For some people, blinking quickly and repeatedly can spread tears out and help them reabsorb into the tear duct, preventing initial tears from pooling. Conversely, for some people, not blinking and opening the eyes as wide as is comfortable actually discourages tears from forming by tensing the muscles in and around the eye area. Only practice will tell you which group you fall into. Because your tear ducts stem from the side of your nose to an opening in the eyelid, pinching the bridge of your nose and the sides while clamping your eyes closed can block the tear ducts. (This works best if used before tears begin to flow.) Studies have shown that smiling has a positive impact on emotional health. It also positively impact the way others view you. What's more, the act of smiling counteracts the symptoms of crying, making it easier for you to prevent tears. One way to dial back intense, unpleasant emotions is to take a moment to splash cold water on your face. Not only does it relax you, but it can boost your energy and make you more attentive. You can also drip cold water on your wrists and dab it behind you ears. Major arteries run through these areas just below the skin surface and cooling them can have a calming effect on the whole body. Research has shown that green tea contains L-Theanine, which can promote relaxation and decrease tension while also increasing awareness and focus. So the next time you find yourself overwhelmed, with tears welling up, treat yourself to a cup of green tea. Black tea also contains L-Theanine, but not as much. Laughter is an easy, inexpensive form of therapy that can improve your overall health and decrease feelings that lead to crying or depression. Find something that makes you laugh and give yourself some much needed relief. Crying occurs often as a product of prolonged tension.This process allows your body to relax tense muscles and calm your thinking. It is also a cognitive activity because it teaches you to recognize how your body feels when you are upset and tense versus when you are relaxed and calm. Starting at your toes, begin tensing the muscle groups of your body one at a time for 30 second intervals, working your way slowly upward to the head. This activity also has the added benefit of relieving insomnia and restless sleep. Research suggests that feelings of helplessness and passivity are often at the root of episodes of crying. To prevent crying, shift your body from passive to active. This can be something as simple as getting up and walking around the room, or opening and closing your hands with a slight squeeze to engage your muscles and remind your body that your actions are voluntary and you are in control.. (If you find yourself causing bruising or other physical harm, it is recommended that you discontinue this method and attempt to use one or more of the other tactics.) Physical pain distracts your senses from the root of your emotional pain, making you less likely to cry. You can pinch yourself (such as between your thumb and pointer finger, or on the back of your upper arm), bite your tongue, or pull your leg hairs from inside your pants pocket.

Q: When bananas are ripe, their skins look yellow. It's okay if you let the skins get spotted or brown before you freeze them, but don't freeze the bananas when their skins are still green. Try to have a little space between the pieces so they don't fuse together when they freeze. If you're trying to freeze a bunch of bananas at once, you may need multiple trays. To make it slightly easier to remove the banana slices, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper, but it will still be pretty easy to get the pieces off without it. The reason we freeze them on a baking sheet first is so they don't fuse together into a solid lump of frozen banana. Place the baking sheets covered in banana pieces into your freezer. You may have to rearrange the items in your freezer slightly to get the trays to fit. Check back on the bananas in about an hour. If they are not frozen solid, check again after another half an hour. You can check if they are done by poking a piece. If it's squishy, it needs more time. The next time you are making a beverage in the blender, pull a few pieces of frozen banana from the bag in your freezer. Just stick them in the blender and watch as they turn into a cold, creamy treat.
A: Let your bananas ripen before you freeze them. Place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze the bananas for an hour or until frozen. Use your frozen bananas in smoothies or milkshakes within 6 months.

Article: Hallucinations can affect any of your five sensessight, hearing, taste, smell, or touchand they can be caused by numerous underlying conditions. The perceptions must occur during a state of consciousness, however, and they will seem very real. Most hallucinations are disorienting and cause distress in those experiencing them, but some can seem pleasant or enjoyable. Hearing voices qualifies as an auditory hallucination, while seeing lights, people, or objects that aren't really there is a common visual hallucination. The sensation of "insects" or other objects crawling on the skin is a common hallucination of touch. High fevers have been known to cause hallucinations of all degrees, especially in children and the elderly. Even if you do not fall into either demographic, fever can still be a cause of some hallucinations, so it is worth checking for. Hallucinations can occur with any fever higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees Celsius), but they are more common when dealing with fevers higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Any fever higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) warrants immediate medical attention, regardless of whether or not it is accompanied by hallucinations. For fevers you can treat at home, begin by taking a fever-reducing medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Drink plenty of fluids and monitor your temperature regularly. Mild and moderate hallucinations can be caused by severe sleep deprivation. Severe hallucinations are generally caused by other conditions but can be aggravated by sleep deprivation, as well. The average adult should receive between seven and nine hours of sleep every night. If you are currently suffering from severe sleep deprivation, you may need to temporarily increase this amount by several hours until your body recovers. Sleeping during the day can disturb your usual sleep cycle and may trigger insomnia and hallucinations as a result. If your sleeping patterns are thrown off, you should try to establish a normal sleep pattern. Anxiety is another common cause of mild to moderate hallucinations, and it can also worsen severe hallucinations caused by other factors. As such, learning to minimize mental and physical stress can help reduce the frequency and severity of your hallucinations. Reduce physical stress by keeping yourself hydrated and well-rested. Regular light to moderate exercise can also improve your overall health and relieve your body of stress-related symptoms, including mild hallucinations. If you are unable to distinguish reality from hallucination, you should seek immediate emergency medical care. You should also schedule an appointment with your doctor if you experience mild hallucinations on a frequent basis, since they are probably caused by an underlying medical condition. This is especially true if taking general home measures to improve your health have no effect. If you experience hallucinations that are accompanied by other severe symptoms, you should also seek emergency medical care. Such symptoms include discolored lips or fingernails, chest pain, clammy skin, confusion, loss of consciousness, high fever, vomiting, abnormal pulse, breathing difficulties, injury, seizure, severe abdominal pain, or irrational behavior.
