How to handle a cheating partner
Decide if you want to re-establish trust.
When a partner is unfaithful, it is a serious breach of trust. And it is something that may indicate that this person is not worthy or capable of a healthy relationship.

OPTIONS:
- In some cases, this is only true if you two feel comfortable enough to reestablish trust again. Here are some examples of whether you'd want to have a second relationship : You feel reluctant to apologize for what you have done to the other person in the past.
- If you have no inclination or feel that you should reestablish trust, then you may want to start back on a thicker footing. Whether or not this is an option may depend on whether the person is a friend, an acquaintance, or a family member.
- If this is the case, you should consider the possibility that a new partner should be involved in your relationship. If you agree to reestablish trust, then you must be monogamous and abstain from cheating when together.
- On one hand, good people make bad choices and if they are truly sorry and can make amends, forgiveness can lead to an even better relationship. On the other hand, if you simply cannot trust that person again, the relationship is effectively dead.

OUT: On one hand, good people make bad choices and if they are truly sorry and can make amends, forgiveness can lead to an even better relationship. On the other hand, if you simply cannot trust that person again, the relationship is effectively dead.

How to use distraction as a bipolar coping skill
Choose engaging distractions.
The point of using distraction as a bipolar coping skill is that interrupts a cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors by shifting your attention somewhere else. If your alternative activity isn't something you enjoy, you won't fully engage in it, and will likely still be caught in your cycle.

OPTIONS:
- When you notice a negative thought breaking up with a positive thought, stop and force yourself to replace it with an alternative thought. For example, focus your attention on completing a grade at school instead of watching tv or trying a sport.
- Choose activities you enjoy doing and stick to them, or choose another activity. For example, a sports team might encourage you to check out a basketball hoop instead of hitting a ball.
- Rather than re-engage with your problem, try to maintain distractions as possible. Try to both work out your problems.
- Choose distractions that you really enjoy or that will require your full attention. For example, if you enjoy gardening, then use pruning your roses as a distraction when you're feeling irritated.

OUT: Choose distractions that you really enjoy or that will require your full attention. For example, if you enjoy gardening, then use pruning your roses as a distraction when you're feeling irritated.

How to freeze celery
Choose the right stalks.
When you're planning to freeze celery, it helps to start with the best stalks. Select those that are crisp and tender because they'll be more likely to freeze well.

OPTIONS:
- Choose stalks that are firm and rich in fiber. While celery isn't usually dried out, it may have a little bit of moisture.
- Give the celery about 5-6 stalks of each type of celery. Celery needs to be fresh and whole to taste.
- Avoid stalks that have coarse strings when you're freezing celery. Wash and trim the celery.
- Avoid stalks with very heavy pieces of skin because they'll be overripe when frozen and will be hard to cut, which is hard to remove. Look for celery stalks with bright, green leaves.
