Summarize the following:
If you plan on adding and liquid-y extras, such as chocolate syrup, do so now. Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Cover the container with a lid or a sheet of plastic wrap to protect it from getting any ice crystals. For fluffier ice cream, stir the mixture every hour or so. The ice cream will last for about 2 weeks in the freezer.

summary: Add the milk, heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar to a blender and blend. Pour the mixture into a freezer safe container. Freeze the mixture for 6 to 8 hours. Serve the ice cream with an ice cream scoop and freeze any leftovers.

Set the heat to medium high, and coat the surface with cooking spray. Try to use a thicker toast slices; they will hold up a lot better. Many people also find that stale, day-old toast yields crisper and sturdier French toast sticks. For a richer French toast stick, use heavy cream instead. You can also use part milk and part heavy cream. You will be dipping the bread sticks into this mixture first. If you can't have dairy, try coconut milk or almond milk. If you are vegan, use 1 cup (240 milliliters) of unsweetened almond milk and 1 tablespoon of flax meal (ground flax seeds). You will be dipping the bread sticks into this mixture next. This will give the French toast sticks that crunchy outside. Turn it around so that it gets evenly coated. Let any excess egg mixture drip off before you move on. Don't dip the others in yet. You will be dipping and putting the slices one by one into the frying pan. If you don't like to get dirty, you can spear the bread stick onto a fork instead. Flip and toss the stick around in the sugar mixture until all four sides are coated. Make sure that you leave a little space between each stick. If your pan or griddle is very small, you may only be able to fit 3 to 4 sticks. If you have a larger pan or griddle, you may be able to fit more. Cook them for another 2 to 3 minutes. You can use a spatula or a fork to flip them over. You can keep the bread sticks you just made on a plate. You can also put them on a baking sheet, and keep them inside a warm oven (turned to the lowest temperature) to keep them warm until you are ready to eat them. If you are keeping the finished bread sticks in the oven, leave them there for no more than 30 minutes. Continue until you have cooked the desired number of sticks. Coat with powdered sugar if desired. You can serve them as they are now, or you can sprinkle some icing/confectioner's sugar over them. You can also pour some maple syrup into a small cup, and dip the sticks into the syrup before you eat them.

summary: Prepare your pan or griddle. Cut each slice of bread into thirds and set aside. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon using a fork. Dip the first bread stick into the egg mixture. Dip the egg-coated stick into cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the bread stick onto the frying pan, then repeat the dipping process for the rest of the sticks until you fill the pan. Cook the sticks for 2 to 3 minutes before flipping them over. Remove the French toast sticks from heat, and continue dipping and frying the rest until you have none left. Take the sticks off the heat and place them on a plate. Serve the French toast sticks with your choice of topping.

Instead of waiting around until you feel like taking a shower, talk yourself into making the resolution that you're going to do it no matter what, and stick to it. Be your own coach. Give yourself encouraging advice and offer affirmation by making inspiring and affirming statements. You'll start feeling more capable as soon as you shift your attitude from "I don't want to" to "I can do this." Most of the time when people have a hard time making themselves do something, it's because they dread the effort or they're "not in the mood." Understand that there will always be things you don't feel like doing in life that have to be done nonetheless. Saying your own name can make you feel more empowered by allowing you to step outside of yourself momentarily and creating a sense of personal accountability. Put your pride on the line and start looking at overcoming your reluctance to shower as a way to prove yourself. If you can't even bathe yourself, what else won't you be able to do? It may sound silly, but this is an opportunity for personal growth. Show yourself that you can do what you set your mind to and you'll feel more in control of other areas of your life as a result. Start making a list of daily goals to accomplish and put showering near the top. You'll gain a little more willpower and self-control every time you shower when you don't feel like it. Once you manage to make yourself shower, do it again the next day at the same time, then the next day, then the next and so on. Don't let yourself skip a day or beat around the bush until it's too late. After a week or so, your inertia will start to disappear and showering will become just another part of your normal routine. Set a regular bathing schedule for yourself based on your own needs and preferences. Some people might have to shower everyday, whereas others can get by with only a few showers a week, or even once a week. Pick days and times that will make it easier for you to stick to your schedule. When showering becomes a habit, you'll start to feel like something's missing if you don't take one.
summary: Give yourself a pep talk. Think of it as a challenge. Get in the habit.
