  • EP 812  - Thinking the Unmentionable
    Unmentionable thoughts.
    There is a Festival that celebrates these thoughts. Guess that is what today is. The Festival of Unmentionable Thoughts
    Beverly’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating the Festival of Unmentionable Thoughts:
    We aren't going to mention any subjects you could be thinking about today. Feel free to think about them yourself, but make sure not to mention them.
    We don't even want to know what you're thinking. It’s not that we don’t care. Somethings should just stay unmentionable.
    It’s surprising how little control we seem to have over the timing and content of “bad” thoughts. Researcher found that people have about 500 thoughts a day that are unintentional and “intrusive” and that last about 14 seconds on average. While most dealt with the concerns of everyday life, 18 percent were unacceptable, uncomfortable, or just plain bad—politically incorrect or mean thoughts. And a remaining 13 percent were ugly, out of character, or downright shocking.
    So whether they are morbid, perverse, prejudicial, know that we all have them, but what we do with them and the significance we attach to them are key.

  • EP 811 – Apps For Busting Stress
    What is your favourite app?
    Do you have one that saves you time or reminds you to do something that you couldn’t live without?
    Apps are so ingrained into the way we do things now and there are very few people who don’t use at least one app.
    Apps can be used for communication, and entertainment.
    Travel apps provide needed information and tools, helping with everything from transportation to finding the closest restaurant.
    Other apps help people organize their homes or perform essential functions at work. Some can help build your resiliency.
    Today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National App Day:
    According to Flurry, mobile users spent 86% of their time on mobile apps. App Annie says that the average user now has around 80 apps installed and uses around 40 every month.
    Look for apps that are easy to use and make sense in your daily life.
    There are many apps now for almost any kind of stress therapy, be it meditation, mindfulness breathing, cognitive behaviour therapy, relaxation techniques, colouring in, or online therapy chat services. Use these apps to build in a pause to your day or as an aid to get a better night sleep.
    Though keeping up with technology can be a source of stress, it can also be used to build our resiliency.

  • EP 810 – Festive Fizzle Out
    Do you know how many litres of eggnog are sold each December?
    Here in Canada it is 5.2 million litres.
     
    This will be a very different holiday for many of us. We know that our stress levels are elevated significantly by all of the challenges and changes that we have faced, and the holidays will just add to that overall stress.
    This isn’t the season to be stressed, but many of us will experience Festive Fizzle Out even before the celebration begins.
    Rather than skipping the eggnog or the holidays, the first step to a ‘stress less’ holiday is to determine your most important goal for the season.
    Bring back the meaning of the holidays by taking care of yourself and by simply showing people you appreciate them. 
     
    Here are today’s tips for Building Resiliency and Preventing Festive Fizzle Out
     
    Get back to basics and simplify. Don’t be afraid to alter tradition. Try simplifying things and build in more time for relaxation. 
    Avoid ‘holiday perfectionism’. Thinking, saying, or planning for the best holiday ever can lead to certain disappointment.
    Stop and be in the moment. Have you noticed the wondrous sights, sounds, and smells around you or have you been too caught up in the to-do’s or the extra amount of work you have to do to notice?
    Acknowledge your feelings. Take into account the changes, challenges, and losses that you have experienced. Remember to keep your perspective and to talk positively to yourself about past challenges that you have overcome.
    Practice Self-Care. Remember your ultimate goal for the holiday and get support and assistance from those around you to meet those needs. Make sure to take care of yourself by resting well, and eating a balanced diet. Focus on gratitude. Research shows that the more that you do, the happier you will be.
     
    Finally, I love this quote: “Gifts are all around us, but it is up to us to recognize them in our lives.”

  • EP 809 - Connection Through A Card
    I love Christmas Cards, however the sending of Christmas cards may be becoming extinct. In a world where we are already too busy, the thought of buying, writing, addressing, stamping, sealing and sending cards seems like an overwhelming task.
    Just before my oldest son was born, I started a tradition of writing a Christmas newsletter and sending it with my Christmas cards. There have been times when I have thought that I wouldn’t send it out but then someone gives me a comment about looking forward to reading my annual update and seeing the pictures of how the family has changed.
    Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Christmas Card Day:
    Christmas cards and letters take time, but I have found the benefits to outweigh the cost. It let’s the receiver know that they are being thought about, which in this day of disconnectedness and isolation is especially important.
    Another unexpected benefit of writing these annual newsletters is that I have logged many important family events. I have kept copies for myself and for my sons. They have a record of the special moments from their past.

  • EP 808 - Stress Free Holiday Preparation Week
    Are The Holidays A Stressful Time In Your Household?
    Are you ready for the holidays? This is the questions that you hear daily at the grocery store, the post office and in line at the bank? Some people ask because they want to feel like they are not the only ones struggling to get things done before the big day. Others ask because they are concerned about us as we may look a little haggard. Others may just want to gloat about they had in all done in July
    Here are my hot tips for building your resiliency and avoiding that stressed-out feeling this holiday season while we Celebrate Stress Free Holiday Preparation Week:
    Like many we tend to let our expectations, poor planning, and over-indulgence get in the way of truly enjoying and de-stressing during our ‘down-time’. The key to success in avoiding the ‘festive fizzle’ is to recognize those activities that energize, motivate, and please us, and to delete or change those activities that irritate, disappoint, and anger us.
    Get back to basics and simplify to meet these priorities.
    Stop often and be in the moment. Far too often the holidays come and go and we missed experiencing the joy, connection, and spirit of the season.

  • EP 807 - Spread the word, not the germs!
    What do you call a germ who wants to have a good time?
    A fungi (fun guy)!
    I know that it is not pleasant, but think of yourself as a human petri-dish that grows all kind of icky bacteria and is the warm and cozy home for all kinds of viruses. 
    Washing your hands regularly can prevent many flus, flu-like illnesses, common colds, conjunctivitis, , tonsillitis, bronchitis, , pneumonia, Streptococcus, Pneumoccous, TB and more from growing, spreading or from entering your body.
    Tips For Building Your Resiliency and Celebrating Handwashing Awareness Week:
    Henry the Hand says:
    Wash your hands when they are dirty and BEFORE eating
    Use “Good” hand washing techniques including an adequate amount of soap, rubbing the hands together to create friction and lift the germs from the skin.
    DO NOT cough into your hands
    DO NOT sneeze into your hands
    Above all, DO NOT put your fingers into your eyes, nose or mouth.  These are the only portal of entry into the human body for respiratory infections and washing can reduce your risk significantly
