Career Choices
When the search for a new career or job feels aimless, a career counsellor or coach can help you identify possibilities that might be different from what you’ve done in the past. There are many career counsellors out there nowadays, so finding one should not be to difficult.
Identifying all your options is the first step, but it’s not enough. A coach can help you evaluate those options in terms of how well they fit with your strengths, values, and goals. They can also help you develop a plan for pursuing the option that seems like the best fit. Finally, a coach can provide support and accountability as you take steps towards your new career.
If you’re feeling stuck in your job search, or just uncertain about what you want to do next, coaching can help you get clarity and move forward with confidence.
SETTING Realistic GOALS
Setting goals and seeing yourself accomplish them one by one is one of the most gratifying feels in the world. Once you learn how to stick to goals, you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. The more you apply yourself when it comes to your goals, the better results you will have in the end.
Having self-belief is a necessary factor in developing selfconfidence, a trait that can give individuals the assurance they have the abilities to complete a goal. Believing in yourself is the first step towards sticking to your goals and finally crossing them off the list.
By writing down your goals, you are already creating a visual of what needs to be accomplished. Then, as you complete your goals, you can cross them off, giving you a sign of achievement and motivation to keep you going.
You can write down your goals –short and long term – and create daily to-do lists to watch and see yourself accomplish each one.

WHAT PRODUCTS ARE OUT THERE?
New and improved fillers are constantly being researched, tested, and evaluated. Other types of hyaluronic acid products which may last longer may be offered. Hybird fillers, which contain small spheres and bovine collagen, are another form of partially permanent fillers. Micro-droplet silicone is a more permanent filler. Dermal stimulators, stimulate the skin cells to produce collagen. Since collagen production takes time, dermal stimulators do not offer the instant gratification provided by soft tissue fillers. Dermal stimulators are injected on a monthly basis, and the wrinkles gradually diminish over time. The treatment cycle typically spans 3 to 5 months with the results lasting up to two years. Dermal stimulators can be combined with soft tissue fillers to achieve both immediate short-term correction and delayed long-term correction.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AND AFTER TREATMENT?
Injections are usually given in a dermatologist’s office. Before beginning treatment, a skin test may be administered to determine if you are likely to have an allergic reaction to the filling substance; however,
most of the new fillers on the market do not require skin testing. The dermatologist may ask about the use of aspirin, warfarin (coumadin), alcohol, green tea, and St. John’s wort since these may increase a patient’s tendency to bruise. Prior to the procedure, the face is cleaned and a topical, of local anesthetic may be used. The filler is injected directly into the area to be treated using a very small needle. There may be a stinging or burning sensation as the filler is inserted. A series of treatment sessions may be necessary to fill and smooth the lines and wrinkles, or raise a depressed scar to the level of the surrounding skin. After the procedure, there may be some temporary swelling, redness, or minor bruising at the injections sites. This usually subsides quickly. Makeup can be applied immediately after the treatment.
ARE THERE ANY POSSIBLE RISKS?
All medical procedures carry some risk. However, soft tissue fillers are generally considered safe and effective. Apart from an allergic reaction to the injected substance, side effects are few and typically due to the local injection.
