Write an article based on this "Practice self-affirmations in the mirror. Disengage from others' judgmental or unmindful criticism of you."
article: Tell yourself that you are positive, good at what you do and ready to make changes when needed. Repeat often for maximum effect. Some affirmations you can start with include: "I'm a good person and I deserve to be loved and respected," "I am more than my insecurities," "I am doing the best that I can, and that is all I can do." The moment you let someone judge who you are, is the moment you have lost your happiness to someone else. Don't let other people tell you who you are. This is your life, not theirs. And while it is hard to stand up for what you believe in and to be your whole self, doing so is part of what defines your very best self. Surround yourself with people that make you happy. Being around negative people only drags you down. This may sound like a cliche, but think about how you feel when you're around positive people and how you feel when around negative people. It's two opposite extremes and you know how you'd rather be feeling.

article: Small surface cracks and chips that don't go all the way through the granite can be unsightly, but they don't pose a threat to the longevity of your granite surface. In fact, small cracks that go with the grain of the granite, called fissures, are a normal aspect of the stone. If you can only see a hairline crack from a very specific angle and you can't feel it when you run your hand across the surface, then it is likely that the crack is completely harmless and can be left alone. To ensure that these small imperfections do not become more unsightly, be sure to seal your granite regularly, usually once a year. In order to make the repair blend in with the rest of the slab, you will need to color the glue to match it. This is done by using some of the granite to color the glue. To create granite dust, use a grinder with a diamond grinding bit to go over the surface of a matching piece of granite. The fine dust created is what you will use. You will need no more than 2 teaspoons of granite powder to repair most cracks under 1 foot (0.30m) long. If you have an extra piece of the counter top material, you can use this. You can also remove a bit of granite dust from an area that is not visible, such as the underside of a counter top. Wear a dust mask that is rated for this type of particulate. Cover the area all around the chip or crack so that the filler will not get all over the surface. Use painter's tape or any other tape product that can hold up to epoxy or resin, and yet will come off the granite easily when you are done. Mask off to within 18 inch (0.32cm) around the whole crack or chip so that cleaning up will be easier. Follow the directions supplied with the epoxy you are using, which typically includes mixing a set amount of each part of the epoxy with each other. Then add the granite dust until the product is a thick paste that is the same general color as the granite. Pick an epoxy that states on its packaging that it can be used for granite or stone repair. Use a wooden paint mixer or other disposable tool with at least 1 flat side to mix the epoxy. Tongue depressors work exceptionally well for this job. This tool will then also be used for applying the epoxy to the crack. Smear the epoxy into the crack or chip until it is filled. You can do this with the tool you used to mix the epoxy. Then smooth it out as much as you can, as any bumps will need to be sanded down. The epoxy does tend to shrink a bit while drying, so it's better to over-fill the crack than to under-fill it.
