  • EP 737 – Be A Good Neighbour
    Good neighbours help each other.
    You can't pick your neighbors but if you are lucky, you have good neighbours.
    I live in the country and I don’t really have close neighbours, but I do wave to them, as we drive by. And when my boys were little, it was the neighbourhood teenagers that I counted on for babysitting.
    Neighbours who look out for one another are the key to a strong community. It was this connectedness that acted as a buffer to those who left everything that they a couple of hundred years ago, and started the settlements here in North America. Times were tough, but the sense of belonging, support, and care helped them to flourish.
    Sadly, this sense of connectedness to our neighbours is lacking in many communities. Neighbours don’t often know each other. And many people feel isolated and disengaged.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Good Neighbour Day.
    Everyone will have their own definition of what it means to be a good neighbour.
    For me, a good neighbour is friendly and considerate.
    They respect your space and privacy.
    Good neighbours take time to talk, smile, or give a wave hello.
    They keep an eye out, when they know you are away.
    The neighbourhood we live in can affect our happiness and stress levels in multiple ways. When you're thinking of strategies to manage your stress, consider investing in your relationships with your neighbours.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 736 – Stupid Can Be Fun
    If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetables. What is baby oil made from?
    Why is an electrical outlet called an outlet when you plug things into it?
    Why does it hurt like hell to hit your funny bone?
    Why is it called a “drive through” if you have to stop?
    And finally, If the professor on Giligan’s Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat?
    Today is Ask A Stupid Question Day and Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and having more fun!
    If laughter is the best medicine, reading the numerous lists of questions people have asked at the doctor’s office, the supermarket, or on the internet can certainly take the stress out of the everyday.
    Stupid questions can be funny conversation starters or interesting brain teasers when you are hanging out with friends.
    As for stupid conversation starters, try these ones out:
    Is a hotdog a sandwich?
    How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant?
    Or what would be the worst “buy one get one free” sale of all time?
    And finally you can annoy your friends even further with these tricky stupid questions:What is always coming, but never arrives?
    Or If a plane crashes on the border between the United States and Canada, where do they bury the survivors?

  • EP 735 - Self-Care During Challenging Times
    You may be like me and feeling that the challenges and changes that we are currently facing are taking their toll on your energy and your mental health. We have buckled down, and hunkered down.
    We will never feel at ease or in control if our task list is so long that it doesn’t allow for a little downtime.
    A lack of self-care causes more stress. Self-care during challenging times is critical. Without it, we can not be resilient. We need to give ourselves permission to do less and to focus on our needs.
    To take care of ourself is restorative. People who focus on self-care are happier and have more stamina to get more accomplished.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Self-Care Awareness Month:
    This pandemic is taking a toll on our work, our economy, our social lives, and also on our mental health.
    These are challenging times and now is the time to be kind to yourself. Now is the time to focus on what you can do, not what you can’t do.
    Look for ways to engage in self-care that works for you. If you hate yoga, don’t force yourself to workout in an on-line yoga class. You don’t need the extra pressure, guilt, and challenge.Self-care is about focusing on your priorities and including yourself in those priorities.
    When you find yourself reacting negatively, remember the acronym STOP.
    Stop
    Take a couple of Deep Breaths
    Observe what is happening
    Proceed by recognizing your fears, frustrations, guilt, sadness, hunger, tiredness etc and take an appropriate action by making amends, satisfying the need, diverting, re-energizing, refocusing, or relaxing.
    Test out a variety of calming techniques. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to relaxation, meditation, or mindfulness.
    Taking a mini-break will remind you that you’re worth it. Make a list of 10 self-care activities that resonate with you. Try to take at least one mini-break a day where you incorporate a self-care activity from your list.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 734 – Show That You Care Send A Love Note
    Who doesn't love receiving a special note of affection from someone they cherish? Well, my boys don't or at least that's what they told me.
    Apparently, my love notes added to their lunchbox when I was out of town was embarrassing. Opening your lunch bag and having one of these notes fall in front of your friends was horrific.
    How could their mother do this to them?
    It was so horrible though, that one day I found several of these notes tucked away in my son's room. When questioned, he admitted that he really did like them, but he would prefer to find them under his pillow instead. I can live with that.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Love Note Day.
    Express yourself. Let the person know how much you love them, miss them, are grateful for them, and appreciate them.
    Hide your love notes someplace special. Stick it to the water bottle, inside their fridge, or attach it to the backside of the remote control.
    My challenge for you today is to do one thing to show someone that you care.

  • EP 733 – Time to De-Junk
    Our stress can be negatively impacted by the way in which we organize our daily activities and routines, and by the organization or lack there of in our physical environment.  De-junking our physical space can increase our efficiency, our effectiveness and can add to a sense of control which can help us create a calm and peaceful presence.
    I love purging my files and this summer saw me get rid of more than one full cabinet of paper!
    Now is a very good time to do some fall cleaning. It is time to purge some stuff that is getting in the way of doing business efficiently, or that may be adding to the clutter, and stopping us from being as creative and productive as we can be. 
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Love Your Files Week.
    While most of us are fairly paperless, it is a good time to look through past paper files and purge. Do you need to keep a hard copy, from a project that is no longer active? Make sure you have an ecopy then off to the recycle box or shredder it goes.
    Look at the files on your computer. Have you cleaned out your downloads file? Refile those that you actually need and delete those that are no longer relevant.
    This is especially important for picture files. Most can be uploaded again if needed.
    Have you backed up your files?  A little extra time ensuring that your back ups are done, can save you heartache and wasted energy if something goes amiss.
    Today is as good a time as any.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.
