Feeding Your Mind

What are you doing to feed your mind these days?

We need to find our mind as often, or more, than we feed our bodies. Most importantly, we need to control what we think about. This becomes much easier if we feed our minds good, healthy food. We need to surround ourselves with positive people who share our values and goals and who want to see us succeed. There are people out there that will feel bad about themselves if we succeed, so they will try to sabotage what we do. To combat this, daily, and often, feed your brain, your mind, on GOOD things.

Have you checked out the videos on this blog yet? They are filled with some of the greatest leaders of our time. They can inspire you, motivate you, and kick your butt when you need it.

What are you reading these days? Is it the paper, a magazine, or a book? Read every day, but read things that will nourish you, teach you, and build you up.

What are you watching? How much time do you spend in front of the television set? Turn it off!! They don't call it an idiot box for no reason. Truly nourish yourself.  Find something better.

To what do you listen? Are you generally tuning into angry music or music that inspires you? Does it bring your turmoil or peace? The music to which you listen will affect how you feel, and ultimately affect what you choose to do.

So make one new change each day to nourish your brain. You will be so glad you did. And you will soon see amazing results!

The Capital "F"

Are you walking around with capital F on your forehead? Do you assume everyone knows about your past?  We must first believe in ourselves before we can make anyone else believe in us. Although we cannot control what others will think of us, we can do much to influence it by believing in who we are, what we have to offer, and the fact that we are a valuable human being. 

Erase that capital F by choosing to believe in all you are and all you can be.

Don't Assume

Don't assume the reason you are not hearing back from potential employers is because you have a record. They may not even know you have a record yet. Do not take it personally! The main complaint I hear from all job seekers is that they apply and never hear back from the company.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to maintain a positive attitude. As soon as a negative thought pops into your head you need to stop it dead in its tracks. Remind yourself of your value, your talent, and all you have to offer. Never give up!

Make sure you are using every resource at your disposal to find work. Go to your local job center, attend networking meetings, conduct informational interviews, go to job fairs, apply in person, apply online, improve your computer skills, get training and education, find where the financial resources are... There is a lot of help out there for you if you just go out and find it!

Persistence will pay off. Never give up!
