INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If a person rushes to respond or share their own opinions, they stand in the way of empathy. Hold mock conversations in which one person talks while the other person hears them out completely. Encourage the listener to turn to face the speaker and make eye contact. The listener should be trying their best to understand what the other person is saying, not simply listening to reply. Those learning empathy need feedback to determine if they understand others' messages during communication. Saying what the person said back to them in a different way helps them double-check that they got the right message. Paraphrasing may sound like, "From what I'm hearing, you seem very shocked and upset about the results of your doctor's exam. Is that right?" If the message was not received correctly, the speaker can try to relay it again so that the listener understands. Paraphrasing can also be taught in practice situations to help them feel confident doing it in real-life conversations. Identifying what someone is feeling can be challenging in the moment. To build the skill, start at the end: with the emotion you think the person felt. Then, reflect back and analyze other details, like facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and the actual words that were said. For instance, if a wife guessed that her husband was angry, she might work backwards and recall that his arms were crossed, he was pacing, he had a sneer on his face, and his speech was overly sarcastic. Noting these details can help her read future nonverbal and verbal cues more easily. Help adults learn empathy by breaking down different scenarios and reflecting on the experiences of the people involved. This may work best by using scenes from popular movies or TV shows. For instance, a scene from a movie may portray two friends fighting. Have two people role-play the scene and discuss what each character may have been thinking and feeling, and what cues help you figure that out. Have everyone start by spending 5 or 10 minutes breathing deeply and generating good vibes about themselves. This might include silently repeating affirmations, like "I am worthy," or simply envisioning giving oneself a warm hug. In subsequent meditation sessions, they can start focusing on a friend or family member. Radiate positive thoughts towards that one person for the full exercisejust for about 10 minutes. After focusing on loved ones for a few sessions, they can then progress to radiating good vibes to a virtual stranger, such as the nice barista at Starbucks or someone they heard about on the news. Loving-kindness helps connect with the deeper human side of oneself and others, increasing a person's ability to feel empathy.

SUMMARY: Practice listening without interrupting. Paraphrase what others say to verify understanding. Work backwards to read others' nonverbal and verbal cues. Imagine stepping into the shoes of others. Practice loving-kindness meditation.

Make sure your moisturiser is oil-free, and if your skin still feels moisturised and hydrated before morning break, then skip this step. ) while you're in the toilets. If you still like to wear lipstick and gloss as well, then apply a good layer of the balm before, and then use your lipstick/gloss/colour on top. Drinking water re-hydrates the skin from the inside, and even if you already have a drink with you, some extra liquid won't do any harm. A large drink will last you throughout the day. Water-based fruit and veg are recommended to help dry skin, as well as fruit and veg rich in antioxidants and vitamin A, B, and C. A couple of ideas are to bring in a vegetable soup, and a fruit salad for dessert, or maybe a healthy salad, a couple of pieces of fruit and some yogurt? You may want to top up on some moisturiser or sunscreen.

SUMMARY: Nip to the toilets and apply another thin layer of the moisturiser you used in the morning at school morning break time or at your cover break. Take the time to apply a good lip balm or butter (The Body Shop do great ones! Buy a big bottle of water at this time. Grab another drink at midday (as you ought to drink at least 2 litres of water each day), and get a healthy lunch. Pop into the toilets again before you go back to work/school/jobs etc after lunch. Eat healthily, drink loads, and keep on top of your dry skin by moisturising all the time during the rest of the day.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To being the cleaning process, add enough water to your scorched pan to cover the bottom. The amount of water necessary depends on the size of your pan, but 1 cup is a good starting point. If all of the scorched marks aren't covered, add water until they are. Once you have enough water in the pan, it's time to mix in some vinegar. Pour 1 cup into the water, and gently swirl the pan's contents to combine the water and vinegar. Place the pan on the stove, and turn the heat up to high to bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for approximately 10 minutes. The amount of vinegar that you add to the pan will depend on the amount of water that you used. Keep the ratio 1 part water to 1 part vinegar. When the vinegar and water mixture is finished boiling, remove it from the stove. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of baking soda into the pan. The baking soda will react with the vinegar, causing fizzing and bubbling that will help loosen the scorched film and debris. The pan will be hot when you add the baking soda, so be careful not to touch it and burn yourself. Allow the baking soda and vinegar to fizz for as long as it takes for the pan to cool. You can also use cream of tartar in place of baking soda to clean a scorched pan. However, you should mix 1 tablespoon of the cream of tartar with 1 cup of water and omit the vinegar before adding it in the pan. While baking soda can work well on a stainless steel pan, you shouldn't use it or any other alkaline-based cleaning product on anodized aluminum cookware. Once you're sure that the pan is cool, discard the water, vinegar, and baking soda mixture, and clean the pan with hot, soapy water. Use a sponge with plastic netting or brush to scrub at the bottom of pan, and remove the scorched debris. While it may help to use a sponge with netting or a scrub brush while you're washing the pan, the baking soda and boiling water should have sufficiently loosened the film and debris so it's easy to remove. If there are any stubborn scorch marks that won't scrub free, mix some baking soda with a few drops of water to form a paste. Apply it to the problem spots and allow it to sit for approximately 10 to 15 minutes before cleaning the pan as usual. For extremely stubborn cases, you may need to repeat the entire process one or more times.

SUMMARY:
Fill the pan with water. Add vinegar to the water and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the stove and add baking soda. Scrub the pan clean.
