INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One study found that a stationary activity, like knitting or crocheting, can help you stop obsessing about food. Focus on a simple hobby you enjoy doing, like gardening, sewing, or even painting. Using a hobby as a distraction can lead to improvement in your skills or abilities and a shift in focus. Don't keep your hunger pangs to yourself. Instead, call up a friend and go for a walk together or go see a movie. Focus on spending time with friends or family, instead of on your hunger. Schedule a routine meet up with a friend during a diet so you have a guaranteed distraction for a certain day and time. This may help to motivate you to get through the day without succumbing to hunger and give you something to focus on instead of your grumbling stomach. Take a walk around your area or go for run or jog to help you unwind and re focus. According to researchers at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, exercise strengthens your brain's powers of executive function, including your ability to think ahead and control your inhibitions. This will then make it easier to stop thinking about your hunger pangs. Try taking up a yoga class. Yoga can help you deal with temptations and be a more mindful eater. Focus your thoughts on the events of the day or a list of ongoing goals you keep in your journal. You may also want to record your eating habits and the times of day when you feel hungry, as well as how you feel emotionally during these times. Writing down your eating habits will help you distinguish when you're feeling physically hungry and when you're feeling emotionally hungry. Physical hunger usually has symptoms like a growling stomach or lightheadedness. Emotional hunger is when you want to eat but you do not feel physically hungry. Writing down your emotions towards food will help you identify your triggers and prevent them from happening. For example, you may find you get hungry in the afternoon, when you begin to get bored with your work and are looking for a snack. You may then want to change up your routine, like exercising or going for a walk in the afternoon, to prevent emotional eating. Be proactive with your time and complete one item on your to do list. Or look over any chores you can do at home and get them done. Rather than reach for food, reach for the broom, the duster, or the sponge and do your dishes or clean your bathroom.

SUMMARY: Focus on a hobby. Socialize with friends. Do light exercise. Write in your journal. Solve a problem or complete a chore.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you have finished writing the card, read it over and check for any errors. If you are handwriting the card, you may write out a rough draft first and check it over before you write it on the actual thank you card. If you are creating the card online, you can edit it for errors easily before you send it out. Try reading the note backwards to check for spelling errors. Identify all the punctuation used in the note and make it sure it is correct. Double check the spelling of the person's name in the note to ensure it is correct. Look over the note for flow and tone. Check that the note includes a specific mention of the gift or service you are thanking the recipient for. Make sure the note has a friendly, intimate tone, especially if you are close to the recipient. Try to keep the language in the note simple and easy to read. The message should be short and to the point. Once you feel the thank you note is at its best, put it in an envelope and send it out within a month of receiving the gift or service from the recipient. A month is just long enough for the recipient to remember giving the gift and will ensure they are thanked promptly for it. The sooner you can send out the thank you note to the person, the better. Any longer than a month can seem a little rude or tardy for a thank you note.
Summary: Check the note for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Make sure the note is easy to read. Send the card out within a month of receiving the gift.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Orange is a secondary color, which means that you can make it by combining two primary colors. The two primary colors needed for orange are red and yellow. "Primary" colors exist naturally and cannot be created by combining other colors. Red, yellow, and blue are the three primary colors, but you'll only need red and yellow to create orange. "Secondary" colors are made by combining two primary colors. Since you need to combine red and yellow to make orange, orange is considered a secondary color. The other two secondary colors are violet and green. Combining equal parts of pure yellow and pure red will create pure orange, but if you'd like a slightly different hue, you can add either more yellow or more red to change it. Yellow-orange and red-orange are the two simplest variations. These colors are also known as "tertiary" colors. Tertiary colors fall evenly between secondary and primary colors on the color wheel. Yellow-orange consists of two parts yellow and one part red, or one part orange and one part yellow. Red-orange consists of two parts red and one part yellow, or one part orange and one part red. You can lighten or darken orange without changing the hue by adding white or black, respectively. The amount of white or black you add will determine how much lighter or darker the orange hue becomes. Note that lighter values are typically referred to as "tints," while darker values are commonly referred to as "shades."

SUMMARY:
Mix red and yellow. Change the hue by altering proportions. Add black or white to change the value.
