  • EP 752 – Facing Your Phobias
    I have a social phobia.
    It produces extreme reactions in me.  I get tongue-tied. My voice shakes and my heart races whenever I have to perform in front of others.
    I hate snakes. They give me the willies.
    Many people have those things in their life that give them the heebie-jeebies. It may be snakes or it could be heights, needles, or even lightning.
    Here Are My Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Face Your Fears Day:
    Know that it's okay to avoid your phobia if you can and as long as it doesn't interfere with your everyday living and happiness.
    Thankfully I can stay away from snakes in my line of work and in my life. If you can't outright avoid them, learn how to challenge some of the unhelpful thoughts that the fear generates.
    Plan and practice your stress and relaxation strategies ahead of time, so that they're like second nature during your exposure.
    And finally, ask for help. Others can support you during those stressful times and they may be able to find strategies to lessen the stress that you feel.

  • EP 751 - How Bloody Annoying Are Your Pet Peeves
    Squeaky doors. Slow internet connections. No subject heading in an email message. Cracking knuckles. Toilet lid being left up. Being put on hold. Music while on hold. Repeated messages while on hold.
    Some of our pet peeves can move from simple annoyances into being rude or aggressive.
    Think of road rage. It usually starts because one person was not paying attention or assumed that they had the right to do what they did, and then the offended party gets annoyed, then angry, and they may even retaliate.
    Here Are Today's Hot Tips For Building Resiliency During Pet Peeves Week:
    Make a list of your pet peeves.
    There is something cathartic and humorous about doing this.
    Often awareness can help us to see the lighter side.
    Learn how to move on and not waste your mental energy or let your blood pressure skyrocket.
    And finally, understand that someone else's behavior that annoys you wasn't targeted specifically to you.
    Don't personalize it and read more into it than there is.

  • EP 749 - Know Risks And Benefits Of Sarcasm
    Well everyone lobs a snarky remark here and there.
    A sarcastic person expresses humor in verbal irony by making statements that defy their literal meaning.
    For some it's as natural as breathing.
    Some say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.
    Whether sarcasm is a sign of intelligence or not, communication experts typically advise us to stay away from this particular form of expression.
    And yet, there is some research that suggests that there may be some unexpected benefits from sarcasm, including greater creativity in the workplace.
    Today's Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Sarcasm Awareness Month:
    Research shows that sarcasm can be easily misinterpreted, so use it sparingly and take great care that it doesn't damage your relationships.
    It comes down to trust. Given the risks and benefits of sarcasm, your best bet is to keep salty remarks limited to conversations with those you know well.

  • EP 748 Let’s Talk Month
    Do you think the people have always been this stressed?
    I'm often asked if we have more or less stress than we did a hundred or two hundred years ago. Our lives are stressful today, but they were way back then as well.
    One of the things that helped people to cope was a sense of support. Back then we lived in smaller communities, had families around us, and we knew our neighbors.
    Today we live in large communities, our families may live hours or continents away, and we have no idea who lives around us.
    Our support circles have grown smaller and smaller.
    Let's talk month embraces sharing your stories and asking for help as ways of gaining and giving support.
    It is one of the three main strategies in positive stress management.
    So Here Are My Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Let's Talk Month:
    Learn to share your thoughts and feelings, your successes, and your challenges.
    Learn to listen to other’s thoughts and feelings, successes, and challenges.
    Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?
    Look for my book on Amazon called Stress Out! 52 Weeks To Letting More Life In.
