Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wait until the timing is right to have sex. Tell him when something feels good. Initiate sex at least some of the time. Make your sex life a priority no matter how busy your life gets. Don't ever let anyone pressure you into having sex if you don't want to.

Answer: This is different for every couple, so just see what happens naturally. If you jump right into a sexual relationship before you know each other very well, he might not see the two of you as having a serious future. On the other hand, if you both really like each other and he's showing signs of wanting a relationship, you might find yourselves heading to the bedroom sooner rather than later. You should wait to start a sexual relationship until you both feel comfortable with each other. Make sure your man feels like a stud in the bedroom by letting him know that you like what he does. Tell him when he does something that feels good or you like his attitude. Carry that mood outside of the bedroom by complimenting his manliness. Never tease or criticize him about his bedroom performance. You wouldn't want it done to you, and men tend to be especially sensitive about their sexual prowess. If you want to really get him fired up, be the first one to suggest doing the deed every so often. Try to find times when he's not expecting it. If you feel shy, you don't even have to say anything. Just take him by the hand, give him a sexy smile, and gently tug him towards the bedroom until he gets the idea. If you're in the mood, say something like "I've been thinking all day about having your hands on me." If you don't have a lot of time, ask him if he wants to have a quickie during halftime or before work. No matter how you say it, he'll be excited that you made the first move. As you settle into a relationship, all kinds of distractions start to crowd in. If you eventually have kids together, that becomes even more true. Try to set the mood ahead of time to really enhance the moment. Schedule a romantic date night, send him sexy texts during the day, or set your alarm a little earlier so you have time for a morning quickie. Sex is only fun if both parties are fully into it. If you don't want to have sex, whether it's the first time or you're in a long-term relationship, say no and stick to it. No one should ever pressure you into sex.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do 1,000 hours of standard practicum. Finish 750 hours of intensive practicum. Complete 1,500 hours of independent fieldwork.

Answer: While you are completing your master's degree, you can enroll in a standard practicum through your college or university. In this practicum, you will get college credit as well as hands-on experience in behavior analysis. A board-certified behavior analyst must oversee 7.5% of the total required practicum hours. The practicum may include conducting behavioral assessments and/or analyzing data. The intensive practicum will also be overseen by your university, and must be approved by the BACB. An intensive practicum often includes working with children in a special education setting. A board-certified behavior analyst must oversee 10% of the total required hours. You may be required to write and revise behavior-analytic treatment plans and/or oversee the implementation of treatment plans during the intensive practicum. This fieldwork will give you experience in behavior analysis and give you an idea of what a job in the field will be like. You can arrange to intern or work with a behavior analysis company to complete these hours. A board-certified behavior analyst must oversee at least 5% of the total required hours. During this fieldwork, you might oversee the implementation of behavior-analytic programs and/or design, implement, and monitor behavioral systems.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a long, thin tube to use. Draw dots on the tube. Drill Insert the skewers. Leave the rainstick to dry. Smooth the sides. Insert an endcap. Fill the tube with pebbles and other materials. Finish the rainstick. Decorate the rainstick. Admire its beauty and do a rain dance!

Answer: Either PVC or cardboard works well. If you're using PVC, smooth the entire PVC pipe using a fine sanding sponge. These will mark the places where you'll create holes to build your rainstick. Start about two inches from the end of the tube and draw dots all the way up. These dots should be spaced apart evenly (one half inch up and one inch across) and arranged helically (spiraling). the dots with a drill bit that corresponds with the size of your skewers. Drilling directly through the center of the pipe each time will produce a double-helix arrangement of holes. If you don't have a drill, you can use long nails instead. Place a long nail at each dot and use a hammer to hammer them in. Make sure the nails aren't long enough to pierce the other side. Dab the end of a wooden skewer with Gorilla glue or another sturdy glue and insert it into a hole. Cut the end so that its flush with the outside of the tube. Continue inserting the wooden skewers in the holes and cutting them to an appropriate length. This step isn't necessary if you used nails instead of skewers. You can get super glue designed for PVC pipe. In the pictures, Gorilla PVC Cement is used. Wait about an hour before finishing your rainstick. Sand off the nubs left from the skewers with a flat file or some sandpaper. Cover one end of the tube with a plastic, PVC or cardboard cap, so that the pebbles and other materials don't fall out. Pour in pebbles, dried rice, dried beans, beads, and other materials of your choice. Place your hand over the open end of the tube and tilt it to test the sound. You can add or remove material to fine-tune the sound. After the desired sound is found, glue the other cap onto the end of the rainstick. Allow time for the glue to set. Use ModPodge (or an equivalent decoupage substance) to paint the rainstick evenly. Working with a small portion at a time, place decorative tissue paper over the glue, pressing it down against the tube. After covering the pipe with decorative paper, go over it with more coats of Mod Podge until it isn't papery to the touch. Let it dry completely.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn different cognitive distortions. Identify how you overthink. Take note of how you're feeling. Challenge your automatic thoughts. Replace cognitive distortions with real facts.

Answer:
Before you can begin to address or cope with your habit of overthinking things, you'll need to learn what kinds of thoughts occur when you're engaging in this damaging behavior. Any time you find yourself indulging in painful, unpleasant, or self-doubting thoughts, you are on the road to overthinking because of cognitive distortions. Likewise if you find yourself listing reasons to not do something, or otherwise making excuses for your self-doubt. The most common cognitive distortions include: All or nothing thinking - believing things are absolute and seeing every situation as being black or white. Overgeneralization - seeing one negative event as a continuous cycle of defeat or embarrassment. Mental filtering - dwelling only on negative things (thoughts, feelings, outcomes) while ignoring all the positive elements of those situations or scenarios. Discounting the positives - believing that none of your admirable qualities or accomplishments matter. Jumping to conclusions - either assuming that other people are reacting/thinking negatively towards you without any real evidence (called "mind reading") or believing that an event will turn out badly without any evidence for this conclusion. Magnification or minimization - blowing bad things out of proportion or reducing the importance of good things. Emotional reasoning - believing that the way you feel reflects an objective truth about yourself. "Should" statements - chastising yourself or others for things that should or shouldn't have been said/done. Labeling - turning a mistake or shortcoming into a character attribute of yourself. (For example, turning the thought "I messed up" into "I'm a loser and a failure.") Personalization and blame - internalizing fault for situations or events you aren't responsible for, or blaming others for situations/events that they had no control over. There are numerous ways to overthink, many of which are caused by cognitive distortions. One form of overthinking is the thought pattern known as "catastrophizing." Catastrophizing occurs any time you automatically predict a negative outcome to some event or series of events, and jump to the conclusion that such an outcome would be devastating and unbearable. Catastrophizing is a combination of jumping to conclusions and overgeneralizing. Try to identify which cognitive distortions affect your overthinking the most. Write down the thoughts you experience, and try to label which thoughts could fall into the category of cognitive distortions. Practice learning to recognize your "overthinking" thoughts in the moment, as they arise. Simply naming them when you become aware of them may be helpful. Try silently saying the word "thinking" whenever you begin to overthink - it may help ground you and break you out of your spiraling thought pattern. It's easy to fall into "autopilot" mode during the course of your day. But if your day is filled with situations that have the potential to induce anxiety, you may be walking blindly into a situation that will cause you to overthink and catastrophize. Try mandating a personal "check in" for yourself. Assess how you're feeling as you enter different scenarios and situations that tend to evoke your pattern of overthinking. Identify any instance in which you begin to indulge patterns of overthinking. Don't judge yourself for it, just acknowledge it before you work to change it. Once you've identified an incident of overthinking or catastrophizing, you can now begin to challenge the validity of those thoughts. Challenging those thoughts by remembering that thoughts are not facts may help you break out of your pattern of overthinking. Thoughts do not always reflect reality, and they are oftentimes warped, uninformed, or simply wrong. By letting go of the infallible perception of your thoughts, you'll be more capable of considering other possibilities, or at least accepting that your overthinking isn't always right. Examine what (if any) real, objective evidence you have to support the cognitive distortions and patterns of overthinking that you're experiencing. There is a good chance that you will not be able to come up with any real, compelling evidence that the thoughts you're experiencing have any basis in truth. Try silently saying to yourself, "These are just thoughts, and they are not truth." Repeating this mantra may help you disengage from the spiraling thought patterns you're stuck in. If your patterns of overthinking are spiraling out of control, it may feel difficult to break out of that thought pattern. However, once you learn to recognize that the thoughts you're experiencing are not factual, you can then fairly easily replace that thought pattern with a more realistic one. Tell yourself, "If I accept that my assumptions and overthinking are not grounded in facts, then what are the facts in this situation?" Even if a situation ended badly, you can focus on what to do differently next time as an alternative to dwelling on what you should have said/done in the past. It won't come easily at first, but once you retrain your brain to process situations differently, it will eventually get easier. Try asking other people who are aware of the situation for their input. Sometimes asking a trusted friend, relative, or colleague whether you're overreacting or overthinking things can help you realize that there's no reason to continue thinking that way. Try positive self-talk to replace self-doubt or overthinking. The way you talk to yourself (and think about yourself) can affect how you feel. So instead of criticizing yourself or ruminating on bad thoughts, try to focus on the things you did well and continue to do well.
