However, I have never heeded that, and I got the same advice a few weeks ago — so maybe I should have! There have been a few challenges during my career and probably the hardest one was coming from a secretarial background and being accepted as a health and safety professional in an industry which was predominantly male at the time.
The other challenge that sticks in my mind was the requirement to go offshore which I had no issue with; however, I had a fear of water and the thought of doing my survival course made me feel physically sick! However, I overcame that and passed my survival and really enjoyed going offshore. The highlight of my career was being involved in a project when I worked at Total to implement Telemedicine offshore on the Alwyn platform. This involved installing hardware and software offshore which was linked to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where personnel could be seen remotely by a doctor, which would prevent personnel being medevaced onshore unnecessarily.
During this project I spent a lot of time offshore and working with the project team in Brussels and London. The system was installed successfully on Alwyn and the team won an innovation prize for the work and my award sits proudly in my office.

Your JavaScript is Disabled! Toggle navigation. Photo by eyeeecandi. Look at my life -- Then look at yours. Get some ambition. Why you bored? Time will never wait on no man. Sleep better? Manage a chronic condition? Write down your goals. Seeing the benefits of regular exercise and writing your goals down on paper may help you stay motivated. You may also find that it helps to keep an exercise diary. Record what you did during each exercise session, how long you exercised and how you felt afterward.
Recording your efforts and tracking your progress can help you work toward your goals and remind you that you're making progress. You're not in this alone. Invite friends or co-workers to join you when you exercise or go on walks. Work out with your partner or other loved ones. Play soccer with your kids. Organize a group of neighbors to take fitness classes at a local health club or work out together virtually on video. After each exercise session, take a few minutes to savor the good feelings that exercise gives you.
This type of internal reward can help you make a long-term commitment to regular exercise. External rewards can help too. When you reach a longer range goal, treat yourself to a new pair of walking shoes or new tunes to enjoy while you exercise. If you're too busy to work out or simply don't feel up to it, take a day or two off. Go easy on yourself if you need a break. The important thing is to get back on track as soon as you can. Now that you've regained your enthusiasm, get moving! Set your goals, make it fun and pat yourself on the back from time to time.
