article: Learning to say "no" is an important skill for empaths like you. You might become so enmeshed with others that you give and give until you are empty. Prevent this by identifying your limitations and verbalizing them in your relationships. For instance, you might need to tell a friend or family member, "I need you to respect my personal space. Please don't show up at my apartment unannounced." You might tell an energy-drainer, "I would love to have lunch with you, but let's not spend the entire time dwelling on the negatives. If we can't keep it positive, I'll have to pass." Setting boundaries, especially with people you care about, can be tough. However, don't feel bad about it. Having good boundaries is vital to your emotional health. Take an inventory of the people in your life: do they drain or invigorate you? Determine where they stand by assessing how you feel when they leave you. If you feel desperate for a nap, cranky or irritable, demeaned, or anxious after an encounter, stop spending as much time with these people. Instead, devote your time and energy to people who leave you feeling mentally and emotionally stimulated, positive, and upbeat. If you must be around energy-drainers, or emotional vampires, practice self-care before and after the encounter. Plus, keep the interaction as brief as possible. Empaths are typically introverted by nature, which means you are more fulfilled by time alone or with a few others. You might feel overwhelmed and drained by large groups, so stick to social encounters that involve one-on-one or small group meetings. You're probably a great listener, and everyone tells you so. As an empath, however, you might not only listen to someone's problemyou might shoulder it as your own. Be aware of your tendency to do this and make a conscious effort to listen without internalizing the problem or trying to fix it. To help you do this, you might have to repeat an affirmation silently, like "I can help by listening. It is not my job to fix or change anything." A wonderful way to share your gifts in an emotionally safe way is through volunteerism. Identify a cause that moves you and find out how you can get involved. This might translate to making calls to support a politician in your area, donating money to a charitable organization, or working at a shelter a few hours each week. While volunteering can be healthy and empowering, be careful not to put too much on your plate. If you don't have the emotional or physical energy to volunteer, engage with your emotions by reading or doing creative activities instead.

Write an article based on this "Limit negative comments. Compliment yourself. Give yourself pep talks. Set a goal."
article: We all engage in some negative self-talk, calling ourselves "Stupid" or saying "You idiot!" if we make a mistake. However, too much negativity can sap your self-esteem. If you feel yourself about to vocalize some negative self-talk, you should stop, take a deep breath, and try to think of something positive. One way to engage in some positive self-talk is to give yourself compliments throughout the day. If you make a good decision, tell yourself "Good job!" These little comments will help boost your self-esteem and make you feel a little better about yourself. For example, if you decide to eat a healthy salad for lunch instead of a greasy hamburger, you might tell yourself "I'm proud of you" or "Good job! That was a good choice." You could even give yourself a little pat on the back. If you need a little motivation for a task, some positive self-talk can help you get motivated. This can be more dramatic self-talk, such as talking to yourself in a mirror before a big event, or more mundane talking, like motivating yourself to perform daily chores. Either way, a little pep talk will help you convince yourself that you are in control and that you can get things done. For example, if you are getting ready for a job interview, you might say something like "You've got this. You are the best candidate for this job!" or "You are going to blow their socks off during the interview." If you need a little pep talk to motivate yourself, you might say something like "Why are you laying around? You have time to get this done." If you want to achieve a certain goal, talking aloud about how you will reach that objective can help you stay focused on it. Vocalizing your goal and the steps necessary to achieve it focuses your attention on the task and reinforces the message you are trying to convey. It also helps control your emotions and filters out distractions. For example, if you want to run every day, you might say something like "I'm going to go run" each morning.

Write an article based on this "Combine cream of tartar and water to make a cleaning paste. Make a soap and salt paste. Mix ammonia with soap and pumice. Try a naphtha soap and ammonia solution. Combine oxygen bleach powder with water."
article:
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (20 g) of cream of tartar with enough water to make a thick paste. Stir them together to completely incorporate the two ingredients. To make larger quantities, add more cream of tartar and water and mix it into a paste. Cream of tartar, otherwise known as potassium bitartrate, is an acidic by-product of winemaking that can be used to clean and scrub metal, ceramic, stone, and other surfaces. This paste is good for scrubbing soot and fireplace buildup from brick. In a small bowl, combine 2 ounces (59 ml) of liquid dish soap and 2 ounces (57 g) of salt. Mix them together to make a paste. Add just enough water to make the mixture creamy and spreadable. The cleaner should have the consistency of paint or pancake batter. To make larger quantities, mix equal parts soap and salt, by weight, in a larger container. Add enough water to make the mixture spreadable. In this cleaner, the salt will act as an abrasive, and the soap will wash dirt and grease from the bricks. In a small bucket, combine 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of liquid dish soap, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of ammonia, and 1 tablespoon (9.5 g) of pumice powder. Add hot water in small increments, until you can stir the mixture into a loose paste. Pumice powder is a mild abrasive that can be purchased in art stores, craft shops, and beauty supply stores. Never mix ammonia with bleach or other cleaners. Use a cheese grater to grate a bar of Fels-Naptha soap into a medium bucket. Add 12 cups (2.8 L) of boiling water and stir the mixture until the soap is dissolved. Set the mixture aside to cool for at least an hour. Add 1 cup (235 ml) of ammonia and 1 pound (454 g) of pumice powder to the bucket. Stir the mixture to fully combine all the ingredients. Fels-Naptha soap is a powerful laundry soap that's often used to pretreat stains. This is a heavy-duty cleaner that will kill mold, and scrub soot and buildup from brick. In a large bucket, combine 2 tablespoons (30 ml) oxygen bleach with 4 cups (940 ml) of water. Stir the mixture for a few minutes to dissolve the oxygen bleach in the water. Oxygen bleach is different from chlorine bleach, and it's not as corrosive or damaging. This cleaner is good if you need to remove mold or mildew from brick, because the oxygen bleach will kill the mold.
