In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Planning out your life can be an overwhelming task, and there are many different areas in your life to consider when planning. In order to get a better idea of what you'd like the future to look like, it is helpful to spend some time exploring what is fulfilling and meaningful to you. Some questions to start you thinking about in which direction you want your life to go include: What does success look like to you? Is it a certain job title or amount of money? Is it being creative? Is it having a family? What would your life look like if you had the power to change it right now? Where would you live? What would your career be? How would you spend your time? Who would you spend you time with? Whose life do you admire? What about the course of their life makes it appealing to you? Once you have explored what is meaningful to you through questioning and self-reflection, write down the answers you came up with in a sentence you can use as a guiding vision statement. Write it in the present tense, as if you've already accomplished it. An example of a vision statement may be: My life is successful because I am my own boss; I feel free everyday; I get to use my creativity; and I spend my time with my family. Because planning a life in a rapidly changing world can be difficult, you can use this sentence as a guiding principle as you try to map out your life keeping in mind that the specific job, place, or goal can fluctuate as long as your guiding vision, or what is most important to you, is being fulfilled. Your plan may not go in a straight line. Very rarely does something happen exactly as someone plans or expects. Life is full of curves, twist, and new opportunities. Life is also full of failures, but that doesn't mean you should give up. Be prepared to take action in baby steps. Learn from those actions and experiences as you move closer to your goal. You may run into dead ends in your life. You may end up with a job you think will put you in a better place, but it leads nowhere. You may get sidetracked by relationships and family. Just remember there is no timetable. Keep making small progress towards your goals and learn from every dead end and new development in your life. There may not be the perfect job, place, or opportunity already out there. If this is the case, you'll need to create that opportunity for yourself, even if doing so wasn't apart of your original plan. Understanding as you plan your life that you may have to make your goals happen can help mentally prepare you for any changes down the road. For example, if in the vision statement you want to be your own boss, this might mean teaching at a dance studio or being a consultant at a large firm. Both of these satisfy the deepest need of feeling free because you are your own boss.
Summary: Determine what is meaningful to you. Construct a guiding vision statement. Take it slow. Be prepared to create your own opportunities.

Unlike diarrhea, there are few home treatment options for constipation. If constipation is caused by a mild issue, like a dietary change, it may clear up on its own. Therefore, the best method for at-home treatment is to watch and wait. If the constipation does not clear up within a day or two, you should take your pet to the vet's for evaluation. If constipation lasts longer than a day or two, you may need to see a vet. Keep track of bowel movements over the next two days to see if symptoms clear up or improve. For cats, you can monitor bowel movements via the litter box. Make sure to change the litter each day and watch for fresh stools. Cats should have at least one bowel movement per day. Any less than that may indicate the constipation is serious. You should also be careful of mistaking straining, which could be due to a urinary bladder blockage, with constipation. A urinary bladder blockage is life threatening for your cat. Make sure that there are still wet clumps from urine in your litter box. If your cat is straining and the litter box is dry, then you should contact your vet immediately to check your cat for this condition. If your pet is constipated, look out for other symptoms. Constipation is a symptom, and not a condition itself. Knowing the other symptoms will help you figure out the potential cause of your pet's constipation. A constipated animal may be lethargic, dehydrated, and reluctant to eat. A constipated animal may also vomit and not want to drink water. They are sometimes described as having a "hunched up" appearance.

One-sentence summary -- Understand veterinary care may be necessary. Keep an eye on your pet's bowel movements for 24 to 48 hours. Watch for other symptoms of constipation.

Problem: Article: This does not stop businesses you have recent dealings with (including debts and collectors) from calling, nor does it stop not-for-profit organizations. However, if you are plagued by telemarketers, this will significantly reduce your calls. This project is headed by the federal trade commission and located online at www.donotcall.gov . State programs exist as well and you can often join them online too. Most phone companies will now let you block all calls that do not display a caller ID number or come through as "Private." This will specifically remove a large number of telemarketing calls. Some phones have a feature that will allow you to designate a special ring tone for any specific phone number that might call in. Select a different ring tone than your normal ringtone for their number and when you hear it, lift and lower the receiver quickly. This will keep you from having to speak to them. (or you can let the machine get it.) Alternatively, buy a phone made for hearing impaired that features a flashing light (and which can be muted) that alerts you to calls. Phone books are a bit out of date, but phone number listings still exist online, and companies capture as many of these as they can. You can tell your phone company that you no longer want your number publicly listed. It should instead be considered a non-published or private number, not even available through directory assistance. Obviously this is a last resort, but it can be highly effective. Most cell phones can be easily set up to block certain callers, and additional apps can be downloaded that will allow you to send all calls from outside your contacts list directly to voice mail. Best of all, the federal government bans all use of automated dialers (the devices used by the vast majority of telemarketing firms) to call cell phones.
Summary:
Register with the national Do Not Call registry. Get Anonymous Call Rejection from your telephone company. Designate a certain ring tone for all of your contacts. Purchase a phone with a mute ringer function. Take your number off of all public listings. Switch to cellular only.
