INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Perhaps a frown is not your natural expression but is instead a symptom of the stress that exists in your life. Throughout your day when you or someone else catches you frowning, assess the stressors that exist in your environment. For instance, perhaps you tend to frown when you see a certain person or are given an assignment in a certain class. Journal out these stressors to keep track of them and their frequency. After determining these stressors, identify which you can get rid of and which you can work to dissipate the effects of. Your frowning can be significantly reduced and perhaps even eradicated completely if you work to get rid of these issues. For instance, perhaps your significant other texts you throughout your day about all of the issues they are having at work, causing you stress. Perhaps you can ask them to tell you once you are off work or perhaps during your lunch break so that you don't get distracted. During the day, when you catch yourself frowning, take a break from your frustration and write down a list of things you are excited about. You can include items that are simple, like having a nice meal after work, or larger things like going on vacation in a week. This mini journaling exercise will grant you respite from whatever tension exists and allow you to focus on something that is more positive. Perhaps one of the best ways to stop frowning so much is to start laughing more! Watch more comedies and throughout your day, you will remember the funny parts and smile more. This is a great way to inject more humour into your life. Google jokes or download a joke app to your phone. Download or screenshot funny pictures or memes and revisit them throughout your day. Spend more time with your funny friends. If you don't feel that you have many things to look forward to, or even if you do, begin to make some fun plans for yourself or with friends. Consider things like taking a vacation, going to the beach for the day, or going to see a movie that you've been wanting to check out. Ask your friends if they have any suggestions. Sometimes, you might be frowning because you have been working too long or too hard on a difficult project. Remember that you cannot work at your optimal level unless you are taking proper care of yourself, which includes giving yourself space from your work at times. If you find yourself frowning often while completing a task, take a five minute break to listen to a song or to take a walk outside. You can also get a snack to revive your spirits. You might find that your frowning is eliciting comments from others. People might say things to you like "Wow, you always look so angry." These comments, especially if they happen often, can be quite annoying and rude. However, you should be prepared to respond to them respectfully yet directly. You might say something like "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I am perfectly fine. Thank you for asking." Another way to improve your mood and stop your frowning is by giving back to others. Whether it's a small act like picking up a coffee for a friend or coworker or something larger like volunteering for a day at a soup kitchen, take some time to show kindness to someone. Giving back is bound to put a smile on your face.

SUMMARY: Assess where the tension comes from. Eliminate or alleviate stress. Write down a list of things you're looking forward to. Encourage yourself to laugh. Make fun plans to look forward to. Take breaks. Address negative comments. Show kindness to others.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You'll need a bench to place your knee on. It should be sturdy enough so that it doesn't move or shake while you're exercising. If you're starting with the left arm, place your right knee on the bench at a 90-degree angle. If the bench isn't padded, you may want to put down a towel so that your knee isn't injured. You can use a disc weight but the most ideal tool is a hand-sized dumbbell. Chose a weight based on your level of strength. Start with a weight that feels easy and only increase the weight in small increments as you gain strength. Bend at the waist so your back and legs are at a roughly 90-degree angle. Try to keep your back straight during the exercise. Grip the weight in your left hand and bring your arm back so that your bicep is parallel to your back and elbow is bent at a 90-degree angle.
Summary: Use a stable bench. Position your legs. Get a hand-held weight. Position your back. Position your arms.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: On the whole, oleanders are low-maintenance plants that don't need regular pruning. However, you should aim to do a major pruning of your oleander at least once a year during late summer or early fall. This pruning will help you shape your plant and stimulate healthy growth. Pruning at this time won't interfere with the blooming of the plant, because it is after the plant has already bloomed for the season. Don't prune past October. Pruning too late can make the recently cut sections of the plant vulnerable during winter. It's essential to wear gloves when you are pruning oleander. Oleander is poisonous, and while for the most part it's only dangerous when ingested, it can cause skin irritation and inflammation when handled. That is why it's best to wear gloves when pruning or handling the plant. You may also consider wearing goggles if you have sensitive skin or eyes. Be aware that the toxin in oleander is primarily in the sap of the plant. New shoots, also called suckers or basal shoots, are offshoots of the plant that grow up out of the base of the plant. Use sharp gardening shears to snip them as close to the base as you can. You can also dig up the dirt around the shoot and tear them out of the ground to remove them. These shoots can be harmful to the overall health of the plant because the plant will start to dedicate its energy into maintaining the shoot, rather than investing all its energy in the oleander. If your oleander is too tall and its size is a problem, you will want to cut it down to size. Since pruning oleander actually encourages growth and branching, cut stems at half the desired height of the plant. For instance, if you'd like your oleander to be four feet tall, cut stems at two feet. Your oleander will continue to grow, and will reach four feet when the branches grow in. If your plant is more or less the size you'd like, you do not have to do any drastic cuts. After cutting the stems to the desired heights, decide if you want to change the overall shape of the plant. When cutting branches, make your cut with sharp gardening shears just above the leaf nodes. The nodes are the sections where three leaves come out from the branch. Cutting just above the nodes encourages flowering. Your plant may have some scraggly or overhanging branches that distract from the natural shape of the plant. Cut these branches to emphasize the natural shape of the plant. You can also reshape the oleander into more of a tree-shape by cutting off branches near the bottom of the plant, leaving the area around the base clear.

SUMMARY:
Prune in late summer or early fall. Wear gloves. Snip off new shoots at the base of the plant. Cut oleander stems to about half height you'd like for the overall plant. Shape your oleander.
