article: The internal locus of control is a fancy way of saying how you view yourself in relation to events in your life and your attitude towards situations that happen to you. A strong internal locus of control means that you take responsibility for things in your life, and you have a hardy sense of being able to manage problems or difficulties that may come your way. To begin changing your life for the better, beef up your internal locus of control. In contrast, if you have an external locus of control, you feel as though things just happen to you, you are a victim of your circumstances, and you don't feel as though you have much agency in your life to deal with challenging events. An easy example is to imagine you have been in a car accident, no one is hurt, and you and the other driver are both at fault. If you are oriented in having an internal locus of control, you will accept the situation, have confidence you will be able to deal with the consequences, and feel that, even though this is a challenging situation, you will be able to handle it. If your locus of control is external, your thoughts may be a long the lines of, "Why does this always happen to me? Nothing ever goes my way. I always mess everything up. The world is out to get me, no matter what I do." There is an easy true and false test online that you can take and score in about ten minutes that can tell you where your locus of control is. Take the test and figure out your score. This will let you know where you are so you can start to understand your approach to life. Understanding what your beliefs are and your ability to handle adversity will help illuminate where to begin changing your attitudes towards life in a more positive, empowered way. Feeling like you have no control over yourself or your life can lead to feelings of stagnation, depression, helplessness, and hopelessness. How can you change your life for the better if you feel so stuck in this way? Are you living your life or are you letting life live you? Most people tend to take on negative thoughts about themselves when life doesn't work out the way they imagined. It's a normal reaction, but that doesn't mean you can't change it. Now that you know where your locus of control is and why you need to shift it, you can start to move toward a more internal, empowered approach to life. Write down recent examples of times in your life that made you feel angry or disappointed, such as tests at school, performance at work, your self esteem in relationships, or your general success and ability to deal with life in the face of adversity. Write down all of the examples you can think of that cause you to feel worry, anxiety, anger, or guilt. Next to these events, write what your natural reaction to these things would be. Write down as may examples as you can think of, real or imagined, and your honest thoughts and reactions when life doesn't go your way. For example, people often stress about school and work performance. For example, write down, "If I fail this test, I am a loser and I am stupid. The test was probably unfair and I don't have enough time to study. I can't do this." These are all statements that relieve you of any responsibility of the actual outcome of the test. This will help you access your feelings and start to change them. Start to create the shift to a more empowered view of life with your journal. The power of your words will help you clearly see the choice you have in how you view your life. Becoming aware of that choice and internalizing the power you have to put your life in your perspective on your terms will help you begin to change your life for the better. Using your listed feelings in your journal, begin to re-frame your reactions from the perspective of choice, empowerment, and positive esteem. Own your choices, own your time, own your consequences, and be realistic about your role as a person in the events that happen in your life. For example, you could write about a test, "I didn't study as much as I could because I went to the movies, and that's okay. I didn't do as well as I wanted to, but next time I will do better. I know that I could have done better because I am capable of better study habits and time management. I'm only human, and sometimes I make mistakes. There will be more tests, it's not the end of the world. I can talk to the professor to see if there is anything else I can do to help my grade." Begin to take this new perspective of choice and empowerment into the real world. Changing your life for the better starts with your attitudes about yourself and your life. Listen to how you talk to yourself when you feel disappointed and upset. Use your journal to write down the negative things that immediately pop into your brain throughout the day. Set an alarm on your phone so that the message, "Talk positively to yourself today" pops up every hour. Make small posters that you can place by your bed, your office walls, or inside your notebooks that say, "Only positive self talk." Take responsibility for how you treat yourself and how you talk to yourself. Feeling like you deserve to change your life for the better will create positive change in your life. For example, you dropped a plate and broke it. Instead of thinking, "I am such a clumsy idiot!", start to change the toxic patterns and write down positive re-framing thoughts in your journal. You aren't a clumsy idiot, you are a person who sometimes drops plates. Even in that simple statement, you are shifting the responsibility from being a helpless clumsy idiot that can't help but break plates, to a human being that isn't always perfect and makes mistakes. You are not as powerless as you may feel. Changing your life takes bravery and, even if you think you aren't courageous, you are. In your changes journal, write down all the times in your life you felt brave. Write about all the times you were faced with situations that you thought you could never deal with or situations that scared you that you did indeed survive. Honor your courage for just living in this world. For example, write about how you showed up at school to take the test even though you failed it. Sometimes just showing up takes courage. Courage is not an easy talent and having it does not mean that you don't fear things. It just means you know you have the power to face your fears and deal with life. Try getting creative. Make a collage about how brave you are, write a poem about courage, or make a poster about all of your courageous attributes. Changing your life for the better does not mean you will suddenly have a better life where everything falls into place and you sail along blissfully satisfied with your better life. Changing your life for the better takes courage. Changing your attitude from feeling as though there is nothing you can do to rise above the adversity of life and that you are stuck and stagnant, to feeling as though you have a healthy, resilient, positive attitude and belief in yourself is essential in changing your life for the better. You cannot change life, you cannot predict life, and often the best laid plans can always fall through. However, you can change yourself and how you view life events.

Write an article based on this "Create a structure for a box fan. Cut a hole for the fan. Face the fan toward the inside of the booth. Tape a furnace filter to the back of the fan. Mount a furnace filter in the plastic with duct tape. Replace your filters regularly."
article:
Using a small stepladder, cardboard boxes, or other temporary structure, place a box fan high enough to at least clear the middle PVC pipe of your paint booth. Position the structure outside of the booth on one side. If necessary because of limited space, place the structure so that it is approximately 1 inch (2.5cm) from the middle PVC pipe. This will place the legs of the ladder inside the booth, but they will be covered by plastic. Trim a hole that's almost exactly the size of the fan at the height you've got it. Pull the plastic to the edge of the fan and seal it all around with tape. If you need to, add extra plastic to make sure you get a tight seal. You're creating positive pressure, meaning you'll blow air in and let it out in another filter. If you pulled air from the paint booth through the fan instead, you could end up drawing dangerous fumes into the fan's motor. You don't want to blow dust into the booth, so find a filter that's the same size as the fan. Seal it to the back of the fan using duct tape. You can also do the opposite if you prefer. That is, you can tape a filter into the side of the booth instead of the back of the fan. Then, just face the fan toward the filter. Cut a hole in the plastic large enough for a filter on the side opposite the fan. Tape it in place to the plastic, making sure you seal all the edges with tape. When using the paint booth, always run the fan. The furnace filters will eventually fill with overspray and paint dust. Each time the filter is changed, either pull up the existing duct tape holding it in place or cut it out with a blade. If you're using a blade, be careful not to cut the plastic! It may be helpful to add the new filter with a different color duct tape each time so you know which tape to remove or cut without touching the wrong tape.
