Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Soothe yourself in different ways. Keep your hands busy. Get professional help. Be patient.

Answer: Whether thumbsucking is a bad habit or it's something you use to soothe yourself, find ways to replace the thumbsucking. Your choice in replacement behaviors may differ depending on what causes you to thumbsuck. Especially if you suck your thumb to cope with stress or anxiety, it's important to find another useful outlet that also soothes you. If you feel stressed or anxious, try taking some deep breaths to help your mind and body feel calm. Engage in a daily relaxation practice (like meditation or yoga) to help you cope with daily stressors. If you suck your thumb, then you may also have other habits that you would like to change. Work on finding good self-soothing habits to replace the ones you no longer want to have. You may tend to fidget or move as a way to cope with stress or anxiety. If keeping your hands busy is a way to calm down, try getting a stress ball or other "fidget toy" to fulfill this purpose. This will help you focus on something tactile without having to put it in your mouth. Some adults suck their thumb because of serious anxiety problems, and they are not able to end their habit until they address its root cause. If you suspect this is the case for you, seek the services of a counselor. They can help you cope with stress and anxiety in a beneficial and productive way. Find a therapist by calling your local mental health clinic or your insurance provider. You can also ask for a recommendation from a physician or friend. Habits don't tend to shift overnight. Be patient with yourself and know that your experience won't likely be easy. If you slip up, forgive yourself without beating yourself up. Be willing to move forward after setbacks and continue moving toward your goal.If you slip up, identify what caused you to slip up so you can prevent the situation in the future. For example, if you felt stressed, find new ways to handle your stress. If you felt bored, have activities that you can access or focus on your to-do list.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a list. Set your intentions. Schedule time to be grateful. Reflect on your emotions. Savor the feeling.

Answer: A great way to keep track of the things you are thankful for is to write them down. Starting a journal or a list can be good method to get you thinking about and focused on all the good in your life. You can also look back at any time to remember all the good things you were thankful for. Try listing the things you are thankful for or writing a daily list to help you practice gratitude. A journal full of things you have been thankful for will be a great visual reminder of all the good in your life. Feel free to write down anything you are thankful for. Try to write at least three things you are thankful for each day. Being grateful will take work and dedication to make it a habit. The world isn't always a perfect or happy place and life can be quite challenging at times. You might also simply be preoccupied with work or family responsibilities and lose focus on your practice. However, setting your intention to regularly practice gratitude will make it easier for you to see the good in any situation. Try setting your intention to focus on the good in your life when you wake up in the morning. Regularly expressing gratitude is like trying to make any other behavior a habit and will require your time and practice. Realize that there is no "end goal" to reach. Simply focus on feeling grateful whenever you can or whenever you think of it. The more you practice gratitude, the easier it will become. Picking a time to focus on the things you are thankful for can help you make your practice a habit. Having a schedule can help keep you on track, allowing you to remember your practice even if your day was hectic or you simply forgot. Try to pick a time of day that works best for you to focus on the things that you're feeling grateful for. You can try thinking about the things you're grateful for every morning. Try taking a break around lunch and focus on what you've enjoyed during the morning. Relax at night and think about all the great things that happened during the day. Taking a look at how you feel throughout the day will help you keep your focus on being grateful. There may be moments when you aren't feeling grateful at all and taking note of those moments will help you shift your focus. Try to keep an eye on your feelings, thoughts and emotions to help you stay focused on practicing gratitude. If you aren't feeling grateful, try to think of a few things that you are thankful for. Getting up, stretching and moving around a bit can all help you change your focus and get back to feeling thankful. Try to remember a moment that caused you to feel extremely grateful and allow that feeling to return. Whenever you notice yourself feeling grateful, try sink into that feeling and really enjoy it. Let the feeling of gratitude wash over you and allow yourself to realize just how fortunate you are in that moment. Try to focus on the feeling so that you can return to it whenever you're thinking about the things you're thankful for. Let yourself enjoy the feeling of gratitude whenever it comes up. Don't be in a hurry or try to extend the moment of gratitude. Instead, allow yourself to enjoy the feeling as long as it naturally lasts.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Begin with relaxing breathing exercises. Practice mindfulness techniques while lying in bed. Try progressive muscle relaxation. Try visualizing a relaxing scene. Listen to ambient sounds. Don't fight yourself.

Answer:
Concentrate on your breathing and how it feels in your body. If you find your mind wandering, acknowledge it and bring your attention back to your breathing. Close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose for four to five seconds. Hold your breath for a comfortable amount of time (try to count to "7"). Exhale purposefully, controlling the rate of exhalation instead of letting all the air just rush out of your lungs. Try to exhale for a count of "8". Repeat this sequence three times. Studies have shown that learning mindfulness meditation can significantly improve the quality of your sleep. Mindfulness focuses on accepting your experiences in the moment without judgment. These techniques can be especially helpful when you find your mind wandering. Lie in bed. Prepare with your breathing exercises. Continue breathing deeply as you proceed. Check in with your thoughts. Just see what's going on in your mind. Don't try to "stop" thinking or resist your thoughts in any way. Accept their flow. Check in with your body. Focus your attention on where your body makes contact with the bed. Is your weight distributed evenly? Are there any places where you feel discomfort? Check in with your senses. What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you feel? Determine whether these sensory experiences are things you can change or things that are out of your control. If you can't control the noise, acknowledge this. Return your attention to your body. Do a "scan" from head to toe. Observe any areas where you feel discomfort, tension, or tightness. When you notice tension, remind yourself that you will soon be asleep, and that rest will relax you. Also notice any areas where you feel pleasant or comfortable. Go through your thoughts, starting at the beginning of your day. Take about three minutes to review your day in a focused way. Allow yourself to "replay" the events, thoughts, and feelings of the day, but don't get wrapped up in them. Acknowledge that each happened and then move to the next thought or event. Finally, "switch off" your body. Go through your body from toes to head. Focus your attention on one part of your body, such as your feet, and tell yourself "time for sleep" or "switch off." Proceed up through your body until you reach your face. Once you have told your whole body to rest, relax and drift off. Dr. Deepak Chopra has a video tutorial for a mindful sleep meditation. The UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center has a downloadable MP3 "sleep scan" meditation. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) helps you relax your body by intentionally tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups throughout your body. It can be very helpful in teaching your body to completely relax before sleep. Lie down and close your eyes. Begin with your feet. Tense the muscles in your feet by curling your toes downward and clenching as hard as you can for about 5 seconds. Then, exhale as you release the tension. Allow yourself to feel the difference for about 15 seconds, then move to the next muscle group. Move up to your calves. Tighten your calf muscle by sticking out your heels and pulling your toes up towards your face. Hold this position as tight as you can for about 5 seconds. Exhale as you release the tension. Enjoy the relaxation for 15 seconds, then move on again. Repeat the tensing and releasing process through the rest of the muscle groups: leg, hand, arm, buttocks, stomach, chest, neck and shoulders, mouth, eyes, and forehead. Dartmouth and Brigham Young University offer downloadable PMR audio exercises on their websites. You can also find helpful videos on YouTube. Counting sheep is an old standby, by it's generally too "active" and requires too much concentration to put you to sleep. Instead, try picturing a relaxing scene that you find pleasant and soothing. Studies have shown that this type of "imagery distraction" helps you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Begin by closing your eyes and imagining yourself in a restful, calming place. This can be anywhere: a waterfall, a beach, the woods, anywhere where you have felt peaceful and relaxed. "Color in" as many sensory details as you can. What does the place look like? What are the various sounds and smells? What can you hear? What are the textures and touch senses you feel? Imagine yourself in your restful place. You don't have to "do" anything there, but if you do choose an activity, go for something steady and rhythmic that mimics your breathing, such as rocking in a hammock, rowing a boat, or walking on a path. Your brain processes sounds even when you're asleep. Playing ambient sounds or "white noise," such as a waterfall or raindrops, can help your brain "tune out" other background noises. Some people do better with "pink noise," a combination of sounds that increase and decrease frequency. Avoid sounds with words or other information that your brain may try to process. Don't listen to music with words or have the TV on when you're trying to sleep. Experiment with what works for you. You may find that jungle noises or the sound of waves on a beach is more soothing. Others may prefer soft mechanical noises. You can purchase a white-noise machine or download one of the many apps for your phone or tablet. Commonly recommended apps include Lightning Bug, Sleep Fan, White Noise, Sleep Bug, and Chroma Doze. If you have done all these activities and you still don't feel sleepy, don't stay in bed fighting the frustration. This may actually key you up and make it more difficult for you to get to sleep later. Instead, get up, go to another room, and do something relaxing for a little while. Don't do anything too stimulating, like watching TV or doing physical activities. Keep the lights dim. Bright light will keep you awake. Try reading or listening to soft, soothing music for a few minutes. When you start to feel drowsy, go back to bed.
