Ask yourself what you need to start working towards your goal, doing online research to get ideas. Draw up a list and get the items as soon as you can so you can get started. If you are looking to exercise more, for example, make sure you chart a good running path. If you want to learn a programming language, equip your desk with an instructional book and a quality computer. You can even make this the very first step in your goal, which will help you feel like you're already working towards it. Don't overwhelm yourself by trying to change everything at once. Start with your first, most manageable goal and get into a steady routine before adding more into the mix. Starting small lets you work your way up to the greatest challenges. Think about learning a language: you start with basic vocabulary before you try to read a novel. You'll likely hit a few challenging moments in pursuit of your goals. Going through them with someone you trust, like a friend or family member, can give you strength, motivation, and even make it fun. You can also find a shared interest group, either local or online, especially if you're learning a specific skill or working toward a more common goal. You can speak and practice with others who understand your ambitions and may be able to help find creative solutions. For some goals, you might want a partner who can challenge you and push you to be your best. If you want a running buddy, find someone who can make it just a block or two farther than you. If you want a study buddy for a new subject, ask a peer who has taken a related course before. Any major goal will feel daunting at first. Instead of getting overwhelmed by everything you have to do, take it one step at a time. Focus on completing the first item on your schedule without worrying about the next one, then move on once you've completed it. If you start feeling overwhelmed, break your goals down even further. If you found a course you want to try, sign up for the class. If you found a professional with whom you want to work, make an appointment to see them. Find small rewards for those moments when you act on your goals. Try to find things that you truly enjoy, and use them to congratulate yourself on your hard work. Creating a reward system will help you stay motivated and excited to work towards your goal. Try something like playing your favorite song, taking a long bath, watching an episode of your favorite show, or something else that you enjoy to motivate yourself in the early stages of your goal.

Q: The spray can cause extreme irritation if it hits the eyes directly. If your dog shows signs of eye irritationfrequently pawing at the eyes, reddened and tearing eyes, eye swelling, squinting, or hard-to-open eyestry to rinse your dog's eyes carefully with plain tap water. You should also immediately contact a veterinarian. Dogs can also inhale the spray, leading to irritation to the respiratory system, including the nose. This may cause sneezing, nasal discharge, or drooling. Contact a veterinarian immediately if you notice these symptoms after a skunk encounter. While the spray of skunks does not carry the rabies virus, skunks are big carriers of rabies. Any time a dog encounters a skunk, there is a chance of exposure to the virus. Consult with your veterinarian after your dog has been sprayed to discuss a rabies vaccine booster to keep your pet safe. A very rare but serious condition called Heinz body hemolytic anemia can occur in a dog sprayed by a skunk. This is an emergency. A veterinarian must treat the dog for this potentially life-threatening condition. Signs of the anemia include pale mucous membranes, rapid heartbeat, panting, or a weak pulse. In a more gradual onset, the dog may be lethargic, weak, and refuse to eat. Signs can occur up to a few days after the dog has been sprayed by the skunk.
A: Watch for eye irritation. Pay attention for respiratory irritation. Follow up with a rabies vaccine booster. Watch for lethargy, weakness, or loss of appetite.

Article: An aquarium can be a good choice to keep mice. If you opt for an aquarium, make sure it's at least 10 gallons (about 38 liters) and has a mesh lid to prevent a mouse from escaping. If you have one to three mice, a bigger aquarium is necessary. Four to five mice need at least a 15 gallon (about 58 liters) aquarium. Five to six mice need a 20 gallon (about 78 liters) aquarium. In general, however, bigger is better for any mouse. Get as big of an aquarium as you can fit in your home. A wire cage is also an option for mice. While an aquarium is usually a better option, you can opt for a cage if you cannot find an aquarium. If you get a cage, make sure to select one that's safe for mice. The size of the cage should be at least 24 by 12 inches (about 61 by 30 centimeters). There should be no more than a quarter inch between wires, as this will prevent mice from escaping. Substrate is the material lining the bottom of the cage. For mice, opt for shredded paper that does not contain ink. Line this on the bottom of the cage. A few centimeters of substrate is adequate for a mouse. Mice are sensitive to heat and cold, so it's important to keep them in an area that's consistently room temperature. Do not put your mouse's enclosure next to heaters, furnaces, or other sources of heat. You should also avoid cold, drafty rooms. Certain types of houses are dangerous for mice. Never keep a mouse in a cardboard box or a wooden enclosure, as mice may chew through these materials. You should also be careful about mice habitats, with a lot of tubes and accessories, sold at pet stores. Mice can get trapped and injured in these kinds of enclosures. A mouse's enclosure needs daily cleaning. Each day, use a cat litter scoop to remove soiled bedding. Once a week, you should give the enclosure a thorough cleaning. Place your mice in a separate container. Remove all the bedding, any cardboard toys, and food and water bowls. Use dish washer detergent and water to wash the insides of the enclosure, as well as food and water bowls and plastic toys. Allow everything to dry completely. Replace all the bedding with new material. Place food and water bowls, as well as plastic toys, back in the cage. Discard old cardboard toys and replace them with new ones.
