number of parasites and other microorganisms that can cause severe diarrhea. Your doctor may suggest anti-diarrheal medications, such as over-the-counter medications like Loperamide (Imodium) or Bismuth subsalicylate (Kaopectate, Pepto-Bismol). Or, she may recommend prescription anti-diarrheal medications like Lomotil, Lonox,  Loperamide, Crofelemer, Rifaximin, and Opium tincture/Peregoric. Severe and/or chronic diarrhea can be caused by medical issues like Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Crohn's disease, as well as parasite infections. Some severe diarrhea can also be caused by food intolerances. Your doctor can run tests on you to determine if you have a food allergy or intolerance to the following products:  Gluten, found in bread and wheat products Lactose, found in dairy products Casein, found in hard cheeses High fructose corn syrup intolerance, found in sweetened drinks and sauces


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go to his games. Watch the game while you are there. Cheer him on at the games.

Answer: Get a copy of his game schedule and put them all into your personal calendar. Plan to attend all of the games you can, but don't sweat it if you miss a few. Choose the games that are far away to skip. Conference games and playoff games are especially important.  Let him know ahead of time if you will be at his game or if you can’t make it. It will be terrible for him if he thinks you are coming and then you don’t. Show up early and wish him luck, but don’t talk to him for too long. He’ll appreciate the support, but he also needs to get focused for the game. Showing up is important, but you must be present too. Even if you start to get bored, do your best to watch the whole game. If he looks up and sees you staring at your phone or talking the whole time, he won’t feel supported.  Sit with his family, if you know them, so you won’t get distracted and stop paying attention. Keeping your phone put away also helps keep you focused. If you have a hard time staying interested, listen to the announcer while you watch. They describe the main points of action, which helps you know what is important. Another way to stay interested is to pay attention to specific things, like how long the quarterback holds the ball, who makes the most tackles, or how long each play lasts. Start by wearing a jersey with his number on it. If you can’t get a spare jersey, paint his number on a shirt that’s the team colors. Make a big sign with his name on it and hold it up when he is on the field. Cheer his name and number at the games.  Ask the equipment managers if you can borrow an old jersey with his number on it. Most schools have old jerseys that players don’t wear anymore, so you should be able to get one. It’s usually best to avoid yelling things like “Way to go, honey,” as this might embarrass him. Yell things like, "Knock 'em down, 88!" or "Let's go, Hector!"


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find common ground. Make eye contact while you're talking. Express interest in her thoughts and opinions. Give her a subtle compliment. Ask her about her studies. Don't tease the girl until she understands your sense of humor.

Answer:
Try to steer the topic in the direction of something you both care about, from your obsession with Community to your love of biking. You don't have to do this by asking her about her five favorite bands, types of food, hobbies, or forms of exercise; you can just listen to the natural flow of the conversation, and see if you can find something you both like, or if you can get her to notice something you like. For example, if you casually mention that you were coming back from the A's game yesterday, then she'll respond if she's a big A's fan, too.  When you're talking, make sure you ask open-ended questions instead of "yes" or "no" questions, so you can keep the conversation going.  Make sure to avoid awkward silences! Remember: things will only be awkward if you make them awkward, be confident and keep the conversation flowing as best as you can. Don't despair if you feel like you have nothing in common. You'll be able to find something eventually if you keep up a fun conversation for long enough. It may turn out that you don't have so much in common, but that you click because you have similar personalities or outlooks. That's great, too. When you mention a band you like, ask her if she likes the band too; let her see that you care about her interests when you're talking about yours. This is another way to make her feel special. You don't have to stare into her eyes like you're searching for your own reflection and creep her out, but you should make a point of giving her all of your attention, and not looking down at your phone or scoping out the room to see if anyone more interesting has walked by. You can break eye contact every once in a while, but only to keep things interesting, not to show that you're bored. Making eye contact shows confidence. If you make a point of locking eyes with the girl, she'll see that you're confident about getting to know her. Listen intently when she speaks. Girls like guys that listen to them and like what they say. Don't constantly interrupt her to state your opinion; let her talk and share thoughts with you. However, show that you're listening by nodding, saying "yes" or "no" at the appropriate times, and answering her questions.  Ask her what she thinks about whatever it is you care about -- your favorite music, the new fashion trends this season, or the importance of friendship. Though it's important to ask for her opinion, try to avoid talking about religion or politics immediately, or you may get into an argument you didn't anticipate.  When she says something, make sure you respond and show that you're listening by rephrasing what she says occasionally. You can say, "I completely agree with what you said about how hard it is to stay in touch with friends who move out of town..." to show that you're hanging on to her every word. You should compliment an aspect of her personality or her looks without freaking her out to show her that you care. If you like her type of music, or the books she reads, tell her that she has great taste. It's all right to compliment her clothes, hair, or jewelry, but you'll really win a girl's heart if she sees that you're into more than just her outside. Also, if you're feeling super confident, why not compliment her in a flirty way?  If you're going for the physical compliment, don't do more than compliment her clothes, hair, or in more intimate cases, her eyes. It's not time to freak her out by telling her how hot she is before she even knows your last name. If she has a great laugh, don't be afraid to tell her that. You don't have to bore her by asking about her favorite part of Algebra II; however, you can show that you're interested by asking her what her favorite subjects in school are, asking about her favorite teachers, or even letting that lead you to a discussion on what she wants to do when she gets older. Don't just nod and say, "That's interesting..." ask her why she likes a certain subject or why she wants to be a nurse or a lawyer when she grows up.  Some girls don't like talking about school that much. If you're sensing a lack of interest, just move on. Don't make it feel like an interrogation. You can talk about the subjects you like, too. It's best to not tease girls about things they might take seriously, especially weight, looks, or intelligence. It's especially important not to make a comment that the girl can take the wrong way when you're just getting to know her. If you manage to deeply offend the girl at the beginning of your contact, it'll be hard to dig yourself out of that hole.  Err on the side of caution. Don't tease her unless you really feel confident that she'll get it. Follow her lead. If she has been teasing you for a while, it's okay to tease her back. Just make sure to keep your jokes on the same light level.
