June 30, 2014- Intuition

Do you trust your intuition?

I don't trust my intuition. I use to, but I don't anymore. For me, intuition is very similar to gut instincts. I use to think I had a very good gut instincts. However, with all my past issues with anxiety, I no longer trust it. 

When I was in the worst part of my anxiety I would swear that I knew my stomach cramp or dizziness meant something far worst. I would have bet everything I owned on it. In reality, there was nothing wrong. It was the symptoms of my anxiety causing those physical feelings and emotional fears. I learned that every time I was positive or had a feeling about something, it was 100% the opposite. 

I know when it comes to your body you should listen to what your intuition and gut are telling you. Too often people ignore it and small problems have become big problems. I just need to relearn the truths and not the lies. It may take awhile, but it can be done.  

June 29, 2014- Like A Lobster

Spent a nice relaxing day in my pool. It was hot outside so I made sure to put sunscreen on. Apparently I needed to reapply because I am burnt. Looks like it will be a very uncomfortable night sleep.

June 27, 2014- Hire Me

You are at an interview for your dream job. The interviewers asks you, ‘Why should we hire you?’

How do you answer?

I would answer in a very simple way and straight to the point. I would say, "I'll work harder than anyone else you hire, I will be the most organized person ever working in that position, I'll care about doing well more than anything else, I'll strive for the success of not only myself but my co-workers and the company as a whole, and I'll give it my very best every day. You should hire me for the position because it was made for me. It has been my dream and hope to work in a job like this, and I won't take it for granted, which means you know I'll give it everything I have."

Boom! Job offered. :)

June 26, 2014- Don't Like

I read the question for today and to be honest, I really didn't like the question. It was along the lines of what changes I could make to enhance and/or change my career path. I am actually fairly happy with my job/career right now. I don't want to change it right now, and I think I'm getting a lot out of my job. Maybe if I was thinking of starting a new career path or was unhappy with my job, I would get a lot more out of the question, but I think for now I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be in my job and career.

So instead of continuing on this subject I thought I would share something I saw on the beautiful Julianne Hough's Instagram the other day. It made me smile and I thought you may like it as well.

June 25, 2014- Working Lessons

What’s been the biggest lesson you’ve learned about work?

In the recent years of our economy work has been a tough thing. People are being laid off constantly. My brother has been laid off twice, and I have been laid off once. For me, the biggest lesson I have learned is not what you know, but who you know. Having a college education, strong work ethic, and years with a company mean nothing when it comes to businesses closing. Your best way at getting a foot in the door is by knowing someone who can open that door for you.

This is true for me. How I got the interview for my current job is a family friend knew the owners of the company and gave a recommendation for me. Without that I never would have heard of the opening, and probably would have never had that initial interview. Sure once I was in the interview it was all on me, but without knowing someone I would have never had my chance to shine. It's sad that all the years of schooling, hard work, and years of work experience are not the main thing the majority of job seekers can use today. It's all about who can help them get that first introduction.

June 24, 2014- Stay With Me

Not feeling too great today. I had a terrible night sleep and think I have some kind of stomach bug. So instead of writing I'm going to relax and share the song with you that has been stuck in my head all day. Enjoy and hopefully I'll kick this by tomorrow.

June 23, 2014- Learn More

What would you like to learn more about?

I didn't write yesterday. I got home really late and had a massive headache. I know this is an excuse, but it's the truth. Moving on though; new night, new question.

I would like to learn more about a lot of things. I would love to learn more about Greek mythology, different religions, animal science, how to sew, how to cook, the famous structures in Europe like the Trevi Fountain or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, how they film movies, how they record music, and so much other stuff. My dream is to win the lottery so I never have to work and can spend my time taking random classes and learn about random subjects. I would love how to learn to be a better writer so I could publish a book, how to do a ballroom dance, and how to hockey stop in ice skates. Mostly I just want to learn and become the best possible version of myself.
