INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your ex may try to come back into your life when they need attention or intimacy. Verbalize to your ex that "over means over" and refuse to allow the person to drop in and out of your life. Turn down the offer if they ask you to hang out one-on-one or have sex. This also means communicating your boundaries when the person expects you to drop everything to see them or interferes with your other relationships. Try to discontinue any joint activities that the two of you may have shared. Your ex may think that you two can continue some of these even though you have broken up. You will need to choose to discontinue them, or find new outlets away from your ex. If you've been in a relationship for an extended period of time, you may have been neglecting your self-care. Use your new single status to make yourself number one. Do all of the things that you've always wanted to do but never did in your relationship. Take yourself out to new and interesting restaurants, browse around art galleries, and attend concerts. On your self-dates, be sure to look your very best just as you would on a regular date. Get a new haircut or try out a new signature scent. Your self-esteem can take a hit after a breakup. Remind yourself how worthy you are by surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people. If you lack a strong support system, try joining a new club or organization in your area. You could also try to rekindle and rebuild relationships that you may have neglected while you were with your ex. Think of one small way to challenge yourself and do it. Taking even a minor risk can make you feel empowered. Take self-defense, sign up for a cooking class, complete a certification for your job, or wear brighter colors in your everyday wardrobe. Switching things up can make you feel brand new. You could also try journaling. This can be a valuable outlet for your feelings.

SUMMARY: Set strong boundaries with your ex. Date yourself for a while. Spend time with people who build you up. Try something new.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your seating position and center of gravity make a huge difference in how the kart handles. Sit back in the seat and try to relax your body. Don't lean forward or bounce the kart by fidgeting or jumping in the seat. Go karts don't have seatbelts, but they do have bucket seats that will support you while you drive. Don't worry about holding yourself in the seat. If you find that your arms are getting tired after driving, that might mean you're holding yourself up with your arms. Try to relax into the seat while you drive! You should hold the steering wheel near where 9 and 3 appear on a clock face. Some prefer higher or lower (as high as 10 and 2 or as low as 8 and 4). Make sure your hands are symmetrically placed on the kart steering wheel. Don't grip the wheel too tight. Firm and steady is the way to go to keep your wrists flexible and quick. Never use your shoulders to steer. Try to consistently use the same hand placement. Familiar positioning will help yourself react instinctively and stay in the zone. Once you receive the signal to go it may be tempting to mash down on the accelerator, but this isn't always best. Jamming the accelerator from a standstill can cause the wheels to spin rather than effectively grip the surface. You'll need to get the feel for your kart. If your kart wheels spin when you jam the accelerator, ease back and try to learn the sweet spot of maximum acceleration. Weather, track, and tire conditions have a major effect too. Be sure to adjust. If your kart can tolerate jamming the accelerator without losing traction, go for it! It almost sounds counter intuitive to steer less, but any deviation from a straight line compromises acceleration. Try to plot your driving and turning to involve as little steering and braking as possible. The straighter your overall course and the smoother your turns are, the faster you'll go! While you'll have a general idea of the lines you want to take from evaluating the course prior to racing, sometimes you need to switch things up. As you get used to a course and the limits of your kart you'll find places where you can push the limits and go even faster. If turns are too easy - and slow - try braking and turning later and later. See how far you can push the speed envelope while still making a turn. After your race, take notes on the course, your kart, and what you felt went both well and poorly. This may seem boring, but is one of the most important things you can do to improve in the future. Just ask any pro and they'll tell you the same thing. Even if you just had your best-ever run, you can always improve!

SUMMARY:
Sit correctly in your kart. Maintain a consistent hold on the steering wheel. Use controlled acceleration. Steer as little as possible. Experiment with different lines. Take track notes.
