INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remind yourself that your physical and emotional needs are just as important as everyone else's. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish it's your right. Taking good care of yourself makes you better able to help others as well. If you're used to putting everybody else first, it may take some time to make this mental shift. Be patient with yourself, and remind yourself that you have nothing to feel guilty about. Take a few minutes to think about and write down the things you value most. Defining your priorities in life will guide you towards creating good boundaries. For instance, your values might include things like honesty, good communication, and spending time with family. Look over your list of values and priorities again. Based on this list, consider whether there's anything you're not comfortable doing or any issues you refuse to budge on. The things you're not willing to compromise on are your personal boundaries. For instance, if integrity is one of the things you value most, you might decide that you can't keep doing your friend's homework for her, even if she's afraid of failing the class without your help. Does a friend or family member routinely ask for more than you can give? If you often feel burned out or taken for granted, think about what boundaries you can set to protect yourself. For instance, if you're feeling overburdened because your friend asks you to watch her kids every weekend, you could set a boundary by telling her you can't babysit any more. Make a plan for meeting your own physical and emotional needs, and commit to it. Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is easier when you're in the habit of taking care of yourself. Take care of your body by eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest. Making time for hobbies and relaxation helps you stay emotionally healthy. Setting boundaries with those you love can be taxing. Although boundaries are essential in forming healthy relationships, the process may be challenging to navigate. Reach out for support from friends and family members who understand and value you during this process. For instance, if you have a trusted coworker who understands your need for boundary-setting with a friend, you might share your progress and ask the person to help hold you accountable.

SUMMARY: Give yourself permission to put your own needs first. Make a list of the things that matter most to you. Think about what you don't want to compromise on. Identify any situations that make you feel resentful or overwhelmed. Create a self-care strategy. Seek support.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Chronic nausea that coincides with monthly menstruation suggests that PMS is the culprit. But there are other causes for nausea, some more serious than others. If your nausea symptoms do not go away after menstruation or become more serious, then see a doctor. Some common causes of nausea include: Medication Inducement: People with sensitive stomachs often have to take medications or vitamins with a small meal or a glass of milk to prevent nausea. If you are currently taking a new medication, consider whether your discomfort is related to that medication. Emotional stress: Are you experiencing a serious personal tragedy or period of intense stress? This can often cause nausea symptoms and absence of appetite. Gastrointestinal infection, or "Stomach Flu": These are normally short term and produce nausea, diarrhea, cramping, and vomiting as the primary symptoms. If these symptoms are intense and last for more than 24 hours, it could be a sign of something more serious. Pregnancy: Although it is rare, sometimes women can be pregnant and still have a period. Since nausea is a common symptom of early pregnancy, you may want to ensure that you are not pregnant by taking a pregnancy test. Heartburn: Nausea can also be caused by heartburn. If you have a burning sensation along with your nausea, then you may have heartburn. There is no cure for PMS, but it is possible to treat symptoms like nausea with lifestyle accommodations. Eat only small, bland meals. You need nourishment, even while nauseous. Eating small meals ensures that you do not add to stomach discomfort. Try something like dry toast, crackers, jello, applesauce, or chicken soup. Avoid strong odors. Perfumes, certain types of cooking, and smoke all compound the symptoms of nausea. Avoid environments where these are present. Restrict travel. Motion sickness causes nausea and can exacerbate existing symptoms. If you must travel, ride in the driver's or front passenger seat of the car as this decreases the chance for motion sickness. Eat ginger. Crystalized ginger, ginger chews, and ginger tea all contain the active elements of the ginger plant that can soothe the symptoms of nausea. Try peppermint. Peppermint oil in capsule form and peppermint tea are useful for relieving symptoms of indigestion that accompany nausea. Drink chamomile tea. Chamomile has a relaxing effect on muscles and nerves and can relieve stomach cramping associated with nausea or vomiting. There are a variety of over the counter products designed to address symptoms associated with nausea. Below are some examples: Phosphorated carbohydrate: Infused into a glucose syrup, phosphoric acid has a soothing, analgesic effect on the stomach lining, reducing discomfort associated with nerve irritation. Antacid: In chewable or liquid form, antacid can neutralize stomach acid associated with nausea or upset stomach. Note that if you are suffering from an acid reflux disorder, your doctor may prescribe medication that treats the same symptoms. Dimenhydrinate: Found in medications for motions sickness, this blocks the brain receptors associated with vomiting.

SUMMARY: Identify the source of the nausea. Treat the symptoms. Take medication.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Plan your design using a large-scale map or computer software to get the most accurate circles. Mark on the map the directions you will be flattening, to avoid visible signs of passage (inexperienced circle makers can spoil a design by leaving stripes like a lawnmower would). Initial access is normally through existing farm tracks and trails - scope these out and note their positions on your map before you begin designing. Start simple. Consider making your first crop circle from an arrangement of discs in a geometric formation. More advanced curved lines can be created by overlapping partial circular arcs. Some cereal artists spontaneously develop designs once they're in the field. If you do this, make sure everyone in your group understands what the final image will look like. Use your map to find the exact location of the exact center and stomp with one foot to create a small circle. This smaller circle will be the starting point for all of your measurements. Drive a wooden pole into the exact center of the smaller circle. Make sure you drive it in deeply enough that the pole doesn't wiggle around while you're taking measurements! Attach surveyors tape or a 100-ft rope to the wooden pole and stretch it out as far as you need it to go. This part of the circle is called the radius, or the measurement from the center of the circle to the edge. The surveyors tape (or rope) should be stretched out to a length equaling the radius. As a reminder, the perimeter of a circle is 2r, where "" is approximately equal to 3.14 and "r" is the radius of your circle. For example, if you wanted your circle to be 100 feet around, your radius would be 15.92 feet. If your design needs them, make construction lines by laying rope outlines to shapes. Then flatten circles at the intersection points.

SUMMARY:
Plot your crop circle. Create the center of the crop circle. Measure out your circle.
