You can have a mindful, productive, meaningful morning without feeling pressured to work out
Sweet mindfulness can feel SO GOOD when you’re setting the tone for your day! Life can be busy as heck (and don’t we know it!) so taking the time to focus in the morning feels luxurious and necessary— like a hot cup of coffee! (Does anyone else just sit with their warm coffee mug for a minute, soaking in the warmth and goodness? No, just me? ;) )
I know it can be hard to take time for yourself in the mornings. They’re already so rushed! My solution has been to start getting up a little earlier each day to give myself some dedicated me-time :) I get up about 60-90 minutes early every day (although that sounds crazy to start with— I started this process at like fifteen minutes, or some days even just five minutes early and worked my way up).
Solitude, and warm, delicious Coffee are the carrots I dangle to get myself up. (If I were getting up to go work out right away, there’s no way I’d actually get up. For me, that’s not motivating at all. But coffee, peace, and quiet BEFORE my adventurous dog walk? Now THAT is worth it to me!)
Find what makes you happy to wake up! Maybe it’s a great song, or the opportunity to eat breakfast without your kids interrupting you. Find something that feels good to you, and let that motivate you. Some of my favorite things are:
>> Meditating - This one takes less than 10 minutes >*>*> http://braveheartopenmind.com/7-minute-self-love-meditation
>> Self-Reflection - Which can be as simple as writing down some things your grateful for, or it can be a little more guided like this reflection on identifying your personal strengths >*>*> http://braveheartopenmind.com/2019/09/self-confidence-reflection-exercise And this one focuses on self-love >*>*> http://braveheartopenmind.com/2019/10/build-your-own-affirmations And this one is a quiz-style self-reflection >*>*> http://braveheartopenmind.com/confidence-quiz
>> Yoga (Specifically Yoga with Adriene) Her YouTube channel is sweet, accepting, mindful, and grounding! And if you've never tried yoga before, she's got excellent beginner videos! If you ARE looking for an intense workout, she's got those too :) >*>*> https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene
>> Podcasts - These can be great for learning new things, and if you find one you like, it can be super motivating if you know that getting out of bed means tea and a podcast :)
Taking time for yourself won’t always be perfect (today my two sweet doggos interrupted me for playtime like 95 times before they decided to settle down and be mindful too), but trying to be better for yourself, and trying to carve out time to help focus your mind can be totally life-changing! (Not, like, Nutella life-changing, but it does allow room in your life for more self-love, self-care, and an open mindset. And THAT is worth it!)
YOU are worth it! (You SO are!!)

Hi,
I wanted to get some other perspectives from anyone that has become a mum and feels like they need to/want to take a step back in their career? I don't know if my experience is unusual or if this is a common thing that happens. I have a very limited village, so any illness or issue means I have to take time off work etc. and progressing in my career in a high stress environment doesn't feel sustainable alongside the home life pressure. Is anyone willing to share their experiences?

Tired of filling out job application forms? You are not alone!
Job searching can be draining, and one of the biggest hurdles is the sheer volume of applications. Don't let application fatigue slow you down. Here's a simple, step-by-step guide to help you power through:
Step 1: Optimize Your Resume for Each Role, Efficiently!
Instead of rewriting your entire resume for every job, focus on targeted tweaks. Identify 3-5 keywords from the job description and make sure they appear naturally in your resume, especially in your summary and experience sections. Use an AI tool or a word cloud generator to quickly spot these keywords in the job posting. This saves time and significantly increases your chances of passing applicant tracking systems (ATS).
Step 2: Craft a Concise, Impactful Cover Letter Template
Stop writing unique cover letters from scratch. Develop a master template that includes sections for your introduction, your key skills and achievements, and a strong closing. For each application, simply customize the company name, job title, and one or two sentences that specifically highlight why you're a perfect fit for this particular role. Keep it brief – three paragraphs are usually enough.
Step 3: Set Application Limits (and Stick to Them!)
It's tempting to apply for everything, but this often leads to burnout. Decide on a realistic number of applications you'll submit each day or week (e.g., 3-5 quality applications per day). Once you hit that number, stop! Use the extra time to network, learn new skills, or simply recharge. This helps maintain your energy and focus, ensuring each application gets the attention it deserves.

Hello everyone, I will be re-entering the job market at the start of next year.
I work in the health insurance industry and my job is suddenly not looking so stable. I've been warned I might get a minor hour/pay reduction next year depending on how many clients we lose, best case is 10% and worst case is 25%. I know I'm 'safe' for this AEP - I'm the only receptionist for a family business with 2K clients. If they let me go they would not be able to function. But next AEP is not as guarenteed depending on how bad it gets this and next year, and I'm not waiting to find out. So after this AEP, I'm going to be looking for a new job.
I have not job hunted in about 2 years. How much different is it? I have solid experience in office work and that's mostly what my education was focused on (that and business). Last time I job hunted is when AI was just starting to make it's way into the job application field, and I loathe to find out how pervasive it is now.

Currently interviewing but i have a dental procedure coming up that will put me out for a week , meaning I will be out for 1 week, just 2-3 weeks right after starting the job. ...
I would like to prepare what I will say as im approaching last interview and may land the job. The issue is I would rather start right away because i need income urgently to pay bills
a- tell them its best for me to start after my procedure - 3 weeks from now ( which will but me in a predicament as i need immediate income) and they might be annoyed they have to wait 3 weeks
or
b-tell them i can start 1 or 2 weeks before my procedure and but that in 3 weeks I may need an entire week off .
advice ?
