Read MoreFocus Outcome Not Process- One Minute with Jay
Focus on the outcome and not the process because the end result is what you are working for.
I hate running but love how I feel afterwards: lighter, faster, stronger, energetic. But I have to get over how I feel in my head.
I dread the sweat in my eyes, the pain I sometimes in my knees. But I keep going because I know and remind myself of what I am running for.
Your race is not over, focus on the outcome, remind yourself of the why behind starting your race.

Read MoreResumes that stand out- Pass the 30 Second Test- One Minute with Jay
Resumes that stand out typically pass a 30 second test. If you give your resume to an absolute stranger will they be able to figure out:
1. What type of job you are applying for?
2. What qualifications make you unique?
And the stranger has to be able to do this in 30 seconds or less. That’s about how long a recruiter or busy hiring manager will look at your resume.
Being an HR Manager myself and when we had to fill 10 to 15 entry level jobs I did not have the time to over analyze each sheet of paper.
I had to make quick decisions on whether to interview or not, while thumbing through sometimes hundreds of resumes.
And those were just the resumes that our ATS narrowed down. There is a technique for getting the ATS from passing over your qualifications as well.
Check out the video above and let me know if you have comments or how I can help you.

Read MoreTrust in the timing of your life- One Minute with Jay
Trust in the timing of your life. Your life my not look like someone else’s.
Your path may not look like your friend’s path or your neighbor’s path.
We all have our individual road to travel and it’s okay if it takes longer. I am learning this in my own life while trying to have a child with my wife. We have been trying for close to a year now and nothing has happened.
The doctors can’t explain it, they just keep saying to keep trying. Frustration is setting in but I know my path may not be similar to anyone around me.
If I get caught up in how easy it has been for others then I will never receive my own bundle of joy.
In the same regard you may be trying to give birth to something wonderful. A new business, new idea, new way of living but the process may be slow.
I’m here to tell you that it is okay for the movement to be slow, as long as you do not give up on yourself.
Trust the timing in your life is perfect, even if late by your standards. Your baby will come when it is time. #trustintheprocess

Read MoreBuilding self esteem tips- Part 1- One Minute with Jay
This will be the first of a short series on building self esteem tips.
If you enjoy the post please don’t forget to comment or share ?. Your comments always help to make content geared towards your needs.
Okay now with that out of the way let’s talk. Self esteem is the emotional worth you place on yourself and if you do not deem yourself worthy (or worthless)then it is likely you are attracting worthless people/events into your life.
If you rated yourself on a scale of one to ten (ten being Madonna confident, one being you cannot even look in the mirror without criticizing yourself) where would you fall?
If you would rate yourself as a 5 or lower I believe that there is still some work to do.
The tip for today is to pick out one trait about yourself that you like. I don’t care if it’s only your beautiful elbows. Whatever it is begin to concentrate on what makes you attractive. What can you add to a relationship?

Read MoreDealing with a lack of motivation- One Minute with Jay
When dealing with a lack of motivation I prefer to increase physical activity.
I can’t tell you how many times I did not want to study, or complete homework especially as an adult working towards advanced degrees.
It’s tough. Currently, I fight staying on a healthy diet. I’m trying to limit my carbs….but boyyy sometimes double cheeseburgers ? start calling my name.
That’s why I exercise. Not to have an excuse to bury my face in glorious ground beef on toasted seasame buns but to combat my motivation droughts.
I learned that physical activity increases cognitive ability. So I can increase my concentration by taking a walk or jog or even hitting the dumbbells real quick.
The next time you feel unmotivated try to get moving and go back to whatever was the object of your procrastination.
