Article: Many times, anxiety and fear stem from unrealistic thoughts or expectations that we have about an encounter with a wasp or bee. Cognitive therapy will help replace those thoughts, but the first step is to recognize them. Negative thought patterns typical come in three categories: Fortune telling is when you assume that you already know the outcome of an encounter. "If I see a wasp or bee, I will panic and get stung." Overgeneralizing is when you use one specific incident and project it on all future encounters. "Last time I saw a wasp or bee it stung me. I know, if I see one again, it will sting me." Catastrophizing is when you imagine that an encounter will be as bad as it could possibly be. "If I see a wasp or bee then there is probably a nest or hive nearby. They will all attack me. What if I'm allergic? I might die." Ask yourself if there is any evidence to support your fear. Usually, you will find that there is little or no evidence to suggest you will be stung or attacked by wasps or bees. It is sometimes helpful to imagine what you would say to a friend who expressed similar fears. If you would tell you friend that their anxiety is unreasonable, it will help you to recognize that your own anxiety is unreasonable. This can be a good place to consult a therapist to help you walk through which thoughts are really concerning and which ones might be exaggerated. Once you have acknowledged that your fears are exaggerated, you can start to think in a more positive way. Instead of thinking something like "I will definitely be stung," you can think something like "It is unlikely that I will be stung." This will help to moderate your fear and anxiety because you are evaluating the situation from a reasonable point of view.

Problem: Article: This should be enough to completely cover the bottom. Kosher salt is the best kind to use, since it has a clean, sea-salty taste that will complement the lemons. Gently open the lemon and sprinkle it between the slices, still leaving the base intact. Use up to a tablespoon of salt to completely coat the inside of the lemon. Push it against the salt at the bottom of the jar. This will release the lemon juice and help the preservation process get started. This should be enough to almost completely cover the top of the lemon. Simply sprinkle it over the lemon you just placed in the jar. Put it into the jar cut-side down, and push it against the salty lemon below. Keep pushing until the juices are released. Add another layer of salt, another lemon, and so on until you have only an inch of space left at the top of the jar. If you're using a quart-sized jar, there's probably enough space for three or four lemons, depending on their size. Top it off with more salt. This will ensure the top of the last lemon gets completely preserved. It's important to leave extra space, called "headspace," at the top of the jar. This keeps pressure from building up in the jar. Squeezing the lemons into the jar should produce enough juice to rise about halfway up the jar. If the jar is low on lemon juice, cut into another lemon and squeeze the juice into the jar. You want it to rise at least halfway to the top of the jar. You can also top off the liquid with water that has been boiled and cooled. If you want sweet preserved lemons, add maple syrup to top it off. Lemons preserved with salt and their own juice will last up to a year when stored in the refrigerator. Just remember to keep the lid tightly fastened.
Summary: Place two tablespoons of salt in the bottom of the jar. Sprinkle salt inside a quartered lemon. Place the lemon into the jar cut-side down. Add two more tablespoons of salt to the jar. Layer another lemon on top of the first. Keep layering salt and lemons until you get close to the top. Add extra juice if necessary. Lid the jar and store the lemons in the refrigerator.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Kick the ball on the top of your shoe, it will go higher and farther. If you kick on the front of your shoe, it won't go high or very far. If it does, that is good. When the ball is not touching the ground, kick it. Kick with confidence.

A foot soak in lemon juice for about 10 minutes is a great way to remove excess dead and dry skin from your feet. The acid in the lemon juice helps make the dead and dry skin easier to remove. After your feet have soaked for the 10 minutes, use a pumice stone or foot file to remove the dead and dry skin. Foot razors/shavers are available for purchase at many drug and department stores, but are not recommended by doctors. They have also become illegal to use in a spa setting in many states. The reason is that they can cause nicks and cuts on your feet which can very easily become infected - especially in a spa environment. Put a spoonful of olive oil in a small bottle with a lid. Add a few drops of lemon or lavender oil to the bottle. Place the lid tightly on the bottle and shake until the liquid inside the bottle turns thick and milky. Apply to your feet, especially your heels, to help moisturize your skin. You can store the bottle for future use, just remember to shake it each time. Start by having a bath or shower where you wash your feet, or wash your feet on their own. Dry your feet off with a towel, including between your toes. Apply a layer of vegetable oil all over your feet and then put on a thick pair of socks. Go to bed and leave the socks on. You may find your dry feet feeling a lot better in only a few days. The oil may stain fabric, like your socks, so choose a pair of socks you don't mind if they get stained by the oil. The socks will also help prevent your sheets from being stained by the oil. Combine 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of Vaseline (or a similar product) and the juice from 1 lemon into a bowl, then mix the two ingredients together. Either have a bath or shower where you wash your feet, or just wash your feet on their own. Dry your feet completely with a towel. Apply ALL the mixture to both your feet, then put on a pair of thick wool socks. Go to bed. In the morning, take off the socks and scrub the excess dead skin off your feet. Wool socks are used in this case as they won't allow the mixture to soak through and stain your bedsheets. Choose socks that you don't mind if they get this oily mixture on them. First, melt the wax in a large bowl in the microwave (or a double boiler if you have one). Add an equal amount of mustard oil to the melted wax. Check to make sure that the wax is safely warm to the touch before dipping one foot into the bowl and covering your foot with the wax mixture. Take your foot out of the bowl and allow the wax to dry, then dip the same foot again. Wrap your foot in plastic wrap, or put it inside a plastic bag. Repeat the same procedure on your other foot. Sit for about 15 minutes, then remove the wax and plastic. Mustard oil helps to strengthen and moisturize the skin on your feet.
