Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consult your doctor. Eat healthy food at regular times. Exercise regularly. Balance your Circadian Rhythm.

Answer: Maintaining your health is important, particularly if you suspect that you might have a CREB protein deficiency. Cognitive or psychological issues (e.g. anxiety) may be due in part to a lag in CREB protein activation, and can be treated with medications or targeted therapies. Visit a doctor if you experience memory, learning, or concentration issues, or if you want more information about boosting your CREB protein levels. CREB protein levels are typically measured by way of a Western blot test, which is performed in a laboratory using a cell or tissue sample. This test can be ordered by your physician, or requested at a private laboratory. Contact private clinics or laboratories in your area for price quotes for a Western blot test. The body's production of CREB protein depends on the healthy functioning of the metabolic energy cycle. To keep this cycle running at peak capacity, eat a balanced and low-fat diet that is high in nutrients. It is equally important to eat at regular times of the day to keep your metabolic activity in check, which you can facilitate by keeping a food diary. Keep your metabolism on track by eating meals and snacks at the same time every day. Opt for snacks and meals that contain fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein (e.g. a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread, with an apple and carrot sticks on the side). Stay away from high fat, processed foods (e.g. fast food fare like hamburgers and fries). Exercise creates a molecular response in the body that can increase the activation of CREB protein. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week, or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity. Moderate exercise may include things like walking or swimming, while more vigorous exercise could include running, jumping rope, or taking a spin class. For instance, go for 30 minute walks five days a week to get moderate exercise. For an example of a more vigorous exercise routine, do 25 minute sessions of jump rope three times a week. Your Circadian Rhythm is an internal process that regulates when you feel sleepy and alert during the day, and at what times you sleep. Maintaining a healthy rhythm is key to regulating your eating habits and giving your body enough energy for exercise. Keep your Circadian Rhythm in check by: Keeping a consistent sleep schedule (i.e. going to bed and waking up at the same time every day) Steering clear of electronic devices close to your bedtime, which simulate daylight and adversely affect your body's sleep instincts Exposing yourself to bright light in the morning to wake up (e.g. opening the blinds, going outside for walk) Avoiding all-nighters

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set and maintain your boundaries Don't gossip about your frenemy. Stay calm, cool, and collected. Don't let yourself be affected by their negativity. Put yourself in your frenemy's shoes.

Answer: . If you want a friendship to work out with this person, then you will need to identify what behaviors you will and will not tolerate. Then, make these boundaries known to the person. Make sure to be honest with yourself about what your boundaries are and be direct with the person when you communicate with them. For example, if you are not willing to tolerate mean comments from this person, then say something like, "If you make negative comments about my appearance, then I am going to leave and we can't continue our conversation." If the person violates the boundary, then make sure you follow through with your consequence. For example, if you have said you will leave if the person makes mean comments about your appearance, and they do so, then get up and leave! Make sure that the person knows that they have violated a boundary any time that they do so. It's best to keep the "enemy" part of your friendship to yourself. It can be really tempting to share all of your negative thoughts with friends, but you don't want to sink to your frenemy's level. If the goal is to keep things running smoothly, gossiping will ruin that by stirring things up. This will also keep your frenemy from getting between you and your true friends. By observing the frenemy's trash talking as well as your lack of it, your true friends will see you more clearly as the trustworthy one. Do your best not to react emotionally when facing a frustrating challenge involving your frenemy. Your frenemy will most likely find satisfaction in getting a rise out of you, so it's best to keep a cool head and act like nothing's bothering you. Turning the other cheek will also make you appear more kind to you and your frenemy's mutual friends. Counter the negative things that your frenemy says and does to keep problems from developing. If you know your frenemy always bails on the plans you make together, always have a back-up plan. If your frenemy has a passionate view of religion that you disagree with, consider steering clear of that subject while talking to them. If your frenemy always has to be right, ask them a question about something they said that you disagree with instead of challenging them. It might be easier to deal with your frenemy if you look at things from their perspective. If they find it so necessary to be nasty and mean to you, there's probably a reason for it and it may have nothing to do with you. While this doesn't justify their meanness, understanding where they're coming from may help you take it with a grain of salt. Maybe your frenemy is having problems at home and doesn't know how to handle their stress in a positive way. Your frenemy may act mean in an attempt to hide their own insecurities.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know that it might take some time. Look in the right places. Cast a wide net. Prepare for interviews. Be persistent and patient. Consider different settings. Sign up for substitute teaching. Don't rule out starting as an Assistant Teacher or teacher's aid.

Answer:
Although preschool teaching is a growing field, people are also waiting longer to retire, and state and federal funding for education is an often-contested field. You might not find your dream job at first, but there are steps you can take to increase the likelihood of long-term success. Find job listings for positions in public schools on state Department of Education websites. The National Association of Independent Schools posts listings for jobs in private schools. While you become certified in a specific state, many states have reciprocity with one another. For instance, if you are certified in Pennsylvania, you will be able to teach in public schools in Delaware and other neighboring states. It might make for a longer drive, but in many cases it is doable. While every school is different, employers will be looking for many of the same qualities in potential hires. You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you go into your interviews blind. Instead, be prepared so that you will meet--or even exceed--your interviewers' expectations. Practice answering tough questions. Being able to speak extemporaneously is important, but that doesn't mean you should avoid practicing answers to difficult questions. Be ready to discuss the following: Why you decided to become a preschool teacher Addressing different styles of learners Your pedagogical approach and the theories underpinning it Communicating with parents Assessing student progress The specific school or school district where you are interviewing Bring the right materials. You've already sent them your resume, letters of recommendation, and perhaps a portfolio, but interviewers will be impressed if you bring copies of these materials on interview day, as well. Don't overwhelm them with content--just bring enough to appear organized and professional. Be prepared to do a teaching demonstration. You may be asked to conduct a sample lesson in front of administrators and current teachers. This is usually not something that happens at a first interview. Teaching demonstrations are time-consuming, so schools will generally only invite finalists to do so. The turnover rate among preschool teachers can be high, so schools are sometimes left scrambling for a qualified candidate just days before the school year begins. Just because you did not get a specific job that you applied for in April, you are not necessarily out of luck come August. If possible, you should submit applications even to schools without advertised openings just in case such a situation occurs. Part of this will depend on the qualifications you have, but some of it will also be preference and job availability. Believe it or not, only 16% of preschool teachers work in public or private elementary or secondary schools. The rest are employed in daycares (54%), religious and other independent centers (21%), and individual arrangements (3%). Teachers in schools will generally teach during the school year, although they may also work in camps or elsewhere during the summer. Teachers in daycares and other centers will generally teach all year long, and they may be with children for more hours of the day. Requirements vary greatly for substitute teaching, and they can differ even on a district-by-district basis. While some locales require that you be a certified teacher, others ask only for a high school diploma. Substitute teaching can be a great way of gaining experience and getting your foot in the door. You'll need to contact the school district (or specific school, if you are interested in substituting in a private school where requirements may be less strict) to determine if you are qualified. Be prepared to provide the school/school district with any transcripts and the results of a background check. Since preschool children require so much attention, many schools hire other adults to perform various instructional, organizational, and preparatory tasks. Like substitute teaching, this is both great experience and a way to make yourself a known quantity in the school. Some states have special programs where you can become an Assistant Teacher after completing two years of a bachelor's degree program. This way, when you graduate you will have a degree, a certification, and lots of experiencea good combination for being on the job market.
