In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Mindfulness can help reduce your stress in general because it requires you to focus all your attention on what you are doing. This can help you reduce stress by allowing you to think about what and when you are eating. When you are focused on your food, you have less time to think about the things stressing you and more time to enjoy your food. Practice mindfulness in all of your activities. Instead of multi-tasking, focus on what you are doing in the moment. Being mindful when you are eating will help you recognize when you are full and enjoy your food more. For example, when you are preparing a meal or eating, slow down and take the time to pay attention to the colors, textures, smells, and flavors of your food. For instance, you could say to yourself, "This couscous feels really grainy and smells fragrant with all the spices." One of the best things you can do to fight stress, in addition to eating well, is to be physically active. Physical activity not only boosts your mood but it also aids in digestion, which means all the nutrients that you are eating will have an effect on your stress levels quicker. So make sure that you are getting regular physical activity. Try going for a walk after you eat lunch or dinner to help your food digest. Go hiking or biking once or twice a week. Take a healthy, energy boosting snack like almonds and dried cranberries with you. Participate in a team sport like volleyball, rugby, baseball, or cricket. Being around other people can encourage you to stay active. Journaling is great for reducing stress because it gives you the opportunity to honestly express how you are feeling about the things going on in your life. You can also your journal to keep track of which foods seem to help you fight stress better. Write about the things that happen in your life, as well as how you feel about these things. Try to keep a log of what you eat when you are stressed so that you have an idea of the foods that are most (or least)effective in helping you fight stress. You can also write about how eating makes you feel or your experience with eating mindfully. For example, you might write, "It was really enjoyable to taste the blend of flavors and textures in the fruit salad."
Summary: Be more mindful. Get active. Keep a journal.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your foam project is large and flat, you'll be better off with a paint roller of around 9in (23cm), which can cover a high amount of space in a short time. A paint roller that's 9in (23cm) will cost around $7 (4.95) at a hardware store. You'll also need a foam cover, which will cost around $5 (3.55), and a paint tray, which will cost around $2 (1.42). Pour the paint slowly into the tray and fill up the small basin, making sure you've left the screen (the ridged, tilted area inside the tray) free of paint. You'll be using this screen to scrape excess paint off of your roller, so make sure you haven't filled it with paint. Latex paint will be the easiest to apply with a roller, and you can get 1USgal (3.8l) of it for about $20 (14.12) at a hardware store. Slide the foam cover onto the paint roller and spin it several times to make sure that it will roll upon the surface you're painting. If your roller doesn't spin, you may need to return it to the store. Alternatively, try using some WD-40 on the spinning barrel. Dip your paint roller about 12in (1.3cm) into the paint, then roll it back and forth 2-3 times against the screen. Scraping your roller against the screen will help even out the paint on the roller, which will reduce the likelihood of lumps on the foam. Roll your paint around the edges of your project, ensuring that you've painted every corner. Once that's done, roll the roller up and down the length of the project until the paint is smooth and covers the foam. When your paint begins to thin out, reload the paint by dipping your roller into the tray and scraping it on the screen again. Latex paint should be allowed to dry for at least an hour. If you don't give the paint an hour, your roller will just roll the old paint around, instead of layering new paint on top. Apply a second coat the same way you applied the first, being sure to scrape excess paint off of the roller. If, after the second coat, you feel your project needs a third or fourth coat, apply them in the same way, waiting at least an hour between coats. Latex paint needs days to cure (reach its full hardness). Leave the foam project in a warm room to dry for up to 30 days before handling it. If 30 days is too long, you can handle the project within 24 hours; just know that some paint might move around if you do so.
Summary: Paint with a paint roller for large, flat projects. Pour latex paint into the tray and fill the small basin at the bottom. Slide the cover onto the paint roller and spin it. Dip the roller into the paint, then scrape it against the screen. Paint the foam's outside edges first, then sweep up and down its length. Wait 1-2 hours for the paint to dry. Apply a second coat of paint. Wait up to 30 days for the latex paint to cure.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . A successful poet needs to learn about traditional poetic forms and be comfortable writing within strict guidelines as well as free-verse. Can you write a couple lines in iambic tetrameter if the poem calls for it? What about a villanelle? Studying traditional forms will make you a better reader and a better writer. Many schools, community centers, and libraries offer after-school poetry workshops as an extra-curricular activity for reasonable prices, where you can read others' work, study poetry, and participate in a poetry workshop. In a workshop, you'll all share new work and critique everyone's work in a welcoming environment. It can be a great way to improve drastically, both by getting an experienced teacher and other poets' feedback. At the college level, studying poetry is a fundamental part of any creative writing program, and most English departments offer a wide variety of poetry courses that a successful poet would be foolish not to pursue. It's a sad truth: more poetry is published every successive year, and less of it is read by the average reader. There are literally hundreds of high-quality literary magazines publishing poets like you, people who engage with poems, love reading them, and want their voice to be heard. Book prizes are also common, for a small reading fee. If you've got enough poems to put a book together, try entering your manuscript and seeing what happens. You might even win some money. Walt Whitman worked as an ambulance driver and a nurse while he wrote his classic American poems, while Frank O'Hara worked at an art museum and wrote poems on his lunch break. Many poets seek careers in academic fields, while others become musicians, truck drivers, or parents. Whatever you do, keep writing your poems, and take your art seriously. " Amiri Baraka, mid-century American Poet and performer, famously offered the advice that poets should read their poems to construction workers on their lunch break, and that if they didn't get beaten over the head, they might actually have something. It's good advice. There's a lot of noise in the world, and your rhyming poem about a bird on your windowsill might have a hard time cutting through the noise. A successful poet finds some way to do just that.
Summary:
Study forms Consider studying poetry formally. Research venues that will publish your work. Figure out how you're going to make money. "Read your poems to a construction worker on his lunch break.
