In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Truly loving yourself can take a lifetime, so why not start today? Be comfortable with the way you look, smell, sound, act, and react to situations. Work on finding a happiness from within and letting it radiate out. If you don't love yourself, then it won't matter how many other people do. It's just like thinking that you're beautiful you have to feel it first before it matters if anyone else does. Give yourself enough "me time" to learn to really love the person you are, to do the things that matter to you, and to quiet your mind so you can focus on what's right in front of you. If you're feeling really overwhelmed by the world, give yourself a day of silence to avoid television, the Internet, your phone, or any other distractions. Focus on just inhabiting your own mind and body. Feeling different from other people is normal. What's difficult is accepting and embracing your differences and standing by who you are. Start by getting to really know yourself; what you like doing, what makes you feel happy, and what sets you apart from other people. Then work on accepting that other people may not always accept or understand those things, and that is okay. Think of your unique qualities as some of your most important features. They are the things that make you who you are, and help you stand out as an individual. Make sure to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep, to shower daily, and to pay attention to hygiene. You may not feel comfortable in your own skin because you're always feeling tired or unhappy with the way you feel. Taking the time to maintain your health can help you fix that. Take long baths. Pamper yourself. Make sure to eat three balanced meals a day. All of this will make you feel happier to be who you are, and happier about sharing that with the world. Taking care of your body doesn't mean putting on makeup and looking like a model when you leave the house. It just means giving your body the time and effort it deserves. A big part of embracing who you are and feeling comfortable in your own skin is being around people who support you and make you feel good about yourself. Dump those toxic friends who are always bringing you down, being negative, and ignoring you in favor of their own narcissism. Work on hanging out with the people who compliment you, care about how you feel, and treat you with care and love. People who aren't comfortable in their own skin walk in to a room like they don't belong there and tend to keep a low profile. The next time you walk into a room, keep your head high, smile, and sit in a chair like it's your favorite comfy chair at home. Though you shouldn't kick your feet up at a new person's home, treat the place like your own living room, and be comfortable inhabiting a new space. People will be able to tell that you feel like you belong there, and like you've earned your place there. If you project confidence in a new situation, you'll be much more likely to feel it. Some ways to show confidence in your body language include: Holding your head high Standing or sit tall with good posture Keeping your shoulders back and your chest out Avoiding fidgeting or tapping Remaining open by not crossing your arms across your chest
Summary: Learn to love yourself. Embrace your unique qualities. Take care of your body. Spend time with people who make you feel good. Look confident to feel confident.

Problem: Article: Pour 2 gallons (3.78 l) of warm water in a 5-gallon (18.92 l) bucket. Add 2 cups (400 g) of powdered oxygen bleach and mix the solution together using the sponge or brush that you'll be using to scrub down your deck. Continue to mix the solution until the components are well incorporated. Remember to wear water-proof gloves, boots, and possibly rain pants when working with bleach. Mix the solution outside or in a well-ventilated area. If you don't have a deck brush, you can use a large porous sponge to scrub down the surface of your deck instead. Liberally saturate the surface of the deck with the solution, then start scrubbing the deck until the solution starts to lather. Synthetic deck brushes can be purchased at most hardware stores and are designed specifically to wash a deck. Be careful when walking on your deck because the bleach solution will make it slippery. Letting the suds sit on the deck will allow the oxygen bleach to absorb the dirt and algae on your deck. It's important that you don't let the solution thoroughly dry on the deck, or it can leave a film on the surface. Use the hose to do a final rinse down of your deck. If you don't have a hose, you can get buckets of water from an indoor faucet and use that to rinse down the deck. Make sure that all of the bleach solution is rinsed away before letting your deck air dry.
Summary:
Mix warm water and powdered oxygen bleach into a bucket. Scrub down your deck with a synthetic brush or sponge. Let the suds sit on the deck for 5 minutes. Rinse down your deck.
