Article: Take a few minutes to laugh either by yourself or with others. Whether it's a short 2-minute video of a cat wearing pants or a feature length comedy, laughing has many health benefits: Laughter stimulates many organs. When we laugh we take in more oxygen than usual, and that stimulates the heart, lungs, and muscles. Laughing increases positive thoughts, leading to the release of stress and disease-fighting neuropeptides. Laughter itself increases mood and leads to feelings of enhanced interpersonal connection when shared with others. When you have negative or nervous feelings, it is hard to stop yourself from wallowing in them. Crack a big smile. It might be fake at first, but think about something that genuinely makes you smile, and keep working at it. A great big smile will momentarily trick your mind into thinking more positively, helping pull you out of a rut. Power posing is a way of holding your body to convey confident and dominant body language. In turn, this can help make your mood more relaxed and confident.

Article: With the brush in your kit connected to the current source, coat your clean item with the activating solution. The tip of the brush is actually wrapped around the anode, which both coats and ionizes your item in preparation for the actual plating solution. Alternatively, you can dip your item into the beaker with the activating solution and fully submerge it to coat it. However, the brush must also be in the activating solution with the item since the brush is also the anode helping to charge the surface of the item. The plating solution will work better on your item if any excess activating solution has been rinsed from your item. A quick dunk is sufficient. Just as with the activating solution, you can either use the separate plating brush to coat your item, or you can submerge the item in the plating solution. The electrical current will bond the oppositely charged gold particles to the item. Your kit will recommend several passes with the wand. If submerging the item, the amount of time will vary by object, but you will likely need to leave it in the solution for ten-to-twenty seconds. You will also want to rotate the item halfway through to give each side equal time directly facing the anode for even and equal deposition. This will remove any excess plating solution, and there is minimal drying time. The plated gold will be hard and dry almost instantly.
