6When making your New Year’s resolution,make sure that they are S.M.A.R.T: Specific,Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely.By doing so, you will be able to accomplishthem, have a guideline to know how success-ful you are, not get discouraged, and know ifyou’ve met the time you’ve wanted to accom-plish them by.
Specific goals have a much greater chance of being
accomplished than a general goal.
According to morrobayfriendsoflibrary.org, you need tothink about the reporter’s questions of:
• Who: Who is involved?
• What: What do I want to accomplish?
• Where: Identify a location.
• When: Establish a time frame.
• Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
• Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.
According to self-esteem-enhances-life.com,
• Clear cut – that is clear and certain, so that there is nodoubt about it
• Concrete – but not set in tablets of stone
• Definite & real – as detailed as possible
• Distinctive – not easily misunderstood or misrepre-sented, distinguishable
• Individual, particular, special & unique to us whereverpossible to motivate us to get up and do something, sothat you’ll put your heart and soul into your efforts;
• Limited in scope from the viewpoint of clarity and under-standing of your particular goal is
• Precise as you can make it.
How will specifying what you want help? Bydefining, and describing your goals in as much detail aspossible, you’ll be able to break them down into steps andmilestones along the way. By knowing your starting point,parameters and destination, it will help create focus anddirection for your efforts and avoid wasting time and en-
ergy needlessly. Once you know what is necessary whatto do and how to do it, you can start doing what needs tobe done.
Measurable - Establish concrete ways of measuring
progress toward the goal(s) you set. If you measure yourprogress, you’re more likely to stay on track. You find outwhat your progress is, whether you’re moving towards it,regressing, or wasting energy needlessly.
When determining if your goal(s) are measura-ble, ask questions such as: How much? How many? Howwill I know when it is accomplished?
Measurable goals can be broken down into a se-ries of steps. If you continue what you’re doing will youachieve your goal(s)? If you have to change to meet yourgoal, are you ready, willing and able to adapt?
Self-esteem-enhances-life.com suggests the followingquestions to help measure your goal:
• What needs to develop - if anything - for you to achieveyour goal?
• Will you have to grow or breakthrough previous barriersto accomplish your goal? If so what does the growth looklike, what are the barriers and how will you accomplishyour goal”?
• Will achieving our goal be a real milestone (or quicklyforgotten)? What will be the real gain from your success?
• Will your goal really promote the side of life you wouldlike it to? Will your achievement allow you to blossom inlife? Will you better yourselves throughout and not just atthe conclusion?
• Will your progression be steady or in spurts and starts?
• Will you be able to quantify the real gains you achieveduring the goal achieving process? Or are you left thinkingwhy did I bother?
Attainable - by identifying goals that are most important
to you, you begin to figure out ways to accomplish them,developing mindset, abilities, and skills to reach them. If fi-nances are an obstacle, you find a way around them. Yousee opportunities where you once saw nothing of value.
Most any goal is attainable when you set aproper timeframe and plan intelligently. Out of reach goalseventually become attainable because you grow and ex-pand to match them.

questions to help you determine if your goal is attainable:
• What might stand in your way?
− The difficulty of the venture− We are not excited by our task− We are not motivated by our target
• Can you visualize yourself achieving the goal?
• Do you feel capable of accomplishing your task?
• Do you feel tour goal is a step too far?
If you set a too high a standard or set the bar toohigh you may be setting yourself up for failure. To succeedyou need to feel confident about the task, know your capa-bilities, realize that you have the abilities to achieve ouraim, have the confidence to act, be motivated by the goalto proceed with energy and vigor, and give ourselves abreak and not beat yourself up if you don't come throughfirst time.
But just because something is attainable, doesn’tnecessarily mean you should set out to attaining it. Settinggoals that could lead to negative experiences, includingthose negatively impact your confidence, self esteem orimage, feeling of self worth, or cause you to become de-motivated in other areas, or inhibit other future goalsshould all be avoided.
Realistic goals, according to topachievement.com,
must represent something that you are “both willing andable to work towards.” By being realistic, you have a fight-ing chance at accomplishing your goals. You can alwaysrevise your goals later on to meet higher standards,
if you accomplish your original goal. A more chal-lenging goal frequently is easier to accomplish than aneasier one because chances are likely that you’re going tobe more motivated to reach the higher or more difficultgoal compared to a lower one. Also, some of the hardestthings in life seem easy simply because they are labors oflove.
Realistic goals should be grounded in reality andpractical. They should be made understanding both yourstrengths AND weaknesses. They should help you useyour true capabilities and talents. They should embraceour value system and help you to live it.
Self-esteem-enhances-life.com suggests the fol-lowing questions to help you determine if your goal is real-istic:
• Do you have the knowledge and experience to overcome
the obstacles to get to your goal? If not, what informationor experience do you need? How will you go about gettingit?
• Does this goal represent what you really want and thedirection in which you want your life to go?
• Will this help you as a person and/or help contributesomething to the greater good?
• What needs to be in place for your goal to be achieved?What are the essentials?
• What will your reaching your goal provide for yourself orothers? Will they provide:
− satisfaction− enjoyment− fulfillment− happiness− growth− raised feeling of well being− sense of real harmony in your life− more comfortable within yourself− greater belief and confidence in yourself
If you can’t adequately answer any of these questions,you need to reexamine the goal.
Timely (or Time Bound) – Goals should be grounded
within some sort of a time frame.
When making a New Year’s Resolution,S.M.A.R.T goals are the way to go.
Specificity will give you the tools to know whereyou’re starting;
Measurable will let you know when you’ve gottenthere;
Attainable and Realistic will allow you to keepgrounded and not get discouraged when the going getstough.
Timely goals will let you know how long you haveto accomplish your goal.
With a bit of planning, perseverance, and meas-urable milestones, you’ll be on your way to accomplishingyour resolutions. Good luck on accomplishing your resolu-tions. Happy New Years all!
Preventative Medicine: How to Avoid Getting Colds & the Flu By Cathy Johnson
8Prevention is the best medicine. To avoid feel-ing miserably, why not prevent yourself fromgetting sick in the first place? As there are noknown “cures” for the common cold and flu,prevention should be your goal. A proactiveapproach to warding off colds and flu is apt tomake your whole life healthier.
Get the flu vaccine.
Many people qualify for the nasal vaccine, so
if you don’t like needles, there’s not an excuse. Accord-ing to the CDC “The single best way to protect againstthe flu is to get vaccinated each year.” The vaccineprotects against three strains and can change each
yearly based on scientist’educated “guesswork.”
Wash your handsoften.
Germs spread be-cause someone sneezesinto their hands touchessomething else, is pickedup by the next person whotouches the same object. Cough & Sneeze into atissue then throw it awayimmediately, or the insideof your elbow to avoidspreading germs
Don't Touch YourFace.
Or wash yourhands when you do.Viruses enter your bodythrough the eyes, nose, ormouth.
Keep hydrated.
Take your bodyweight and divide it in half.That is the minimum num-ber of ounces of fluids youneed to drink. Can’t drinkthat many? Strive to drinkat least eight 8-ounceglasses of fluids each day.How can you tell if you're
getting enough liquid? If your urine is almost clear,you're getting enough. If it's dark yellow, you needmore fluids. Try plain water, fruit juices, sports-or-chil-dren’s rehydrating drinks, ginger ale, flat soda, andchicken soup.
Take a Sauna
According to “11 Natural Tips to Prevent aCold” on webmd.com “Researchers aren't clear aboutthe exact role saunas play in prevention, but one 1989German study found that people who steamed twice aweek got half as many colds as those who didn't. Onetheory: When you take a sauna you inhale air hotterthan 80 degrees, a temperature too hot for cold and fluviruses to survive.”
Regularly Exercise Aerobically.
Doing so increases the heart rate, breathing,makes you sweat, and improves your immune systemEat Colorful foods especially dark green, red, and yel-low vegetables and fruits.
Eat probiotic containing foods.
“Probiotic bacteria,” are living microorganismsthat help the immune system, among other benefits.According to “Probiotics Found to Help Your Gut's Im-mune System” on articles.mercola.com “80% of yourimmune system is located in your digestive system,making a healthy gut a major focal point….[A] robustimmune system is your #1 defense system against ALLdisease.” Yogurt is one such food. Don’t like yogurt?Take a probiotic available at health food stores.
The following foods are also probiotic rich:Pickles, Kombucha Tea (fermented tea), Natto (fer-mented soybeans), Kinchi (spicy Korean condimentmade of cabbage), Miso (fermented soybeans in Kojifungus), Tempeh (cake made of dehulled soybeans fer-meted in rhizopus oligosporus fungu), Saurkraut,Dairy/ Water Kefir (fermented milk with Kefir grain),and dark chocolate.

9Don't Smoke & don’t allow others to smokearound you.
Or quit if you do. Smokers tend to get morecolds both more frequently severe. According to “11Natural Tips to Prevent a Cold” on webmd.com “Evenbeing around smoke profoundly zaps the immune sys-tem.” Smoke, even second hand, dries out your nasalpassages and paralyze the delicate hairs that line themucous membranes in your nose and lungs removeviruses from the nasal passages for up to 40 minutesper cigarette.
Take Vitamin C.
Researchers found out that 200 milligrams ormore of vitamin C reduces the cold’s duration by 8% inadults and by 14% in children. What that means isadults would suffer 11 days instead of 12 and childrenwould suffer 24 instead of 28 per year. Researchersfound that the number colds on average were reduced,on average, by 50% for those exposed to significantcold and/or physical stress such as marathon runners,skiers and soldiers.
Take Vitamin D.Low levels of vitamin D are linked to more fre-
quent colds. People with healthy lungs vitamin D defi-ciency results in an extra cold yearly. People withbreathing problems suffer more colds than most and avitamin D deficiency might exasperate the problem.
Take Vitamin E
if you’re over 65. According to a 2004 studypeople age 65 who took vitamin E were 20-percentless likely to develop respiratory infections and 22-per-cent less likely to develop colds compared with thosewhich took a placebo. It may help the general popula-tion as well.
Take Zinc
Never take zinc and vitamin C at the sametime, however, because they will cancel out eachother’s cold-fighting benefits. And never take morethan 40 mg of zinc a day because higher amounts cancause dizziness and nausea.
Gargle with water.
According to the article “Does Gargling withWater Prevent Colds” on webmd.com Participants in aJapan study were told to gargle with water at least
three times a day were 36% less likely to get colds.
Relax.By teaching yourself to relax, you can activate
your immune system “on-demand.” Picture an imageyou find pleasant or calming and do this 30 minutesdaily several months.
Cut Alcohol Consumption.
Heavy alcohol use suppresses the immunesystem in a variety of ways. It also dehydrates thebody.
Remember Each of These Things is Cumula-tive. No single one of these things can completely pre-vent you from getting sick, but when combined willkeep you healthier overall.

A country preacher decided to skip services one Sunday and head to
the hills to do some bear hunting. As he rounded the corner on a per-
ilous twist in the trail, he collided with a bear, sending him and his rifle
tumbling down the mountainside. His rifle went one way, and he went
the other, landing on a rock and breaking both legs.
That was the good news. The bad news was the ferocious bear was
charging at him, and he couldn't move.
"Oh, Lord," the preacher prayed, "I'm so sorry for skipping services
today to come out here and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just
one wish: Please make a Christian out of that bear that's coming at me.
Please,Lord!"
That very instant the bear skidded to a halt, fell to its knees, clasped its
paws together and began to pray aloud at the preacher's feet: "Dear
God, bless this food I am about to receive..."

The Best LieA clergyman was walk-ing down the streetwhen he came upon a
group of about adozen boys, all ofthem between 10and 12 years ofage. The groupsurrounded a dog.Concerned lest theboys were hurtingthe dog, he wentover and asked"What are youdoing with thatdog?"One of the boysreplied, "This dogis just an oldneighborhoodstray. We all wanthim, but only oneof us can take himhome. So we've de-cided whichever oneof us can tell thebiggest lie willget to keep thedog."Of course, theReverend wastaken aback."You boys should-n't be having a con-test telling lies!"he exclaimed.He then launchedinto a ten minutesermon against
lying, beginning, "Don'tyou boys know it's asin to lie?" and endingwith, "Why, when I wasyour age, I never tolda lie."There was dead silencefor about a minute.Just as the Reverendwas beginning to thinkhe'd gotten throughto them, the smallestboy gave a deep sighand said, "All right,give him the dog."

CAN YUO RAED TIHS? AMAZNIG ISN’T IT? SO CAN THUOSNADS OF OTHRES! ADVRETZE WIHT US TDOAY!
It’s the New Year and it’s timestart on your resolutions; insteadof buying something, why not tryto repurpose something else to fitthe same purpose?
Getting in Shape
Instead of going out and buyingweights, you can take empty cleaned-out, handled quart, half gallon, and gal-lon milk containers and fill with sand/kitty litter. Use these as you would dumb-bells. Further, instead of buying a fancyshifting weight like you see on TV, shakethese weights the same way.
Think playground equipment isjust for kids? Think again. You can usethe equipment to climb on, stretch, andpull-ups, etc (provided they’re sturdyenough for your weight and you’re notthere during school hours). Use it as youwould an obstacle course. Don’t have aplayground near you or don’t want to goto the playground? Set up your own ob-stacle course around your yard usingstuff you have lying around.
Instead of investing in an “exer-cise step,” you can take a couple of con-crete blocks, some caulk/ industrial–strength adhesive and a sturdy board tomake your own. Make sure the surfaceyou have it on is level.
A further benefit is that if youdon’t want a permanent setup, movingthe blocks and board is exercise in andof itself.
Instead of going somewhere inthe car, why not repurpose your trip intoexercise. Ride your bike, walk, jog, andski or snowshoe (if there’s snow on theground). If you can’t because it’s too far,park further away and walk an extra dis-tance. Stride purposefully through thestore (making sure not to run anyoneover with your cart!)
Repurpose your lunch break totake a walk or an exercise class insteadof eating. You’ll eat less and have more
energy throughout the day.
Get Out of Debt
There are a few things you can do to
repurpose to help your finances.
Coffee & Going out to eat:
Instead of buying coffee, makeyour own at home and save a minimumof $3 daily. Buying lunches also gets ex-pensive. If you bring a sack lunch, youcan save a minimum of $5 daily, plus po-tential gas costs. Repurposing part ofyour morning to get coffee togetherahead of time and a lunch made out ofleftovers, over a year’s time can save$780 in coffee costs, and $1,300 in lunchcosts.
These costs are multiplied ifyou go out for breakfast or dinner whenthere are likely more mouths to feed.Plan ahead and buy your food at the gro-cery store to save money. An addedbonus to avoid going out to eat is thatyou know exactly what’s in your food andcan choose healthier options.
Grow your own food:
Another way to save money isto grow your own food. Repurpose partof your yard specifically for gardening.You can even garden during the wintermonths using indoor container gardens.
It’s an especially good idea forsmall things like hot peppers and freshherbs. To help out your garden, repur-pose your vegetable peelings, rottenfruits and vegetables, etc into compost.
Get a second job, ask for morehours, or get a different job: By repurpos-ing some of your free time into gettinganother job, working longer hours, orgetting a second job, you increase theamount of money you make and that canbe put towards your bills. If you’re luckyyou may even get a job that offers bene-fits or increased pay. It might mean youneed to get up earlier or go to bed later,but it’ll be worth it to get out of debt.

CAN YUO RAED TIHS? AMAZNIG ISN’T IT? SO CAN THUOSNADS OF OTHRES! ADVRETZE WIHT US TDOAY!
Get Organized
Repurpose old shutters into adocument and mail storage unit byscrewing to the walls and using the“slats” to hold mail and other paperworkthat you want to keep track of and closeat hand for necessity. You can also repur-pose an old record holder to create a fil-ing system or to hold mail as well.
Instead of throwing them out,consider repurposing old dressers intostorage units, making them everythingfrom seating with storage beneath tobookshelves to storage for old trunks.
You can repurpose old boxes,baskets, and drawers into storage. Re-purpose old ice cube trays, an old eggcarton, muffin pans, and glass jars tostore small knickknacks. Glass jars canalso be mounted on the wall to hold bath-room necessities, or filled with spices,teas, or on a desk as an office supplyholder.
Quit a bad habit
Repurpose the time that youwould do something that you don’t wantto do to something that you DO want todo. For instance, if you want to quitsmoking and lose weight, take the timeyou would normally smoke to go for awalk or plan healthy meals. If you want toquit smoking and learn something new,
take a community college class duringthe time you’d normally smoke. Theideas for such a switch are virtually end-less.
Time management
Instead of working on a taskand letting yourself get distracted, repur-pose an old kitchen timer to remind youto get back on task. Set it for 10-to-15minute intervals. If, when the alarm goesoff, you find yourself not on task, getback on task.
If you need to leave by a certaintime, in addition to the alarm clock inyour room to wake you up, repurpose analarm clock by your front door to go offwhen you need to leave. Make sure toturn it off before you head out the door.
Be less stressed/ Enjoy life more
Both of these things require re-purposing of time. Instead of trying to doeverything to “keep up with the Jones,”do what you must do for now and learnto leave some things undone in order tocarve out time for yourself. Whether it’smaking time for exercise, or just sometime for play or read the newspaper or abook, carving out time to do so is an im-portant first step for balance in life.
These are just a few ideas onrepurposing. More repurposing ideasnext time.
