Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Feel for circulation. Call 911. Perform CPR.

Answer: Once you find that she is not breathing, you need to check to see if her blood is still circulating. On the lifted area of the chin, place your index and middle fingers to the groove in the neck, just beneath the jaw and to the right or left of the voice box or Adam's apple. Slip your fingers into the groove there. This is the carotid artery and should provide a strong pulse if his blood is circulating well. If the pulse is weak or if there is no pulse, the person is in trouble and you need to seek medical help. If the person is not breathing or has not pulse, you need to call 911. Emergency services can help treat the victim and find the underlying cause for the collapse once they arrive. If you are alone, call 911 first, then attend to the victim. If you are with someone else, have them call 911 while you attend to the victim. If the victim is not breathing and his pulse is weak or nonexistent, you need to perform CPR. This will help get his blood pumping, his lungs working, and can help save his life as you wait for medical help. CPR is a life saving technique that can help prolong the life of the victim until professionals can treat the underlying cause of the victim's attack. Make sure you follow the American Heart Associations guidelines for CPR when you administer it to the victim. Consider taking a CPR class to be fully trained on how to properly administer this life-saving procedure. There are different methods of CPR for adults and children.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Appreciate what you already have. Spend as much time as possible with family and friends. Schedule personal time to relax. Find the positives in bad situations. Help others. Eat well and exercise. Be happy with who you are.

Answer:
A house, clean water, a loving family, friends, and food are all things that we often take for granted. So many people don't have these things so try to always remind yourself to be grateful. Be proud of your accomplishments, and be sure to thank people for their help and support. Make a list of the things you are thankful for. Let people you love know you care for them, it will both make them feel loved and strengthen your bonds. Human beings are social animals, and we feed off of each other's positive energy. Find friends and family that make you feel good and make it a priority to hang out with them. Ring them for a chat after work or go shopping on the weekend. Go to your grandma's for Sunday Lunch. Spending time with them will make you happy, and vice versa. Make sure you are taking care of yourself with some quality "me" time. You don't have to examine your life or look for problems, just find a few hours each week to be by yourself, away from work or stress. Go for a walk/hike, listen to your favorite albums, or curl up with a good book. Being happy and confident by yourself is the first step to being happier in any situation. Life isn't perfect, and there will be hardship along the road. Don't feel like you need to ignore bad situations or tough times, as they won't go away when you do. Instead, try and learn what you can from negative experiences, finding the positives whenever possible. You are still alive, you still have people that love you, and you still have yourself. Pick up the pieces, learn your lesson, and move on. There is no better feeling than positively impacting somebody else's life. Whether this is something little, like helping an elderly person cross the road or carrying their bags, or something big, like tutoring someone or volunteering on weekends, being generous is proven to improve your own happiness. Exercising releases endorphins into the body to make you feel better, and improves performance in almost every aspect of life. Eating well is also a huge factor in bettering yourself as most of the "healthy" foods contain positive nutrients (vitamins and minerals) that contribute to better overall health. Take care of your body and your mind will thank you. Love yourself and good things will happen. Remind yourself that you are worthwhile and use the power of positive thinking to bring happiness into your life. Simply feeling confident in who you are attracts similar people, and everyone, from your boss to your spouse, will take note of your energy.
