My ex boyfriend was recently sentenced to jail time for violating probation. Him and his mother are looking for programs within the system to reduce jail time. They are informed about good time, road crew and the trustee program. However, they have heard rumors of a motivational program. I was wondering what exactly the motivational program consist of?

The judge can often specify certain things that may reduce time. If there are specific programs that are routinely applied by the county jail, ask a jail supervisor.

I have survived a colorful life and overcome several challenges to go on to obtain my masters in teaching for social justice. I am a success story against the odds and would like to share my experience, strength and hope as a motivational speaker, how do I get started?

I’d volunteer to speak at a few places first. Try career day at schools or at colleges. After you build up a portfolio a little and get good you could try to get an agent. There are agencies that specialise in speakers. Or you might make yourself a website and some promotional materials and send them around to people who might want your services. Good luck!

I go to the gym and do walking, jogging and weights and want to create motivational playlists for each one I do.

Does anyone know where I can find ideas or playlists for that?

workoutmusic.com offers great ideas to assist you in motivating you during your time in the gym.

i teach aerobics so i HAVE to have upbeat workout music in order to teach class.

i use this and iTunes to help me with my gym playlist.

have fun!

I need some songs that will make me focus on tasks I am doing on the computer. I like most genres of music, nothing too heavy and nothing that will make me sleepy.

The only suggestions I won’t like are dance, rap, emo, newer punk rock (anything after 1987), and I prefer no country if possible.

Even a new band that I might like, or a new album you’ve heard lately would be great. All I ask is that it be somewhat upbeat, and motivational.

I want to try to get better abs and i want to listen to something to help me keep doing sit ups. What are some good motivational songs for any exercising as long as they’re not really gay or fruity. I like oldies, hip-hop, some rock and alternative. Thanks.
