INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Experiment with new activities that might interest you. When you stretch your comfort zone, you get yourself out of a rut. You inject more excitement into your life. You meet new people. Be open to trying new activities so that you learn to be a little more fearless. Try volunteering at a nonprofit organization, or learning a new sport or hobby. Pick something that you have very little experience with and go for it! Your goal to become more interesting might involve becoming more courageous or being friendlier. But it's difficult to achieve these traits unless you have a specific plan in place. Try out concrete activities or skills, instead of focusing on building one of your personality traits. For example, instead of convincing yourself you need to be more courageous, you might try simply participating in an activity that produces some degree of fear when you think about it. Or, you could try rock climbing if you are afraid of heights, or visit a petting zoo if you are afraid of animals. By pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, you might eventually become more comfortable with participating in activities you or others might find interesting. When you expand your network of acquaintances, you can become exposed to more interesting situations and activities. Ask people questions about themselves. Once you get someone talking, you may discover, for example, that this person has expert knowledge of beekeeping, an activity you've always wanted to try. Seeing more of the world can make you more attuned to subtle differences between people from different backgrounds or different ethnicities. Being sensitive to how these differences affect others and yourself can sometimes make people feel more comfortable around you. This will also give you a greater sense of what interests you can look like in different parts of the world. Make your next holiday an unusual one. Go to an exotic place and do things you would not normally do. This might include an activity such as backpacking, surfing, climbing a mountain or going on a jungle safari. Read books about fun topics such as how to make unique cocktails, exotic places to travel or how to become a great lover. These topics will give you lots of material for riveting conversations.

SUMMARY: Try out new activities to stretch your comfort zone. Build your personality traits by trying out concrete activities. Meet new people. Travel as much as possible. Read more.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a paper towel (or a cloth towel that you can discard), press down on the spot where your cat urinated to blot up the liquid. Repeat this method until the area is mostly dry. If the spot has happened a while ago, you can skip this step. If you have a blacklight, you can use this to find old, dried cat urine. You can purchase an enzyme-based cleaner specifically formulated for pet stains in many pet stores and online. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Most pet enzyme cleaners can be applied liberally to the affected area and left to dry completely. If the enzyme product did not completely remove the smell, you can try using a vinegar solution. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water and apply this to the affected area. Vinegar will further breakdown the smell and help it to dissipate. Pour the vinegar solution directly onto the soiled area. Using a scrub brush, work the vinegar solution into the stain. Use a paper towel or old rag to blot up as much of the mixture as you can. Allow the area to dry completely, then assess if the stain is cleaned, or if further action is necessary.

SUMMARY:
Blot up the urine if it's still wet. Use an enzyme-based cleaner. Create a vinegar solution from equal parts vinegar and water. Scrub the vinegar into the stain. Allow the vinegar solution to sit for 10-15 minutes, then blot.
