Ask yourself what you want to achieve, and write it down clearly and in as much detail as possible. Also write down what inspires you to make this change in your life, i.e. why you want it. Keep this around throughout your process of achieving it as a positive reminder of why you wanted to start in the first place. Include what you think the positive outcomes for your life will be if you achieve this goal, but also the great things you already have to fall back on in case you don't achieve it. For example, you could write down: "Getting better at soccer will give me a good chance at getting a college scholarship, which would make me happy and allow me to keep playing it at the next level. But I'm already really happy with my performance in the junior league, and I love my team." Take a big goal or project and break it down into several smaller ones that seem more manageable and easier to find daily inspiration for, like "Exercise for 30 minutes three times a day this week." Use smaller goals to build up to something larger. Set a goal for each day or week (and it doesn't have to be the same from one to the next), like producing one new piece of art or writing. Soon, you'll have enough work for the portfolio you're ultimately working towards. Try breaking down smaller goals even further by setting time limits, like "work on this for one hour" instead of the more general "work on this today." Picture yourself completing your goal more easily by reminding yourself of all the things related to it that you've already achieved, or even accomplishments that are totally unrelated but have brought you great joy or inspiration. Try making a list of the hardest things you've ever done, whether physical, intellectual, or emotional. This may help you recognize that your current task is achievable after all you've done, and it may not be so hard to handle after all. If you're having trouble coming up with specific achievements to write down, simply make a list of things that make you happy or feel good when you do them. You can use this to remind yourself of things that inspire you or do those same things later as incentives for your work.

Summary: Set goals to determine your inspiration. Break it down into small parts. Make a list of what you've already achieved.

A high ankle sprain is also known as syndesmosis sprain. The syndesmotic ligament is a strong and fibrous connective tissue that links the tibia (shin bone) and fibula (outside bone) of the lower leg. This injury is known as "high" ankle sprain because the syndesmotic ligament is actually located above the ankle. A regular or "low ankle" sprain occurs when the ligaments connecting the fibula to the foot are stretched or torn. This injury happens when you "roll over" on your ankle. This is the most common type of ankle sprain, and the recovery period is between 4 to 6 weeks. A high ankle sprain, on the other hand, is a more severe type of ankle sprain because it may take between 2 to 6 months to recover. In most cases, this injury happens when you twist out your lower leg and foot. The signs and symptoms of a high ankle sprain are more or less the same as a regular sprain, however, the pain and swelling will be located slightly higher on the ankle. To identify a high ankle sprain, look for the following: Pain: Following an ankle sprain, the tissue surrounding the injury will release chemicals that stimulate the pain receptors. Swelling: Swelling occurs at the site of the injury due to internal bleeding. Additionally, swelling occurs because more blood is being pumped to the area to aid healing. Warmth: The skin surrounding the injured ankle is warm to touch, as the body tries to heat the area to kill potential bacteria that may cause infection. Redness: The skin covering the ankle becomes pinkish-red in color. This is evidence of increased blood supply to the area. High ankle sprains are divided into three different categories grade one, grade two and grade three according to the severity of the injury. Recovery time will vary depending on what grade sprain you have. Grade I: Grade I is the mildest type of ligament injury, as the syndesmosis is usually only stretched or slightly torn. Symptoms of a grade I injury may include swelling, tenderness, and stiffness. Though the ligament is injured, walking is still possible. Grade II: Grade II sprains occur when the syndesmosis ligament is partially torn. The ankle is still somewhat stable but walking may be painful. There is tenderness, bruising, and swelling around the ankle. Grade III: A Grade III sprain occurs when the syndesmosis ligament is completely torn. The ankle is no longer stable and feels wobbly. Walking is impossible or very difficult and may be accompanied by intense pain. If you have already suffered a high ankle sprain, you are more likely to re-injure yourself in the future. Therefore it's important to be aware of the risk factors for a high ankle sprain, so you can take preventative measures to avoid re-injury. Sports are the most common risk factor when it comes to high ankle sprains. Injury may occur as a result of sudden and forceful motion, or when external force is applied to the leg. The sports that most commonly cause high ankle sprains include football, soccer, wrestling, hockey, basketball, and lawn tennis. Certain medical conditions can make you more likely to sustain an ankle injury. For example, being overweight or obese puts greater strain on the legs for a prolonged period of time, making the ankles more prone to injury. Conditions which cause decreased muscle strength and bone integrity are also a risk factor for high ankle sprains.

Summary: Understand the difference between a high ankle sprain and a regular sprain. Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of a high ankle sprain. Identify the different grades of high ankle sprain. Familiarize yourself with the risk factors.

This works particularly well with shiny bulb, glass, or metal ornaments as these types are the most reflective. Tinsel makes your tree glitter. Hang tinsel near lights for the shiniest look possible. Be mindful with the amount of tinsel you place on your tree. Too much tinsel could take away from the beauty of your ornaments. For a more modern look, buy colored tinsel rather than the traditional gold and silver.
Summary: Hang ornaments near lights to highlight certain ornaments. Add tinsel (optional).
