Write an article based on this "Reflect on the changes you want to make. Create a game plan for making those changes. Stay motivated. Share your plans to reinvent yourself with others."
article: Before you jump into reinventing yourself, you need to slow down, reflect, and spend some time writing down your thoughts. Ask yourself why you want to reinvent yourself and what you want your future to look like. Make a list of all the things you want to change, and all the ways that you can begin to do so.  Write down the big changes you want to make. Maybe you want to lose a considerable amount of weight; maybe you want to learn to be generous; maybe you want to go from working on Wall Street to being a scuba diving instructor. Whatever big changes you want to make, write them down, and make a list of how you can go about accomplishing those goals. Write down the small changes, too. Though reinventing yourself takes big leaps, Rome wasn't built in a day, and the new you won't be, either. Make a list of small things that can slowly help you build up to your new life. This could be learning to meditate in the morning, volunteering in your community for just an hour a week, or eating more fruits and vegetables every day. Once you've written down the changes that will give you a new future, write down a reasonable goal for a time when you can say, "Yeah, I accomplished this thing." It could be months, or even a year or more away. But once you pick a date, you'll be closer to your goal. You can make goal dates for the small stuff; for example, you could say, "I will read three new books by the end of the month." Making a plan is a part of the commitment. Write your goal dates into your calendar, just like you would with any other commitment. If you want to get closer to reinventing yourself, then you need to stay positive and motivated throughout this journey, even if you're not feeling energetic or hopeful on a particular day. Staying mentally strong means winning half the battle to becoming a better person. Here are some ways to motivate yourself:  Surround yourself with images that remind you of your vision for your future. If your plan is to devote yourself to gardening full-time and to expand your property, then surround yourself with potted plans and images of beautiful gardens. Write about your goals in a journal. Take at least 10 minutes out of your day to write about how close you are to achieving your goals, and chronicling your process as you make the big changes. You'll feel more confident about your goals once you reflect. Write down at least three reasons why you want to reinvent yourself on an index card. Carry it around with you at all times so that you can pull it out and stay pumped in a moment of weakness. Reinventing yourself will be much easier if your loved ones, coworkers, or any other people in your life know about your decision. Sit down with all of the important people in your life and tell them about the change you want to make, and ask for their support during this period of adjustment. They should understand that you're serious about changing and should help motivate and encourage you as you go through this process.  If you're active on social media, share with your online community as well. The more people who know about your plans, the more indebted you'll feel to making this serious commitment. Make sure your loved ones take you seriously. They shouldn't try to draw you in to the "old you" that you want to shed.

article: Dried lentils, especially when bought from a bulk food bin, often have tiny stones mixed in. Sift through the lentils and pick out any materials that don't belong. Rinse the lentils in a colander with tight holes.  Bring to the boil. Simmer for about 40-45 minutes. Stir the lentils occasionally. The lentils are cooked when the water has been absorbed and they taste tender. They lentils can be simply seasoned to taste with salt and pepper, or use them in a recipe requiring brown or green lentils.  Add to warm salads, casseroles, and stuffing. Add pureed to soups. Combine with white rice or bulgur wheat for a side dish. Mash to form a vegetarian pâté.

Write an article based on this "Live in Russia as a permanent resident for 5 years. Agree to abide by the Russian constitution. Provide proof of legal means for subsistence. Renounce previous citizenship. Demonstrate basic command of Russian. Submit your application to the Office of the President of the Russian Federation. Wait up to 1 year for a decision."

Once you’ve obtained permanent resident status, you’ll need to live in Russia for 5 years. You can live outside of the country during that time, but for no more than 3 months each year.  If you have entered Russia on a Highly Qualified Person visa or as a refugee, the permanent residency requirement can be reduced to 1 year instead of 5. If you have connections to Russian citizens already, you might also be able to apply for Russian citizenship immediately after becoming a permanent resident – called the simplified process. The local OVIR office can give you a list of the qualifying relationships that let you apply through the simplified process without waiting 5 years. As part of the citizenship process, you’ll need to agree to abide by the Russian constitution. This usually means filling out legal paperwork through the OVIR where you agree to do so. If you’re unmarried and without dependents, you’ll only need to provide proof of legal means for subsistence for yourself. If you are married or have dependents, you’ll have to prove you can support them as well. The accepted proof for legal subsistence varies – you can find out what counts from your local OVIR. Pay stubs and bank statements might be required. Unless Russia has a dual citizenship treaty with your home country, you’ll need to renounce your previous citizenship. This includes filling out paperwork from the OVIR saying you renounce your citizenship and forfeiting your old passport. If you were previously a US citizen, you might be able to maintain dual citizenship. You’ll have to claim your US passport so Russian officials know you have one, but you won’t be required to give it up. How you’ll demonstrate this will vary – it may be a written or oral test. You might also be able to obtain paperwork from someone who is in a position to know about your command of the Russian language – like a language teacher. You’ll have to demonstrate basic command to get citizenship. The Office of the President of the Russian Federation (GUVM) will process your application. You should submit your completed application – available at your local GUVM – plus proof of income, proof of Russian language capability, and application to renounce citizenship (if necessary) to your local GUVM. Once you’ve submitted your application, you’ll need to wait up to a year for a decision. You can appeal a rejection through the courts. Your local GUVM office will have information on how to do so. If you’ve applied for citizenship through the simplified naturalization process, it will take up to 6 months for a decision.
