5 Signs It's Time For a New Job

You know in your heart when it's time to quit, but in case you're still in denial, here
are 5 signs it's time for a new job.









1. It takes you awhile to get out of your car.
      Taking deep breaths you dread going into the building, and you wonder how
      many more days you can do this.

2. You have no motivation.
      Tasks that you used to love doing, you now hate them. You'd rather sit in the
      break room and do nothing.

3. The entire time you're at work you wish you 
    were someplace else.
     You feel as if going to the doctor would give you more joy.

4. Your job isn't fun anymore.
      Work feels like a chore. The love that you had for your job is long gone.

5. When you leave work you're in a bad mood.
      You feel as if you just wasted eight hours of your life. You're cranky and
       no one wants to be around you.

If you're afraid to leave your job, read my post: How to Leave a Job You Hate.

Don't Let Shyness Stop You

Have you ever wanted to do something, but you didn't do it because you were too
shy? When I was younger I wanted to be an actress, but I was so shy I decided
not to. Don't do what I did. If there is something you want to do don't let shyness
stop you. Tell yourself what you want to do is possible and don't worry about what
other people may think of you.








* You want to say "hi" to someone...
   Say "hi" to someone. What's the worst that could happen?

* You want to dance on the dance floor...
   Dance on the dance floor. Don't lean on the wall all night.

* You want to be a singer...
   Be a singer. If you love singing you've got to do this.

* You want to ask someone out...
   Ask someone out. If they say "no" just move on.

* You want to give a speech...
   Give a speech. As long as you practice you'll be O.K.

   Remember, don't let shyness stop you.

Embrace What Makes You Different

Self-esteem is a lot more than looks, but you can't deny looks are important. When
I was younger, I had a gap between my two front teeth and I hated it. It took me a
long time to accept my teeth, but I finally did. Years later, I got TMJ and I was told
I had to get braces to fix my jaw. The braces closed the space between my teeth,
so I had to get used to having no gap. The point is,you should embrace what makes
you look different.

Are you someone who doesn't like the sound of your voice? Is it your accent?
Is it your tone? Don't be a voice hater.  Fran Drescher didn't let her voice stop her 
 from pursuing an acting career.

Take what makes you different and embrace it. 

Love your...

Act Like a Celebrity

Act like a positive celebrity please. Celebrities...  

Act Confident
Act confident and you will become confident.

Smile
You will be more approachable and personable.

Accessorize
Here are some ideas:

  • earrings
  • tattoos
  • belts
  • necklaces
  • scarves
  • hats
  • eyewear
  • rings

Change Styles
Instead of wearing jeans all the time try khaki pants. Instead of wearing pants
all the time try a dress. If you normally don't wear a tie, put one on to see how
it makes you feel.

Try Different Activities
Go places you've never been! Do things you've never done!

Unrealistic Images

I hear about unrealistic images of people all the time and how they supposedly
hurt the self-esteem of young people. I don't believe this for a second. Young
people aren't dumb. They know that it takes a lot of work and photo editing
software to look flawless. Not much of what we see in pictures is real anyway.

If you are mentally hurt by the attractive seemingly perfect people that you see
on t.v., in magazines, and on the internet let me ask you this question... Would
you rather see unpleasing, repulsive, grotesque, homely, and nasty looking peo-
ple instead of attractive people?
