Some progesterone creams are available over the counter, while others require a prescription from your doctor. You should ask your pharmacist about different options, and ask for details about the differences. When applying anything to your skin, make sure to read the ingredients and make sure that you do not have any known allergies. If you decide to go with an over the counter option, you might want to try your local natural health store. Homeopathic remedies can be very successful, and you can ask the staff at a small store any questions you may have. You might receive more personalized advice than at a large chain store. While generally considered safe, progesterone can cause some unwanted side effects. Some users have reported issues such as upset stomachs and weight gain. Others have noticed depression-like or PMS-like symptoms. Remember, this cream contains hormones, so it will affect you physically. Before you start using progesterone cream, discuss your options with your doctor. Explain your concerns, and what you hope to gain from using the cream. Ask all of the questions that you have, and gain a clear understanding of what the cream can do for you.

summary: Research different creams. Shop around. Know the possible effects. Talk to your doctor.

Wear it just long enough for your odor to rub off. Put the sock over your hand, with your fingers holding the catnip dangling down inside the bottom of the sock. Then twist the end of the sock. It doesn't have to be perfectly secure, just enough to allow you to re-wrap the sock with multiple layers. You should now have a new "layer" to add to the toy. You won't need too much. Not all cats like catnip, but cats that do like catnip tend to be quite sensitive to it. One theory on why catnip excites cats is that it acts on the hypothalamus, triggering a predatory reaction. Some research suggests certain molecules in catnip act as an opioid on cats, triggering the pleasure center in cats' brains. Not all cats are affected by catnip. Only about 30-70% of all cats will react to catnip. You may want to make this knot somewhat loose, so that your cat will be able to access the catnip. "Working" for food allows cats to indulge in the natural predatory instincts that all cats are born with. Some cats are immune to catnip, but those that aren't immune will find the toy irresistible. Even if your cat does not like catnip, it will certainly enjoy playing with the toy. Your cat will be able to smell you on the sock, and it may come to associate your smell with the excitement and joy of playing with catnip, making this a great toy for newly adopted cats.

summary: Wear an old sock for a few hours. Take a large pinch of catnip in your hand. Drop the catnip in the toe. Grip the toe of the sock with the catnip inside and pull the sock off. Repeat this, adding a bit more catnip for every layer. Tie a knot in the end of the sock. Give the toy to your cat.

Recognize that your own life and death, as well as the lives of other creatures, are all parts of the same cycle or life-process. Life and death, rather than being two completely different events, are actually always occurring at the same time. The cells in our bodies, for example, are continuously dying and regenerating in different ways throughout an individual lifetime. This helps our bodies adapt and grow within the world around us. Our bodies serve as fertile ecosystems for countless different life forms, especially after our own lives come to an end. While we are alive, our gastrointestinal system is home to millions of micro-organisms. These all help our bodies stay healthy enough to support proper immune functioning, and, in certain ways, even complex cognitive processing. On a much larger, macro level, our lives fit together in unique ways to form societies and local communities which depend upon our bodies' energy and actions in order to sustain some degree of organization. Your own life is composed of the same mechanisms and materials as other lives around you. Understanding this point can help you become more comfortable with the thought of a world without your particular self still being around. Go on meditative walks in nature. Or, you can simply spend more time outside around many different life forms. These activities can be great ways to become more comfortable with the realization that you're a part of a larger world. Try thinking that after you die you will go somewhere happy. Many religions believe in this. If you ascribe to a particular religion, you may find comfort in considering what your religion believes about the afterlife.
summary: Consider how life and death are part of the same cycle. Think about how your body is part of a complex ecosystem. Know the role your body plays in the grand scheme of things. Spend time in nature. Consider the afterlife.
