Problem: Article: Accepting yourself often requires a mental attitude adjustment. Try to be slower to criticize yourself or see yourself as inferior to others. Focus on accepting and appreciating who you are as a unique individual. This will lead to authentic behaviors in line with your personality. This includes accepting your flaws. Being comfortable with yourself requires you to accept that you are not perfect, and means that you should embrace your quirks and the distinct parts of your personality. For example, it's fine if you have hobbies or interests that differ from those of your friends. Explore the things that interest you, and over time, you'll meet other people who share the same passions. Every person has valid thoughts and ideas, and is gifted and intelligent in unique ways. It is hard to act in a way that is genuine to your personality if you doubt yourself or lack confidence in yourself. People who lack self-esteem often try to act like people they perceive to be confident, or preen and act as if they're overly confident. This is a key sign of inauthenticity. For example, people with poor self-esteem may dress in the same way that more popular people do, or listen to the same type of music as people that they think are popular. Instead of this, follow your own interests, whether or not other people share them. If you have some emotional baggage, give yourself the time to think about it and move on if possible. Talk to a therapist or a counselor if necessary. Authentic people are in touch with their moral compass and their personal set of beliefs. This includes religious beliefs, moral beliefs, and beliefs of any other kind. These beliefs should be evident in your daily behaviors. Many people unthinkingly adopt a partner's, parent's or friend's beliefs without figuring out if they are right for you. For example, if you say that all people should be treated equally and yet show obvious disdain for certain types of people, you will not be perceived as authentic. Or, if friends are drinking alcohol or eating types of food which you believe are unethical to eat, ask them to stop or excuse yourself from the situation. Find your values by identifying what makes you happy and when you were the proudest. Figure out when you feel satisfied. There is a great deal of authenticity to be found in growing yourself and pursuing interests that fulfill you as a person. This can be done through classes, volunteering or hobbies. In contrast, inauthentic people often neglect the things that interest them in favor of pursuing whatever they believe to be popular or socially required of them.
Summary: Accept yourself for who you are. Support your self-esteem. Act on your personal beliefs and values. Put time into personal growth.

Problem: Article: After the bread has been sitting for 90 minutes, place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Break the dough into three even portions. Cover the portions of bread with a clean paper towel. Keep them in an area where they will not be disturbed while they spend an additional 10 to 15 minutes rising. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface using your hands. Roll the pieces into cylinder shapes one at a time. The shapes should be about 11 by 6 inches (28 by 15 centimeters). Take one of the cylinder pieces you made. Roll the short ends of the cylinder inward until they touch. This will form a small, rectangular shape that has a seam in the middle where the end pieces of your dough meet. With the seam side facing upward, roll this small rectangle into another, tighter cylinder. Repeat this process with the other two cylinders. Grease a 9-inch (23 centimeter) loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set each piece of dough in the tray. Keep them evenly spaced. They should be close together but not touching. There should be just enough space in your pan for them all to fit neatly. The dough will blend together during the baking process, creating a fluffy, aerated bread. Cover the pan in plastic wrap. Set the dough in a room temperature space and let it rise for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The dough should just be rising over the baking pan when it's done. Place your bread in a preheated oven and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes. When done, the bread should be golden brown. Start by baking the bread for 35 minutes and, if it's not done, bake it for two or three more minutes. Continue increasing the baking time in two or three minute intervals until your bread is done. Remove the bread from the oven and set it on a cooling rack. Cool the bread for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Then, set it on a wire rack and let it cool for an additional hour before cutting.
Summary:
Break the bread into three pieces. Let the pieces rise for 10 to 15 minutes. Roll the pieces into cylinders. Shape each cylinder. Arrange your dough in a baking pan. Let the dough rise more. Bake your bread at 375F (191C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Let your bread cool.
