Write an article based on this "Learn that you are worthy of compassion. Practice daily affirmations. Practice forgiveness. Turn guilt thoughts into gratitude statements."
article: It may seem odd or uncomfortable to say that you will create compassion for yourself because it may seem self-centered, but self-compassion is the bedrock of self-acceptance. This is because compassion is the "sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it." You are deserving of this same understanding and kindness! The first step in self-compassion is validating your own self-worth. It is easy and quite common to allow others' thoughts, feelings, opinions, and beliefs to dictate our self-approval. Instead of allowing your approval to be the decision of others, make it your own. Learn to validate and approve of yourself without needing it from others. An affirmation is a positive statement meant to encourage and be uplifting. Using this method for yourself can be a powerful tool in helping to build self-compassion. Having compassion for yourself makes it easier to empathize and forgive your past self, which will help you overcome feelings of guilt and regret. Daily affirmations also help to slowly change your inner critic. Build compassion daily by telling, writing, or thinking affirmations. Some examples of affirmations include: I am able to get through tough times; I am stronger than I think. I am not perfect and make mistakes, and that is okay. I am a kind and thoughtful daughter. Take a compassion break. If you are having a tough day accepting a particular part of yourself, take a moment and be kind to build self-compassion. Acknowledge that your judgement of yourself causes pain and that self-judgment can be overly harsh. Remind yourself to be kind and practice self-affirmation. For example: If you think, "I am not the ideal body shape; I am fat," acknowledge that these thoughts are unkind to yourself: "These are unkind thoughts and I would not say them to a friend. They make me feel down and worthless." Say something kind: "My body may not be perfect, but it is mine and it is healthy and it allows me to do things I love like playing with my children." Practicing self-forgiveness can help reduce feelings of guilt from your past which may be preventing you from fully accepting your present. You may be judging your past based on unrealistic expectations. Forgiving yourself will lift your shame and will give you room to build a new, more compassionate and accepting view of your past. Sometimes our inner critic is reluctant to let us forgive ourselves for the past. Sometimes we are unkind to ourselves by carrying around guilt. Take special notice of the guilt you may have. Try to evaluate if there were external factors involved in the situation. Sometimes events are out of our control, yet we hold on to those feelings of guilt. Evaluate if the actions were truly out of your control and resolve to forgive in abundance. To help you practice self-forgiveness, the exercise of writing a letter can be a powerful emotional and cognitive tool to start the process. Write a letter addressed to your younger or past-self, and use a kind, loving tone. Remind your younger self (inner critic) that you may have made mistakes. But you know you are not perfect, and that is okay. Our mistakes often offer valuable learning opportunities. Remind yourself that how you acted or what you did may have been all you knew how to do in that moment. Remembering that you often learn from past mistakes can help you think about your past in a productive way. Practice being thankful for what you have learned and accept that making mistakes is a part of life. Then, your past guilt or shame will not keep you from accepting yourself in the present. Write down the guilt phrases/thoughts you have, and turn each into a gratitude statement. For example: Unkind thought/inner critic: I was horrible to my family when I was in my 20s. I am so ashamed I acted that way. Gratitude statement: I am grateful that I learned about behavior at that age, because it has been helpful in raising my own children. Unkind thought/inner critic: I tore apart my family because I could not stop drinking. Gratitude statement: I am grateful that I can mend relationships and try again in the future.

Dampen a washcloth. Rub the toothpaste in. Wipe away any remaining toothpaste. Clean up your work area. Add baking soda if any marker stain remains."
article: You want basic white toothpaste. Not gel, whitening paste, or anything with abrasive crystals in it. The traditional white paste will do the trick without damaging the wood. Sometimes rubbing alcohol or peanut butter can be used in place of toothpaste to remove marker stains, but toothpaste is usually more effective. You want to make sure the spot you're removing is accessible and flat, so that the toothpaste doesn't run down the surface while you're trying to rub it in. Make sure your marker stain is covered with a thick layer of toothpaste. You can apply more later if you don't have enough. Grab a clean washcloth and hold it under running water. Any temperature that's comfortable to you is fine. Once the washcloth is soaked, squeeze any excess water so that it's damp and not dripping wet. Using a circular motion, rub the toothpaste into the marker spot for three to five minutes or until most of the toothpaste disappears. Apply enough pressure that your toothpaste can penetrate the marker, but not so much pressure that you're going to damage the finish on your wood. Add more toothpaste if the washcloth doesn't move freely over the entire surface of the marker stain. Using your damp washcloth, wipe off any toothpaste that's still left on the wood. Make sure you wipe in the direction of the wood grain, not against it. The wood will dry and any toothpaste should be gone. Your marker stain should be removed. All you have to do now is clean up your area. Put away your toothpaste, dispose of your washcloth to be cleaned, and replace your wooden object if it's movable. Repeat the previous steps, but add an equal amount of baking soda (for the amount of toothpaste) to your stain. This will add abrasion so use caution when you're rubbing the mixture into the wood. If the baking soda doesn't work, follow the same steps using rubbing alcohol or peanut butter. Be sure to wipe away the alcohol or peanut butter with a damp washcloth, then let the wood dry before cleaning up.

They can be pretty beads, buttons, or even rhinestones. Choose something that is about the size of your earlobe and not too heavy. If you are using coat buttons or stud earrings, snip the prong or loop off using a pair of wire cutters. If you are a child, ask an adult to help you with this step. Make sure that the magnets are all the same size, and just a little bit smaller than your jewelry pieces. Try to use magnets made specifically for earrings; you can find them in the beading section of an art store. If you can't find them, any small, round magnets will work. Regular black magnets will be the least painful to wear, but they won't be very strong. Silver, "rare earth" magnets will be stronger, but they may also more painful for some people. If you have sensitive ears, do not use the silver-colored, "rare earth" magnets. They are too strong, and can pinch your ears. Set the other magnets aside for later. Position them so that you can't see the magnet sticking out from underneath. Because the magnets are round, it doesn't matter if you glue your item upside down or right side up. This should not take more than a few minutes, but you may want to refer to the glue bottle for specific drying times. Make sure that you keep the magnets far enough apart so that they don't attract each other and stick. Pick up an earring, and hold it against the front of your earlobe. Pick up one of the plain magnets and hold it behind your earlobe. If the magnets don't stick, flip the plain magnet around. Once the magnets stick, let go and put the other earring on. Check your earrings in the mirror, and make sure that they are facing the same direction before showing them off.
