I am heading into three weeks of craziness starting Monday. I am spending the next three weeks going on photo shoots and video shoots trying to prove to my boss that I am fully capable of doing my job. Fully capable as in I am ready to be promoted. I have been in a Senior position for three years now and am ready to make the move to Associate Director. All the stress and all the late nights had better pay off. If I don’t get the promotion I am looking for in six months to meet a goal I set when I was 18, it’s time for me to move on.
It’s one of those things I really want. I want to be a young successful woman in a male dominated industry. I want to make really cool work that influences society and changes the way people think. Though, as I begin to think about how I spend all my time at work, I realize, I haven’t worked out in months and how I start to sweat even just tying my shoes. All the things I promote, the lifestyles I tell people they should participate in, I don’t and sometimes can’t be in myself because of my weight.
This is where the next six months come in. I am going to focus on myself. I am going to personally and professionally prepare myself for what happens next in my life if I don’t get the promotion. Do I want to stay in my industry? Do I want to stay in this state? What is it that my little heart really desires?
Goals for month one:
- Get in the habit of working out every day except for Sunday.
- Think about what you are eating before you eat it & ask yourself “Do I really want this?”
- Get to work at 8:00am and leave by 5:30pm
