In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're using a live blue crab, submerge the crab in a large bowl of ice water for 2-3 minutes to stun it. Then, remove the crab from the ice water and lay it on its back. Use a knife or ice pick to stab the crab through its shell 1 inch (2.5cm) below its mouth. You can also boil the crab for 1 minute to kill it. Numb the live crab in the freezer for 15 minutes before boiling. Then, remove the crab from the freezer and drop it in a pot of boiling water. Let the crab boil for 1 minute with the pot uncovered. After 1 minute, remove the crab using tongs and submerge it in a bowl of ice water so it stops cooking. Stick your thumbs in the small opening at the backside of the crab. Pull in opposite directions with your thumbs until the top part of the crab's shell tears from the rest of its body. Discard the top part of the shell. The crab's 2 front legs should fall off when you pull off the top of the shell. If they don't, gently pull them off the crab's body. Lay the crab on its back so the bottom of the crab is facing up. Take a knife and wedge it under the edge of the crab's abdomen, which looks like a triangle. Use the knife to lift the abdomen up. Then, pull the abdomen off the crab's body using your fingers.
Summary: Kill the crab humanely before you remove the shell. Pull the top of the crab's shell off using your fingers. Remove the crab's abdomen.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Mindfulness means being in the moment instead of racing ahead towards the future or being mired in the past, two things that make it hard to focus on loving life and being happy. Do one action mindfully. This could be something as simple as eating your dinner or sitting down to do your homework. Notice things like the taste of whatever you're eating and what the texture is like. Is it crunchy? Is it hot? Is it salty? Don't place a value judgment on it, like it's too hot, or it tastes gross, because that will have you focus on the negative, rather than being neutral. Take 20 minutes every day and practice breathing mindfully. Draw in breath for a certain number of counts (say, 4 counts) and then release it for two extra counts (say, 6 counts). Watch your belly rise and fall as you breathe deeply. If your mind starts to wander, simply draw it back to the counting. You can even use apps like Insight Timer to help walk you through mindfulness practices if you are new to the concept. Take a 5 minute break. If you have a short period between classes or during your work hours, take a moment to look out of the window instead of immediately going to check your phone or your email. Notice what it looks like outside, what the weather is doing, what color the sky is. Again, don't assign value judgments to the things that you're noticing. being grateful and practicing gratitude means that you celebrate the things that have happened in your life, taking nothing for granted and valuing your experiences. Practicing gratitude can help you feel better about life and about yourself and can help you feel happier. Maintain a gratitude journal, where you record the things that you're grateful for (like having a roof over your head and food to eat or having your health). Note people that you're grateful for and the kindnesses that you've experienced. Notice the small things. The small things are really what make your life either so much easier or so much harder. Focus on things like the warmth of your jacket on a cold winter day, or eating a delicious cupcake, or something nice someone said to you. Discuss what you're grateful for. Talk to a trusted family member, friend, or therapist about the things that you're grateful for. This will help you to remember the good things about your day and decrease your awareness or focus on the more difficult things. You can set and work towards big, long-term goals, but make sure that you set smaller goals that you can achieve more quickly. This will help you feel accomplished and remind you that you can do things! Make a goal to clean your room or house once a month. You can put on some music and sing along as you work and you'll feel incredibly accomplished and neat once you've finished. Don't beat yourself up if you can't accomplish something, or can't accomplish it in the time frame you wanted. Instead, ask yourself what you learned from the experience and what you might do differently next time. Framing it as a learning experience rather than a failure will help keep you more productive and happier. Negative thoughts are bad for both your mind and your body and they can color the way you perceive everything. Now having stray negative thoughts is completely normal, but dwelling on them is not healthy. You'll want to focus on the positive, rather than the negative if you want to love life. Avoid comparing yourself to other people. Instead, focus on what you have in life and what you enjoy. The only person you have to please is yourself, so don't waste time worrying about what others think. Don't let your negative thoughts linger. When they pop up, acknowledge them and let them go. For example, if a thought pops up saying "I'm ugly" say to yourself "I'm having a thought that I'm ugly. Is this a useful thought?" and let it go. Don't focus on the past or the future too much. Obsessing over the things that have gone wrong in previous moments won't help you to live fully in the moment you're in. Likewise, worrying about what the future will bring, or simply looking forward only to the future, will keep you from being here and now. If you find your thoughts skittering backward and forwards, draw attention to something in the moment: a tree, your breath, the rain against the window. Whatever is happening, remember this, too, shall pass. You won't always be stuck in a traffic jam, just as you won't always have fantastic light karma. Reminding yourself that these situations are only momentary, will help you let go of them more easily.
Summary: Practice mindfulness. Practice gratitude. Set achievable goals for yourself. Think positively.

Realize your strengths and accomplishments throughout your life. Surround yourself with people who see the bright side of every situation.

Instead, take time for yourself and relax your mind, allowing you to understand your emotions and thoughts openly and safely. Meditate on your thoughts and emotions for answers, even if they include sadness or anxiety. Read a book you've always heard your friends talking about. Watch or catch up on shows that can be discussed with your friends and family. If you feel a growing sadness or lack of activities continuing over three weeks, check your insurance company or mental professionals for assistance. If you have been diagnosed with adult onset diabetes, then there is a good chance it is reversible. Consider the reasons you may have been diagnosed. These may include lack of exercise, smoking, and increased weight. Drug addiction and bad eating habits can also be causes of adult onset diabetes. Talk to your doctor about getting the disease under control. Remember to maintain a positive attitude and seek to educate yourself about how to beat the disease. Many people have made lifestyle changes and reversed their diabetic diagnosis as a result.
Summary:
Accept your diagnosis with diabetes. Focus on your relationships instead of who is to blame. Give yourself a day of relaxation. Reach out to therapists and psychologists when you need help. Keep in mind that diabetes may be reversible.
