In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's important to give yourself time to process the negative feelings you are experiencing. As soon as you're able to do so, take a few minutes to just breathe and focus on what you are seeing, smelling, feeling, and hearing. This will help ground you in the present moment and break the cycle of stress and anxiety. If you can, find a quiet space where you can be by yourself, without distractions. It's okay to feel upset when you're having a bad day. Instead of ignoring your emotions or trying to make yourself cheer up, take a moment to identify and acknowledge what you're feeling. Putting a name to your feelings can help them seem less overwhelming. For example, you might think to yourself, "I'm feeling disappointed and mad at myself for getting a bad grade on that assignment." Don't try to judge or analyze your feelingsfor example, don't tell yourself, "It's ridiculous to be so upset about this!" Just make note of your feelings and let them be. Reflect on the negative feelings you are experiencing and think about what could have triggered your bad day. Was it stress at work? Anxiety over a test? Frustration towards someone you know? Try to label the source of your bad day in 3 words or fewer. For example: "frustration with Lisa" or "stress from clients". Studies show that the simple act of putting your feelings into words can dramatically reduce the effect of those feelings. Sometimes you may experience days when you feel down, anxious, or exhausted for no apparent reason. This is especially true if you struggle with issues like depression or anxiety. If this happens to you, remind yourself that you don't need a reason to feel badsome days are just more difficult than others. If you can't identify a reason for your mood, focus instead on helping yourself feel better in the moment. For example, you might have a drink of water or eat a healthy snack. If you're tired, take a brief break from whatever you're doing and rest. You can also try a few simple stress-relieving activities, like going for a walk, meditating, or doing a little yoga. It may be tempting to keep your dark mood to yourself, especially in a busy communal environment like the office or the classroom. However, connecting with other people when you're down can help you feel better. Reach out to a friend, loved one, or trusted colleague. Say something like, "Hey, I'm having a rough day. Mind if I vent a bit?" When you're in the middle of a bad day, it's easy to feel like things will be terrible forever. However, remember that this bad day will not last forever, and neither will the things you are feeling right now. Just because a bad experience is temporary does not mean your feelings about it at the time aren't valid. Be patient with yourself and allow yourself time to be upset. You might tell yourself something like, "This day has been awful and I feel really down about it right now, but today won't last forever." Try to view tomorrow as an opportunity to start fresh.
Summary: Focus on your physical senses if you're feeling stressed or anxious. Reflect on your emotions without judgment. Try to identify the source of your negative feelings. Acknowledge that not all bad days have an obvious cause. Share your feelings with someone you trust. Remind yourself that what you're experiencing is temporary.

The texture of your French toast will be best if you have day-old or slightly stale bread. The bread will be more firm, so it will hold up better when you dip it into the liquid mixture. Swirl the pan as the butter melts to help it spread across the pan evenly. Exactly how much butter you need will depend on the size of the skillet you're usingyou want the butter to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when it melts. About 1/2-1 tbsp (7-14 g) of butter should be enough to cook 2 pieces of bread at a time. If you are making 8 pieces of bread, you'll need this amount of butter 4 times. French toast is best eaten right away, so once it's finished cooking, place it on a plate and add your favorite toppings. For instance, you might drizzle maple syrup over your toast, or you might add sliced fruit and powdered sugar. Other toppings might include jam, honey, caramel syrup, apple butter, or peanut butter. If you won't be serving the French toast right away, place it on a baking sheet and keep it in a 250F (121C) oven for up to 30 minutes. While your French toast will have the best texture right after it's cooked, if you have leftovers, you can place them in a sealed container or freezer bag in the refrigerator for 2 days. Reheat it in the microwave or your toaster. If you need to store the French toast longer, freeze it in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

One-sentence summary -- Start with 8 slices of slightly stale or toasted bread. Melt a pat of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Serve the French toast hot with the toppings of your choice. Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Problem: Article: Scales are expressed as ratios and differ from map to map. The scale, printed in the upper right corner of the map, will look something like 1:100,000. A ratio of 1:10,000 indicates that every 1in (2.5cm) the map equals 10,000in (25,000cm) in the real world. Charts with smaller scales provide an up-close view, depicting more area details and markers. If you're familiar with land maps, the scale works the same way there. A harbor chart is an example of a small scale chart. Navigators need a close view of the harbor with all the obstructions and other details. Larger charts show land and waterways but few additional details. Look in the upper right corner of the map near the scale. You will see the unit of measurement printed in big letters. You need to know this because charts use all sorts of different measurements. Your chart could include feet, fathoms, or meters. In the U.S., charts generally use feet or fathoms. However, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has begun converting its charts to meters for the sake of international consistency. The black numbers printed on the chart represent water depth. Each number indicates the "mean lower low water" (MLLW) in an area. This is the average water depth at low tide, so most of the time the water is deeper than what you see on a chart. If you see a negative number, that means the water depth in the area is typically less than what is listed on the chart. Numbers written in fathoms have a unique look to them, so they are easy to spot. A fathom listing often consists of a pair of numbers. The first number indicates the number of fathoms. The second number, which will be a small subscript, is the number of additional feet. For example, a listing of 0 and 3 means a depth of 0 fathoms, 3 feet. A listing of 3 and 2 means 3 fathoms, 2 feet, or 20 feet total. For uniformity and simplicity, many modern charts use meters. This can be tough to understand if you're used to measurements in feet or fathoms. Multiplying by 3 is a quick way to get a relatively accurate estimate of the water's depth. For example, multiply a listing of 6 meters by 3 to estimate it as being at least 18 feet deep. The actual depth is 6 metres (20ft), so it isn't completely accurate, but it is helpful for avoiding shallow areas. If the depths are listed in feet, you can also divide them by 3 to quickly convert them to meters.
Summary:
Use the scale indicator to track distance on a chart. Find the unit of measurement used to indicate water depth. Read the chart numbers to figure out the water's lowest depth. Multiply fathoms by 6 to measure depths by feet. Multiply meter measurements by 3 to convert them to feet.
