  • EP 717 – Children and Suicide
    Children do not attempt or die by suicide
    False. In fact, 3% of our children are suicidal at any given time and our rates are increasing among our youth. It is the second leading cause of death among our children ages 15-19 and studies show that 1 in 7 students have seriously considered suicide.
    Identifying those children at risk for suicide can be problematic in that communication skills may be limited, emotional development may lead to spur of the moment decision-making, and support networks limited.
    It is estimated that about 80% of people give some sort of clue that they are considering suicide. Behaviourally, children may give away their prize possessions, or they may lose interest in their hobbies, activities, school-work and friends.
    Verbally, children may communicate a sense of hopelessness around their situation, self-hate or self-esteem statements such as ‘everyone would be better off without me around’, or they may express more physical complaints.
    Though most people give some sort of clue, it is important to remember that it is not a family member’s ‘fault’ if that clue is not recognized or given significance at that time. There is not a parent out there who is superhuman, totally tuned in, and able to tell the future.
    Giving support, providing information and alternatives, and finding the appropriate helping strategy is not easy but resources are available.
    Children do die by suicide even in the most supported situations. However, as caregivers and parents we can look for the clues and not be afraid to address the issue of suicide.

  • EP 716 – Building Resilience As We Age
    Do you find yourself creaking, cracking, groaning, or moaning, more as you age?
    I recently took a look at a website that tried to determine your real age compared to your chronological age.
    I was pleased to see that it covered a variety of areas related to positive stress management and this sparked some interesting reflection regarding healthy aging.
    Studies show that regularly exercising our brains by problem-solving, organizing, and prioritizing helps our bodies age healthy.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Healthy Aging Month.
    Well besides the obvious of healthy eating and staying hydrated, along with regular exercise, make sure that you're getting an adequate amount of sleep.
    And finally, look for creative ways to stimulate your brain.
    If you'd like some more tips, follow me on twitter at SOS to stress.

  • EP 715 – Just Do It
    Can you find time?
    Stop looking. You will never find it. It isn’t lost.
    Sometimes we lose time because we are procrastinating. This could be because jobs or tasks are difficult or time consuming, but it is not procrastination if the job doesn’t rank in importance or urgency.
    So why else do we procrastinate?
    Perfectionism – have you ever wanted something to turn out ‘just right’, that you got overwhelmed by the details and couldn’t move forward?  There are 3 books waiting to be written, but the thought of them being less than spectacular keeps me from sitting down to write. 
    Fear of failure, success, or finishing – Like the examples above, sometimes procrastination is also fueled by the fears that we have. 
    Dislike task or person – I hate tackling my monthly finances.  It wouldn’t be so bad if I actually did them monthly.  However, I procrastinate, and I end up doing them every 3 months or so.  I get frustrated and annoyed which makes me want to put the task off even more.
    Too tired – I need my sleep. If I am worn out, all those little tasks are easy to draw out or avoid all together.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Do It Day:
    Find the answer to ‘What’s In It For Me”.  Why is this task/decision important?  What will I achieve once it is completed?
    Use positive self talk to keep you moving forward.
    Watch out for time gobblers.
    Reward yourself.  Make it fun.

  • EP 714 – Be Late
    Procrastinators Rejoice!
    Today it is okay to be late.
    I hate being late. But I am not quite as bad as my dad, who arrived early and often unexpectedly for almost everything. He even had a hard time with me being the last one to arrive for my wedding.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Late For Something Day:
    While it is okay to be late for somethings, it is not okay to be late for everything.
    It is not okay to be late for a meeting, especially if others are depending on your input. It is not okay to be late in paying your bills. And if grandma was making dinner, it was most definitely not okay to be the last one to the table.
    There is an incredible pressure to meet challenging deadlines, and to regulate our lives by tightly defined schedules and calendars. Wouldn’t it be nice to just stop for a little bit and see what happens?
    Be Late For Something Day encourages you to take a step back from your schedule and intentionally be late for something. You may find that people can still function without you, and maybe all of the stuff that you fuss about is not all quite as important as you thought.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 713 – Back To School Chaos
    Back to school and the kick-off of fall can be exciting and full of energy. It may also be dreadful for both children and parents. Not many parents cherish the thought of forgotten textbooks, missing permission slips, making lunches or lost backpacks. For many children, success is dependent on their ability to effectively manage the stress of the morning routine.  For both parents and children, having to deal with morning chaos can throw everyone off course.
    So what can you do to reduce your stress?
    Enlist everyone’s help in establishing a smooth morning and evening routine. Decide what needs to be done, who can do it and who is responsible for it.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Reducing Back To School Chaos:
    Post a calendar of all weekly or monthly events and activities. Predictability helps to relieve anxieties. By seeing what needs to be accomplished for the week ahead, everyone can plan to complete tasks accordingly.
    Do not over-schedule. If it starts to look crowded on the calendar, it is probably going to increase the difficulty in transitioning.
    Establish a ‘drop zone’. Have a set place for everything so that it is all easily and predictably found.
    And finally, keep a sense of humour. This is not the time to panic, get angry or impatient. It sets an awful flavour for the rest of the day.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.
