Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Replace bad habits with good ones. Develop a keystone habit. Accept support. Avoid temptation.

Answer: Many people find it difficult to kick a long-term habit because the body and brain become accustomed to engaging in that activity. That's why many former smokers continue to have oral fixations (like chewing on a toothpick) long after they quit. Changing yourself for the better is a two-part process. Getting rid of a bad habit comes first, but staying away from that habit in the future requires you to find a new habit to replace it. The best new habit to develop is what experts call a keystone habit. This is the one habit that breaks all the other undesirable patterns in your life. For example, if you're trying to lose weight, developing a daily exercise regimen can motivate you to eat better, be more productive, and think more positively about yourself. Keystone habits give you a sense of satisfaction from a series of small, minor victories. It should be something that gives you immediate results, and it should be manageable no matter what level of change you're at. Good keystone habits rely on a cue and a subsequent reward in order to be successful long term. For example, if you are trying to check your email less often, your cue might be to start working for an uninterrupted length of time beginning at the top of the hour, and if you succeed you can allow yourself to check your email (reward). Some people may find that self-motivation is sufficient, and ultimately the goal is to be able to keep yourself motivated and committed. But as stressful situations arise, you might find that your own motivation is not enough to keep you from reverting back to bad habits. One way to help ensure success on your road to transformation is to let your friends/relatives know that you're trying to break a bad habit, and ask them for their support. Accepting support doesn't just mean learning to receive the support of others. It also means learning to support yourself. It may be very difficult for you to believe in yourself, but working to do so everyday will help you on the road to making permanent changes. Learn to celebrate small victories. If you reach a milestone on the way to accomplishing your larger goals, take the time to feel good about your progress. Reward yourself with some kind of healthy treat, but don't use your success as an excuse to indulge in whatever bad habit you're in the process of breaking. Many bad habits become a recurring issue when you are faced with temptation. No matter how strong your will and your commitment to change, being around whatever you used to engage in could cause you to revert back to that habit. No matter how far along in your attempt to change, it's best to completely avoid any temptations that could cause you to falter. If you're trying to continue eating healthy, don't keep fatty junk food in your house. If you're trying to stay away from cigarettes, don't keep a pack lying around your apartment. Purge yourself of anything that could cause you to pick up your old habit again, and stay away from situations that might tempt you.

Answer: For example, your doctor tells you that you have cancer. Confirm with another physician. The internet is packed with information. Go to discussion groups about your medical issue. Go to websites. Print out journals. Dig deep. Why be in the dark about what's happening with your body? This is your life! Moreover, this isn't about self-care at home, it's about self-awareness that you can then bring to the attention of your health professionals caring for youthey're busy people and don't have the time to do deep internet research but you probably do. Print the items off and take them in to your doctor and others. This is why you pay the doctor. If he or she is worth anything, he or she will be happy to answer your questions and give you ways to find out more information. Some doctors use a sliding-scale fee system. They will charge more if you ask more questions. Find out the cost before your consultation. If your doctor gets offended or displays a overly-negative reaction towards your questions, find another doctor. You need a doctor in whom you can place your confidence.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase fabric and elastic to create the mane. Measure the head of the person wearing the lion costume. Cut the elastic 1 inch shorter than the distance around the head. Cover the elastic in yellow fleece. Cut the remaining yellow, gold, and brown fleece into strips. Sew or glue the strips to the elastic covered headband. Sew the ends of the yellow band together. Wrap the headband around the head from the chin to the top of the head.

Answer: Visit your local fabric store to obtain yellow, gold, and brown colored fleece fabric. Get yard of each color of fleece. Buy a 1-yard piece of 1" elastic. Measure around the person's head from top to bottom. You want to measure under the chin, around the face, and over the crown of the person's head. Make the elastic shorter than the distance around the head so it will fit snugly when stretched around the head. Cut a strip of fabric 2 inches wide. Place the elastic inside the fleece and sew the long edge of the fleece fabric together with the elastic inside. Cut another 2 1/2 inch strip of fleece to use for the lion's tail. Create fringe to make the lion's mane with strips of fabric. Cut the strips to be 3-6 inches long and inch wide. Use fabric glue or a simple hand stitch to attach the fringe strips to the yellow band with the elastic. Alternate colors and stack multiple strips to create a colorful look. Finish the headband by connecting the two ends of the elastic together to form a circle. Make sure to firmly connect the ends of the elastic together so the stretching does not rip the seam. Place the lion's mane around your face by stretching the elastic under your chin and over the top of your head.

Tackle tough stains and grime with undiluted vinegar. Put vinegar and water in a bowl to clean microwaves and ovens. Mix vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water to create a glass cleaner.

Answer:
Use distilled white vinegar and, if possible, distilled or filtered water. If you don't have those on hand, tap water will work fine. Put them in an empty spray bottle, attach the nozzle and shake briefly to combine them. Spray this mixture on kitchen and bathroom countertops, stovetops, backsplashes, toilet surfaces, tile, flooring and almost any smooth surface you wish. Wipe it up with a paper towel or sponge. Vinegar and water solutions can help eliminate dirt, soap scum, sticky spills and hard water. Mix one part lemon juice, one part white vinegar and two parts water in a spray bottle. Replace the nozzle and give it a shake. Spray the solution on smooth surfaces you want to disinfect, such as in the kitchen or bathroom. This mixture can typically eliminate 99% of bacteria from surfaces, making it ideal for sanitization. If the vinegar and water solution isn't getting rid of a carpet stain, add a teaspoon of mild dish soap to the spray bottle. Give it a shake, then spray it directly onto the stain. Allow it to soak for about two minutes, then gently blot at the spill with a clean towel or sponge. To clean heavy soap scum and mineral deposits, skip the water and pour white distilled vinegar into a spray bottle, straight from the jug. Replace the nozzle. Spray the solution onto the affected area, scrub with a brush or sponge and rinse with water. Use undiluted solutions for soap scum on shower walls and hard water deposits. For toilets, pour straight vinegar right into the bowl. Try disinfecting cutting boards with undiluted vinegar. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, then pour them into a heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl in your microwave or conventional oven. Microwave or heat the solution long enough to bring it to a boil. Let it cool down a bit before you open the door. Odors will be eliminated and splattered food will be loosened and easy to wipe away. Measure out 1 cup (240 mL) of rubbing alcohol, 1 cup (240 mL) of water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Pour them into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto glass, mirrors, ceramic tiles and chrome finishes, then wipe with a paper towel or microfiber cloth. This mixture is effective for cleaning and polishing glass surfaces. For a pleasant citrus scent, add one or two drops of orange essential oil to the mixture.
