Many Thanks

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! I hope the holiday went well and the time was well spent with family and loved ones rejoicing and eating too much. What are you thankful for this year? Health? Wealth? Happiness? All of the above? And so it seems when we take a close there is actually lots to be thankful for.  I, for example, might say that I am thankful for my new job. (or am I..?) Yes I have landed yet another questionable yet hopefully promising job offer and yes after my first week I might decide to stick with it and really sink my teeth into this one. Unfortunately It is not in the health/fitness industry which would still be my ideal preference but that is going to take a bit of time. This job is with a recruiting agency (start up company *Yippie*) whose aim is to help link employers with the best candidates by using recorded video interviews instead of normal resume submission. Sounds like a decent enough gig right? Maybe. start up companies can be tough and I just hope there's enough money to be made. We'll see how it pans out.

In the meantime I believe I am going to get my health and fitness certification. I'm truly starting to realize that a typical 9-5 boring desk job might not be for me. I want to move and be active (while helping others achieve their fitness goals as well.) I have started applying to gyms to see what's available. Keeping fingers crossed I can get hired at the 24-Hour Fitness I go to.  It seems like the best pace to start my career in the industry. Perhaps I am selling myself short by not attempting a more prestigious career path but it will make me happy. If I can build myself as a Nutrition/Fitness expert/counselor that would be ideal for me.

And as for my healthy life style tips here is today's advice: Visualize Your Success! I am a huge believer in the law of attraction and projecting your positive thoughts. And yes, achieving your fitness goals is life success! Cut out a picture of that victoria secret model you would like to emulate or that dress you "wish" you could fit into and focus on it daily. Of course it is still important to keep goals realistic and not to get discouraged if it fails tot happen in the time frame you were expecting but it is important to keep your goals visual and remind yourself what you are striving for!
