Write an article based on this "Forgive yourself for your past relationship mistakes. Embrace self-love. Tell yourself you deserve someone who wants the same things you do. Take a step toward a goal you have. Do one nice thing for yourself each day. Focus on the positive things in your life. Work out your feelings through exercise. Tend to your self-care. Begin dating again only when you’re ready."
article: Everyone makes mistakes! Don’t beat yourself up for the issues in your relationships. Think about the lessons you’ve learned instead.  Write down how each relationship has improved you. Recognize the work you put into the relationship. Instead of trying to find love, give love to yourself. List the things you love about yourself, including your personality, body, and talents. Use positive self-talk to create a good outlook about yourself.  To use positive self-talk, notice when you’re telling yourself negative things. Replace those thoughts with honest, positive statements. You can also use positive affirmations. Date yourself! Go to the movies, go out for coffee, eat dinner in a nice restaurant, go for a nice walk in the park, or get tickets to a concert you’ve always wanted to see. You and your ex broke up for a reason. Even if you didn’t want to break up, it’s important to remember your ex had their reasons. They may not have wanted the same things you did, and they clearly didn’t love you as much as you deserve. Look for the person who will.  Make a list of everything you want in a relationship and how your ex didn’t fulfill those needs. If you broke off the relationship, remember why you wanted to part ways. This will help you direct your energies toward personal fulfillment, not your ex. Even a tiny step toward your goal can help you feel better. Do something easy, then keep up the momentum! Break your goal into small, manageable steps. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon, you might start by training for a 5K. You deserve a treat! This will help you feel better about your life and yourself. Here are some ideas:  Go out for lunch. Spend time on a hobby. Do something relaxing, like going for a nature walk or getting a massage. Buy yourself a coffee. Pick up a dessert to go. Buy yourself something you’ve been eyeing. Instead of looking at what you don’t have, meaning your ex, take note of what’s going well in your life. Think about your career, friendships, hobbies, goals, etc. Here are some things to consider:  Look at your life the way you’re looking at your ex. Turn your own highlight reel into a story about how well your life is going. If you’re having trouble finding things to celebrate, ask those closest to you to help point out the good things in your life. Chances are they’ll be able to list off several awesome things you’re overlooking! Get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Choose an exercise that lets you blow off some steam, like kickboxing, dancing, or running.  You might try high-intensity training or interval training. The high intensity portions of the workout will allow you to release built up emotions. The recovery periods will give you time to catch your breath. If you’re not used to exercising, work your way up to it gradually. For example, you might start by walking for 10 minutes a day. Working with a trainer can also help. When you’re going through a tough time, it’s normal to neglect your self-care. However, it’s extremely important that you take care of yourself. Give yourself the care you need, such as the following:  Maintain your sleep schedule. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Soak in the bathtub. Engage in relaxing activities. Don’t rush into a new relationship or go out looking for a one-night stand. While there’s nothing wrong with exploring the dating scene, wait until you’re fully ready. Not giving yourself enough time to recover will only make you feel worse.

article: How might you rewrite one of Pacino's monologues from Scent of a Woman to make it comedic? What if you had to rewrite Quint's story in such a way as to suggest that he might be a liar? Comic writing is difficult because it has much less to do with the content of the writing and much more to do with the presentation of them.  As an exercise, try rewriting "angry" monologues to play them up for humor. Comedy and drama share borderlines, making this more do-able than it may seem. Gabriel Davis is a modern playwright with a great talent for humor and witty scenarios with humor built into them. A woman who eats her divorce papers? A man who decides to have a bar mitzvah at the age of 26? Check. Check out his frequent use of monologues for comedic effect. A good monologue won't necessarily be all funny or all serious. Like you want to vary the anger-level of a fight scene, putting funny content into an otherwise tragic situation will leaven the drama with a laugh and help to make the audience feel something complicated. That's what good comedy does. The films of Martin Scorsese are often notable for combining extremely funny moments with moments of high tension. Jake LaMotta's monologues while preparing to go on stage in Raging Bull are simultaneously humorous and heartbreaking. Successful comic monologues generally won't involve toilet humor or bodily functions, unless the other aspects of the drama somehow dictate it. Building in a sense of irony, sarcasm, and some sort of complexity into the humor will make it much more successful and interesting to the general audience. Before you write a monologue, decide where it will start and where it will end, even going as far as to write the first and the last sentence; have some idea of how long you'd like the monologue to be, and then filling in the middle space. How would you finish the following first and last lines of a potential monologue?  Your dog is dead. / Wipe that stupid grin off your face! What is your mother's problem? / I'm not going to Skype with a cat in the room. Where's the godforsaken half-and-half? / Forget it, forget it, forget it, I'm taking the horse. Come on, just this once. / I'm never going back to church.

Take over-the-counter antacids. Get a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) over the counter or by prescription. Make an appointment with your doctor."

This will give your body time to digest the food. If you lie down too quickly, undigested food in your stomach can cause heartburn. If your heartburn symptoms occur while you sleep, elevate the head of your bead. Raise the head of your bed 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) off of the ground by placing blocks or books under the feet of your bed. Keeping your head elevated will significantly reduce your heartburn symptoms at night. Wear clothes that do not fit too tight. Tight-fitting clothes place pressure on your lower esophageal sphincter and abdomen. The pressure on your abdomen can cause frequent heartburn, which can lead to GERD. Because smoking weakens your lower esophageal sphincter’s ability to function, it can cause increase heartburn. If you experience heartburn after smoking, this is a sign that you need to either stop or cut back on smoking significantly if you do not want to develop GERD. Over-the-counter antacids like Tums, Rolaids, and Mylanta work by neutralizing your stomach acid. H-2-receptor blocker medications like Pepcid AC, Zantac, and Axid AR help to reduce the amount of acid in your stomach. Take these medications to treat mild to moderate GERD symptoms once or twice a week.  Use the medications exactly as described on the label. In many cases, you may need to take the medication 30 minutes before or up to 1 hour after you eat.  Avoid overusing antacids since overuse can lead to kidney problems and diarrhea. PPIs are medications that reduce how much acid your stomach produces. PPIs include medications like Prevacid, Prilosec, and Nexium. You can buy these over the counter at a drugstore or pharmacy. Stronger versions may need a prescription from your doctor.  Read the instructions on the label of the medication to learn how much you should take. Typically, you will need to take the PPI once or twice a day for up to 14 days. A second course may be needed. Long-term use of PPIs can result in magnesium deficiency or an increased risk of bone fracture. If you experience frequent or severe heartburn symptoms or take over-the-counter heartburn medications more than twice a week, contact your doctor. Your doctor will assess your symptoms and the severity of your symptoms.  GERD can also be caused by not having enough stomach acid. Low stomach acid may cause bacterial growth or poor digestion that might give you heartburn.  Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe you prescription-strength H-2-receptor blockers or proton pump inhibitors. GERD is not a condition itself. Rather, it is a symptom of other conditions. Your doctor can help you diagnose the cause of your GERD.
