Handing in your resignation letter is uncomfortable.
Let’s face it-You’ve planned it now for weeks, thought about what you were going to say, how you were going to say it, and even thought about a few “Office Space” walk out scenarios. The big day finally arrives, and you.just.do it. Resigning from a position should feel, taste, and breathe bittersweet. It means you actually cared about what you did. You may have even had a passion for it. It means, although you may have had a love/hate relationship with your job, you still cared about your position.
It’s always sad leaving a job that you care for, but the thing to remember is that there is more to look forward to. There are doors wide open, and sometimes smacking us in the face, for opportunity. I think that we often look for a job that is “in our skill range,” and we aren’t open to opportunities that may challenge us. Don’t fear opportunity or the chance to expand your skills.
When the day calls for you to close the door to an old job, keep your spirits high knowing that your future holds something good, something new, something that will only help you to grow as an individual. Hopefully, it will mean an increase in your earnings as well! One can hope, right?!
Embrace the bittersweet resignation. Reminisce. Move Forward.
So I was flipping through the channels the other day, and stopped on the widely known America’s Next Top Model. I don’t watch it regularly so I have no idea what cycle it was, but it was interesting and quite insightful.
They had this drama coach on there who was teaching the girls about bringing out themselves (the inner self). They were supposed to do an exercise where they were given a pad of paper, and told to draw a picture of the little voice inside them that always said why they weren’t good enough, why they couldn’t do things, etc…You get the idea. Each of the girls drew the little voice inside their heads, and then the drama coach asked them to confront the picture while the coach held the picture. The coach would then act as the “little voice”, telling each girl that they weren’t good enough, weren’t able to model, and the girls would respond with “Yes, I am good enough…I am strong.”
Watching this exercise made me really think about all the times that “little voice” talks to me all the time. How many times do you listen to that voice in your head? How many times you let that voice talk you out of doing something, or encouraging you to do something you absolutely know is wrong. Why does that voice always show up and make you do the wrong instead of the right? When are we going to start listening to our “gut feeling” instead? We should be pumping ourselves up instead of listening to a voice that is always negative. We let our little voice put fear in us, and then we become afraid to do things that may challenge us and make us stronger in the end.
My point? Start ignoring that little voice and begin believing in that little angel on your shoulder-You know, the one encouraging you to go for things, reach past your comfort border.
Summer is a great time to be outside enjoying the weather, great outdoors, beach, and sun. Although it brings great weather, it can be very harsh on our skin. Laying out at the beach the sting of sand blowing in the breeze, the hot sun on our skin can completely reverse the care we gave our skin throughout the Spring. It’s so important to maintain lush, moisturized skin especially through the Summer in prep for Fall. Here’s what you can do to keep your skin healthy and maintained:
Drink LOTS-O-WATER-At least 8- 8oz glasses of water or 4- 16 oz bottles of water. Water is extremely important, not just for our skin’s health, but our every day health. It helps release toxins in our body, which cleanses our bodies of impurities.
Exfoliate-Be sure to use an Exfoliating Body Bar. Use in the shower, where it’s hot and steamy.
Follow Up-Moisturize using your Indulge Body Butter Bar right after you get out of the shower. Only dab, dab, dab your skin-Don’t feel like you have to completely dry off. When your body is slightly moist is the best time to use the Indulge Body Butter Bar. Use it from head-to-toe, then buff. Gently use a washcloth to buff your skin. This will allow the amazing natural ingredients in the Indulge Body Butter Bar to properly penetrate the skin.
Last, but not least-Make sure you use a SPF 15 or higher if you plan on being outside. Even if it’s overcast, the UVA and UVB rays can still burn you. It’s important to get into a routine for applying SPF to your skin before starting your day.
Should you follow the above mentioned, your skin will be properly cared for, moisturized, and supple. If you don’t have an Indulge Body Butter Bar, let me tell you, they are amazing! They start out at only $10 each for a block. They’re wonderful and come in several scents. Call either Indulge on S. George Street (717-846-4424) or on E. Market Street (717-718-4465) to arrange for a Body Butter Bar Consultation. We can even set aside some bars for you to pick up. Easy Peasy!
