In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: People often feel depressed or powerless after they have completed a hard-fought goal. Give yourself a few weeks to rest and then make new goals. Pick something small you have wanted to change and make it happen. Several small decisions can be as powerful as one large life decision. Good changes might include commuting by walking or biking, cutting back on alcohol or cigarettes, getting up earlier, going to bed earlier, reducing time on the internet or a device, scheduling time for yourself or trying a new recipe each week. Choose something you have to train for, such as a half-marathon or a Tough Mudder. Exercise teaches mental resilience because you learn to push through pain and see its benefit. In addition, being physically powerful may make you feel mentally powerful. Working toward something is the culmination of self-empowerment, because you must feel as though your actions will help you achieve something. Try a short-term goal like exercising 5 times a week for a month or increasing your productivity at work in small increments. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/44\/Get-Toned-Step-08.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Toned-Step-08.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/44\/Get-Toned-Step-08.jpg\/aid3881661-v4-728px-Get-Toned-Step-08.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This program is designed to keep people from going into foreclosure, so a few missed payments will be okay. Your financial hardship must put your mortgage in danger. Steady employment is required for HAMP to ensure loan payments will not be missed or late. This is the goal of the HAMP program. It must be before January 2009. Most major lenders are participating in HAMP and would rather modify your mortgage than foreclose on your home.
Summary: Demonstrate financial hardship. Check to see if your mortgage is owned by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, or another qualified lender that has registered with the Department of Treasury to be eligible for HAMP. Document a stable income. Look for an interest rate and payment terms that will bring your mortgage payment down to less than 31 percent of your monthly income. Look for the origination date of your loan. Ensure that a criminal background check will show you have not been convicted of a felony in the last 10 years. Look for a modification with your current mortgage company.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Just as you would for a straightforward base oil application, comb through dry hair to work out any tangles. You hair can be just-washed or on its second or third day out from your last shampooing. Spread old towels or paper towels around to protect against oil splatter. Essential oils are too strong to apply in large amounts directly to the scalp. Even with this diluted delivery system, you may feel a strange tingling sensation in your scalp. Don't worry it's perfectly normal. It just means the essential oil is doing its work! Pour a teaspoon of your chosen carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Add 2-3 drops of your chosen essential oil. Rub your hands together to mix the oils and spread them over your palms and fingertips. If you want to make a larger batch, mix 1 tablespoon (15mL) of essential oil into .25 cups (59mL) of carrier oil. The essential oils won't be useful on the shaft and ends of your hair. You should target your scalp, follicles, and hair roots with them. Using your fingertips, massage the oils into your scalp. Remember to treat the entire scalp, not just the top of your head. Using a wide-tooth comb, comb through your hair to both detangle it. This will also spread the oil through any hairs that didn't get treated by your fingers. Split your hand down the middle so you can work with your hair in two sections, rather than tackling it all at once. Pour a teaspoon of your base/carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together again to spread it out over your palms and fingertips. If you are using castor oil, mix teaspoon of castor oil with teaspoon of a thinner, lighter oil (like grapeseed oil). Castor oil is thick and gloopy on its own. Run your fingers and palms through your hair to transfer the oil. Begin where the essential and carrier oil treatment ends, closer to your scalp. Run your hands down to the ends of your hair. Work your way all the way through one section of hair, remembering to pay attention to the hair on the back of your head. Give the second section of hair the same treatment.
Summary:
Prepare your hair and work area. Mix your carrier and essential oil. Rub the mixture into your roots and scalp. Comb through your hair again and section it into two parts. Apply the base/carrier oil to the length of your hair.
