INPUT ARTICLE: Article: At the end of the day, take some time to reflect when you get home. Do not immediately jump into a new task for the day, as this can leave you feeling stressed and burnt out. Instead, sit down and review your day. Think about everything you accomplished. Allow yourself to feel a sense of pride. Congratulate yourself on anything you did right during the day. For example, think something like, "I'm really glad I spoke up in that meeting today." Then, forgive yourself for anything you did wrong. Remind yourself everyone makes mistakes and embrace the fact imperfections and missteps are a normal part of life. For example, "I know there was a typo in that memo I sent out, but everyone makes mistakes." It's a good idea to have the clothes you're going to wear ready the night before. Choose the outfit you want to wear to work or school the next day. Lay it out near your bed. This way, you won't waste any time scrambling to find clothes when the morning comes around. Doing a little bit of cleaning each day helps you feel more productive at home. Remember, a clean environment helps with a productive mindset. In addition to this, regular cleaning saves you time. If you clean a bit each day, you won't have to spend hours on the weekend doing a big cleanup. If there's a chore you particularly dread, start with that. Once you feel like that's out of the way, you'll free up mental space to handle other chores. You can separate chores into different days of the week. For example, you can always do laundry on Mondays, dishes on Tuesdays, pay bills on Wednesdays, and so on. You can't be going all the time. It's important to take time each night to give yourself a break. Before bed, do something that keeps you feeling sane and grounded. Choose an activity like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or watching some television. All of this can help you feel more relaxed, preventing burnout which can decrease productivity. Again, make a to-do list. You can keep up the productivity cycle the following day. Remember to write down 3 to 5 tasks you absolutely must do the next day.

SUMMARY: Reflect on your day. Set your clothes up for the next day. Get some cleaning done. Engage in activities that help you relax. Make a to-do list for the next day before bed.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Shoulder joints are susceptible to various injuries involving numerous tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, nerves and blood vessels. But keep in mind that the degree of the shoulder pain is not always commensurate with the seriousness of the injury. Some serious injuries can generate only mild-to-moderate pain, whereas relatively minor sprains and strains can cause severe short-term pain. As such, get your doctor to examine your shoulder pain to make sure that it's stable enough to participate in yoga classes. Your doctor may take x-rays of the shoulder joint or send you for an MRI or CT scan to get a better idea of what's causing your shoulder pain. Less serious causes of shoulder pain that could possibly benefit from yoga exercises / positions include mild ligament sprains, bursitis and osteoarthritis (the wear and tear type); mild-to-moderate muscle strains and contusions (bruises). Shoulder injuries and conditions not appropriate for yoga include glenohumeral dislocations, acromioclavicular separations, inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid), advanced osteoarthritis, nerve impingement, severely torn ligaments or tendons, and any type of bone fracture or tumor. Yoga involves a number of poses or positions that put pressure on the shoulder girdle. If your shoulder pain is caused by an injury or condition that makes the shoulder joint unstable (severe arthritis, cartilage tear, nerve impingement, broken bones, dislocation), then joining a yoga class is not a good idea at all. Get your family physician, chiropractor, physiotherapist or even personal trainer at the gym to assess your shoulder for stability, which includes testing it for normal range of motion and strength. If your painful shoulder has near full range of motion and strength, then doing yoga poses that put weight on your upper body is likely okay and maybe even beneficial. Too much movement in the shoulder joint is the hallmark sign of instability and usually caused by severely stretched or torn ligaments surrounding the joint capsule. Reduced range of motion in the shoulder is often caused by arthritis, cartilage damage, excessive scar tissue or build-up of inflammation. Yoga postures require a base level of strength, flexibility, balance, body awareness, and coordination to accomplish. Doing the postures without proper alignment can increase your risk of a musculoskeletal injury. While standing, reach around the front of your body to the opposite elbow or wrist. Gently pull across your chest until you feel a stretch in the corresponding shoulder. Hold for 30 seconds and do at least 3x daily. Also while standing, reach behind your back and grab the wrist or elbow of the other arm (the one with shoulder pain). Slowly pull down until you feel a good stretch in the affected shoulder. Again, hold for 30 seconds and do at least 3x daily. Good strengthening exercises for your shoulders include rowing, swimming, push-ups and pull-ups. You can modify these exercises or use assistive devices to make them easier if you are not ready to bear weight on your shoulder. Recreational activities that can strengthen and mobilize your shoulders include tennis, bowling and archery.
Summary: Consult with your family physician. Make sure your shoulder is stable and functional. Consider light exercises and stretches before attending yoga classes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Call up your lover and arrange to meet with him ahead of time. Tell him that the two of you need to talk. Be clear that this meeting is special and different from a typical rendezvous. You might call or text and say, "Hey, can we get together on Tuesday. We need to talk about our relationship." Making a face-to-face public meeting will help keep the conversation civil and brief. Try meeting at an out of the way cafe or on a park bench during less-trafficked hours. Don't get intimate with him during the meeting or make him think things are normal. Let him know that you need to have a serious talk. If you prefer not to meet face-to-face, write a letter, schedule a phone call, or send an emailjust make sure your intentions are clearly stated. Resist the urge to apologize or attend to his feelings during the conversation. Make this about you and your needs. Boldly tell him that you will not settle for being No. 2 anymore and that you want to end things. Your lover might attempt to dissuade you against ending the affair. He might toss out promises that he will leave his spouse and be with you. Don't fall for it. You have made your decision, so stand firm. Before you part ways, be clear about your expectations moving forward. It's best to cut ties completely, so tell him that you do not want to see or hear from him again. Say, "George, I'd like you to delete my phone number, email address, and home address. Don't call me or drop by my apartment. Please respect my choice." You can also add, "I will not answer my phone or my door."

SUMMARY:
Make plans to meet in advance. Meet in public, if possible. Focus on your needs, not his. Be firm. Set boundaries for the future.
