INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Practice focusing on the positive in your life by keeping a gratitude journal. Keeping your eyes peeled for the blessings in your life helps you better appreciate all you are, and all you have been given. For example, you could decide to look for five things in your life every day, or every week, for which you are thankful and appreciative. This might include your gratitude for a particular relationship, nature, or even something small like a conversation with your neighbor. There are numerous smartphone apps you can download where you can record your thoughts. They may also have reminders that can help you turn this into a daily habit. An entry in a gratitude journal might look like: "Today I am grateful for the beautiful sunrise, my coworker bringing donuts, listening to my daughter laugh with her friends, my wife's sense of humor, and getting to the gym." Consider downloading a gratitude journal app that can remind you to record all the things for which you are thankful. Don't look to material things to help you appreciate yourself. Make an effort to avoid purchasing an item that you think will help you feel better about yourself most of the time, things cannot make us happier long-term. Look for fulfillment within yourself and having meaningful relationships with others instead. Being content with all that you already have helps gets you out of a competitive, if-only-I-had-this mindset that prevents you from appreciating who you are at the present moment. Try telling yourself, "This new thing will not make me better. I already am enough and have enough." It's okay to pamper yourself, but try pampering yourself with experiences rather than items. For example, take a vacation instead of buying something expensive that costs the same amount. Often people are much harder than themselves than they would ever be on someone else try to treat yourself with the same compassion you would show a friend. If you catch yourself thinking something negative about yourself, stop and consider if you would ever say those things to a loved one. Self-compassion includes your self-talk as well as tending to physical, mental, and emotional self-care. Don't call yourself names or beat yourself up for mistakes. If you catch yourself doing so or engaging in any other forms of negative self-talk, stop an re-evaluate. For example, "No, I'm not stupid for forgetting about that meeting. I had a busy morning and was rushing around." Instead of beating yourself up, figure out something you could do to do better next time. For example, if you missed your meeting because you were rushing around that morning, you could say, "I'll start waking up 15 minutes earlier so I am less rushed in the morning. I'll also put reminders in my phone as soon as I know about an event." Being mindful and present helps you stay out of judgment of yourself and others. Staying present or mindful means staying focused on your breathing, the sounds and sights and smells around you, and observing thoughts without judgement. The result of this practice reduces brain chatter, which will help reduce any negative self-talk you may have. Staying present helps you stay peaceful. Instead of focusing on all the things you need to do (or haven't done), you focus on the moment and your breath. Everything else that isn't connected to the moment (your feelings, your to-do list, your worries) can be exhaled out with your breath. This takes practice, so don't become too frustrated if you don't get the hang of it right away. Stick with it!

SUMMARY: Keep a gratitude journal. Be content with less. Show yourself compassion. Stay in the moment.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hashtags ('#' attached to a word or phrase) are a basic symbol code that groups together posts with the same tag so they can be archived and accessed conveniently later. You can add hashtags to a post or comment by simply typing the ampersand symbol with an identifying term after. For instance, you might hashtag a photo of your noon meal "#chickensalad," "#bistro" or "#cleaneating." Pressing or clicking on a hashtag will take you to a separate page where all posts that use that hashtag are grouped together. People sometimes use hashtags ironically or humorously, but that is not their intended purpose. Hashtags are for keeping track of the subject matter of various content. Use the "@" symbol followed by a username (i.e. @oprahwinfrey) to tag that user in a post or comment you want them to see. Instagram will automatically link their profile to the post in question and send them a notification that they've been tagged. This feature is useful if you wish to address a specific person or bring something to someone's attention that they might not have otherwise seen. Be certain that you spell the username of the person you're trying to tag correctly. If you make a mistake, the app won't register the user and they won't be sent a notification. One of Instagram's newer features allows you to share posts with other users directly and privately. Locate the arrow icon below the post you want to share, then choose who to send it to on the scrolling bar that appears at the bottom of the screen. The user will be able to access the post from their direct message inbox so that you don't have to tag them publicly. Direct sharing is more expedient way of sending content to friends than tagging them in posts.

SUMMARY: Use hashtags to sort and organize content. Tag your friends in posts. Share content directly with friends.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your family or community is extremely conservative, then it may not be safe to tell them that you're pregnant, especially if you think you will abort. Don't risk being verbally abused, physically abused, or kicked out of your house if you think it's possible. If it's not safe to tell your family, you may be able to go out "camping" or "on a road trip" and get an abortion in secret. (See if there's a trusted friend who will go with you and corroborate your story.) Be cautious about signing forms and make it clear to the clinic that you want this to be secret from your family and your family doctor. After your abortion, you might not be feeling so well. Your family might think it is a cold or the flu. Once your doctor has confirmed your pregnancy, you will likely have many questions. Your doctor is a great resource for you. Being pregnant will cause significant physical changes to your body. Even if you don't plan to be pregnant for long, you should ask your doctor what you can expect. Your doctor will also perform a physical exam, and may perform blood tests or an ultrasound at the visit. Ask your doctor to give you an approximation of how far along you are in your pregnancy. Many states have laws about when you can and cannot receive abortions. Typically, abortions are safest in the first trimester. Being unexpectedly pregnant can be a very frightening experience. You might feel confused and scared. Give yourself a few days to think about your options. If you have a friend or family member you can trust, don't be afraid to ask for advice. Most importantly, think about the decision that is best for you and your health. Essentially, you have three options to choose from: parenthood, adoption, or abortion. Even if you know what you want to do, it is still a good idea to talk to a counselor. They can prepare you with what to expect. Reproductive health clinics also provide resources to people who aren't sure whether they want abortions, and can offer resources if you think you want to keep the pregnancy but lack money or support. If you can, you may want to talk to the potential father to help you make your decision. But, legally the choice is yours.

SUMMARY:
Determine whether it's safe to tell anyone what's going on. Consult a doctor, if it's safe to do so. Think about your options.
