Article: Lay the paper down vertically and fold it from left to right so that its corners meet up. You can use ordinary white printer paper, construction paper, or origami paper. This is called folding the paper "hot dog style." Make a neat crease along the paper. To strengthen the crease, run your finger down the fold 3-4 more times.

Problem: Article: Before placing the flowers in the ice tray, you should wash away any dirt, bugs, or other debris that might be on the petals. Fill a bowl with cool water and carefully dip the flowers in to rinse them clean. Set them out on a clean towel to dry for 30 minutes to an hour. It's especially important to rinse the flowers if you've picked them yourself. If you've purchased edible flowers for a store or website, they've likely already been rinsed. However, it's a good idea to rinse them yourself to be sure that all of the dirt is removed. You want your ice cubes to be as clear as possible so the blooms stand out. Start with distilled water so the impurities have been removed, and place it in a saucepan. Heat the water on the stove at high heat until it comes to a boil, and then allow the water to boil for 2 to 3 minute. The amount of water that you'll need to boil depends on how many ice cubes you plan to make. Add water to the tray until they're full and dump it directly into the saucepan to ensure that you have enough. You shouldn't add the boiled water to the ice tray right after you remove it from the stove. Instead, let the water sit for approximately 20 to 30 minutes or until it's cooled completely to avoid imperfections in the finished ice cubes. Before you add the flowers and water to the ice tray, you should clean the tray to ensure that dirt and debris don't wind up in your ice cubes. Rinse the tray with cool water and dishwashing soap, and wipe out each compartment with a clean kitchen towel or piece of paper towel. Silicone ice trays are usually the best option when making blossom ice cubes. It's easier to remove the cubes from the tray without breaking them because the tray is flexible. If possible, use a tray that has larger compartments. If your finished ice cubes are large, they'll melt more slowly in drinks.
Summary: Rinse and dry the blossoms. Boil the water that you'll use for the ice. Allow the water to cool. Wash the ice cube tray.

Instead of focusing on the end-goal, break the process down into manageable, daily goals. For example, instead of saying "My goal today is to get a raise at work," approach the goal from a more manageable perspective. Start with smaller goals, such as getting to work early every day, or going out of your way to have a conversation with your boss. The point of the baby steps is to build up to your end-goal through obtainable, tangible steps. There are countless distractions in today's world, and it can be easy to get side-tracked. Keep your Must-Do list handy and refer to it whenever you feel yourself drifting off course. Don't allow yourself to get sucked into time wasting activities when you have goals to obtain. Set aside designated leisure time for the day. Resist the temptation to "work on it tomorrow." Remind yourself that you need to accomplish your list today. Take the time to practice skills that you haven't mastered yet. More skills means more opportunities for you. Hone your skills that you need to achieve your goal. For example, if you are looking for a raise, work on the skills you need for the job on your free time in order to increase your effectiveness at work. Broaden your skillset. Work on skills that may not relate to your current goals, but that interest you. Not only will this keep you productive, it will make you a more well-rounded and capable person. You will hit obstacles and setbacks. Keep your mind focused on your goals and your heart positive. Celebrate each small victory to give yourself a boost in spirit. Approach each defeat as a lesson to be learned; dust yourself off and try another way. Confidence is essential to obtaining goals and changing your life. It will affect all of your interactions with others, and will drastically increase your motivation. Take pride in your actions and thoughts, and own your mistakes. Be able to laugh at yourself, but avoid self-deprecation. There is a difference between being confident and being cocky. Avoid over-inflating your ego by tempering your confidence with some realism. Cockiness is often viewed as a sign on inner insecurity. A truly confident person inspires confidence and trust in others.
