  • EP 832 - New Years Resolution Week
    “This year, I am going to earn my CSP.” That is what I said several years ago at this time. And thankfully, I can say that after many hours of sweating it through, I received my Certified Speaking Professional designation in San Diego, California July 2007.
    For many of us, New Year’s Resolution Week is a time to reflect on the changes that we want and need, and in doing so we compile a list of resolutions. Unfortunately if our resolutions happen not to work out as we had hoped, we tend to put off trying again until the following year.
    So Here is today’s Hot Tip For Building Resiliency and Celebrating New Years Resolutions Week:
    Visualize It
    Many experts agree that the resolution itself is too often equated with the plan when it is only one part of the overall plan. One tip is to visualize the future.  Identify and visualize what feelings will come about by you achieving your goal. Replay this image regularly. The more details the better!
    Everyday is a new challenge to live the way you intend to, according to your passions and purpose. Remember, it takes less effort to stay the same than it does to change. Most goals require stepping outside of your comfort zone and that is why many people give up.

  • EP 831 - Interrupting Interruptions
    On the last working day of the year, the office is quiet and you are prepared to take advantage of it to get caught up on your work.  The phone rings.  You sigh. Another stressful interruption.
    According to Fast Company the average office worker is interrupted and taken off task every 11 minutes. Even worse, they say that it takes basically that much time to refocus on the task at hand.  Often, we end up compensating for interruptions by working faster and harder, which results in us experiencing more stress. We get frustrated, impatient, annoyed, angry, defeated.  The key to avoid interruptions at work is to find productive ways to minimize and deal with them and keep our emotions in check.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Dealing With No Interruptions Day:
    Plan for interruptions.  Know the type of interruptions that you usually encounter and when they are most likely to occur. 
    Limit the opportunities for people to distract you.  If you need time to concentrate on a particular task, block it off in your schedule and let colleagues know that you are not available until a certain time.  Turn off your phone and your email notifiers.  Shut the door.  Book a meeting room just for yourself.
    Watch for your own personal interrupters.  A messy desk, hunger, thirst and curiosity all get in our own way of being as productive as we can.  Organize yourself prior to starting your focused time, not during it.

  • EP 830 – Look On The Brighter Side
    Every one of us has heard the phrase “Look on the bright side!”
    Look on the bright side is used to refer to focusing on the good part of something that is mostly bad.
    As we head into a new year, let’s focus on these Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Look On The Brighter Side Day:
    #1 It's difficult to look on the bright side when you're surrounded by negativity so be careful who you spend your time with.
    Remove “can’t” from your vocabulary. A defeatist attitude will get you about as far as a car without an engine.
    Be grateful. There are times when looking at the bright side of things can seem out of the realm of possibility. However, it’s important to take a step back and concentrate on what you do have, rather than what you don’t have.
    Finally, It’s OK to make mistakes. Your past mistakes are meant to guide you, not define you. Remember, no one is perfect. Rather than looking at the negative aspects of a mistake that you’ve made, look at the bright side of that mistake and use it as a lesson moving forward.
    So today, I challenge you to look on the bright side of a negative situation and use it to your advantage.

  • EP 829 463 - Are You A Chocoholic?
    I am a chocoholic. I love milk chocolate. Creamy. Rich. Sweet. Delicious. It picks me up when I am down.
    Is this wrong? Not terribly. We all have comfort foods and mine is chocolate. I don’t eat it everyday. My addiction is quite mild most of the time. But there are days when I just have to give in. I have scavenged the cupboards looking for any type of chocolaty morsel. And when I do indulge, I try to do so with very little guilt, (which isn’t always possible).
    It’s About Moderation
    Contrary to popular belief, chocolate isn’t its own food group, but treats are not all bad. Moderation is the key. Eating healthy around the treats is also well advised.
    But I do like my chocolate and I am always glad that my Christmas stocking, is lovingly filled with….Chocolate. My boys use to wondered why Santa only brought mommy chocolate…I told them, it was because daddy wanted mommy to be happy so he wrote it in his letter to Santa to bring me a stocking full of chocolate. And Santa hasn’t let me down yet.
    So hats off to the Mayans and the Aztecs for creating the first chocolaty drink.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Chocolate Day:
    I don’t have any, other than to indulge responsibly

  • EP 828 - A Year In Review
    It is almost the last day of the year. This is the day that many news programs offer up a year in review. What happened that was newsworthy? Good, Bad and even the Ugly.
    This is a good time of year to do the same for our own personal life.
    What was great? What successes did you achieve? What challenges did you face? What didn’t go the way you would have liked. What lessons did you learn?
    All of these questions can help you to put life in perspective and help you to recognize the skills that you have developed that have aided you along the way.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating the New Year ahead:
    Reviewing Your Life Allows You to Know Where You Are. If you don’t want to live this upcoming year exactly the same as your last year, you need to take stock of all that has happened. It is only when you stop and reflect, that you are able to find out, if what you do, is getting you the results you want.
    Ask yourself the question, What Am I Working Towards? If you are serious about living your ideal lifestyle, you must take stock of where you are and where you would like to be.

  • EP 827 - It’s About Time
    Are you overworked, over-scheduled and just plain stressed out?
    There is a quote that says, “Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you don’t let other people spend it for you.”
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating It’s About Time Week:
    Schedule downtime. At least once during the day, you should allow yourself the luxury of having a period of time to decompress. The simplest and easiest strategy to use is deep breathing. It can be done by anyone, anywhere and in any circumstance.
    Create off-work zones. Determine what times during the day are off-limits for working, including no e-mail, or text messages. By defining these zones such as at meal-time, bed-time and days off, we are creating the space for rejuvenation and connection.
    Learn to say no. Say no to things that are outside of your priority. Say no to working late, especially if it is self-imposed. Say no to extra activities if you are feeling stretched to thin. Saying no now, does not mean that it will be a no forever.
    When you feel like it is a priority and you have the time to dedicate to the activity without compromising yourself, then it is okay to say yes.
