Q: You absolutely have a right to be angry with people who hurt you when you were in a vulnerable position or that took advantage of you. But this anger cannot be transferred to every person you meet. Carrying around anger and distrust toward people hurts you most. Anger management techniques can help you reduce stress levels and improve your relationships. You can learn to become a better communicator, solve problems, and think differently. If you have problems trusting others (especially friends, family, or a significant other), turn the tables on yourself. Think about how you would feel if someone you cared about or spent a lot of time with didn't trust anything that you did or said. Think about how it would feel if someone kept badgering you about your whereabouts and thoughts. How does that make you feel? Suspicious probing is unpleasant at best, and downright invasive and unsettling at its worst. If you feel prejudiced, find commonalities that you may have with the person you distrust. Build a relationship with them, be curious about their life, and remind yourself that they're human just like you. While you're learning to trust others, choose to trust yourself as well. By seeing the world suspiciously, you can project your own unresolved fears onto others. There are many genuine and true people out there. Put the focus on yourself and learn to trust yourself first. Remove people from your life that doubt your abilities or say you can't succeed. Keep your commitments to yourself by following through on things you want or need to do. When you say you're going to do something, know that you will do it. For example, if you say that you're going to go exercise today, know that you can and will follow through on that commitment.
A: Get your anger under control. Increase your empathy. Trust yourself.

Article: Squeeze the bottom of the pot your lavender plant is in. This helps loosen the lavender and its dirt ball from the smaller pot. Tilt the lavender sideways and pull gently on the plant's base. With the loosening of the previous step, the lavender plant should ease out of its old pot. The dirt should be solid enough that it feels like it will come out in one chunk if handled gently. Handle your pot-less lavender gently to avoid breaking the dirt and damaging the roots as well as the foliage above the dirt. Now you're ready to pot your lavender plant in the new pot! Nestle it into the dirt that is already in the pot for security. The base of the plant should sit 3-inches below the rim of the pot. Gently break the surface of the lavender dirt ball with your fingers to release some of the roots. Root binding happens when a plant has been in a small pot too long and the roots rival the dirt for space. This makes the dirt hard and unless the dirt and roots are loosened, the roots will not expand in their new pot and the plant will soon die. Most potted plants won't be root bound, but it's a good idea to loosen up the roots and dirt a little to ensure the roots get a healthy start. Fill it only up to the top of the dirt ball around the lavender plant's roots. Don't pack the soil around the Lavender plant. The soil needs to stay loose for effective drainage. Sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil and then scratch the fertilizer into the soil with a fork. Timed-release fertilizer can be found at any gardening or farm store and will release fertilizer as the plant is watered. An example of a timed-release pellet fertilizer is alfalfa pellets. They are organic and contain Triacontanol, which is a growth stimulant. Some soils come with fertilizers like alfalfa pellets already mixed in, so you may not need to do this. Turkey grits or white landscaping pebbles work best for mulching lavenders. Lay the mulch on the soil in a 2-inch thick layer up to the base of the plant. This mulch is great for preventing rot in the roots and stems of the plants. The white color of turkey grits and white landscaping pebbles will reflect sunlight back to the plant which will stimulate growth. The mulch will also encourage air circulation and quick drainage. These materials are inexpensive and can be found at farm and pet stores and some garden stores.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Remove the Lavender plant from its current pot. Place the lavender plant in the center of the pot. Fill the rest of the pot with your potting mix. Spread a half cup timed-release fertilizer over your potting soil. Mulch your lavender plant.
