Ask yourself this important question. Who do you know that was once overweight, lost a ton of pounds, tossed themselves into size 4 dresses, and is now right back where they started? That's right! Each and every one of those people you thought of took it off, then put it right back on, and probably did it in record time?the putting it on pounds I mean. Want to know the real truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the genuine live honest to goodness truth about what those folks did to their bodies and inner consciousness? Well I have just four short words for you? Dieting'it doesn't work! It has never worked, it never will work, and there is no pill, invention, and medicine man on this planet that can get someone to control food and drink consumption, without a negative effect occurring. Merriam Webster defines the word diet as a 1 a: food and drink regularly provided or consumed b: habitual nourishment c: the kind and amount of food prescribed for a person or animal for a special reason d: a regimen of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one's weight going on a diet 2: something provided or experienced repeatedly. I find d kind of almost ironic in a way? ?To eat and drink sparingly?? This is exactly what I am talking about people? Ask yourself; are you really thinking you can ?cut back? on the amount of food and drinking you are used to for any length of time? Is shedding a few extra pounds as important as going without a meal or tow a week? What about a day? Not at my house! Not no, not never, no way Jose!!! In order for us to stop the social aspects of focusing in on starving the body of calories or carbs to achieve the results'we have to get deep at the source of the problems surrounding us daily. We should start creating a simple way for people to be taught about the most up-to-date dieting and weight loss information available on the market today, and create accountability once and for all. Focus on giving yourself a NON-starvation type of weight loss program. Avoid the word diet in your translation of what you are doing to improve your situation, and stop the focus on starving your body of calories or carbs ? because, as I'll repeat myself??starvation diets will not work for long periods of time?. You will only make yourself miserable, feel a sense of lack, which over time will result in leaving you feeling weak and lethargic all day long. I have faith in presenting straightforward and correct dietary information. You have to include a certain amount of exercise into your daily routine, even if it's walking 10-20 minutes a day, which over time, will get you the body you deserve, without starvation as a means to an end.
How you carry yourself is extremely important- especially when it comes to business. When you sit down for an interview or even when you meet someone for the first time, there is a ton of information about you that is absorbed by the other parties involved. From what you are wearing to quirky mannerisms that you never knew you had, down to how you smell- all of this is taken into account.
The most noticeable thing that others can observe about you is how you are dressed as well as how you smell. It should go without saying that prior to meeting anyone for the first time, you should make sure that you take a shower. The common mistake that people make, however (especially men) is that will hose themselves down in cologne. This is a mistake. Not only is too much of one thing overwhelming but you also don't know what your interview situation is going to be like. Will you be interviewing outside or in a tiny office with no windows? You need to also be mindful of the fact that other people may have allergies and might not appreciate the cologne or perfume bath that you just took. The same thing also applies for creams and lotions. If you need to, try to purchase creams that don't have as strong of a smell. Additionally, one other thing that has accumulated much less tolerance is cigarette smoke. If you are a smoker, the last thing your interviewer, boss or other prospective co-workers want to smell is a human ashtray. If you can help it, avoid smoking while at work or just prior to going to work. There may also be some neutralizing sprays on the market to help eliminate unwanted odors.
?Dress to impress? is more than a mere saying; it's the truth. You only have one shot to make a good, lasting first impression on others. This is why it is often suggested that you choose appropriate clothing for a first meeting. Unless your prospective employer indicates otherwise, you should always plan on wearing something business casual. For men, business casual can mean slacks and a shirt with a collar while for the ladies it can simply mean a nice dress top with a pair of dress slacks.
The next thing employers look at is your body language. Make sure that you make plenty of eye contact with the person you are speaking to. However, you don't want to hold eye contact too long because then it'll feel as if you're staring at the person. Keeping eye contact too short, on the other hand, may indicate that your shifty, nervous or have something to hide (I.e. lying). When you greet the other person, make sure you give a good, strong handshake and say your name clearly. No one likes a limp wristed handshake because it may indicate timidity or lack of self confidence. If your interview is taking place while seated, make sure that you sit up straight but not so much so that it looks uncomfortable. It is important not to slouch because this may indicate that you don't care or don't respect your interviewer. Lastly, make sure you do your research about the company or person you are interviewing with prior to the meeting. Reference the company and/or ask questions about the company during the interview to show your employer that you are a person who takes the initiative.
