# Dialectical Behavioral Therapy/Distress Tolerance Skills/Turning the mind

Turning the Mind
Acceptance of reality as it is requires an act of CHOICE. It is like coming to a fork in the road. You have to turn your mind toward the acceptance road and away from the “rejecting reality” road.
You have to make an inner COMMITMENT to accept.
The COMMITMENT to accept does not itself equal acceptance. It just turns you toward the path.
You have to turn your mind and commit to acceptance OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Sometimes, you have to make the commitment many times in the space of a few minutes.
# Dialectical Behavioral Therapy/Distress Tolerance Skills/Distracting

Distress Tolerance Skills: IMPROVE the moment
Imagery
Use imagery to distract, soothe, bolster courage, and improve confidence. Imagery can make future rewards more salient (a leap of faith).
Using imagery, you can create a situation different from the actual one; so, it is like leaving the situation. With imagery, you can go to a place that is safe and secure. Going to an imaginary safe place or room within can be very helpful during flashbacks. For it to be useful, you have to practice this in advance. Your ability to conjure this place must be solid if you are going to use imagery in a crisis. Practice imaging your safe place (when you are not in a crisis) enough times to get it firmly in mind and learned as a skill. An over-learned skill is available under stress.
Meaning
Finding or creating meaning helps many people in crises. Meaning answers the question why? For example, I’m doing this for the good of my family. Problems in life are opportunities to practice skills, this is the idea behind the phrase, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Suffering, when accepted, enhances empathy, and those who have suffered can reach out and help others.
Prayer
The essence of prayer is the complete opening of oneself to the moment. Ask for strength from a higher power to bear the pain in this moment.
Relaxation
Relaxing changes how the body responds to stress and crises. This skill, like imagery, takes practice. In crisis, some people tense their muscles as if to control the situation by controlling their body. The goal is to accept reality with the body. The body communicates relaxation to the mind promoting psychological acceptance.
One thing at a time
Focusing on one thing in a stressful situation can provide a means to settle down. One-mindfully often has a calming effect.
The only pain one has to survive is “just this moment.” Notice how much discomfort increases by ruminating about past stressors or worrying about future problems. Let go of the future and the past. When feeling discomfort, irritation, or anxiety, tell yourself to focus on “just this moment.”
Vacation
Everyone needs a vacation from adulthood occasionally. Plan a timeout to regroup (planning is key to remaining in control and use vacations appropriately). Make it brief, and don’t choose an inappropriate time.
Encouragement
Talk to yourself the way you would talk to someone you care about who is in crisis. Talk to yourself the way you would like others to talk to you.

# College Guide/GPA and Class Rank
## GPA

Your GPA is the most important factor that colleges use to accept or not accept students. To get into a competitive college, it's important to get high grades and take challenging courses. This usually means AP, IB, or honors level courses.
There are two common ways of calculating GPA in the US - the "4.0" scale and the "100" scale. The former, which is more common, uses the grade of A as 4.00, A- as 3.67, B+ as 3.33, B as 3.00, B- as 2.67, and so on. Depending on the school, honors, AP, IB, and accelerated classes may be "weighted" to increase the GPA of those who take harder courses.
The latter system is less common, but easier to calculate. Instead of using letter grades, it directly takes into account the numerical value of your grade out of 100.
Your guidance counselor should be able to tell you your GPA.
# College Guide/Choosing a College

Your choice of a college will probably be the most important decision you will ever make before becoming an adult. With literally thousands of choices, it is necessary to narrow down the possibilities.

## I. Narrowing it Down
### 1. How Competitive?

You should separate your college possibilities in three. The first is your "reach schools", one or two schools that you have a low chance of getting in, but would really like to go to. The next group is your "target schools", two to four that you have a pretty good chance of getting in to. The last one or two are the "safety schools", those that you don't really want to go to but would if you had no other choice.
Of course, competitiveness does not ensure a fit. Which is why this list does not end at #1.

### 2. Public or Private?

Public colleges are usually less expensive, especially if you are a resident of that state. However, diversity may be low, and the best of the best colleges are usually private (with the exception of the UC system).

### 3a. University or Liberal Arts?

Universities generally have more choices than liberal arts colleges. However, they may feel crowded, and have a high student-teacher ratio. Universities are more likely to give athletic scholarships, and are more likely to have fraternities/sororities. Universities usually have better research facilities, but liberal arts classes are more likely to be taught by a professor and not a TA.

### 3b. Big or Small?

Universities are generally larger than liberal arts colleges. Bigger means more choice, but it can make you feel lost.

### 4. Close or Far?

If you go home every winter, spring, and summer break, travel costs can add up if the college is far from home. On the other hand, if you want your parents off your back, or don't like the weather of your hometown, you may want to go to a college that is further from home.

## II. In-Depth

Once you've narrowed down the choices to less than a dozen, it's time to look more deeply into each college. This would be a good time to look for facebook groups with students from the colleges you are looking at. Get to know the kind of people that go, and what they see as the strengths and weaknesses of the college.
There are many guides in bookstores and libraries about colleges. Most have one to five pages per college. However, this may not be enough for you. You can literally buy a 150 page book about a specific college from collegeprowler, get a subscription at their website. Amazon sells the individual books for about $10.
Of course, the best thing to do if possible is to actually visit the campus. Most college websites will tell you in their admission section about how to register for a visit. Nothing comes close to this in helping you decide.

# College Guide/Choosing Classes
## English

You should take an English class all four years of high school. If possible, take the AP Language and Composition class in Junior year, and AP Literature in Senior year.

## Math

Try to take the most challenging course that you can handle. A B- in Algebra 2 looks better on your transcript than an A- in Math 3. You should take 4 years of math, too.

## Science

Try and take 3 years of science, 2 of which have labs. If you are planning on majoring in a science field, take science lab courses all 4 years.

## History

Colleges would like to see at least two years of history - one of world history, and the other of American History. Again, this depends on your intended major - political science majors should probably take 3 years of history (1 AP) and AP Government in Senior year.

## Foreign Language

Most colleges require two years of foreign language, if they require a foreign language at all. However, this does not mean you should stop learning a second language after Sophomore year. Learning Spanish, Arabic, or Chinese can take you to places and jobs you never could've otherwise had.

## Electives

If you enjoyed a specific elective in middle school, stick with it! Especially if it is in the performing arts, this can be a way to show your talent. Music electives impress colleges more than non-academic electives (such as woodworking or pottery), but unless you are very skilled at music, an academic elective (computer science, journalism) may be a better choice.
# College Guide/Early Action

Early Action (EA) is an application option given at some colleges that allows the student to apply earlier than usual. This results in an earlier reply from the college. Unlike Early Decision (ED), EA is non-binding, meaning you are free to go to other colleges even if you are accepted.

Early Decision
# College Guide/Early Decision

Early Decision (ED), as the name suggests, is an alternate way of applying to college that occurs earlier than normal. This kind of application is binding, meaning that if you are accepted, you must drop all applications to other colleges. As a result, you can only apply for ED at one college.
The advantage of ED is that it shows a commitment and special interest in the college. This results in a higher acceptance rate.

## Should You Go?

According to studentsreview, 81% of students would choose to return to RC, whereas 19% would not. However, it's not for everyone. Those who don't plan on going to graduate school will find that many employers have never heard of Reed. People who are uncomfortable in tiny classes (often around one dozen) with much discussion may want to look at Category:Universities instead. "Reedies" are hard workers, and in such a small college, you can't get away with slacking off. Since there are no fraternities or sororities, the party scene is not very prevalent. However, illicit drugs are relatively common. Lastly, conservatives probably will not fit in.

# Complete Guide to Essential Oils/A to Z of ailments/Athlete's foot
## Athlete's Foot

Athlete's foot (also called ringworm of the foot and tinea pedis) is a fungal infection of the foot, especially between the toes. Essential oils that are particularly helpful in treating athlete's foot include tagetes, lavender, geranium and tea tree, for their anti-fungal properties.

## Treatment

Essential oils can be applied to the feet in the bath, soaking in a foot bath or as a warm compress. They can also be applied using a carrier oil—calendula oil is a good one to use. The feet should be treated every morning and evening. It's also important to make sure that feet are dried thoroughly after washing, to avoid letting them stay moist, and that socks are changed frequently. Allowing the feet to be open to the air helps, although it's also important to avoid infecting other people, so don't walk barefoot in public places.

## Effective oils

* Benzoin
* Clove
* Eucalyptus
* Geranium
* Lavender
* Lemon

* Lemongrass
