Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Shake your body to burn off excess energy. Vent your feelings to someone you trust. Examine the reasons why your ex isn’t right for you. Confront beliefs that you won’t find love again if you feel this way. Use a gratitude journal to identify what’s going well in your life.

Answer: When you feel strong emotions like sadness, anger, and anxiety, your body releases negative energy as part of your survival response. However, this negative energy can make you feel bad if you don’t get it out. An easy way to release the energy is to shake your body. Start at your shoulders and slowly move down to your feet, shaking yourself as you go. As you do this, imagine that the negative energy is leaving your body. If you don’t like shaking yourself, try releasing the energy through a vigorous workout. Talking about how you feel can help you feel better. Choose someone you can trust to share your feelings with. Then, tell them about what happened and how it's affecting you. Additionally, share any worries you have. Ask the person to listen to you without giving you advice. Say, "This breakup is really hard. Do you mind if I vent a little?" Don’t idealize your ex after your breakup. Instead, focus on the qualities that make them a bad match for you. Think about the times they let you down or the qualities they don’t have. Let this convince you that things weren’t meant to work out between you. Consider the things you want in a partner. Later, you can use this list to help you find a better partner for yourself. Your breakup may be more painful if you thought your ex was “the one” for you. It might be hard to imagine yourself with someone else, but it will happen one day. Stop thinking that you have just one soulmate out there. Instead, remind yourself that you will find love again. You don’t have just one match out there in the world. Everyone has several different potential love matches, so it’s no big deal if one relationship ends. Focusing on the positives in your life can help you balance out your negative emotions, and expressing gratitude for the good things in your life is a great way to think positively! In your gratitude journal, write down 3-5 things every day that you’re grateful for. These can be big or small things! When you feel down, re-read all of your lists to help you feel better. For instance, you might write, “my friends, my cat, and beautiful weather today.”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make an herbal tea. Purchase quality supplements. Try valerian as a tea or supplement. Use passionflower as a tea or supplement. Take chamomile as a supplement or tea. Use lemon balm as a tea or supplement. Take a melatonin supplement. Take 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) supplement.

Answer: To use an herb as a tea, boil water. Add either 1 teaspoon of loose, dried herb, 1 tablespoon of fresh herb or a tea bag to a cup of boiled water and let it steep for five to ten minutes. Strain if the tea if you used loose herbs and flavor it with honey or lemon if you like. Ask your pharmacist to recommend a reputable brand of supplements; the supplement industry is not regulated, meaning there is no guarantee you are getting the advertised product. Your pharmacist may know which companies are trustworthy. You should also look for verifiable contact information for the company and look for any seals of approval from the Natural Products Association (NPA), Consumer Labs or the US Pharmacopeia (USP). The manufacturer should follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).  Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when taking supplements. You should also inform your doctor of any supplements you're taking. Buy only fresh supplements (check the expiration date). Valerian is a root that has the properties of a mild sedative, helping you fall asleep faster and more easily. Valerian has been used as a sleep aid for thousands of years, although it should not be given to children under 3 years old.  You may want to add honey, cinnamon, cloves, or lemon to valerian tea to improve the flavor. Valerian root may interact with prescription medications like antidepressants and antianxiety medications. Passionflower is used to reduce anxiety and can also lower blood pressure. If you take blood pressure medications, talk to your doctor before supplementing. Passionflower has a light, pleasant taste, but you can flavor it with honey and lemon if you're making a tea.  Do not use passionflower if you're pregnant. It may induce uterine contractions. Since passionflower hasn't been studied in children, talk with a qualified healthcare professional to determine a safe dose to give your child. Chamomile has traditionally been used to help induce sleep, although clinical studies are needed to support this. Chamomile is used to increase calm while reducing anxiety. When purchasing chamomile, look for German (which is more widely available) or Roman.  Chamomile is safe for children, but dilute the tea with warm water (use ½ cup of tea and add ½ cup of water). Chamomile can interact with a number of prescription medications, so talk to a knowledgeable healthcare professional (your doctor or pharmacist) before using it. Lemon balm can also reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality, but should not be used by anyone with an overactive thyroid or anyone who is pregnant. Lemon balm has Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status in the US and can be used with children older than 3 years old, but dilute the tea with warm water (use ½ cup of tea and add ½ cup of water). Lemon balm may interact with certain medications for thyroidism, HIV, and sleep issues like anxiety or insomnia. Talk with your doctor before supplementing. Take 1 to 3 mg of melatonin one hour before bed. This "sleep hormone" can regulate your sleep cycles. Avoid taking melatonin every night, unless your doctor advises it. You can also try to increase the amount of melatonin in your system by drinking a glass of tart cherry juice. Melatonin may interact with prescription medications and should not be taken when pregnant or when nursing. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before use. This chemical is used by your body to make a neurotransmitter, serotonin. Serotonin is known to regulate mood and behavior, which may improve your sleep. Take 50 to 100 mg of 5-HTP every night before bed for six to 12 weeks, unless your doctor recommends otherwise. 5-HTP is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for a karat count. Search for the word “Brass. Know the price of the metal.

Answer:
The karat is a measurement used to designate the purity of gold. Higher ratios of gold to other metals in a piece means a higher karat count. Pure gold is 24 karat. A brass piece will not be marked with a karat count. The karat count is typically found in an inconspicuous place such as the bottom or inside of a piece, though it varies from piece to piece. ” While brass does not receive a karat count, it is sometimes marked. Many brass pieces will have the word “Brass” somewhere on the metal. This word is often stamped or engraved in the metal piece when it is forged. Just like the karat count, the location of this stamp will vary, but it is likely to be on the inside lip or the bottom of an object. If you know what the metal piece sells for, you can easily tell the difference between brass and gold. Gold is quite expensive depending on its purity. Brass is relatively cheap compared to precious metals like gold and silver.
