Once Around The Block

Sometimes when you live in a town even you find it difficult to see everything that is happening around you. You get caught up in the daily grind and don’t think about social, educational or healthy extracurricular activities that in many cases are free.

Here is our list of a few things around Murfreesboro that are worth taking time to participate in this week.

Hoop-a-thon

February 25

In an effort to benefit the American Heart Association the Boro Hoops, a local group dedicated to the positive effects of Hula-Hooping, will hold a Hoop-a-thon tomorrow on the MTSU campus. Now we can’t vouch for our own hooping skills, but if you got ‘em flaunt ‘em. This isn’t just a way to get involved with your community, or help out a charitable organization; it’s also a way to get active, which we all know is important right before bathing suit season.

Murfreesboro Indoor Flea Market

February 25 @ 9 a.m. until February 26 @ 5 p.m.

Flea markets are a great place to find projects, like furniture that you can update or found objects to decorate something you’ve already got and this Saturday, rain or shine, you will get your chance at the Murfreesboro Indoor Flea Market. Located at 1209 Park Ave. in Murfreesboro, the event is set to have food, antiques, clothing and accessories, but you know there’s always something new in the mix. This is one thing we won’t be missing this week.

Tai Chi at Lane Agri-Park

Each Wednesday from 9-10 a.m.

Any excuse to get up and get moving is a good one in our book, but this Tai Chi class seems like a fun way to stay active while also spending some time for yourself, to distress and take in the day. Classes meet at the Lane Agri-Park located at 315 John Rice Boulevard and are instructed by Pat Whitaker.

Housing Market Predicted to Recover

“Home sales and home building are forecast to rise this year after sliding steeply the past five years in housing’s worst downturn since the Great Depression.

Recovery is expected to be slow, and home prices are widely expected to fall this year. But investors are betting on the start of an upturn, bidding up home builder stocks and causing them to outperform the broader stock market,” USA Today reported early last week.

According to this article in USA Today low prices and interest rates have helped the market hit bottom, and now the future of the housing market is looking much brighter. So if you’re looking at buying a home or selling your own property     hopes for getting a return on your investment are seeming optimistic.

A Focus on Community Involvement

“The Middle Tennessee Association of Realtors presented the American Diabetes Association with contribution of more than $5,300 last week, the result of Realtor fundraising efforts in 2011,” The Daily News Journal reported.

Comas Montgomery’s Charlie Montgomery, 2012 MTAR President, is among the local realtors who joined the cause, and he said this cause was easy to get behind because the American Diabetes Association is an “outstanding organization.”

Set a Goal for the New Year

Making a New Year’s resolution is easy, achieving it isn’t so easy. So this year we challenge you not to make New Year’s resolutions but instead write down your goals for the year and achieve as many as you can. Whether you’re interested in buying a new house, selling an old house or paying off your current house, setting goals will not only give you a clear outline of what you’d like to see happen, but it is also the first step in making those goals a reality. It is hard to achieve something if you don’t write it down and figure out the best way to attain it.

One thing that makes New Year’s resolutions so difficult to follow is that they deal in absolutes and when you slip up you feel like you’ve failed. No reason to make yourself feel down for not achieving something you decided to do. Instead write a list of goals and let them be something to reach for, instead of something weighing you down.

When starting your list of goals think about making two types of list one for your professional goals and one for your personal /private goals.  This will allow you to distinguish a very clear and concise objective and if they happen to run together you’ll be even closer to achieving goals on both lists.

One great thing about goals are they can be as big, or as small, as you want.  Don’t feel like you have to list off a bunch of huge accomplishments you’d hope to make by year’s end, because you want your goals to seem attainable—hard enough that it takes work, but not so hard that you’ve set yourself up for failure. Try mixing one difficult goal, like renovating your bathroom, with smaller goals like organizing a space, or learning how to fix a garage door.  There is no better feeling than being able to scratch off a goal that you have accomplished no matter the size.

This year we challenge you to write down your goals for 2012. You may not achieve everything you write down, but having an idea of where you’re going always helps when deciding what steps to take.
