Bad habits can form in a heartbeat. From snacking too often on chocolates and fatty foods, to smoking and/or drinking on a slightly too regular basis, bad habits can sneak up on us. And once they’re in place, they can be hard to shift. But they’re not impossible.
One very worthy new year’s resolution would be to fight back against habits like these. Pick one you find to be most disruptive and work on cutting it back. Maybe snack once a day in between meals, or learn how to vary your diet to ensure you’re always full after eating? Or maybe you should try patches or a vape, or learn to make delicious mocktails, to help keep potential substance issues at bay.
Assert Your Own Rights
Your health is the one thing you should have complete control over. Indeed, it’s the biggest part of you in most cases! And this is the number one reason it deserves a bit more TLC in the new year. The best way to do that? Know your rights and how to assert them. And you’ve got a lot of them in the medical world.
Whether you need a second opinion or you’ve been involved in a case of medical malpractice, you’ve got a right to do what you need to. That often means learning how to properly talk about your symptoms as well as knowing how to fight for compensation. Indeed, if you’ve got an issue already you can let a member of the Morris Bart Law Firm review your case. It’s up to you how to proceed, but knowledge very much is power here!
Don’t Write Off Self Care
Self care is important for everyone. It’s your chance to look at how you’re feeling and focus on ways to alleviate any pressures and stresses you’re going through. For the sake of your mental health alone, this is essential! From writing about your feelings to treating yourself once a week to talking to your loved ones more often, self care takes many forms. Find the one that suits you the best.
Your health deserves good care. Go after it with tips like these.
Many professionals believe that career stagnation is a norm after forty. You reach your goals by this age or feel ready to give up if they seem too distant. Either way, you have your career facts wrong because your forties may also be about starting again. You may consider a switch or even rework your goals to reach higher. The only thing you require is a never-say-die attitude that drives you to move ahead enthusiastically. Here are some tips to stay motivated enough to move towards your career goals after forty.
Figure out the road ahead
Reaching your professional goals later in life gets easy if you can see the road ahead carefully. Figure out your plan, whether you want to stay in the same domain or step out of your comfort zone by trying something different. Both seem daunting after mid-life, but they can actually bring your passion back. Chart your roadmap and embark on the journey without doubts and apprehension. Let age be only a number!
Upgrade yourself
Going back to school after forty sounds impossible, but you must do it to refresh your skills and be relevant. Luckily, there are endless options in online programs for professionals across all industries. You can pick one without disrupting your current job or lifestyle. You may even consider taking a career break and joining a university program. Besides ramping up your education, invest in soft skills because they are equally vital for career growth.
Redesign your resume
A fresh start is about finding new opportunities in the job landscape. Redesigning your resume is a good place to start. Ensure it showcases your strengths like experience and skill upgrades. You must also have supportive documents to validate the information in the resume. Check your credentials and get a replacement diploma if the real one goes missing. Most professionals struggle with the situation because their crucial documents are not at hand decades after completing college.
Redo your LinkedIn profile
Besides refreshing your resume, you must also redo your LinkedIn profile. Consider adding the information regarding your fresh skills. Ask clients and colleagues to endorse you because positive words can enhance your credibility as a professional. Also, start growing your network according to your career plans. For example, consider connecting with niche leaders in another industry if looking to switch domains.
Find a mentor
A mentor often helps young professionals to navigate the career landscape. But you may need one even after forty when a career transition is impending. Look for someone with similar experience because they can guide you and motivate you better. Moreover, you feel more connected to someone who shares your vision and mindset. Finding a mentor may seem challenging when you are a senior professional, but you can look for someone online or in your office.
Your career does not end after forty, rather it is a good time to reboot and restart. You only need to define your goals wisely, stay committed, and take a strategic approach to reach them. Follow these steps to overcome the challenges and cover all fronts s.
