Native Lifestyle Balance Session 16 - Duration: 27:37.
♪
Ya'at'eeh, I'm Roz Barber here with Carol Percy. We are your lifestyle coaches.
We have reached Session 16, Native Lifestyle Balance.
And our topic today is 'Ways to Stay Motivated'.
Think about the personal accomplishment you made
through the 16 sessions of Native Lifestyle Balance.
And congratulations on that success.
By completing Native Lifestyle Balance, you took important step towards living a healthier life.
In Navajo, we say...
Today, we are going to talk about how to stay motivated for the long term
and how to make your commitment to healthy eating and physical activity last for a lifetime.
But first let's review your progress since the beginning of the program.
Please complete the progress review on page 3.
First, write down what changes you have made to be more active.
♪
Then record changes you have made to eat less fat and fewer calories.
Use your food diaries if that helps you remember your successes.
♪
Use your 'How Am I Doing Graph' to answer the question,
'Have you reached your weight goal?' And check yes or no.
Let's look at Betty's 'How Am I Doing Graph' as an example.
Today, Betty weighs 187 lbs.
So today,
we write the date down here,
and then Betty weighs 187 lbs. So we're going to go up to 185, 86, 87
and go over to the correct place and graph
today's weight.
So today, Betty is 1 lb. from her 7% weight loss goal.
So here's her 7% weight loss goal of 186. She's only got 1 pound to go to get there.
The 7% weight loss goal that we drew at session 1 on our 'How Am I Doing Graph'
is over a 6 month period of time or about 26 weeks.
Betty is currently at 16 weeks
into her 7% weight loss goal and yet she is almost at her goal.
So it is important that Betty stays motivated to lose that last pound and reach her goal.
If you are at your weight loss goal, congratulations!
If you are still working toward your goal like Betty, that is fine.
Remember that Native Lifestyle Balance is a lifelong commitment,
and I have confidence you can achieve your goals.
♪
Next ask yourself if you have reached your activity goal and check yes or no on page 3.
Betty was active 150 minutes this week.
So let's graph Betty's activity.
Here is today's date.
Once you've written down the date,
go up the line
and find 150 minutes,
and that's how many minutes of activity Betty achieved this week.
So Betty has reached her activity goal, but that doesn't mean she can stop activity.
Research shows that the key to maintaining weight loss is to keep up the activity.
As soon as the person decreases their activity minutes, it is common to see the weight go up.
Activity is the key to weight loss maintenance,
and weight loss is the key to diabetes prevention.
So the first key to weight loss maintenance over a lifetime is to keep on moving it.
At the bottom of page 3 is a space
to write down what your future goals are.
If you have reached your 7%
weight loss goal, write down a new goal.
You might choose to maintain the weight you have lost.
Or you might choose to set a goal of 5 more pounds of weight loss.
Be realistic.
If you have not reached your goal
for the weight loss or activity
or have strayed from healthy eating,
write down what you plan to do next
to try to reach your goal.
People who enter
weight loss maintenance have the most chance of success by keeping a food diary and recording activity minutes.
Whether or not you are at your
goal for weight loss and activity, praise the progress you made in a honest way.
Keep weighing yourself as the scale is your friend in giving you information about weight re-gain.
Set a specific goal for yourself about the dangers of weight re-gain,
and make a positive action plan to prevent re-gaining the weight you have lost.
For me, 5 pounds of weight gain means I need to re-evaluate my eating and activity.
Be specific in the action you will take.
I check my weight every morning, and if I see my weight climb by 5 pounds,
I re-focus in on eating less fat and sweets.
I also make sure I do daily activity until I see the scale reverse direction.
Motivation is crucial to maintaining healthy eating and physical activity for the long term.
But staying motivated is one of the biggest problem people face.
Sometimes staying motivated is difficult.
Just because we're doing well.
That is how progress itself makes it hard to maintain that progress.
But think back to
when you first joined the program.
You may have felt tired when you went upstairs in your home,
motivating you to become more active.
Now that you can
climb stairs easily your source of motivation from feeling tired is now gone.
So you need new motivation.
Maybe trying an activity you have never done before.
Betty tried using
hand weights for new motivation like this.
It is the same for weight.
When you first found Native Lifestyle Balance, your clothes may have been tight motivating you to lose weight.
If your clothes are looser now, you no longer have tight fitting clothes as a source of motivation.
One tip from other participants who started weight loss maintenance
is to measure your waist with a belt or a piece of string.
So Roz is measuring her waist with a piece of string.
Then measure your waist with a belt or string at least once a week.
If you notice the string tightening at your waist or if you have to loosen your belt,
follow the action plan you set for weight re-gain.
♪
Page 4 to 9 of your handout has 9 tips for staying motivated.
Pick ideas that work for you.
One tip is to keep visible signs of your progress like monthly activity calendar
in a location where you see at least once a day.
For instance, you could hang the calendar on your bathroom mirror.
This is a monthly activity calendar that allows you to track your activity, your weight, and your food diary
all in one calendar.
The calendar also allows you to total your activity minutes in a week.
To start your calendar, first record your name,
weight goal,
and activity goal.
Write in the days of the month.
Carol is making the calendar for December.
Next, record your daily activity minutes,
how much you weigh,
and when you record your eating.
You can do this same
record keeping on any calendar you use at home.
So let me demonstrate how to use the activity calendar.
The first thing you want to do, let's just say we're doing this week here.
So let's say that Betty walks for 30 minutes on Sunday.
So you'd write walk 30.
And then she weighs herself, and she weighs 188 lbs.
And so she decides that because she went up a pound she's going to record her
eating the next day. So you give yourself a check that you
kept your food diary.
She weighed herself again, and she was still 188 but couldn't fit in any activity that day.
She fit in her work break activity here for walking 30 more minutes.
She didn't weigh herself this day or keep track.
Then... this day she did fit in her activity again of walking
for 30 minutes, and she weighed and she's back down to 187.
And then...
she didn't have any walking on Thursday or Friday.
And on Saturday, she walked again for 30 minutes.
And she weighed herself, and she was again 187 lbs.
So then when you get to the end of an entire week,
then you add up your total for activity minutes.
And so let's see what Betty did.
30, 60, 90, 120, so then here she would write 120.
In this way, on one page of paper you have a visible sign of your progress.
You can find this activity calendar at this website:
♪
That calendar is a great tool Carol.
Now let's briefly review some of the great tips
from the 16 Native Lifestyle sessions.
Session 1: Weigh yourself regularly. Keep a food diary.
Session 2: Gain awareness of the amount of fat and calorie in food.
Think if you have lost 5 lbs you will have this much less fat in your body. Wow.
Session 3: The 3 ways to eat less fat and calories.
Eat a smaller serving of fry bread.
Eat the high fat fry bread less often.
Or eat the low fat tortilla instead.
Session 4: Eat fruits and vegetables and a variety of different foods.
Session 5 and 6: Just Move It!
Session 7: Tip the calorie balance.
Session 8: Identify positive food and activity cues.
Remember when I responded to the food cue of the Navajo Taco sign?
Session 9: Problem solve with action plan and break your problem chain.
Session 10: When you eat out choose wisely at the restaurant like Masani's Grill.
Session 11: Talk back to negative thoughts.
Session 12: Overeating once no matter how extreme will not ruin everything.
Get back on track as soon as you can.
So if I overate
hamburger, french fries and some mutton stew,
then the next day I want to get back on track.
Session 13: Add variety to your activity routine.
Try strength exercise.
Session 14: Social situation other people influence
what we eat.
Would you like some chips, Roz? No thank you, Carol.
Session 15: You can manage stress.
Find a trusted friend to talk with.
And finally Session 16:
Stay motivated to maintain your healthy lifestyle.
Continue to use the tool you learned during these 16 sessions.
Continue your work of setting and reaching healthy goal, self motivating, staying motivated, and overcoming barriers.
You can keep learning
and growing towards new goals even without our coaching advice.
Two resources we recommend are the National Diabetes Program sessions from months 7 to 12,
and the Native Lifestyle Balance after core sessions.
You can find these resources at these websites.

♪
Now let's learn to make the NLB chicken stir-fry.
Here's the recipe.
Cook along with us if you bought the ingredients after session 15.
So let's look at the recipe.
The recipe calls for 1 lb. of round steak, chicken breast or tofu.
We're going to use chicken.
And Roz and I have already cut it up. This is just chicken breast with no skin.
Then 2 to 3 cloves of garlic. This is 2 cloves of chopped garlic.
If you don't want to use fresh garlic, which looks like this when you buy it in the produce,
then you can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Be sure you get powder, garlic powder and not salt and then your meal will have less salt in it.
This is a 1/4 cup of soy sauce. I like to buy the
light soy sauce which is usually either has a green cap or green label,
because that's low sodium soy sauce, and soy sauce is really high in salt.
This is 2 tablespoons of brown sugar already measured.
We're going to use ginger.
This is both gingers, just are different brand gingers.
We're going to use 2 teaspoons of corn starch.
And then we've chosen these vegetables, and we've already chopped them up. So we're going to use carrots,
celery,
2 to 3 - oops sorry - 2 to 3 green onions.
This is the broccoli that's chopped.
Roz is holding up the zucchini.
And if you like any other vegetables like mushrooms, peppers, you can add that in yourself.
So we already have all the things cut up and prepared.
And so the first thing we're going to do is just add some cooking spray into our pan to keep the meat from sticking.
We're kind of lucky, because this pan is already pretty stick free.
And so we want to be cooking it at about medium heat, which Roz is adjusting for us.
We're going to take the garlic and put it in here
along with all the spices. So we're going to put the garlic.
We're going to add the onion,
and the chicken.
And Roz, I'll give you the
spatula there, and you can stir it and cook it up until it gets. You can tell that the chicken is cooking.
The other spices that we're going to use
are ginger, and we're not even going to put salt and pepper in today.
So here's the ginger, and we want to use a 1/4 teaspoon of ginger. So I'll measure that in.
(sizzling)
Mmmm that already smells good.
It does. It smells good.
(sizzling)
So as we cook it, then I'm just going to tell you a few other things about this recipe.
So people always say I can't eat fruits and vegetables because they cost too much.
And so this is a meal that has a lot of vegetables mainly in it and the vegetables
all the ingredients that you see here on the table cost $9.00.
And so you're going to get for $9.00 about 4 servings of this chicken stir-fry.
This is brown rice. It looks like this. We have this much leftover from your $9.00 for another meal.
And stir it up a little more, Roz, there. I'm going to turn your heat up a little cause I can hear that it's slowing down
the sizzle.
I'm going to give you even a little more heat, Roz, and so keep stirring it up so it gets brown.
So I was talking about the brown rice. So this is brown rice and it's whole grain if you remember from Session 4.
And we're going to add that in at the end. We already have cooked it.
So because brown rice takes longer to cook, you're going to have to boil that rice before that you actually add it in.
If you want when we go to serve, you could serve the rice and then
serve the stir-fry on top, but we're going to put it all into the pan together.
Now once we get it all made up for you if it looks like
you know that it's not going to be enough to serve your family,
because you have more than 4 people, then just double your ingredients.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with all the spices that we're using, but
ginger is kind of a spice if you've ever had ginger snap cookies.
And soy sauce... everybody's probably had and garlic. So looking good Roz.
(sizzling)
So some of the vegetables that are going to take a little longer to cook
are the carrots and the celery. So let's throw those in while you're cooking the chicken.
And this is the idea behind stir-fry. You just keep stirrin.
(laugh)
to cook.
It smells good. You can smell the ginger.
And you're working your muscles while your doing this. That's right. That's right.
It's really colorful, too.
So you can see that the chicken is browning up a little, and it's getting
a little more cooked. Just keep stirring and it will cook it faster.
That's very beautiful. Let's add the broccoli, because broccoli takes a while
to cook.
(sizzling)
If you wanted to with vegetables you can put the cover on and just let it steam a little bit.
♪
Wow Roz, you've been stirring. Look at how pretty the broccoli's turning a really nice color of green.
You kind of don't want to overcook the vegetables or they get to look kind of wilty.
And we're going to add in the zucchini now,
because that's a quicker cooking vegetable.
And while that zucchini is cooking, let's just look at the nutrition information at the bottom of your recipe.
So it says that this part the vegetables and chicken are going to make 4-one cup servings.
And with chicken, it's about 230 calories per serving and 4 grams of fat.
And if you use beef, it's about 252 calories and 5 grams of fat.
And tofu's 105 calories and 2 grams of fat, because tofu is the least fatty food.
And then if you add in the brown rice, it makes your meal about...
it adds about 108 calories to your meal.
And so your total in calories for this meal are going to be right around 400 calories which is really great for a meal.
So now that these vegetables are...
and the chicken's looking pretty done,
what you want to do, Roz, is kind of push the vegetables to the outside and make a hole right in the middle here.
Okay.
And then we're going to add in a 1/4 cup of soy sauce.
So I forgot to bring a 1/4 cup to my kitchen today,
so I know that a 1/4 cup is about 4 tablespoons. So I'm going to measure 4
tablespoons of soy sauce into the recipe.
There's one,
two,
and you can
use however much soy sauce you want.
And then next after we do the soy sauce, we're going to add some brown sugar into the middle of it.
And the brown sugar just
takes a little bit of the bitter taste out of the soy sauce.
How about just stirring it around and I think it will soften up?
And just kind of just keep that in the middle
until the brown sugar gets mixed into the soy sauce.
It looks like it's making the sauce.
And then you use the cornstarch,
the 2 teaspoons of cornstarch the recipe calls for. You use that to thicken up the sauce.
So it's like it'll be kind of like in a
when you go out to eat at a Chinese restaurant.
So there's one teaspoon of cornstarch
and two teaspoons.
So go ahead and stir that in until it makes kind of a sauce.
You can see it thickening up. Yeah. It is.
There you go.
And now that you've made your sauce, then you can start mixing the sauce in with the vegetables.
See how as you move that vegetables and chicken around then the
sauce gets
coated onto the food that's in our pan.
Smells very good. It does smell good.
Looks good, too.
We didn't overcook the vegetables.
Now I have another hint. If you are really busy
and you don't want to take the time to chop up all the vegetables,
you can just get a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and put it into the stir-fry.
That's great, Roz. And so our rice is already cooked, so now I'm going to have Roz stir in the rice for us.
(sizzling and stirring)
How's it look, Roz? Looks good.
You ready to try some? Of course.
I can't wait. Alright, let's serve some onto those plates there.
I'll give you a tree here. Thank you.
Want some more? No, that's good. You serve yourself.
Okay.
And I'm going to grab a fork. You grab yours.
And let's have a taste.
It's good.
What do you think?
Very good. It's very good.
I like stir-fries because
they're quick and easy.
It tastes better than the chip you offered me earlier. I bet.
Thanks, Carol for teaching me hw
to make stir-fry. Sure, Roz.
Now take the time to plan for staying motivated over the next few weeks and months.
There are handouts at the end of session 16
to create an action plan to keep you motivated.
Our sincere thanks to your interest in Native Lifestyle Balance.
Thanks for sticking with us the last 16 weeks.
As we close out the 16 session of Native Lifestyle
think about the distance you have come
and the tools you now have to make and maintain positive lifestyle change.
You can succeed. We believe in you.

♪
Yá'át'ééh. Welcome to Session 15: You Can Manage Stress. We are your lifestyle coaches. I'm Roz Barber with Carol Percy.
In this session, we'll be focusing on how the stresses in life can work against us and our Native Lifestyle Balance goal.
This week we will talk about how to prevent stress and to cope with stress we cannot avoid.
Come up with an action plan for either preventing a stressful situation or coping with it.
Hope you weighed yourself and graphed your progress on your 'How Am I Doing' graph for weight and activity.
Let's check in with Betty's weight loss progress.
Betty lost another pound this week so weighs 188 lbs. So let's graph 188. We'll put today's date.
And then here's 190. So 189, 188, move all the way over and here's 188 lbs.
Betty is only 2 pounds away from her 7% weight loss goal of 186 pounds. Very exciting.
♪
Betty completed 150 minutes of activity this week by continuing to walk on her work breaks.
She took one walk over the weekend and she spent one evening again doing strength training at the fitness center.
So let's graph Betty's
achievement of 150 minutes of activity this week. We'll put the date down here.
And then this line represents 150, so we'll graph her dot right here.
Everyone faces pressure.
Whether from other people or ourself, these pressure influence the way we feel, think and make decisions.
The tension that develops in response to these pressures is stress.
Any change, good or bad, big or small can cause stress.
Stress is a natural part of life.
Big changes or events in our life like getting married, having a serious illness, or changing jobs can cause stress.
Even small events like losing our keys, having a birthday, having a flat tire, or running errands can cause stress.
Notice that not all stressors are negative.
An event like a kinaalda is a positive event that causes stress.
The kinaalda itself is a positive honoring of a girl's maturity.
The stress comes from not knowing exactly when the kinaalda will occur,
so the ceremony causes a disruption in your normal routine.
Additional stress comes from all the decisions to prepare for the ceremony,
the gathering of all the things needed for the ceremony,
the loss of sleep during the ceremony, and worrying about how the cake will turn out.
Let's look at page 3
in your lesson
and take a moment to record the kinds of situation that makes you feel stressed.
I was stressed this week trying to meet a deadline at work.
Betty shared with me that one of her kids
was sick and couldn't go to school this week, so she had the stress of unexpectedly trying to find a babysitter.
Paying bills is very stressful for many people,
especially when an unexpected event like a car repair happens or when the family or friend asks for a financial help.
When I am stressed I sometimes get a headache. I feel muscle tension in my neck, and I can't sleep.
Many people react to stress by changing their eating and activity habits.
Some people eat and drink too much as a way to deal with stress.
Others may stop eating when stressed.
Some people become inactive and withdrawn when in a stressful situation.
When I am stressed, I eat differently by treating myself to a sugary food.
And if the stress takes time to deal with, I might run out of time and skip my daily walk.
These changes in my daily habits decrease my chance at lifestyle success.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
And this is certainly true when it comes to stress.
The best approach to
avoiding the effects of stress is to prevent stress whenever you can.
Some ways to prevent stress are listed on page 4.
The first idea is to practice saying No, Dooda, whenever possible.
Say No when someone asks you to do something you do not want to do.
Say Yes, Aoo',
only when others want you to do is important to you.
Saying No can be hard.
Saying No can cause stress.
But that stress is usually short lived.
If you say Yes, you may have hours, weeks, or months of stress as you complete whatever you agreed to do.
Another way to avoid stress is to share some of the work load with others,
both at home and at your job.
Delegate what you can to someone else.
For example, your spouse and children can help clean the house, prepare meals and do laundry.
A co-worker might be able to help with a overwhelming work project.
Sharing work does not mean you being irresponsible.
Giving responsibility to others,
even if they are not as experienced as you, gives them a chance to learn, participate, and gain experience.
Do not expect those helping you to be perfect.
Criticizing those who are trying to help can create another source of stress.
Instead thank them for their efforts and be patient as they gain skills.
Another tip to reduce stress is to set goal you can reach.
Sometime we create our own stress by trying to be perfect.
If we set reasonable goal, we are more likely to succeed.
When we succeed, we are less likely to feel stress.
Remember, we talked about this when we focus negative thoughts.
If we try to be perfect, we probably will not succeed. Take a good look at the demands you are placing on yourself.
Ask yourself, "Am I expecting myself to do more than anyone could possibly do?"
Take charge of your time.
Make schedules that are realistic.
Do not schedule yourself to accomplish in 30 minutes what realistically will take an hour.
Take a good look at your 'to-do list'.
Eliminate what is not necessary and give yourself a realistic amount of time to accomplish the rest.
Get organized.
Chaos is stressful and inefficient.
Devote some time everyday to getting organized, and you will save time and stress in the long run.
Use the 5 steps for solving problem that we discussed in session 9.
Continue the problem solving process until you find a solution.
Sitting on a problem can cause even more stress.
Instead solve the stressful problem and move on.
Plan ahead.
Think about the kind of situations that are stressful for you.
Those situations put you at high risk for unhealthy eating or skipping activity.
So plan ahead for how to handle these situations or work around them.
For example, are the holidays especially stressful for you?
If so, plan some ways to make your life easier during the holiday season.
Maybe you could buy healthy frozen meals to have on hand for some particularly busy days.
You might decide that you don't have to put up as many holiday lights, and you can spend the same
time relaxing instead of fussing with decorations.
Keep things in perspective. Remember your purpose.
Maintain a positive attitude.
Think of all the good things in your life.
Remember why you joined this program.
Reach out to people who can help.
Think about who you can turn to for support.
Ask supportive people to help
when you are overwhelmed or need someone to encourage you.
Be physically active.
Many people find that being active helps them cope with stress,
makes them feel more relaxed and helps them manage stressful situations more smoothly.
♪
If none of these ideas are useful and we cannot avoid stress, there are some tips on page 5.
Try to notice that if you feel stressed as early as you can.
We talked in session 9 about the action or the behavior chain
and the importance of breaking them as early as possible.
The same is true of stress.
If you recognize the sign of stress early,
tight neck muscle, stomach ache, you can take positive action to manage this stress.
With an early recognition of stress,
you may avoid some of these harmful consequences of stress,
such as overeating or being inactive.
There are some simple ways to manage stress.
Take a 10-minute time-out.
Stop what you're doing and take a few minutes for yourself doing something helpful that does not involve food.
During the time-out, you could move your muscles by stretching or walking.
The distraction of movement and the breathing with movement can make you feel better.
Most of us tend to hold our breath when we are stressed.
This creates more tension in the body and mind.
So when you catch yourself feeling stressed, try deep breathing.
Take a full deep breath.
Then exhale while you count to 5.
Try deep breathing, Roz, while I give you the clues.
Take a deep breath in.
Now slowly exhale as I count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Good.
Repeat a few times until you feel more calm.
You could also pamper yourself in a way that does not involve food.
Take a hot bath, manicure your nails, massage your shoulders and neck, read a magazine or say a prayer.
Do something to take 10 minutes for yourself.
Navajo tradition and beliefs can help to manage stress.
What my parents taught me is not to sit there and let things get to you.
Go to on top of the hill, take a deep breath, and look around.
I was taught that the Holy People come out early in the morning to give out blessing.
So if you get up early to be there and meet the Holy People to get your share of blessing.
Being spiritual through praying each day helps people decrease stress.
Reach out to someone you can trust to talk about the stress you are feeling.
Think about a person who will listen in a non-judgemental way,
keep your confidence, and offer helpful advice when you ask.
Then make an effort to stay in contact with that person so you continue talking.
Talking can help you feel more in control of your feelings.
If you hear yourself using the words should have,
remember the hints from Session 11 about talking back to negative thoughts.
We understand that this program itself and the lifestyle change you are working towards may cause stress.
Changing your behavior and managing those change in your family can create pressure and tension.
The handout on page 6 describes some Native Lifestyle Balance
stressors and offers idea to manage those stressors.
Look down the list to find the things that are helpful to you.
I like the idea of saying No, Dooda, to an invitation that are not important to me
and having a discussion with a co-worker while we take a walk.
In Roz and my Native Lifestyle Balance coaching experience, a lot of people talk about financial stress.
So let's make an action plan about financial stress.
Let's say your brother stops by to ask you for money to help pay a bill and says he will pay you back next week
when he gets his paycheck.
You know you have given him money before, and he has not paid you back.
You also know you have a tight family budget.
You feel a family obligation to help
your brother, but giving him the money will impact your family budget and you might never be paid back.
That's a good one. So let's brainstorm the option.
You could give your brother the money he needs.
But that decision will increase the stress of managing your family budget.
And if he doesn't pay you
back the money again, you'll have the added stress of resenting your brother for not keeping his word.
So giving a brother the money does not seem like a great option.
I would say No, Dooda, to my brother and say I won't give him the money because he didn't pay me back the last time.
That might cause the stress of an argument and making him mad at me.
I could say No, Dooda, to my brother but offer him to help problem solve his budget.
This seems like an option that might work.
Roadblock that might come up or he might not follow the budget plan and ask for money again.
But I can't give him money
if it will negatively impact my family and cause me more stress.
Use the handout on page 7
and take the time to make an action plan for the thing causing you the most stress right now.
Then follow the plan and evaluate your plan and see if your stress decreases.
During the next week, remember to keep track of your weight, eating and activity.

5 Best Flexible jobs in LA that suit the entrepreneurial lifestyle - Duration: 5:42.
hi everyone hope you're having a great day welcome to my channel my name is
Ketorah Williams and I'm an actress today I'm going to be talking about five
of the best jobs that you could get in LA this video will be suited for people
who are actors creatives musicians entrepreneurs so the kind of jobs I'm
going to be talking about are obviously a job that is flexible in demand decent
pay possibly with the opportunity to get tips on top of the basic pay and where
possible in the creative industries so you're always networking 24/7
all the time this is a networking town anyway where everything is really based
on relationships of who you know so let's get started job number one I'm
gonna say would be if you can get a job as a casting assistant for any casting
director in any casting office in LA that is always a good start you'd be
working freelance so it wouldn't be full-time maybe as and when required and
it would be great experience because obviously you're gonna see what goes on
behind the camera you're gonna be able to network with agents with directors
with producers with actors and so yeah job number one would be definitely
casting assistant in a casting office job number two would be a PA to a
casting director now let me just be clear as if here you would be working 16
17 18 hour days it would not be an easy job by any stretch of the imagination
and it probably won't be very exciting either you've been in a lot of menial
tasks going to get the tea going to get the coffee
paper work phone calls however you would be the casting directors right hand and
there's so many opportunities that can come out and come out of that
not sure if you could get that freelance so I think that might be more of a
full-time or at least you know a 30 hour a week commitment type of job job number
three would be a children's entertainer now in LA there are loads of celebrities
who have children and celebrities like spending money on their children so if
you're somebody that is good at doing princess parties superhero parties you
or maybe a magician you've got some kind of magic tricks skills or all of the
above and you know you can include a bit of balloon making definitely get with an
agency who can hook you up and get you doing celebrity parties or parties for
people and parties for wealthy people as an entertainer job number 4 would be dog
walking everybody in LA has a dog everybody in LA works so therefore some
people don't always have the time to walk their dogs you can get that job in
any neighborhood anywhere in LA all times of the day people will pay you
people love their pets if you are a dog lover and animal lover and you can
manage a bunch of dogs in a park then definitely go for that you'll also be
outside in this you'll be you know you'll be able to do kind of what you
want to a degree as well because of you obviously you can take the dogs for walk
wherever you like and I think that would be quite a nice job and if you like
animals and if you're able to manage dogs that get into an argument or dogs
that have a bit of a bicker without getting frightened and last but not
least job number five would be an uber or lyft driver there are so many people
in LA who like to get transported about for a number of reasons you will never
be short of work even though there are lots of drivers there is always people
who want an uber or lyft and LA is such a
place with things being so far apart and that yeah you will definitely make your
money from that even if people are doing the uber pool what I would say obviously
is you do need to have your license and you do need to be very confident on the
road there is a lot of traffic not only do you need to be confident but you need
to be the kind of person who can remain a very calm under pressure you can't be
getting any kind of road rage and you need to remember that your customers
will be marking you like with stars from a one which is extremely
disappointing to a 5 star therefore if you're not meeting your lyft
company criteria in terms of the customer feedback if you're not
providing a good service then they are simply going to fire you so yeah it may
be you find anything helpful or useful or if you have any further questions

I'll be back with more soon
