Lacking an understanding of your personal values is like going on a trip without a GPS or a map of any kind. Values help us navigate through different circumstances, so that we lead a life that is personally fulfilling. To figure out some of your personal values, answer the following: Which individuals have your greatest respect? What traits do they hold that you admire and why? If your home were on fire (any people and animals are already considered safe), what 3 objects would you save and why? What moments in your life were incredibly satisfying? What about the moment made you feel satisfied? After you have narrowed down a short list of important values, you must develop S.M.A.R.T goals that support these values. Once you have developed goals that allow you to live out your values, do one thing that lets you move toward these goals daily. S.M.A.R.T. goals are: Specific - clearly answer the "who, what, when, where, which, and why" Measurable - outline how you will assess your progress towards the goal Attainable - able to be achieved with the resources, skills, and abilities you have Realistic - the goal provides a challenge but also represents an objective that you are both willing and able to meet Timely - the determined time-frame must be feasible, while including some urgency The most common mental barriers to getting things done are often what we are telling ourselves on a daily basis. If asked why you haven't reached a particular goal, your response is because all the variables are not perfectly in place. These are excuses and you must remove them from the equation in order to achieve your goals. Remove excuses by getting serious with yourself. Whatever you are using as an excuse is probably just a way to protect yourself from having to change. Setting SMART goals should help you to alleviate some of your excuses. For others, such as not having time, money, or resources, closely examine your life to determine what you can afford to cut out. Remove an insignificant activity or cost to prioritize a significant one. Don't wait until all the variables fall magically into place. Purposefully change your life so that it supports you reaching your goals.

summary: Identify your values and beliefs. Set goals that align with your personal values. Eliminate excuses.

You should see a doctor if you believe you're at risk for trichomoniasis. He or she can perform a routine STD test to check for the condition. Your health care provider will take a swab of your urethra and send it to a lab for testing. It may be painful to urinate after a swab is taken. It may take a few days before results are ready and may even take up to a week if the lab is busy. Many labs can perform a urine test for multiple common STDs, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. As the symptoms of many other common STDs are similar to those of trichomoniasis, it's a good idea to get a full panel test. Also, if you're worried you're at risk because you've had unprotected sex you'll be at risk for other infections as well. You should wait two to three weeks after a sexual encounter before getting tested, however, as it will take a while for viruses to be detectable. Medical treatment for trichomoniasis is necessary. It can be cured with a single dose of prescription antibiotics that are taken orally. Ask your doctor about medication. Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours after receiving treatment. About 1 in 5 people get infected with trichomoniasis again within three months of treatment. Make sure you know how to prevent outbreaks in the future. Use a latex condom if you have sex with a new partner. While condoms do not completely eliminate the risk of STDs they do dramatically reduce it. Make sure you wait until all symptoms of a previous infection pass before having sex again. Talk to your partner about STDs. It's a good idea for both of you to get tested together before engaging in sexual activity.

summary: Get an STD test. Seek treatment. Prevent outbreaks in the future.

For example, 57.01 is large than 46.99 because the whole number components of the decimals are the first place to check when comparing the values. No matter how many digits are to the right of the decimal, if the value to the left of the decimal point for one number is larger than the value for another number with decimals, the first number is larger. Here is another example. Comparing 55.95 with 57.28, because 57 is larger than 55, 57.28 is larger than 55.95. One more example: Comparing 42.349 with 47.32, because 47 is larger than 42, 47.32 is larger than 42.349. If the numbers to the left of the decimal point are the same, compare the digits to the right of the decimal point to see which decimal is the larger number. When the number of digits is different, this can be tricky. Comparing 12.57 and 12.75, because 75 is larger than 57, 12.75 is larger than 12.57. (You can also look at just the first digits after the decimal points; because 7 is larger than 5, you again see that 12.75 is larger than 12.57.) Comparing 14.92 and 14.092, you can see that the second decimal has three digits after the decimal point. However, by looking at the first digits only, you see that 9 is larger than 0, so 14.92 is larger than 14.092. You can also write a zero after the "2" in 14.92 to make it 14.920; because 920 is larger than 92, again 14.92 is the larger number.
summary: Compare the numbers to the left of the decimal point. Compare the numbers to the right of the decimal point.
