Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Discuss your fears with a therapist. Use imaginal exposure. Wait for the fear and anxiety to subside. Repeat the exposure as many times as needed.

Answer: It is not always necessary to use a therapist to treat phobias, but some people may feel more comfortable having a professional to guide them through different strategies. The most common methods for treating phobias are exposure therapy and cognitive therapy. Many therapists will be open to trying other methods such as social learning theory (modeling), biofeedback, and hypnotherapy.  When it comes to deciding between self-administering and seeking a therapist, you should consider the severity of your phobia and your need for support. If your phobia is so severe that you have uncontrollable anxiety or panic attacks, or your fear keeps you from participating in activities such as office picnics or watching your son’s baseball game, then you should have additional support.  Hypnotherapy should not be attempted without professional guidance. Flooding is the process of exposing a person to the object of his or her phobia, in this case a wasp or bee, in a controlled environment. Since it may not be possible to safely expose yourself to a large amount of wasps and/or bees, a therapist might ask you to vividly imagine that bees and/or wasps are all around you. This is called imaginal exposure. Keep in mind that when you imagine the wasps and/or bees you will probably start to feel overwhelmed. When you are exposed to a stimulus long enough and nothing bad happens, you will eventually stop being anxious or afraid. Note that this can take hours, and in some cases multiple exposures. Be persistent and allow the fear to pass. There is no set amount of exposures that will cure a phobia. You may find that one exposure does the trick, or you may need many exposures to be completely at ease with wasps and bees. Either way, expose yourself as much or as little as you need.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pair your beer with food. Drink beer in a comfortable setting. Change your perception of beer.

Answer: Even if you’re not a fan of drinking beer by itself, what you’re eating with it can make all the difference. You may find that a Saison is surprisingly crisp and refreshing when sipped alongside a platter of broiled seafood, or that a dark, bitter stout makes the perfect companion for a juicy cheeseburger. When mingled with the flavors of a meal, a beer’s body can transform and take on new complexity.  Like wine, different beers are typically recommended for pairing with different foods.  With time, you’ll develop a sense of which flavor combinations you find appetizing together. Atmosphere can also play a big part in how much enjoyment you get from beer. You probably won’t get the same satisfaction from splitting a pitcher in a crowded, deafening dive bar as you would sharing with a tall one with your best friends from the comfort of your own home. If you’re not big on your surroundings, that distaste may rub off on you when it comes time to drain a pint.  Stay away from places with strong smells or other unwanted distractions that might detract from your experience. Set up a tasting at your home with a friend who’s a connoisseur. They’ll be able to make recommendations and give you cues on how to savor your beer. You’re never going to appreciate beer if you convince yourself that you don’t like it. Make an effort to stop thinking of all beers in black and white terms. Once you soften your stance, you’ll be able to start judging each unique form of the beverage on its own merits.  If you don’t like one style, move on to the next until something stands out to you. Try not to overthink it. It’s just a drink.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid wearing the same shirt for more than one day. Wear an undershirt to keep your top shirt dry. Wear a different color shirt every day. Pick a textured or patterned shirt for some days. Switch to a t-shirt or other casual shirt.

Answer: Wearing a different shirt changes the whole look of the suit, which is what you want. It’s also important to wear a different shirt because it soaks up your sweat during the day and will start to smell if you wear it for too long. If you have to wear the same shirt more than once, don’t wear it on back-to-back days to give your look variety and let the shirt air out. If you need to wear the same shirt more than once, an undershirt soaks up your sweat and keeps the top shirt dryer. Even if you don't typically wear an undershirt, wear one during the week you're wearing the same suit. Besides changing your shirt, wearing different colors varies the appearance of the suit. Cycle through white, blue, gray, or other colors that look good with your suit. If you have two shirts of similar color, wear them a few days apart in the week.  If your workplace has a strict dress code, you may not have a lot of options. Vary the color as much as you are allowed. White, eggshell, and cream are different enough to be noticeable. Make sure you pick colors that match the color of your suit. If you are allowed to wear plaid, checkered, or striped shirts, this is another great way to add variety. Wear a pattern twice in the week, separated by plain colors. Switching between plain and patterned keeps you looking stylish every day. Vary the color and size of the stripes or plaid pattern, but make sure it looks good with your suit’s color. If you work in a somewhat casual setting, wear a stylish t-shirt with your suit. Vintage tees are a great item to add to a suit to bring out your individuality and personal style. Try out a plain t-shirt or a knit polo with a quarter button at the top. In cooler weather, swap in a nice crew neck sweatshirt or a thermal shirt. Whatever you do, make sure you look appropriate for your job setting.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Trim and layer your extensions if you have short hair. Go a shade lighter if you have short hair and want an ombre effect. Pay attention to the thickness of the wefts if you have thick hair. Tease your roots before adding the extensions to add volume. Don't be afraid to leave some wefts out if you have thin hair. Make sure that the wefts are not visible. Style your extensions if desired.

Answer:
This may seem counterintuitive, especially if you are trying to make your hair look longer, but it will look more natural. If you clip in the extensions without blending them into your own hair, the difference in length will be obvious. Trim the extensions after you insert them into your hair. It would be a good idea to have a trained stylist do it for you. In most cases, you will want to match the extensions to your hair color. If you desire an ombre effect, consider going 1 to 2 shades lighter. If the ends of your hair are already lighter, you could match the extensions to them instead. You can use this step for longer hair as well. If you get extensions that aren't thick enough, the ends of your hair will look too thin compared to the rest of your hair. This will look unnatural and make it obvious that you are wearing extensions. This will give the wefts something to grip onto and prevent them from sliding off. It will also help give your hair a little extra volume. Tease each section just before adding the extension. To tease your hair, pull a thin section of hair away from your head, then run a comb under it in short strokes, starting from the middle and ending at the roots. This will often be the case if you bought thick hair extensions. If you use all of the extensions, the difference in volume between your hair and the extensions may be obvious. You may also create too much bulk, which could lead to visible wefts. Consider buying extensions designed for thin hair. They will give you length and volume while looking natural. You may have to adjust the positioning of the extensions. If you don't have enough hair covering them, the wefts may be visible. It would be a good idea to give your head a shake, and check for any wefts that are peeking through when your hair moves. The best places to position your extensions is anywhere below eyebrow level. This ensures that you have enough hair covering them. Curling your hair and the extensions will help give your hair even more volume. Whether you curl the extensions before or after you add them to your hair is up to you. Go with whatever is most comfortable for you. If your extensions are synthetic, check the package to see whether or not they are heat-resistant. If they are not heat-resistant, don't curl them.
