Dress for Success. That includes wearing a smile
People who dress professionally are usually also
considered as dependable, smart, hardworking and
leaders. Keep smiling and be supportive. However
superficial it sounds, a warm smile is a powerful asset
in a hectic office environment. Renew
Your Enthusiasm
Every job has de-motivating aspects. The challenge lies
in how you handle those on-the-job frustrations. If you
succumb to feelings of powerlessness, job burnout is a
risk. A Can-Do attitude and feelings of personal power
buffer you from burnout, and boost your enthusiasm for
work. |
Do More Than Punch The Clock
Work is hard and getting harder all the time. So
punching the clock just doesn't cut anymore.
To get ahead, you've got to ask yourself the
following questions:
● How realistic are your expectations? Expect to do lots
of stuff that no one else wants to do - and to do it
better than they expected you to do it.
● Do you ask for feedback? Ask your boss regularly to
tell you how you're doing.
● Are you doing your level best in your job? Don't just
limit yourself to your job description. See if you can
go beyond your job or function.
● Do you dress and act for the job you have or the job
you want? Build the image you want to project.
Keep An Achievement File
Fill your file with evidence of completed projects
and goals. Keep track of on-going education/training
programmes you've attended, as well as letters or notes
of praise you receive. If your manager writes a positive
comment in an e-mail or on a memo or a report, copy and
file it. Keep a record of how you added value to your
position and department. Why? When time comes for
performance reviews, you can prompt your manager's
memory about your accomplishments; or when the time
comes to move to another position or company, you have a
portfolio of achievements; when you're having a bad day,
you have proof of all the wonderful things you've
accomplished.
When it comes to a glowing complexion
what we put into our bodies and how we treat our skin
and ourselves has a huge impact on how we look – no skin
care product can overcome certain damage. Here are a few
hints to take the best care of your skin and get that
radiant glow.
1. Eat a balanced diet – what we put in our bodies will
show on our skin. If you eat fatty foods and junk your
skin will reflect that, so give your skin proper
nutrition.
2. Get at least 7 to 8 hours sleep every night. A lack
of sleep will show up under your eyes as dark circles or
bags. Proper rest will also benefit your body and your
life.
3. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin
hydrated. It is best to spread the consumption of water
in small amounts over the course of the day to be sure
it is properly absorbed.
4. Maintain a regular exercise schedule. Exercise gets
the blood moving and creates a healthy body.
5. Get lots of fresh air but avoid prolonged exposure to
wind and cold.
6. Avoid the sun and tanning beds. The damage done by
ultraviolet rays is long lasting and cannot be reversed.
7. Always wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
8. Try to achieve a well-balanced life and reduce
stress.
9. Exfoliate twice a week to rid your skin of dead
cells.
10. Develop a skin care routine for your particular skn
type.
If you have been neglecting your complexion start right
away to improve it – it’s never too late. What you do
today will show up in your skin in the future. It’s up
to you. ●
