Problem: Article: When you start planning out what you want in life, focus on what you want, rather than on what you don't want. Don't make negative goals about things you want to lose or avoid. Instead, think of what you'd like to achieve, attain, and develop.   Phrase your goals so that they best express your complete desire. For instance, if you want to have a partner, instead of making your goal "Meet someone special," make it "Live my life with someone I truly love." A goal that sounds satisfying to you will motivate you more than a goal that only expresses a step in the plan. Self-questioning is a fundamental practice of NLP. Ask questions about the things you would like to change in your life. Your mind tries to answer any questions you pose, so make sure to phrase your questions in a way that will lead to useful, positive answers. For instance, instead of asking "What's wrong with me?" you might ask:  What can I do to feel better? In what ways would I like to change my life? How will my life improve if I make these changes? Practitioners of NLP believe that thinking of an image of people, events, or other things can help you understand how you feel about them. To do this, picture someone or something that irritates you. Next, make changes to the image in your mind as if you were editing it on a computer.  Picture people or things that make you feel bad turning darker and moving further away. Picture people or things that make you feel good turning brighter and coming closer to you. Notice how all these changes make you feel. The way you speak to yourself in your head has a lot to do with your happiness and mental health. Most psychologists will tell you to  notice how you are talking to yourself and change your tone to a loving and encouraging one. NLP has a different approach: it suggests that you mess with the sound of the negative voice so that it has less power.   If you hear yourself thinking something like, "You'll never get this done," repeat the message but with a distorted sound. Make it sound like a goofy cartoon character, like Donald Duck or Spongebob. Notice how different versions of the voice make you feel. When you have a bad experience that is haunting you, treat it like a movie. Play it backwards, starting from after it occurred to right before it occurred. Do this several times until you have memorized the backwards sequence.  Now add a different ending, one that you like better. Notice how you feel about the experience. For example, if you want to feel confident, imagine a color that looks confident to you, such as a bright orange.  Imagine a bright square of that color before you. In your mind, step into the square and focus on feeling that emotion. Imagine exactly how it would look and feel to be in the square.  When you next want to experience this feeling, visualize the square in front of you. Step into it, and notice how you feel.
Summary: Set positive goals. Ask yourself positive questions. Edit your mental images. Mess with negative voices in your head. Play out scenarios backward. Visualize colors and connect them with feelings you would like to experience.

Problem: Article: Drape an old towel or a dyeing cape around your shoulders. Apply shea butter or petroleum jelly to the skin around your hairline, ears, and nape. Pull on the plastic gloves included in your kit, then cover your floor and counter with newspaper. Start by parting your hair vertically down the middle, from forehead to nape. Next, part your hair horizontally at eye level, from ear-to-ear. Secure each section with a clip or hair tie. Don't worry if the sections are too thick at this point; you will be dividing them up further as you dye. In most cases, you will need to pour or squeeze the dye (small bottle or tube) into the developer (large bottle), then close the developer and shake it. Sometimes, the kit also includes a nourishing oil, which you should add with the dye as well.  You may also find a tube or bottle of conditioner in your kit. Save that for later. Add a packet of color corrector if you are going for a much lighter shade, such as blonde, to prevent it from turning too brassy. Read the instructions on the packet to find out how much you should add. Separate your hair sections into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) partings, as you did when you were bleaching, to make sure the dye is saturated throughout your hair. Starting with a small parting in the back, apply the dye to the middle of the shaft. Work the dye towards the ends, then move onto the next section. Do the back sections first, then the front.  Be sure to tie or clip the sections as you finish them. Do not apply the dye to the roots just yet. Use the same technique as in the previous step: apply the dye to the middle of the shaft, then work it down towards the ends. Do the sections in the back of your head first, then to the ones in the front. Once you have your hair dyed, remove the clips/hair ties, then comb the dye through your hair using a wide-toothed comb.  Again, don't apply the dye to the roots just yet. Your roots will process much faster, so you want to save that for last. Comb your hair correctly: start combing from the ends, then work your way to just above the middle of the shaft. Use the nozzle of the applicator bottle to apply a line of dye to your roots, close to the scalp. Rub the dye into your hair, away from the scalp and towards the middle of the shaft, using an applicator brush if needed. Continue in this fashion, starting with the hair in the back and finishing with the hair in the front. When you get to the front, do the bottom-most layers first. Save your front hairline and center part for last. Wrap squares of aluminum foil around sections of hair, making sure to fold it over the ends. Don't worry if your roots are exposed. The aluminum foil will help trap the heat and help your hair absorb the dye better. Consider wrapping a larger piece of foil around your head, then a towel. This will trap the heat further. You can also use a plastic shower cap to achieve the same effect. How long this takes depends on the brand that you are using. It can be anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Use the timer on your phone, stove, or microwave to do this; you can even use an egg timer or a watch. Once the time is up, remove the towel and aluminum foil. Rinse your hair under cool water until all of the dye is out and the water runs clear. Apply the conditioner that came in the kit to your hair, let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse it out with cool water.  Do not use shampoo or hot water. Both of these can cause the dye to rinse out completely. If your kit did not come with conditioner, use any color-safe or sulfate-free conditioner instead.
Summary: Protect your clothing, skin, and work area. Divide your hair into 4 sections. Prepare the dye according to the instructions in the package. Apply the dye to your hair from mid-lengths to the ends. Repeat the process, then comb the dye through your hair. Apply the dye to the roots of your hair, starting from the lower layers. Wrap pieces of aluminum foil around your hair. Allow your dye to develop for the time recommended on the package. Rinse the dye out with cool or warm water, then condition your hair.

Problem: Article: The peels will be mixed with vinegar to create your solution. Either eat the fruit or use it in another recipe. Depending on the size of the opening, you may need to chop the peel to fit. And be sure to fill the entire jar with peel.
Summary:
Peel citrus fruits, such as oranges or lemons. Fill the bottle or jar with citrus peel.
