To make the cream cheese topping for the pancakes, add 4 ounces (115 g) of softened cream cheese and cup (75 g) of powdered sugar to a small bowl. Blend the two together until they are well mixed. After you've mixed the cream cheese and powdered sugar, gradually mix in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of milk. Stir well so the mixture is completely smooth. For the creamiest topping, use whole milk. Once you've finished mixing the cream cheese topping, transfer it to a piping bag with a round tip. Set a serving of pancakes on a plate and drizzle the topping over the pancakes before serving. If you don't have a piping bag, put the cream cheese topping in a sealable plastic bag. Squeeze out all of the air, seal it, and cut off one of the corners, so you can use the bag to drizzle the topping over the pancakes. If you'd like extra garnish for your pancakes, consider sprinkling them with chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, and powdered sugar.

Summary: Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Add the milk. Place the cream cheese topping in a piping bag and drizzle over the pancakes.

You might have the urge to find the coldest place you possibly can after leaving the steam room but you should resist that urge. You could put your body in shock or start shivering. Instead, find a cool place and let your body naturally cool down. Drink more water to restore the moisture you lost in the steam bath. Again, you might want to have the coldest shower you can after leaving the steam room but you'll only risk putting your body in a state of shock from sudden temperature changes. The shower should restore your body to its natural temperature. Start out with a warm shower and slowly reduce the temperature until it's nice and cold. Some people will take a cool shower halfway through their steam bath so that the constant changes between hot and cold temperature increases the beneficial effects of their bath. This is only recommended for people who have been taking steam baths for a long time as they know what their bodies can deal with. It's important that you take some time and chill out after the steam bath. Most people feel that once the bath is over relaxation time is over and it's time to get back to the hustle and bustle of the world. This ruins their relaxation time. Take a few minutes and allow yourself to chill out and relax. You have already ensured that you have time to fully relax and you might as well enjoy this time.

Summary: Cool down slowly with water and air. Take another shower. Relax for a few minutes.

Truly, the only way you'll see change in yourself is if you add something new into your life. To do this, you'll need to pick up new behaviors, new people, and new activities. You can't do the same things over and over and expect different results. Start out small. Join a club. Get a job outside your skill set. Start reading up on the subject. What's more, keep yourself out of old environments. You don't want to hang out with people who do the opposite of whatever it is you're trying to achieve. Condition yourself. If you're afraid of spiders, put yourself in a room with one. Day by day, inch closer to it. Eventually, you'll be sitting next to it. Even later, you'll be holding it. Constant exposure dulls the brain from feeling fear. Now take "spiders" and replace it with whatever your goal may be. You'll need some pretty intense self-awareness to stay on track. Keeping a journal will help you sort your thoughts and analyze how you've been handling this change. Write down what's been working and what hasn't to fine-tune your method. " If throwing yourself into new environments is hard, think of it this way: stop turning opportunities down. If you see a sign that the old you would deem uninteresting, give it a second look. If a friend asks you to do something you know absolutely zero about, agree. You'll be all the more better for it. That being said, make safe decisions. If someone asks you to go jump off a cliff, don't do it. Use your brain.

Summary: Throw yourself into new environments. Keep a journal. Say "yes.

If your yard is extremely bumpy and your grass is full of weeds, you may need to replace the lawn entirely. Dig up the existing turf with a shovel or kill it with a chemical herbicide or organic alternative to get rid of the grass quickly. At least 2 days before digging or excavating, you should request utility locates. In the U.S., you can call the national Digline at 811. This is a free service. Some grass may have roots up to 1 foot (30cm) deep that will need to be removed. If you are not leveling your whole yard, you do not need to remove your grass entirely. Mowing the area down will help you see the raised and lowered areas clearly as you work. It will also allow you to apply topsoil directly to the ground later on. If you notice uneven areas while mowing, mark them with a small sprinkler-marking flags. Look for uneven areas in your yard that could use leveling. Drive a stake into the 4 corners of the area that you choose. Tie string around the tops of the stakes to make the area you plan to level clear while you work. If you are leveling your entire yard, plan to finish the project over a period of several days rather than an afternoon. Don't worry about precise measurements while marking off the yard area. The area does not need to be even or perfectly rectangular. Attach the line level to the string to measure the highs and lows of your area. As you string the level along the line, watch the bubble on the line level's cover. If it is in between the 2 lines, the ground is level. If it is shifted to the right or left of either lines, the ground is uneven. Take measurements every 48 feet (1.22.4m) as you go around the perimeter of the area, marking which areas will need to be raised or lowered later on. If you notice a raised or lowered area as you level that you had not measured, use your line level to measure it before working on it. Refer to your notes any time that you can't remember which areas in your yard need to be leveled during the process. Making a to-scale drawing on graph paper can be very helpful as well. As you level your yard, you will need to continue taking precise measurements. Leave the stakes and strings up as you work. If the stakes tilt or fall over while you work, prop them back up in case you need to use your line level again later.
Summary: Remove your grass turf if you are leveling the entire yard. Mow any existing patches of lawn you plan to level. Find areas in your yard that you want to level. Use a line level to determine the highs and lows of your yard. Record areas that need raising or lowering on a piece of paper. Leave your string and stakes up while you're working.
