INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're trying self-hypnosis, you will need to know what affirmation your hypnosis script will include. In hypnosis, affirmations are the suggestions made to you while you are under. The point of an affirmation is that you making suggestions to yourself to change certain behaviours or ways of thinking. Some examples of affirmations suitable for self-hypnosis include: I will not overreact when I get angry or frustrated. I will eat more healthily. I will be kinder to people. Once you have decided on the key affirmations you want to build your recording around, you need to think about the larger structure of the script. Generally, you should try to build a self-hypnosis recording around the four key sections of hypnosis. These are the Induction Script, the Deepening Script, the Subject Script, and the Awakening Script. A complete hypnosis recording will move through these elements in the above order. The Subject Script is the part in which you will have your affirmations. This is the part of the hypnosis which helps relax you, and prepares for the deeper parts of hypnosis that follow. This script should be quite straightforward and uncomplicated. You can start by just saying something like "slowly close your eyes, and relax your scalp muscles." If you start the muscle relaxation at the scalp, you can progress on to the muscles at the back of your head, and then relax the muscles in your face. Continue to work your way right down your body, all the way to your toes. Progressively relaxing muscles and breathing deeply will help you relax your body. The next step is the part of the hypnosis that will ease you into a deeper relaxation. In this section you should concentrate on progressively relaxing over time. You can use instructions that refer to time passing, such as "as each minute passes you feel more relaxed," or "each breath brings you into a deeper state of relaxation." You can also use visualisations to help your relaxation deepen. One popular visualisation used in a deepening script is walking down a staircase. You could say "imagine you are walking downstairs, with each step you take you are more relaxed." You can use any visualisation that works for you, such as a descending elevator. Now you are at the central element of your hypnosis. The Subject Script is where you will introduce the affirmations and positive suggestions aimed at helping your change your behaviour and thinking. Always try to use positive suggestions, rather than ones that prohibit you from doing something. If, for example, you wanted to cut down on your alcohol consumption, you could create a positive picture of yourself drinking less. You might say something like "drinking makes you ill," and then progress to something like "you are healthy and happy when you are sober." The next part of the script is designed to bring you back to full awareness. This normally includes a numerical count from one to five. The idea is that you progressively increase the energy in your body as you got through the count. To help achieve this, you can increase the energy in your voice as you say the numbers one, two, three, four and five. If you are using hypnosis to help you go to sleep you will want to replace the awakening script with one that helps you go to sleep. These are the basic building-blocks for a self-hypnosis recording, which you can experiment with and customise to find what works best for you. If you are uncertain about how to start writing your own script, there are many examples that you can download online and use yourself. You can use these examples for inspiration, or you can record them word-for-word. If you do use an example from the internet, be sure it comes from a reputable source and read through it carefully before you record it.

SUMMARY: Decide what your affirmation will be. Break your script into four parts. Create an Induction Script. Make a Deepening Script. Craft your Subject Script. Finish with an Awakening Script. Consider downloading a prepared script.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go over which teammates will assume what position and cover for the team's diggers. This will make it easier for them to prepare to respond and take over the play. Figuring out who will cover for a certain direction or move from the other team will provide much tighter defense, making it easier for you to counter. Be sure to go over potential plans with any nearby diggers so both of you are prepared to retrieve the ball, if necessary. There may be moments in the game where players cluster together or a spot isn't as covered as it should be. This situation is a good moment to inform your teammate that they need to move. You can say, "Cover position 6," or "Right back open," depending on how your team refers to the playing field areas. Be sure to do this promptly to keep your team properly defended and prepared. Instead maintain your position, just to a lesser degree. You can then help your teammate and recover the ball on the off chance they miss their mark.

SUMMARY: Plan out blocking techniques with your team's diggers before playing. Discuss stagger strategies with nearby teammates before a pass or retrieval. Offer position directions to your teammates during passes. Don't back off completely when someone else claims the ball.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Damaged hair will only become more damaged as you put it through the daily straightening process, and you won't be able to get the sleek look you're after. If you've got split ends or inches of damage, start fresh by having your stylist cut them off. If you really don't want to cut your hair, it may be possible to repair some damage over time with products containing oils and moisturizers. This is not a quick-fix, thoughit could take two to three months to see improvements. Use your smoothing (or strengthening) shampoo and conditioner and rinse them well. Depending on the product(s) you choose, you may need to apply it while your hair is still wet. Some products direct you to use them on damp hair, while others are for dry hair and you should apply them immediately before using the flat iron. Whatever the case, be sure to follow the directions on the packaging for best results. Use only as much product as you need for your specific hair type and length. Using too much product could result in hair that is weighed down and looks greasy, rather than sleek and shiny. Allowing your hair to air/towel dry for at least part of the time will reduce the amount of heatand thus dryingendured by your hair. If you are able to straighten and style your hair to your satisfaction after allowing your hair to completely air/towel dry, this is a great option for reducing damage. Blow-drying your hair adds more heat, which can cause additional damage, but many people who straighten their hair also need to blow it dry to get the look they desire. To create volume, blow-dry by lifting at the roots. If you have thick hair, you will want to apply tension with a brush as you drythis will help to get the hair as smooth as possible. Do not attempt to straighten your hair until it is absolutely dry. If you hear a sizzle, stop!

SUMMARY:
Keep hair trimmed. Wash your hair. Apply your heat protector. Partially air/towel dry. Blow-dry your hair.
