  • 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.

  • EP 826 Whiny Whiner
    We can be a nation of entitled whiners.  “It’s too cold.”  “I am the only one around here who does anything.”  “Blah, blah, blah” or should I say “whine, whine, whine.”
    Hunger, tiredness, boredom and feeling unwell are factors that can precipitate whining sessions at work, but some colleagues have learned from a very early age that whining gets them the attention that they are seeking.  Whining has become second nature and their predominant way of communicating.  Their behaviour is draining on relationships and it can poison a workplace.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Whiner’s Day:
    If you catch yourself whining:
    Try moving from an attitude of entitlement to one of gratitude.  It is hard to be whining when focused on the positive and being thankful.
    Focus on problem solving.  It is okay to vent, but that venting must be followed by problem solving otherwise it is whining for whining’s sake.
    If you are going to confront a whiner:
    Understand that they are looking for attention, but give them attention for solving the issue, not for whining about the issue.
    Finally, minimize the amount of time that you spend with the whiner.  They will zap your energy if you aren’t careful.

  • EP 823 – Managing Family Conflict Through The Holidays
    Holidays provide opportunity for celebration, and they often bring about family tension. By determining your goals for the holidays and by staying in control of your reactions, you can help to ward off excessive stress and have a stress-free family holiday– whatever that may look like this year.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Stress-Free Family Gatherings Week:
    The first and most important step to a less stressful family holiday is to determine who pushes your buttons. Then understand what the person gets from being so difficult. Some want to feel more in control over what is happening around them. Some want to feel important and listened to, and some want to avoid outright conflict, but will act out their annoyance or disagreement through other negative behaviours.
    By understanding what people expect to gain from using undesirable behaviours, we are in a much better position to deflect and defeat the difficult behaviour and move the person towards more acceptable ways of responding. Our job is to help these family members feel more in control, more listened to and more important.
    My second tip is to avoid ‘holiday perfectionism’. Thinking, saying, or planning for the best holiday ever can lead to certain disappointment. Be okay with disorganization, conflict, and family chaos. Going with the flow will help to reduce your stress.
    Finally, stop and be in the moment. When you start to feel the tension rising, take a moment to notice the wondrous sights, sounds, and smells around. Changing focus helps to reduce your stress level.
    Wishing you a meaningful, joyful, and Stress-Free Family Holiday.

  • EP 822 – Write Your Business Plan
    If you are a business owner, you may be looking at the end of the year as the time to review your Business Plan. I don’t enjoy doing this and I find it stressful to sit down and review where I have been and where I would like to grow my business. But I know that this is a necessary task as an entrepreneur.
    Writing my business plan greatly improves my chances for success.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Write A Business Plan Month:
    Keep it short. Your business plan should be a tool you use to run and grow your business. If it is too long, it becomes daunting, stressful, and relegated to the bottom of your to do list.
    The biggest part of the business plan and the most helpful part of my plan answers the questions of what am I actually selling, how am I solving a problem for my market, and why me and not my competition. Your customers are stressed about something and you are there to solve it.
    My customers are leaders who see that stress is negatively impacting the health, productivity and functioning within their team, and they need tools that they and their teams can use to manage their stress, promote positive mental health, and build overall resiliency.
    Whether you are a business owner or not, the end of the year is a great time to review where you have been and where you are going. Set your intentions for a bright year ahead and make decisions that take you along this path.
