Problem: Article: Go on a quick stroll around the park of your neighborhood. Keep away from crowded places or ones with high traffic. If you go slower, concentrate on the nature around you and visualize the tension leaving your body. If you go faster, it will get your blood pumping and will cause the release of endorphins, which will help you to clear your mind. Any type of exercise will help you to clear your mind. You can try lifting some weights, riding a bike, or even playing a game of basketball. Then, use your meditation time to decompress. Find a count that works for you and then repeat it over and over again in time with your breaths. Breathe in for four counts and then breathe out for four counts. Make sure that your lungs inflate fully and try to remove all air from them with every exhale. Repeat this process for a few minutes until you feel calm and prepared to meditate. This is a tool that many people use to drift off into sleep; however, it also helps to relax your body for meditation. Pour some milk into a microwave-safe cup and heat it until warm. You can also heat the milk on the stove. Slowly sip the milk. Find a quiet, calm place and lie down for 30 minutes. Try not to exceed this time limit or your nap may make you more tired than focused. Once you wake up, take a few minutes to stretch before starting to meditate. Your nap can serve as a restart for your day and may lessen your stress levels. Taking naps during the day results in headaches for some people. If this is the case for you, experiment with the lengths of your naps or just try closing your eyes for a bit instead. Choose a type of tea that you prefer, whether it be peppermint, chamomile, or another option. Blend a cup and breathe in the steam. Slowly sip the tea. Some teas, such as chamomile, have built-in low-level sedation properties which can lead to almost immediate relaxation. For even more relaxing results, you can pair your tea with a warm bath. Just make sure to not get too relaxed or you may feel tempted to skip your meditation exercises. At least 15 minutes before you start to meditate, put on some clothes that are not distracting to you. Go with natural blends, such as cotton. Synthetic fabrics can be scratchy and less flexible. Making clothing adjustments can pull you out of your meditation. Some people prefer to wear something similar to workout attire. Try fitted or loose cotton pants with a matching t-shirt. You can also go shoeless for even more comfort. Sit still and consider each part of your body, starting with the top of your head and moving downwards. Pay attention to how each area feels. Are you experiencing any pain there? Does one area feel particularly strong? As you finish with your toes, tell yourself that you will work through all of this information later. Now, you are ready to focus on your mind.
Summary: Take a walk. Do some deep breathing exercises. Drink a glass of warm milk. Take a short nap. Drink a cup of herbal tea. Change into comfortable clothes. Complete a body scan.

Problem: Article: Wipe off any old residue using a grate scraper or paper towel, if necessary. Coat the rack with oil using a paper towel so that the duck breast won't stick to the grate. You can also spray the grill rack with cooking spray, but the grill can't be warm or turned on when you do this because the can is flammable. Use oils such as canola, peanut, soy, or corn. Turn one side on so that it's set to medium-high, and the other side so that it's on low-medium. Do this before starting to grill so that the grill has time to heat up. Give the grill roughly 5 minutes to preheat. If you're using a charcoal grill, set it up so that the coals are on 1 side, creating 2 different zones of heat. If you're cooking super small duck breasts, they may be completely done cooking after only being on the hot side of the grill. If you didn't sear the skin first, simply put the duck breast right on the grill. Place it skin-side down and grill it for 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is browned. The skin should also be slightly crispy. Use tongs to turn over the duck breast so that the other side gets a chance to cook. If desired, you can coat the duck breast with a sauce or glaze before flipping it, and then coat it again once you move it to the cool side. Smaller duck breasts will be done at this point, but larger ones might not be. Let the duck breast continue to cook on the cooler side of the grill until completely cooked. The internal temperature should be about 130F (54C). You can check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer. If you don't have a meat thermometer, do a simple touch test. If the duck breast feels like your forehead does when you touch it, it's well done. If it feels like your cheek, it's rare. Avoid cutting into the duck breastit needs to sit for at least 5 minutes after it's done cooking while it's still completely intact. Move the duck breast to a plate after it's done grilling, placing it skin-side up and uncovered. Wait 5-10 minutes before slicing it open with a sharp knife and beginning to eat. Letting the duck breast sit for awhile before cutting it will help distribute the temperature evenly and spread the moisture around.
Summary:
Clean and oil the grate to prevent the duck breast from sticking. Set up a hot side and cool side of the grill. Move the duck breast from the pan to the hot side of the grill. Flip the duck breast over to grill for 2-3 more minutes. Switch the duck breast to the cooler side of the grill. Let the duck breast sit for at least 5 minutes before cutting it.
