TRAVEL TIPS ”Tips for Women Traveling Alone!” To learn how you can travel safer, read these tips from ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents). Some of the most travel-wise people in the world, ASTA members understand that while it pays for both men and women to be educated travelers, it is imperative for women to plan every step of their trip - from packing a suitcase to choosing a hotel room - to ensure a safe return. Know Before You Go - Learn as much about the destination as possible, especially when traveling to a foreign country. An areas religious or cultural beliefs can directly impact you, compelling you to adapt your dress and demeanor to comply with local customs. Welcome to Hotel Safety - Get to know the staff. Ask for a room on a higher floor near the elevator but away from emergency exits, stairwells, and any renovation work. While at the front desk, grab a card from the counter with the hotels name, address and phone number on it, and keep this card on you at all times. Once inside your room, make sure the door has a peephole and a deadbolt. If it doesnt, make sure you dont open the door to someone you dont know. Travel Documents - Make two copies of important travel documents one set for the trip, and one for friends or family to keep at home. Packing Smart - Pack light so you wont be weighed down and look weighed down, both of which would make you an ideal target for pickpockets. Avoid expensive looking baggage and clothing, lock all suitcases and only use covered luggage tags with your office address written on it rather than your home. Carry only one credit card, and dont keep all your money in one place. Transportation - Explore transportation options available at your destination ahead of time, especially if you will be arriving late in the evening. Know Your Surroundings - Study a map of the area you will be visiting.

You must know how to motivate yourself. You must be able to keep your spirit high no matter how discouraging a situation is. That’s the only way to get the power you need to overcome difficulties. The question is: how do you motivate yourself? Here are several tips I’ve found to be effective to build self motivation: 1. Have a cause I can’t think of a more powerful source of motivation than a cause you care about. Such cause can inspire you to give your best even in the face of difficulties. It can make you do the seemingly impossible things. While other causes could inspire you temporarily, a cause that matters to you can inspire you indefinitely. It’s a spring of motivation that will never dry. Whenever you think that you run out of motivation, you can always come to your cause to get a fresh dose of motivation. 2. Have a dream. A big dream. Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be. Having a dream is important because it’s difficult to be motivated if you don’t have anything to shoot for. Just think about people who play basketball. Will they be motivated to play if there is no basket to aim at? I don’t think so. They need a goal. You need a goal. That’s what your dream is for. But just having a dream is insufficient. Your dream must be big enough to inspire you. It must be realistic but challenging. It must stretch your ability beyond your comfort zone. 3. Be hungry Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way. -Les Brown To be truly motivated, you need to have hunger and not just desire. Having mere desire won’t take you through difficult times since you don’t want things badly enough. In many cases, hunger makes the difference between the best performers and the mediocre ones. How can you have hunger? Your cause and your dream play a big role here. If you have a cause you care about and a big dream related to it, you should have the hunger inside of you. If you think that you are losing hunger, all you need to do is to connect again to your cause and dream. Let them inspire you and bring the hunger back. 4. Run your own race I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself. -Mikhail Baryshnikov Comparing yourself with others is an effective way to demotivate yourself. Even if you start with enthusiasm, you will soon lose your energy when you compare yourself with others. Don’t let that happen to you. You have your own race so how other people perform is irrelevant. Comparing yourself with others is like comparing the performance of a swimmer with a runner using the same time standard. They are different so how can you compare one with the other? The only competitor you have is yourself. The only one you need to beat is you. Have you become the best you can be? 5. Take one more step Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. -Winston Churchill In difficult situations, just focus on taking one more step forward. Don’t think about how to complete the race. Don’t think about how many more obstacles are waiting for you. Just focus on taking the next step. 6. Let go of the past Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. -Ralph Waldo Emerson Believe it or not, one of the best demotivators is your past. Your past can drag you down before you realize it. Your past can give you a heavy burden on your shoulders. Apply these tips and motivate yourself. Don’t settle for mediocrity. Let your self-motivation take you to excellence.
