Article: daily. When you are neglecting your emotional well-being, hurtful remarks are more likely to sting. Counteract any negative comments or behaviors from others by treating yourself with loving kindness. This can translate to many different things. Make a list of the positive activities you enjoy the most. Then, make a commitment to do a few of them daily. For example, you might like to cook healthy meals for yourself, walk your dog near the lake, or meditate before bed. There is always something to be learned from a conflict or painful experience. Once you've had some time to move away from the initial hurt, take time to reflect on what happened. Some things to think about include: What might have been going on in the other person's life, or in your relationship with them, to trigger the unkind words? Was there any truth in the words that you might be able to benefit from, even if they were phrased harshly or in an unhelpful way? If someone speaks to you this way again, how can you deal with it better in the future? Positive people bring positive vibes and negative people bring negative vibes. Make the choice to reduce the time you spend with negative or toxic people who criticize or devalue you. Choose to spend your time with supportive people who value what you bring to the table. A great way to heal from hurtful words is to engage in pleasurable activities. Pick up a hobby, join a new club or organization, or start back doing something you gave up a long time ago. Make more time in your daily and weekly schedule for things that make you smile. This could be pursuing a passion for learning, teaching others a skill that you are really good at, or simply improving your own knowledge of an activity like sewing or gardening. Stimulate your own emotional healing by doing more good for others. Commit to having more positive interactions with the people in your life and in your community. Interact with your loved ones in a positive way by expressing your appreciation for them and letting them know the good that you see in them. For instance, you might say, "Matt, you are so helpful. I don't know what I would do without you." You can also do this by engaging in random acts of kindness, like helping a neighbor with their yard work or buying lunch for the person behind you at the cafe. You might also radiate good vibes in your community by volunteering or donating to charity. Writing down your thoughts can bring clarity to what's happening in your inner world. Plus, when you write out hurtful comments you stop them from weighing you down. Start a journaling habit in which you write for a few minutes each day. You can write about the events of your day, follow an online journal prompt, or note a few things you are grateful for.

Article: You want to drill slower when you are drilling into hard materials; you can find charts online that provide recommended drill speed for different materials, including glass. Chuck a small bit into a variable speed motor drill. Make sure it is secured tightly. It is best to start with a bit maybe about 1/8" or 3/32" in size. You only want to create a dimple in the glass at first. Then, remove the cardboard or tape and drill faster, at about 400 rpm. If you drill too fast, your drill bit could cause burn marks around the tip. If it seems necessary, swap in a larger bit to enlarge your initial hole. The first hole is a "pilot" hole. It will guide the subsequent larger bits as you work your way up to the size of your finished hole When drilling glass, you should keep the drill at low or medium speeds. When you are close to breaking through, slow it down even more because this is when the glass can be the most fragile. If you press too hard on the glass with the drill, you could crack it. Hold the drill perpendicular to the glass so that you prevent chipping. You'll want to use lighter pressure if you're new to drilling to make it less likely you make a big mistake. Another approach is to drill half way through, flip the glass over (carefully) and drill through the back side of it until you meet the other hole in the middle. This is very important. Pour a little oil or water on the area that you are drilling. Water is the most common coolant used on drill bits. You will need to use more coolant if you are drilling a harder surface. The coolant will keep the drill bit or saw and glass lubricated and cool. If the glass gets too hot while drilling, it can crack and break. Coolant should be applied both before and during drilling. You could put a bottle with water in it and a small hole in it at the drill hole. It will trickle out and onto the hole as you drill the glass, cooling it. You could also spray a mist of water around the drill bit instead to keep it lubricated. Again, remember to be very careful of electrical cords and water. Try putting the water in a squirt bottle and apply it as you drill. If white powder forms as you drill, you should apply more coolant, and slow the process down. You could also place a wet sponge under the glass as you drill to act as a coolant.Or you could cover the glass with a small amount of water before drilling - basically put it in a shallow water bath in your container.

Start drilling at a very slow rpm. Lighten up the drilling pressure and speed even more so when the drill tip is close to breaking through the glass. Use coolant so the drill bit doesn't get too hot.
Article: Moderately increasing your physical activity can help reverse insulin resistance. You don't have to get ready for a marathon. Just choose a physical activity that you enjoy or are interested in picking up. This way, you're more likely to become active. You may start walking more, climbing more stairs, doing more outdoor activities, hiking, gardening, aerobics, Tai chi, yoga, using an elliptical, using a rowing machine, using a stationary bicycle, or stretching. Consider whether you want to work out alone, with someone else, or play a group sport. Start with 10 minutes of activity a day. When you're comfortable with that level of activity, add a few minutes every week. For example, you may tell yourself to walk more. You might try parking your car farther from the office or getting off of the elevator two or three floors early so you can take the stairs the rest of the way. Increase these amounts by parking even farther away or taking more flights of stairs. Avoid setting an extreme goal for yourself early on. You'll be more likely to remain active if you set small, achievable goals. Once you've been working out for a while, start to challenge yourself. Work yourself up to 30 minutes of activity a day for at least 5 days of the week. To keep things interesting, you may want to mix up the activities you do. For example, you might swim for 20 minutes and jog for 10 minutes one day. Consider joining a gym and getting a personal trainer. This way, you'll understand how physical conditions can impact your physical activity. A trainer can help you design a personalized fitness plan.

Choose a physical activity. Start slowly. Become comfortable with more physical activity.
