article: Many people find journaling a helpful way to clarify and process tough emotions. Sometimes the difficulty of an emotion is simply feeling unable to express it. Write down what has happened, what you feel, and the duration and severity of the emotion. Even by organizing these thoughts into an entry, you often begin processing the emotion. Don't be afraid of sounding melodramatic or selfish. After all, you don't need to share your journal with anyone; also, you can write about it again later, when you have a more rational view of the situation. Once you start journaling about your emotions, you may find patterns in the sources that weren't as obvious beforehand. Try to locate the source that's causing each emotion. If you recognize common causes, then ask yourself how you can make changes to either weed out the source or reduce its impact on you. People tend to despair over difficult emotions and immediately entertain negative thoughts around the emotion that simply aren't true. By isolating and questioning these thoughts, you can separate out the negative thought reactions that often accompany tough emotions. The process of challenging and correcting your own thoughts can take time and patience. Begin by asking yourself: Is the thought true? If you think it's true, what're the facts supporting it? What are your reactions to the negative thought? What effect on your actions or behaviors would you experience by not having the thought? Once you're familiar with how to question your negative thoughts, you can also begin recognizing the patterns associated with them. This will allow you to simply interrupt the cycle of negative thinking and replace it with more positive or productive thinking. You can start with a verbal interruption (such as telling yourself to snap out of it) or even a physical cue (such as a rubber band on your wrist when you recognize the negative thought). This helps stop the thought by recognizing it is happening. Turn to your hobbies during times of difficult emotions. Using those feelings as a conduit for creative and artistic expression is a process called sublimation. A lot of energy goes into tough emotions, and funneling that energy into projects, skills, and other positive outlets can help you cope in a productive way. Don't try to take on the world by yourself. Talking with someone with whom you feel comfortable can help ease all manner of difficult emotions or negative thoughts you may have. They may also come up with a solution to your problem or a way for you to cope that didn't occur to you. Hiding your problems will always create more problems than it solves. Seek support in good friends, loved ones, relatives, or even a professional therapist or counselor, if other methods haven't helped. If the long-term stresses of coping with difficult emotions have left you feeling withdrawn or overwhelmed, then you may want to talk to a professional counselor or therapist. A professional also offers an alternative if your emotions stem from something you'd prefer not to share with friends and family members. Your therapist will provide an understanding ear, confidentiality, helpful suggestions, and additional tools and resources to help you cope. If your counselor thinks that medication will help as you work through your emotions, then either he or she will be able to provide a prescription or refer you to someone who can.

article: In order to compost in your backyard, you need to build or purchase a composting container. This container should be placed in a shady location that is near a source of water. Types of containers include: Homemade Containers: Construct your own round or square composting container out of fence posts and wire mesh siding, fence posts and lattice, or brick and wood. Build a structure that is at least three feet wide and three feet deep. Compost Bins: This product, also known as a compost digester, is enclosed on the top and sides. Its open bottom sits directly on the ground. While these bins are small and inexpensive, it is difficult to turn the compost pile inside of them. Compost Tumblers: These rotating composting containers are the most effective and mobile bins on the market. The rotating drum makes it easy to turn and aerate the compost. The drum also serves as insulation, which keeps the composting materials at the ideal temperature year round. The center paddle helps to aerate the compost and prevents the materials from clumping. Begin your compost pile in late spring or summer when it is hot and slightly damp. Organic materials must be placed thoughtfully and carefully in the compost pile. A well laid out compost pile will promote drainage and aeration while deterring clumping and rotting. Place your biodegradable materials in thin, even layers. Place brown waste, specifically twigs and straw, on the bottom of the pile to encourage drainage. This layer should be a few inches thick. Add alternating layers of moist and dry green and brown waste. Keep this layers thin to avoid clumping. Moist items include food scraps, food waste, coffee grounds, and tea bags. Dry items include straw, twigs, leaves, and untreated sawdust. In order for the microorganisms to breakdown the green and brown waste into compost, the pile must remain moist, warm, and well aerated. Monitor your pile frequently. Your compost should maintain the moisture of a damp sponge. If it is too dry, add water to the pile with a hose or let the rain water it naturally. If it is too wet, your organic materials may rot instead of compost. Your compost pile should retain an interior temperature between 135 to 160 F. You can monitor the temperature with a thermometer. Covering your compost pile with a lid, carpet squares, wood, or a tarp will help regulate the temperature of the pile. In order for the compost process to work, your pile must have a sufficient amount of air. Add oxygen to your pile by turning it every two to four weeks. You can turn the pile with a pitchfork or rotate your compost tumbler. When your compost pile is well developed, you can introduce new green waste and green manure to the compost. These products add nitrogen to the pile. The nitrogen serves as a catalyst for the composting process. Use a pitchfork to add and mix in green manure to your pile. Acceptable green manure items include grass clippings, buckwheat, wheatgrass, and clover. Bury new vegetable, fruit, and food scraps at least ten inches below the top of the pile. Once the material at the bottom of your pile is a rich dark brown, the compost is ready for use. This can take anywhere from two months to two years. Open up your composting container and empty its contents onto the ground. Add the compost to your garden, vegetable patch, or orchard.

Remove oils and debris from your face every morning and night to get clear, glowing skin. If you work outside or are sweating more than usual, you may want to wash your face more frequently. Use mild, unscented, and dye-free soap and water. Check the ingredients. In most cases, a mild soap is enough to keep your skin free from blemishes and give it a healthy glow. Make sure products don't contain peroxide and alcohol. These ingredients strip protective oils from the skin, leading to dry, uneven complexion. Body washes often contain harsh dyes or fragrances. If you want the aroma therapy experience of using your favorite scented body wash without exposing skin to potentially damaging chemicals, add one teaspoon of the scented body wash to each ounce of wash that is more gentle. You'll get the clean, moisturized skin you need and the fragrance you want. An hour after you wash your face, run a tissue over your forehead and the bridge of your nose. If the tissue is oily, you likely have an oily skin type. If the tissue reveals flakes of skin, you likely have dry skin. If you have oily skin, you'll want to look for products that are light lotions or foams rather than heavier creams and masks because oil on the skin may create a barrier sealing creams or masks onto skin and clogging pores. If you have dry skin, avoid soaps that have alcohol and peroxide, and apply moisturizers more liberally. Alpha hydroxy acids, AHAs, are good for anti-aging and keeping an even skin tone, but they can be drying so patients with dry skin should use them sparingly. Glycolic acid is good for oily skin and lactic acid is good for dry skin. Use a facial treatment with enzymes to smooth and brighten skin tone no matter what your skin type. Vitamin C is also essential to protect and repair both oily and dry skin. Use a product with sulfur once a week to reduce oil on the skin without drying. Your skin has different needs according to the time of day. In the morning, you want to prepare your skin for the rest of the day. Start by using a gentle cleanser to soothe your skin. Next, apply toner if that is part of your routine. Most importantly, you want to choose a daytime moisturizer. Ideally, a daytime moisturizer should contain SPF. It should also be light, and should not make your skin feel oily. At night, you want to use a thicker, richer moisturizer. Retinols and peptides are good ingredients to look for, as they can help repair your skin overnight. When celebs get pimples, they may have to put their film shoot on hold, hide from paparazzi, and otherwise worry about ending up on the "celebs without make up" page. Many of these celebrities rely on dermatologists to give them amino acid therapy with light catalyst a few times a year to avoid these breakouts all together. However, professional therapies can cost as much as $4000. Instead, you should consider using a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat chronic breakouts. They don't work as quickly, but you'll start seeing a difference within a few weeks. These products range from ten to fifty dollars. Deep clean into pores and remove dead skin quickly and gently using a soft-bristled brush in combination with a mild facial cleanser. You can find brushes at most beauty stores and pharmacies. You've likely heard of using a facial brush, but you may also want to consider dry brushing your skin from head to toe. This removes dead skin, improves circulation, and evens out skin tone. Even if you don't get sunburns, sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from UV rays, pollutants, and harsh weather conditions. Choose sunscreens that are oil free and at least SPF 15 or higher. Sunscreen typically wears off after three hours, so bring sunscreen with you and reapply often for best results. You may also want to consider a moisturizer and sunscreen combined to simplify your care routine. Consider sunless tanning. A high quality sunless tanning lotion offers a sun-kissed glow without exposing skin to the sun. Additionally, they even out skin tone, block UV rays, and moisturize. You can also consider professional sunless tanning to give the entire body a consistent color and give skin a healthy-looking glow. Don't assume one application of sunscreen or moisturizer will keep your skin moisturized and protected all day. Skin that's exposed to ultraviolet light, smog, rain, wind, and other elements needs to be retreated periodically, and most sunscreens are ineffective after just three hours. Reapply a moisturizer or sunscreen every three to six hours for optimal effect. If you have extra dry skin, consider steaming. You can buy steamers specifically made for facials that cost between $25 and $100, but it's just as effective to use a boiled pot of water. Bring the water to a fast boil, remove it from heat, and lean over the pot allowing the steam to cover your face for about ten minutes. Pat skin dry and apply moisturizer. Applying moisturizers improves circulation, preventing the loss of collagen that leads to an increased appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you have oily skin, look for moisturizers that are specifically made to reduce oiliness, and always choose oil and petroleum free products.
