INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dip a Q-tip in nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Use the Q-tip to lightly dab at the stain or mark on the gel nail, being careful not to vigorously rub so that you don't remove the gel color. This works best if you use the nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol very soon after the stain appears on your nail. Lay a towel down on a table and place your hand on top. Spray hairspray over the nail with the stain until the nail looks wet. Use a Q-tip to remove the hairspray, which should remove the stain as well. Wash your hands well with soap and water to get the hairspray off of your hand. You shouldn't need to rub the gel nail harshly to get the marking off of it. Fill a regular-sized bowl with water and add 3-4 drops of tea tree oil to it. Place the gel nail that needs to be cleaned in the bowl, letting it soak for at least 5 minutes. Wash your hands after removing the nail from the mixture. If the stain is still there, do the same process over again once a day for several days. Sometimes a mark or stain on your gel nail just won't come out using at-home remedies, which is when it's time to turn to professionals. See if your nail salon will redo the one nail that was damaged so that your nail will look good as new. Some nail salons will do this for free while others will charge a small fee, so ask your nail salon before committing to redoing the nail.

SUMMARY: Use nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol to wipe away fresh marks. Spray your gel nail with hairspray to remove stubborn stains. Soak your nail in water and tea tree oil for a natural fix. Visit your nail salon if you can't remove the stain or mark yourself.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The first step in staying positive is to remember that no one can make you feel bad without your permission. If you choose to remain positive, you can do it. Don't allow yourself to fall into the trap of feeling like a victim of another person's bad attitude. You might have to remind yourself of this frequently when you're around negative people for any length of time. Take breaks when you need to. Stepping outside for a moment, going to the restroom, or taking a quick walk are all ways you can maintain your positive attitude. If all your attention is on the negative person, you'll be more likely to be sucked into their negativity. By paying attention to what you can do to maintain your positivity, you'll be more likely to create a distance between yourself and the other person. After all, you can't change the other person, but you can change yourself. Don't worry what the negative person might think of you if your priority is to maintain your own happiness. You won't be able to change their attitude, so don't waste your energy trying. If you're paying attention to your own thoughts, you won't allow a negative person to disregard them. The more you learn to value your own experiences, the less you're likely to worry what others think of you. Instead, focus on the opinions and ideas of positive people, people who you'd like to emulate in your own life. If you're engaged in the topics that interest you, you're unlikely to have time to pay attention to the negative people around you. Some people practice saying short mantras as a spiritual tool, while others find mantras remind them to calm down under stress. Repeating a mantra to yourself when in the presence of negative people can help you remain positive. The mantra that's meaningful to each person is highly individual. Some people chant words from sacred traditions, while others prefer simple words or phrases. An example of a mantra might be: "I am enough," or the Buddhist, "Om mani padme hum." Pairing mantra with your breath is a strong counterbalance to incoming negativity. Seek out positive people, and make sure to try to limit your time around negative people whenever you can. When you can't avoid spending time around negative people, try to make sure you're meeting in a group of people rather than just the two of you. If you're friends on social media, unfriending or unfollowing the posts of the negative person is one way to minimize your contact with the person. If there are events you have to attend with the negative person, go into them with as much positivity as you can. Take breaks as often as you need to. Talking to someone who is able to see the situation with fresh eyes might help you understand the situation better. This can help you learn new ways to stay positive, and may reveal information about the negative person's outlook that could help you. It's best if the person is impartial - that is, not someone who's a friend of the negative person, or a friend who's too close to you. Some people benefit from talking to a therapist or counselor. If you're someone who finds herself constantly surrounded by negative people, there may be something in your own life that you can address. Being aware of the things that threaten your positivity will help you recognize what's bothering you about a negative person. Notice the things that make you feel instantly bad, angry, or upset. It might be a particular comment about a sensitive topic, or it might be something that reminds you of the way your mother used to criticize you. Developing more knowledge about yourself will help you avoid falling into negativity traps. You might notice that the more you learn about why you react to these negative comments, the less they'll bother you. One of the many ways that a negative person will attempt to engage you is by talking badly about others. Remember that you wouldn't want another person talking about you that way, and avoid these conversations. If someone tries to draw you in, simply redirect the conversation. If you can't change the conversation, it's okay to leave it. You can make up an excuse to leave, or you can simply explain that you don't want to talk more about it. Don't take on another person's negative mindset. When you find yourself having to deal with someone else's negativity, increase your attention to the positive. It's not important whether or not the negative person disagrees with your point of view. It will help your own attitude to not care what the negative person thinks! Remember that positivity is contagious - your own attitude might uplift your negative friend.

SUMMARY: Remember that you are in charge of your attitude. Focus on yourself. Value your own thoughts and feelings. Use a mantra or phrase. Avoid negative people when possible. Talk to someone about the situation. Track your triggers. Avoid gossiping about others. Tune out negativity.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are new to lifting weights, have any chronic health conditions, or live a sedentary lifestyle, see a doctor before lifting. A doctor may recommend you start with cardio workouts before moving to weights. Feeling a burning sensation in your muscles is a sign that the tissue is stretching. This is a good thing for muscle growth but too much burning can be a sign of strain. When you start feeling a burn, stop working out. If your muscles feel better after a few minutes, you can continue. If the painful sensation is still there, you should rest and consider seeing a physician. It's good to add variety to your workout, even when hitting the same muscles. The tricep extension is similar to the dumbbell kick and hits similar muscles. If you're starting with your right arm, kneel with your right knee and keep your left leg bent at a 90-degree angle. Lean your body forward and lift your arm with the weight in it. Then, extend your arm straight back the same way you would for a dumbbell kick. Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions to start.

SUMMARY:
Check with your doctor. Know when to stop. Try a tricep extension.
