In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When experiencing pain, you may find yourself thinking, "this will never go away" or "I can't endure this."When you have these thoughts, you allow yourself to experience the emotional reactions that accompany these thoughts, such as feeling bad for yourself, uncomfortable, angry, or fearful. Practice re-programming your thoughts, and find that your emotions begin to change, too. When you catch yourself in a negative thought, think of a different thought to replace it. Instead of thinking, "I am so miserable" think, "I am improving each day." Instead of thinking, "The pain is unbearable", think, " I can handle this pain and focus my mind elsewhere." It's easy to focus on what hurts, but choose to focus your attention to a part of your body that is fully functioning and healthy. Perhaps you observe your hands and fingers moving effortlessly, or wiggle your toes. Relax as you observe and feel these sensations, allowing them to the dominant sensation you feel in your body. Even if pain feels overwhelming, this can remind you that your whole body is not in pain. You can even focus on the sensation of blinking your eyelids, how effortless it feels and how your body monitors this action on its own most of the time. Suffering is a mindset based on reliving the past, blaming others, or telling yourself that you are miserable. Remember that suffering is relative and based on an emotional experience, not physical surroundings. While you cannot choose to experience a pain-free life, you can choose how you respond to the pain. Instead of thinking, "I have the worst luck ever", say, "I' didn't chose this, but I will accept this situation and not feel bad for myself." Create a practice or a ritual that allows you to practice not suffering. You may choose a mantra to say to yourself any time negative thoughts come up, such as "I choose to respond to physical sensation without having to suffer." We spend most of our lives thinking it's okay to suffer, so give yourself time to adjust to this new mentality. Realize that your mindset may not change overnight, and there may be days you want to feel sorry for yourself. Thinking positively helps you to live a happier, more stress-free life. Instead of focusing on the negatives in your life, focus on all that is positive. Focus on your recovery, the positive gains you are making, and the care you are receiving. Don't get trapped in polarized thinking, or seeing things as "all good" or "all bad". if you blame yourself for your pain or for making bad decisions, remember that many factors influence each outcome. Allow yourself to say all sides, even the gray areas. While you may not like your present situation, you can accept what is out of your control. You can't, for example, take away your pain or injury, but you can accept its role in your reality. While acceptance isn't an easy practice, it helps you to diffuse stress and live with more peace. When pain and difficult feelings arise, take some deep breaths and say, "I do not enjoy what I am experiencing, but I accept that it is part of my life right now."
Summary: Observe your thoughts. Shift your attention. Choose not to suffer. Be positive. Choose acceptance.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After you finish cooking a roast, steak, or other cut of beef, remove 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of the beef drippings inside the pan. Transfer these drippings to a small saucepan. Keep the gravy ingredients warm by placing the saucepan on the stove. Set the temperature to low or medium-low heat. Remove as much liquid as possible but avoid the fat. Note that this type of beef gravy requires you to prepare a cut of beef before you can prepare the gravy. In a separate dish, whisk together the 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of cornstarch with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water. Combine until a thin paste forms. Use cool water. The exact temperature does not matter, but it should be slightly cooler than room temperature. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan of beef drippings, whisking well to combine. Continue whisking over low heat until the gravy begins to thicken notably. Pour roughly 2 cups (500 ml) of beef stock or beef broth into the saucepan, whisking it in gradually yet thoroughly. Alternate back and forth between adding stock and whisking it in. You should be able to maintain the consistency fairly well if you add the stock gradually. If the gravy starts to become thinner than you would prefer, stop adding the stock and let simmer, stirring frequently, to evaporate some of the liquid off. This step will take at least 5 minutes. You could also use water, milk, cream, or some combination of liquids instead of the stock. Sprinkle the seasonings into the gravy and give a quick stir to incorporate them into the liquid. The salt and pepper should be added according to your own preferences. If you are uncertain about how much to add, try adding 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground black pepper and 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt. Remove the gravy from the heat and ladle it into a gravy boat or other serving dish. Serve alongside your meal.
Summary: Pour 2 Tbsp (30 ml) pan drippings into a small saucepan. Combine the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the drippings. Slowly stir in beef stock. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Make an appointment with a psychologist or therapist to discuss a diagnosis of anxiety. Certain medical professionals are qualified to diagnose anxiety, including psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social works, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and some physicians who are well-trained in mental health diagnosis. Try asking your general practitioner for a referral to someone who can give you a diagnosis. You may be given a psychological evaluation, which can include answering questions about your symptoms, thoughts, behaviors, moods, and feelings and filling out a questionnaire. Once you have a diagnosis, this can be a huge relief. You now have the awareness to bring healing and improved health to your life. You may want to rule out certain diagnoses or medication interactions, which is why it can be helpful to meet your general practitioner. Talk about your symptoms with your physician. You may be given a physical exam or have some lab tests taken. Be sure to discuss any medications you use, in addition to any supplements, vitamins, or herbs you take. Discuss any substances you've used recently and regular alcohol consumption or tobacco use, as well as caffeine consumption. If you do have an anxiety diagnosis, it's best to start treatment right away. The faster you address your anxiety disorder, the better you can begin to feel. Many people choose to attend therapy as a primary way of addressing symptoms. Cognitive-behavior therapy is a technique that helps you think and act differently by challenging irrational beliefs that have a basis in fear and negative thought patterns and replacing them with more positive thoughts. Your therapist may teach you certain relaxation methods which can help calm anxiety, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. Practice relaxation and calming activities regularly to buffer stress and anxiety. You can also learn strategies to use in the moment, as you're experiencing anxiety or a panic attack, such as grounding techniques and diversion skills.
Summary:
Consult with a mental health professional. Meet with a physician. Plan for treatment.
