INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're obsessed with something like playing video games or watching TV, begin to reduce the amount of time you spend doing it. If you're obsessed with a person, limit how often you contact the person. Cutting back on your obsession can help you become more independent and carefree. For example, if you're limiting contact with a person, remember to include social media time when cutting back on contact. Avoid texting, messaging, sending photos, or calling often. When you're busy, it's easy to forget about what's bothering you. Preoccupy your mind so that you don't obsess. In addition to trying new things, you can also catch up on tasks you've been meaning to do, staying in touch with your support network, and taking time to focus on your needs. You might find that much of your time had previously been spent obsessing. Think about things you've put on hold and finally do them. For example, you could get a haircut or meet up for a drink with friends who you've been putting off for a while. It's easy to make your obsession someone else's problem. But, instead of worrying over something that you believe to be someone else's fault, just own up to it. Taking responsibility will help you control your mindset. Only you have control over your thoughts and you can stop obsessing. For example, if a colleague got a promotion you were up for, don't blame the colleague and obsess over it. Instead, take responsibility for the fact that your colleague was more qualified than you. If you obsess over something, regardless of whether it's a drug, video games, or a person, chances are your friends enable you to obsess. To stop obsessing, you should be in an environment where you don't feel like obsessing and the people around you don't bring it up. You might want to spend your free time in a different hang out spot and be around people that don't enable you, even if this means taking a break from certain friends. Are all of your friends part of this culture? Then you may have to rely on family. Take this as an opportunity to renew your relationships with those you've fallen away from recently. You could rediscover people that you've been missing in your life. Obsessing over something or someone is stressful. Take a break from the anxiety and do something you find relaxing. You might soak in a bubble bath, practice deep breathing, or have a glass of wine while you read a book. The point is to do something you enjoy that also calms you. If you're having trouble with obsessive thoughts while you relax, consider playing a recording of guided imagery or listen to an anxiety relief script.

SUMMARY: Limit your exposure to your obsession. Keep yourself busy. Take responsibility. Spend time with a different social group. Relax and have fun.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Orchids need to be transplanted every one to two years as their growing medium breaks down and loses nutrients. For most orchids, spring is the ideal time for transplantation, but there are also other factors to consider. An orchid should be transplanted: After the plant has bloomed and is growing new roots or leaves When the roots and plant start to overgrow the current pot When it's not currently flowering or forming new flowers If the pot breaks If the plant becomes infested with bugs If growing medium is wet and not draining properly Pot choice for orchids is important, and this includes the size and the style. Transplanting an orchid into a pot that's too large will force the plant to focus on root growth rather than flowering. Also, for an orchid to survive, it has to be placed in a pot with drainage holes. Pick a pot that will allow for one to two years of growth, but nothing larger than that. If you're not sure about how much growth there will be, opt for a pot that's just one size larger than the current one. You can use plastic or terra cotta pots for orchids. Terra cotta pots require more frequent watering. Use pots with holes in the sides so there's lots of air flow. Opt for a shallow pot versus a deep one to prevent water buildup. Most orchids don't grow in the ground like other plants, but instead grow on trees. Because of this, many orchids cannot grow in regular potting soil, and instead need a very loose soil that's amended with chunks of bark and other organic matter. Popular mediums for orchids include coconut husk, sphagnum moss, perlite, fir bark, and mixtures of these. Before transplanting your orchid, give it some water three days prior to help reduce the shock of transplanting. Don't give it more water than usual, however. Instead, give it enough to moisten the growing medium it's currently in. Remember to fertilize your orchid once per week with a weak 20-20-20 fertilizer solution. Many orchid media are dry, and soaking the medium before transplanting will help it absorb and retain more moisture. To soak the medium: Fill the new orchid pot with as much growing medium as you'll need to repot the orchid Transfer the medium to a bucket that's about twice as large as the new pot Fill the bucket the rest of the way with water Let the medium soak for one to two hours Strain the medium through a fine-mesh strainer Pour running water over the medium to remove dust Once you remove the orchid from its current pot, you'll need a sterilized knife or scissors to trim dead roots and leaves. It's important to use a sterilized tool to prevent the spread of viruses and diseases. One way to sterilize your cutting tool is by holding it over an open flame until the metal glows red hot. You can also soak the knife or scissors in a disinfectant, such as iodine or alcohol. Soak for about 20 minutes. Another way to sterilize your instrument is by boiling it in water for 20 minutes.

SUMMARY: Pick the right time. Select a suitable pot. Choose the right growing medium. Water the orchid. Soak the new medium. Sterilize a cutting tool.
