This will help make them soft and moist, and prevent them from burning. Tortillas can also be warmed over the gas on a gas range or directly on the element of an electric stove. Allow the element on an electric stove to heat up for one to two minutes. Place one tortilla directly on the gas range or electric element. Heat it for five to 10 seconds, and then flip it over with tongs. Heat for another five to 10 seconds. Continue heating and flipping the tortilla in this way until it begins to puff a little or starts getting some char marks.

Summary: Wet your tortillas with a little water. Heat your cooktop on high heat. Heat your tortillas one at a time.

Fortunately or unfortunately, no matter what you do, there will always be uncertainties in life. The best thing you can do is remember that life would be really boring if we always knew what was going to happen. For example, if we knew when we were born who we would marry, how many kids we have, what kind of job we would do, we would lose our sense of adventure and curiosity. When a level of uncertainty appears in your life, we tend to let it take over our thoughts. This includes questions about different outcomes, and finding information about different outcomes could be helpful in allowing you to deal with the uncertainty. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to give yourself some time to dive into whatever information you can get your hands on. For example, if you or someone you love, has found out they may be suffering from a serious disease, search the internet for all the information you can find. Talk to other people who have the disease. This may result in some scary truths, but it may also help calm your anxiety that is related to the uncertainty of the diagnosis. If you are convinced that things will always work out how you want them, or that things must be a certain way, then you are bound to be disappointed. Instead, remind yourself that no matter how things work out, you will learn how to be happy if you can be open to the possibilities that lie in front of you. For example, if you are worried because you feel uncertain about whether or not you will get to go on a date with the person you like, remember that there are many other people on the planet, and just because you like someone doesn't mean they should like you back. If it turns out they don't feel the same, you will eventually meet other people you find interesting, and they might feel the same. Remind yourself that you can deal with whatever comes your way both mentally and emotionally. If you aren't feeling confident, remind yourself of a time when you overcame a really tough situation. You could also do something to reassure yourself of your emotional strength. You could, for example, do something that scares you, like going to a social gathering where you don't know anyone and making a new friend. If nothing else works, try giving yourself to an engaging activity. If you have a job, put in a few extra hours, which will force you to focus on something else for awhile. Another good way to use your time is through volunteering. You could try volunteering at an animal shelter, which will give you a good way to focus on something else, and will help a homeless animal as well. You could also use a different activity to distract yourself for a few hours, adult coloring books have become very popular recently, and many claim that they are a good way to relax and get your mind off of the day's stress and worries. Think of a time where you previously experienced anxiety related to uncertainty. How did you cope with the issue then? Did it work out in your favor, or not? Reminding yourself that you've been here before, and made it through can be a comfort that uncertainty is not the worst thing in the world. If your past experience did not work out how you wanted, then it is more proof that no matter what happens, you will find a way through it. For example, maybe you had to make a tough decision about which university to attend. How did it work out for you? Were you sorry that you chose the university that you did? Most likely not! If you felt that you had chosen the wrong one, how did you deal with it?

Summary: Understand that uncertainty is a part of life. Allow yourself some time to fixate. Accept that there are no "shoulds" in life. Reassure yourself that you are strong. Distract yourself. Reflect on past experiences.

Increasingly often, malls are welcoming spas and massage centers into their halls. Take advantage of this and get a full-body massage or facial treatment after a day of browsing through shops. Make sure you mention any medical conditions or injuries you have before booking a spa appointment. Broken skin, for instance, might disqualify you from getting a facial. If you like makeup, you can visit a makeup counter and get a free makeover, and ask for tips for your skin type. Many skincare counters are happy to provide these services in the hopes of selling new products, so don't be afraid to ask for a sample of a product you might be on the fence about. This is a great option if you are looking for a makeup product to do a specific job, such as reduce under eye circles or make your lips pop. Visit your mall's candy, chocolate, or pastry shop and indulge on a few treats. You can purchase a chocolate croissant and enjoy it right there, or you can stock up on some sweet treats to take home and eat throughout the next few weeks. Use this opportunity to try something new. You can ask to see any new candy or specials, or you can ask the clerks what their favorites are. Bring along your favorite book (or a new tome from the bookstore), and sit down to a cafeteria lunch. You can eat while you read, absorbing the sounds and smells around you while you immerse yourself in a new world. Many malls have coffee shops in them, as well, so you may even be able to cozy up in an armchair and sip a latte as you read. You can visit a department store and request to have your measurements taken. You can then use this information if ever you need to take an item to a tailor, order an item online, or complete alterations yourself. Although you can do your own measurements, doing so can be tricky, so why not enlist the help of a professional? Sizing is particularly important for bras, so if you wear a bra, use your time alone to find out what size you should actually be wearing. Malls are often used as testing grounds for new therapy machines. Hydrotherapy, therapy chairs, and therapy machines have all been known to adorn the large hallways of malls, so take a few moments to find out if you can test out a new relaxation/therapeutic technique. Some of these can be dangerous for existing medical conditions or pregnancy. Make sure you talk to the vendor or operator about any possible risk factors before you partake.

Summary: Book a spa appointment. Visit a makeup counter. Splurge on a few treats. Have lunch with a favorite book. Get your measurements taken. Try out new relaxation techniques.
