This is all part of putting yourself out there again and seizing your opportunities. But you have to keep yourself healthy and balanced to do that. No, you don’t have to transfer to a quinoa-kale diet, but you probably should get exercise every day, even if it’s just a morning walk.

It will get your blood flowing and broaden your perspective.

 

Set Goals

Don’t be rudderless. Realize that your dreams aren’t going to materialize out of thin air and that you have to get out there yourself. But do it in strategic manner. Set goals and priorities for your year, months, and weeks. Break down what you want to achieve, then go for it.

Bonus Tip: Help actualize your goals by writing them down and setting up a weekly routine to achieve them. If the activity doesn’t contribute to your end goal (cough, cough, surfing Facebook) don’t do it.

 

Confidence

Know what you’re looking for. If you want to be a professional chef, chances are you’re going to need training in that field, for instance. And if that’s the case, have the confidence to go after it.
