INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Despite the commonly held belief that people need to vent their anger to help alleviate its damaging effects, research indicates that this method is counterproductive and can actually increase anger. However, exercise is very effective at relieving symptoms of depression and anxiety. The benefits of exercise for regulating anger are debated. Some studies suggest that because vigorous exercise actually increases physiological arousal, it may make feelings of anger worse. However, slow exercises such as yoga and tai chi may help you relax and calm down. Studies have also shown that over the course of several weeks, exercise can increase feelings of emotional well-being and calm, especially in people who are experiencing symptoms of depressed mood. Exercise is unlikely to help you in the moment, but it's good for your heart and also appears to help your emotional health in the long run. Join a community league. If you like to play team sports, it could be helpful to join an adult basketball, softball, or soccer league. You'll get regular exercise, you'll get in better physical shape, and you'll make some friends that will likely become part of your social support system. Try going for a relaxing walk when you feel overwhelmed. Allow yourself to be quiet with yourself. Drink in the natural beauty that surrounds you, focusing on noticing the small beautiful details that you usually miss. Breathe deeply and evenly. This will get you exercise and help you relax. Deep-breathing exercises, listening to calming music, and progressive muscle relaxation have all been shown to be effective for slowing heart rates and decreasing anxiety. Each technique takes some practice to master, but those who learn to use them often find them to be highly effective. Learn how to breathe. Practice breathing deeply from your diaphragm. Breathing shallowly from your chest won't help. Instead, imagine your breath coming up from your gut. If you can master this technique, you'll find it much easier to relax yourself. The process is simple. Just sit straight in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your eyes closed. Think of a calming phrase, such as "I feel at peace" or "Take it easy" and say it or think it to yourself over and over, syncing your words with your breathing. Before you know it, your negative thoughts will drift away and you'll feel more relaxed.(Note: if you are a spiritual or religious person, prayer could be a useful substitute for meditation.) Don't give up too soon. Meditation can be difficult, especially at first, because it takes some patience to see any results. At first, you may even feel a bit more anxious or frustrated, just because you want it to work more quickly. Take your time, and you'll reap the rewards. Crying is viewed as a sign of weakness in some cultures, particularly for men. However, giving yourself permission to cry can provide you with a valuable outlet for your intense emotions. Many people end up feeling better after they cry, especially if they are in a secure environment around loved ones.

SUMMARY: Exercise to help deal with depression. Develop relaxation techniques. Learn how to meditate. Allow yourself to cry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: An equivalent fraction is a set of fractions that may look different from each other, but in reality are the same when reduced to their simplest forms. The easiest way to recognize equivalent fractions is to simplify each fraction and compare them. An example of three equivalent fractions: 1/2, 5/10, 10/20 When you are first starting out with fractions, an easy way to understand them is to draw a picture. Remember, the "whole" of the fraction is represented by the denominator and is the bottom number of the fraction. Compare the diagrams of each fraction and see if they match. A diagram of 1/2, 5/10, and 10/20 will have identical shaded regions and therefore are all equivalent fractions. Note: For numbers with large denominators, it will be a bit more difficult to draw pictures. Another way to check for equivalent fractions is to reduce each fraction to its simplest form. You will frequently come across fractions that haven't been simplified and they may look different in this form. Reduce both of the fractions and then compare them. For example: 1/2 is in its simplest form, but 5/10 and 10/20 can be simplified further. 5/10 can be divided by 5 to simplify to 1/2. 10/20 can be divided by 10 to simplify to 1/2. the two fractions. To cross multiply means to set the two fractions equal to each other and multiply across the equals sign in a "cross" or "x" shape. The denominator of one fraction is multiplied by the numerator of the other fraction. Then the other denominator and numerator are multiplied together. If the two products are equal to each other, the fractions are equivalent fractions. For example: set 10/20 = 1/2. Cross multiply: 2 x 10 = 20 x 1. 20 = 20; therefore, the fractions are equivalent. Another example: 5/10 = 1/2. Cross multiply: 5 x 2 = 10 x 1. 10 = 10; therefore, the fractions are equivalent.
Summary: Define equivalent fractions. Draw diagrams of each fraction. Simplify all of the fractions. Cross multiply

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Research has shown that only being able to listen to an audiobook while at the gym motivates people to go to the gym more often. Choose an audiobook that you are very interested in listening to so that this will actually motivate you. If audiobooks aren't your thing, then try making a list of movies you want to watch and only allow yourself to watch them while you are working out, such as while walking on the treadmill or using the elliptical machine. You may also consider making a gym-only music playlist. Create a playlist of your favorite songs and commit to only listen to them during your gym workouts. Another alternative to audiobooks is to find a podcast that you will only listen to at the gym. Choose upbeat tracks to help make your workout more fun. Knowing that you have something that you are working towards may also help you to stay motivated to go to the gym. Take some time to establish rewards for going to the gym a certain number of times weekly and monthly. For example, you could reward yourself with a new nail polish or movie rental for going to the gym 5 times in 1 week. You could also reward yourself with a pedicure or a trip to the movie theater for hitting the gym 20 times in a month. Choose rewards that will motivate you and commit to give them to yourself only if you meet your gym visit goals. Gym memberships are not cheap, so not using your membership is a waste of money. If losing money motivates you, then take some time to calculate how much money you will be losing by not going to the gym or not going often enough. For example, if your gym membership costs $60 per month, and you don't go for a week, then you will be wasting $15. If you only go to the gym 2 times in a month, then it is like you are paying $30 per visit. If the idea of losing a larger sum of money than you are spending on your gym membership sounds like it would motivate you, then try making a pledge that you will donate $100 dollars or more to charity if you don't go to the gym a certain number of times in a month. For example, you could pledge to go to the gym 20 times in one month or donate $100 to your local animal shelter. Or, if you think you'd be motivated if the money went to a cause you do not support, then you could pledge to give the money to that cause if you don't meet your goal.

SUMMARY:
Purchase an audiobook that you commit to listen to only at the gym. Set up a reward system. Calculate the cost of not going to the gym. Pledge money that you will go to the gym or donate to charity.
