Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide how important and formal the letter is, and deliver it accordingly. Post it somewhere visible. Seal your letter in an envelope. Attach a minor gift if appropriate. Wait until an appropriate, quiet time if you choose to deliver the letter personally. Be polite and gracious while delivering your letter.

Answer: It would be silly to seal a two sentence thank-you memo in an envelope and formally present it to the recipient. On the other hand, you might come off as rushed or even lazy if you deliver a formal letter carelessly. The best way to give a smaller thank-you note is to put it somewhere he will normally go. Personally handing someone a thank-you note will come off as redundant, so it's best for the recipient to see it when you're not around. For example, if it is a fellow co-worker, you could attach it to his cubicle as soon as you get to work. Another opportunity would be to be to stick it to the recipient's door. Although it's not a likely risk in a professional note, it's a good idea to exercise some discretion with a note. Assume that anyone could potentially read it, especially if you're leaving it in a high-traffic area like the office space. If there is any doubt, it's best to seal your letter in an envelope. Unlike a simple note, which is more informal and spontaneous, giving a letter can involve some ritual and formal courtesy. Feel free to seal it in an envelope and place it in their inbox, or even hand it to them personally. If you give it personally, make sure to bolster the letter with a smile and a firm handshake. In some cases, it may be appropriate to attach something inexpensive (>$10) to the note as a way to better manifest the gratitude. Take care only to do this when it is appropriate however; you don't want to make it look like you're trying to bribe someone. If you attach a gift, it is best to deliver the letter and gift personally. It's not recommended you personally give a short note to someone personally, but a bigger letter (especially when coming with a gift) may be appropriate depending on the circumstances. If you decide it's best to give it to the recipient directly, you should keep surrounding circumstances in mind. If the recipient is bogged down with work, he might be annoyed by any new distractions. Waiting until a lunch break or a lull in the day's busyness is a good time to hand it over. You would give very mixed messages if you don't personally show the same gratitude you wrote in your letter. This is especially true if you have written the letter purely as a professional gesture. If and when you deliver the letter, you need to make sure your personal behaviour is in line with the meaning of the letter. Be confident, and remember to smile. If you're feeling anxious, take a moment to remember the fact that very few people have felt anything other than gratitude and satisfaction for being thanked for something!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be mindful Assess your emotional state before you eat. Avoid the urge to eat just because food is in front of you. Take time to enjoy your meals. Eat what you crave, but stop when you're full. Find fulfilling ways to stay active. Try to let go of guilt associated with eating.

Answer: of what it feels like to be hungry (or full). Next time you go a while without eating (e.g., between lunch and dinner), take a few moments to sit quietly and make note of the sensations in your body. If you're really hungry, you may notice growling or rumbling in your stomach, hunger pangs, or tiredness, shakiness, and irritability (due to low blood sugar). Likewise, pay attention to the sensations you feel while you are eating, so that you can stop when you are satisfied (and not over-full). When you're too full, you may feel bloated, uncomfortable, or even nauseated. It's easy to lose touch with your body's natural hunger and satiation signals if you either overeat or deprive yourself of food on a regular basis. If you feel the urge to eat but aren't feeling any physical signs of hunger, stop and ask yourself what you're feeling. Sometimes you may want to eat in response to an emotional needfor example, if you are feeling bored, sad, angry, or stressed out. If you identify an emotional culprit, look for a way to address what you are feeling without reaching for a snack. For example, if you're feeling sad about something, try calling a supportive friend or writing about your feelings in a journal. Sometimes, your desire to eat may be a simple response to an environmental cue, like that big box of donuts sitting in the break room. If you're fixating on a tempting snack but not really feeling hungry, try distracting yourself with something else (like playing a game on your phone). If you keep snacks around your home, put them away in places where you won't see them every time you walk into the room. That way, you won't be tempted to eat them unless you're actually hungry. Try not to multitask during meals or scarf down your food on the go. Instead, sit down to eat without distractions and really focus on the food. Think about the flavors and sensations you are experiencing as you eat. This will make eating more satisfying and enjoyable, and also help you be more aware of the messages your body is sending you while you eat. Use all your senses as you eat. Admire the way the food looks and smells before you take a bite. Notice the way it feels as well as how it tastes. For example, if you're eating an apple, don't just pay attention to the sweet/tart flavor. Notice the crisp sensation that you feel when you bite into it and the way the juice floods into your mouth when you chew. Having a healthy relationship with food doesn't have to mean depriving yourself of treats. If you're actually hungry and you crave a chocolate chip cookie, go for it. Just pay attention to what your body is telling you, and only eat enough to satisfy your hunger. Allowing yourself to eat your favorite decadent desserts or comfort foods now and then will help you feel less tempted to binge on them. If you don't enjoy exercising, look for ways to get yourself moving that don't feel like a chore. For example, you might try dancing, playing a sport you like, doing work in the garden, or going for a walk with a friend. That way, you can burn calories without feeling like you are punishing yourself for enjoying your food. In addition to helping you stay fit, doing fun physical activities can boost your confidence and improve your mood. It's also a great distraction when you're tempted to eat out of boredom. If you find yourself criticizing your eating choices, stop and address your inner critic. Gently remind yourself that you are not what you eat, and that eating certain things does not make you bad, weak, or a failure. Once you break the habit of chastising yourself for eating "bad" foods, you will find yourself less fixated on those foods (and less likely to binge on them). Resist the temptation to criticize others for their food choices, too. If you make an effort to stop speaking negatively about food and eating, it will be easier to change the way you think about it. If someone else criticizes you or tries to make you feel guilty about what you're eating, stand up for your decision without apologies or excuses. It's your right to decide what you eat. For example, if someone says, "Are you really going to eat that?" you might say, "I sure am! It's delicious!"

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand which TV specifications don't mean anything at all. Opt for the highest color range possible only if you're serious about perfect quality. Only pay for 3D TVs if you're committed to the recurring extra costs. Purchase a Smart TV only if you don't have another streaming source. Avoid paying extra for curved TVs.

Answer:
If it feels like there are eight billion TVs on the market, all with different stats and figures, you're not alone. These stats are meant to overwhelm you into buying something more expensive, but you don't have to fall for it. You can safely ignore the following terms and words when shopping -- they are just sales tactics: Refresh rates (anything above 120Hz is fine) Contrast Ratio Motion Rate, ClearMotion, TruMotion, etc. Viewing Angles Premium HDMI ports (all HDMI will look the same, no matter the port). HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is a newer color format meant to capture the greatest array of colors possible. The problem is that most sources (cable, Netflix, etc.) don't even send HDR quality color yet, so you'll likely notice little difference. That said, to better "future-proof" your TV, it might be a good option. Obviously, more color is better. That doesn't mean that this small uptick now, however, is necessarily worth the extra $2-300. Unless you love watching 3D movies, skip this feature. Most companies have already passed over them, quietly shuffling 3D TVs out of their inventory because consumers were largely unimpressed. Why? Because you need expensive glasses for every viewer, a 3D compatible player, and extra-expensive movies that cannot be played on non-3D players. So, unless you really want to recreate the home theater experience at any cost, skip this feature. All 3D TVs can play normal 2D movies. If you want the option, and money is no concern, you might as well go big for the 3D capabilities. Smart TVs have apps built in to show Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and other popular internet videos. While this may seem appealing, there are so many other streaming devices you can get cheaply that Smart TVs are often redundant. If you already have a way to stream media, skip the extra cost of a Smart TV. You can get a Google Chromecast, Roku, Amazon FireStick, Apple TV, or video game system with all the same features for $40-200. They are really just a fashion statement, with no real bearing on picture quality or enjoyment. Some people even lobby that they are worse, making it harder for a large group to all enjoy the screen from multiple angles.
