Why Trying New Things Can Change Your Life - Hallie Crawford

Why Trying New Things Can Change Your Life I was recently in Los Angeles for a 3 day marketing conference to learn how to be a better marketer in my career coaching practice. It was an awesome learning experience and an eye opener which led me to try something new which I had previously dismissed as not for me. I found myself in a room with a lot of holistic healers.   HmmI was in sunny California with lots of sprouts, avocados, veggie and fruit juicing, massage therapy, meditation, and spiritual leaders and just a downright relaxed attitude.   Not something a Type -A, New Yorker like myself could easily get into. But, this time it caused me to PAUSE. The facilitator used meditation every morning to help us to center ourselves and be ready (in a calm way) for the very long day and to be open to whatever happened in the day.   Okay a little woo-woo, and I admit I kept one eye open during the process.   But, as I focused on my breathing, became still and just listened to her guided meditation, I really liked it. When I got home, I investigated further.   My research led me to chakras, Om, mantras, inner peace, and creativity.   It was fascinating to me.     So when I received an e-mail from Oprah introducing me to Deepak Chopras free 21 Days of Guided Meditation, I decided to try it.   I found that being a skeptic actually helped as I learned to just let the negative labels go and be in the moment.   I also found that I gifted myself with 20 minutes of quietness each morning.   I felt less stress and anxiety as I started my day.   So, now I am a believer and new practitioner of meditation. The moral of the story:   Think about what new ideas or thinking you have turned your nose up at in the past.   Why not PAUSE and reframe your rejection to one of acceptance and a try it attitude.   You may just find something you love that will be part of your lifeI did.   Namaste.  and  Katie Weiser Career Coaches P.S.  Are you in the ideal career for you?  Find out if you’re in the right career with our  Ideal Career Quiz.

Top Cities for Jobs are San Jose, S.F. and Seattle If you’re a job-seeker, you might expect tech-industry hotbeds like Seattle and San Francisco to be happening places for employment prospects. But those aren’t the only cities that are hiring, according to new research from Glassdoor. In its new ranking of the 25 best cities for jobs, Glassdoor ranked the top 5 cities for jobs as follows: San Jose San Francisco Seattle Boston Washington, D.C. Chicago (#22) has the most available jobs with a little over 170,000, while top spot holder San Jose also has the distinction of having the only six-figure median salary of $112,000. The flip side is that the median home price in San Jose is also the highest among the ranked cities at nearly a million dollars ($956,500, to be exact). The Golden State had three cities in the top 25 (San Diego was #21)., but so did a heartland sleeper, Ohio: Columbus and Cleveland ranked #14 and #15, respectively, while Cincinnati ranked #23. According to Allison Berry, Glassdoor community expert, Ohio’s strengths are a large number of open positions combined with a much lower cost of living than big coastal hubs like New York City, San Francisco or Los Angeles. “Ohio stands out for offering some of the greatest job prospects along with a lower cost of living that allows more employees to live comfortably,” she said. To come up with its rankings, Glassdoor looked at the number of job openings in each city, the median salary and the median home value to get a sense of the cost of living. The site also analyzed a couple quality-of-life metrics that indicate how happy people are at work and how well they can achieve work-life balance in their lives. Glassdoor also flagged plenty of hot jobs that have little to do with computers.
