If you are too nervous to drive across town, make a shorter trip -- even if it is just around the block. Do not get yourself so worked up that driving becomes a bigger deal than it is. Unless you are overwhelmed with anxiety and terrified to get into a car, make yourself drive. Remember, even taking a small step still counts as practice. Push your comfort zone a little at a time. For example, you may want to start by sitting in a parked car, getting used to all the controls, before you ever put the key in the ignition. Once you are comfortable doing that, you may want to start the car, shift the car into drive, and then back into park. Slowly build on your comfort level. Figure out if your fear of driving is generalized or specific to one aspect of driving. If it is the latter, practice mastering the feared skill. For example, you may be terrified to parallel park. You may wish to find an empty street where you can practice maneuvering between safety cones, and when you have mastered that, perhaps you can try parking between two friends' cars. Get used to driving in quiet areas before practicing in traffic. Find quiet side streets or an empty parking lot, and get used to starting, stopping, signaling, turning, reversing, and so on. Learn to control your vehicle and to find the controls someplace where you don't have to worry about traffic or other drivers. Work up to busier roads and longer drives as you start to feel comfortable operating the car. You may wish to practice driving only during the day at first. You will feel more confident simply because you are able to see better. Driving with someone you trust may help you to feel at ease in the car. If anything bad should happen, this person will be there to assist and advise you, and even to take over if traffic or conditions gets to be too much for your experience or confidence level. Make sure you are driving with a person who is naturally calming to you. For example, you probably want a person who will calmly tell you, "Oops, looks like we missed the turn back there. How about you pull into this parking lot and turn around?" instead of shouting, "That's where we needed to turn!" Let your friend or family member know how they can be supportive to you in the car. Maybe you would like them to tell you about their day to help keep your mind calm. Or maybe you would prefer quiet to concentrate.

If your soup or stew is too salty, adding raw potato is a good option. Slice the potato into small chunks (to expose a good bit of surface area) and then stir them in. The potato acts like a salt sponge, absorbing some of the salt right out of your dish. Cook the potato in the dish for several minutes, and then discard it. Be cautious with this method since potatoes can also absorb the other flavors, running the risk of producing a less tasty dish. In this case, you can taste the dish afterwards, and adjust any seasonings that might have been absorbed along with the salt. Remember to add seasonings in very small amounts and taste the dish after each addition. If your dish is a soup, you can add starches such as rice or noodles for them to absorb the salt. If it's a stew, puree some rice and add it as a thickenerit will help even out the salt. You can try squeezing some lemon juice or adding some vinegar to your dish in addition to a pinch of sugar; the increased acidity and sweetness will help mask the overly salty taste. The idea is to distract the taster from the salt by adding opposing flavors. Making the dish creamy by adding cream, coconut milk or mashed avocado can temper the salty taste. Think about tomato sauce with heavy cream or salty tacos with sour cream.
