    Today is the day to consider if you are on the road of over-consumption.

    Make a commitment to examine your purchasing habits
    Evaluate whether they are needs or wants
    Do your purchases end up having a negative impact on your budget or the environment?

  • EP 796 - Watching Our Language
    Sadly, one in 10 Canadians suffers from some type of substance use disorder. That could mean your colleague, your neighbour or someone in your own family. Addiction does not discriminate—it affects all walks of life. ​
    The total societal cost of substance abuse is in the billions. Whether the cost comes from lost productivity in the workplace, increased cost to our healthcare system or pressure on our law enforcement agencies, substance use disorders cost money.
    People are dying. Substance use disorders can be progressive and fatal if left untreated.
    So Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating National Addiction Awareness Week:
    Choose to recognize that substance use disorders are health disorders. They are not the result of any kind of character flaw or lack of personal willpower. In fact, substance use disorders are the most common mental health disorder.
    Stigmatizing language can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and act as a barrier to seeking help and sustaining recovery. The truth is … WORDS MATTER.
    Watch the language that you use. Here are some ways to avoid using language that stigmatizes substance use and addiction:
    Use “people-first language.” For instance, refer to “person who uses substances”, rather than a  “drug user”, “addict” or “alcoholic”. This is more neutral language that helps to maintain the individuality of the person.
    Choose language that promotes the recovery process. This means not describing a person being “clean” or “dirty” but rather “not currently using substances” or “in recovery”.

  • EP 795 - Every Story Matters
    I belong to the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers. As one of our chapter presidents, it was obvious that we were not the association of professional listeners. It took forever to get everyone focused to begin our events, as the chatter was so extensive.
    Listening can be hard for us to do. It is an investment that sometimes we are not willing to make and because of this, we may miss out on hearing the other person’s story.
    Originally this week was initiated to encourage people to interview a loved one, friend, or member of your community and to share this story with others. The feeling was that every story matters, and they need to be shared
    Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating Better Conversations Week:
    Ask people about their journey and experiences and really listen in
    Interview a friend or family member. Record the interview and then share it with others.
    By really listening to these stories, you will be conveying that they matter. This may be the most meaningful time you spend with someone all year.
    If you like today’s resiliency tips, let me know.

  • EP 794 - Uniquely You
    We are all remarkable.
    However, many of us have talents that we don’t share, as we believe that we are unremarkable, plain, or ordinary.
    I love this quote by Henry Van Dyke:  the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
    So Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating Your Unique Talent Day:
    Embrace your uniqueness. You are truly a category of 1
    Share your talent. If it is a creative talent, share it so that others can appreciate it.
    If it is a quirky talent, make someone laugh. This can be the best gift that they received all day
    Host a talent break at work
     
    So sing out loud, dance in the street, paint a picture, wiggle your eyebrows, talk in a cartoon voice or whistle through your nose.

  • EP 793 – Is Your Life Under Control?
    My life is too complicated. I feel like I am always rushing to get somewhere. I feel like I don’t spend any quality time with my family. What suggestions do you have for getting my life under control? This is what one conference attendee asked me.
    Many of us feel our lives are too complicated. We rush from one destination to the next – rush through traffic to get to work – then rush back again to pick up the children – and back to rushing from one sporting lesson to the next.
    Rush! We get frustrated.
    In the end we forget how to talk to each other. We don’t remember what it is like to spend quality time together just being.
    Here Is My Hot Tip For Building Resilience and Celebrating National Family Week:
    Trends in our society have been to achieve more, get more, do more.
    A contrary movement is underway called Simplification. It can be hard to do, but the rewards can be great. Simplification means reorganizing your life and routines to focus on the meaningful, and to minimize the chaos.
    The more you can par down your life by simplifying your routines or de-junking your physical space, the less hectic it will be for you and your family.
