  • EP 687 – Holding Hands Reduces Stress
    When it comes to holding hands it’s not all about romance. 
     
    When you hold the hands of another you are sending the message that the other person is valued, important and noticed.
    James Coan of the University of Virginia found that when people hold hands, their brains don’t work as hard to cope with stress. 
     
    To hold someone’s hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort.
     
    A poll showed that more than half of people couldn’t remember the last time they held their grandparents hand and more than a quarter had never done so. However, almost a fifth of respondents, when asked whose hands they would most like to hold, said it would be the hand of a grandparent who has died.
     
    Loneliness and depression are rampant in today’s society.  Holding someone’s hand, especially of someone who is isolated, dealing with an illness or elderly can help them to be more resilient against the impact of stress, promote better health and combat their feelings of isolation.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Hand Holding Day:
     
    Reach out and touch the hand of someone you love or someone in need.  Not only do they reap the benefit but so do you.
    Don’t wait until it’s too late and end up regretting that you didn’t grab at the opportunity.
    Robert Fulgham (Everything I Learned, I Learned In Kindergarten) said:
    . . . Share everything. . .When you go out in the world, Watch out for traffic, hold hands, And stick together. . . .

  • EP 686 - Choose Happiness
    Happiness does not just happen. 
    It has to be worked at. 
    It is far easier to focus on the difficult, the stressful, the negative and the disappointing.
     
    It takes effort to really notice and be thankful for the big and small things that make us happy.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Happiness Happens Day:
     
    Happiness Happens Day aims to spread the joy of being happy and to persuade people to look on the brighter side of life. 
    So, raise your glass of pink lemonade to Happiness Happens Day. Why pink lemonade? Happy people naturally turn lemons into lemonade. Also pink is pretty.
     
    Plan something fun to look forward to after work.
    Get outside.  Sunlight can boost our mood as it impacts our neurotransmitters and hormones. 
    Use different scents to boost your mood. 
    Phone your mum. A US study found that hearing a mother’s voice is as good as a hug for stress release.
    Get away.  According to one study, vacations lead to increased happiness (93%),  less stress (86%), being recharged (89%),  more energy (81%) and improved health (78%).
    And finally, researchers found that people who count their blessings sleep better, have a higher self-worth and are more satisfied and happy with their life. 
    So, let happiness happen.  Be open to it.  Be  aware of what makes you happy and when you are happy.

  • EP 685 – Celebrating Professional Speaker’s Day
    I would never have imagined that one day that I, Beverly, would be a public speaker.
    I hated giving presentations.
    When I was younger I struggled with stress and public speaking.
    My voice would quiver.
    I would speak a mile a minute.
    My nervousness was obvious.
     
    Some people report that they would rather be naked in public than have to deliver a speech to their peers.
    I would have absolutely agreed with this statement.
    The stress was unbelievable and public speaking was best to be avoided whenever possible.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Professional Speaker’s Day:
    Public Speaking Advice: You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be able to deliver your message effectively.
     
    What I learned was that speaking effectively in public and professionally is rarely a natural talent, but it is one that can be learned. When you have a passion for your topic, and you immerse yourself in that topic to become an expert, the stress becomes secondary to the message that you want and need to deliver.
     
    Remember that your audience really does want you to be successful and they are all that truly matters.
     
    I am proud to be a professional speaker. In fact, I am a Certified Professional Speaker and a Certified Virtual Speaker.  If only my high school English Teacher could see me now.

  • EP 684 – Bad Breath
    We know as parents that it is up to us to teach our children how to take care of their oral health and we wouldn’t think twice to tell our child that they need to go and use some mouthwash if their breath smelled.  But how do you handle it when it’s your friend, co-worker or boss? In a study by the Emily Post Institute, 75% of respondents polled said they’d want to be notified by a friend if they smelled.
     
    Working with a colleague whose breath smells can be stressful, that’s why when doing a search on “bad breath and coworker” you can find over 1.8 million sites.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Fresh Breath Day:
    Most workplace experts recommend that the upfront method works the best…tell the person that their breath smell today and offer them a piece of gum.  You have given them a way out, by indicating that ‘today’ may mean that this is unusual or temporary and the gum lets them save face while they talk to you.
    If bad breath is something that you deal with on occasion, minimize foods that can increase sulphur production and stimulate bacteria like alcohol, coffee, dairy and sugars
    Stimulate saliva production which is nature’s breath freshener using sugar-free mints
    Drink lots of water
    Scrape the back of your tongue
    If it is chronic, you need to talk to your dentist about solutions that may be right for you.

  • EP 683 - Breastfeeding and Stress
    I thought getting pregnant was stressful. 
    Feeding my baby was even more stressful. 
     
    It was very clear after 2 weeks that my little boy was starving and as a new mom, I was horrified. Deemed a ‘failure to thrive’ baby.  He was so hungry that he could barely keep awake.  I wasn’t producing enough milk to nourish my own child.
     
    At this point I thought I was a failure.  My dad, who was a dairy farmer, said later that if I had been one of his milking cows, I would have been turned to steak. Humourous now…certainly not then.
     
    I now look at this tall, athletic, muscular man and it is hard to believe the rough start we had together.  He is healthy and that is the ultimate goal.
     
    Breastfeeding is a healthy choice
    But the pressure to nurse your child should never be so great that it makes a mother feel like a failure if they can’t make it happen.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Breastfeeding Awareness Week:
    Nursing a baby is natural.  Help moms to feel comfortable when it comes to feeding their child.
    Don’t assume that a parent who is bottle-feeding is doing so by choice.  Be supportive of all of the options that are available to parents.
    If you are expecting a baby or if you have a newborn, rely on the people around you for support.
    And finally, Supermom status is a lousy goal and impossible to reach.  If we could all learn this early on it really would save us a tonne of stress.
