  • EP  682 - Simplify Your Life
    Life can get very complicated and stressful what with all of the ‘hats’ we wear.
    We sometimes let others control our activities and determine our priorities. 
    So how do we simplify it so that our life is more manageable and enjoyable and we are more resilient?
     
    Realization and acceptance can be the first steps to gaining control.  Accept that it’s impossible to do it all and it’s all right if you don’t, in fact, it’s much better if you don’t.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Simplify Your Life Week:
    Avoid blaming others and situations – WE have the ultimate decision on how OUR time will be spent.
    Develop and set your priorities and say ‘No’ to those things which are not your priority.
    Planning and time management are essential skills.
    Prepare for the transition from work to home by planning your work-related activities for the next day before you leave the office. 
    Do not over-program yourself or your family.
    Make the morning routine as simple as possible, leaving yourself more than enough time for ‘emergencies’.
    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.  Simplifying routines and de-junking 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.
     
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP  681 - Canadian Heritage Day
    On one particular visit home, I learned that my grandma didn’t learn English until she went to public school. Up till then, she spoke German. I had no idea that my maternal grandma came from a German background. I had just assumed that she was English, like my grandpa.
     
    Understanding our heritage is important.
     
    I grew up in a farming family. This meant that the ‘farm’ came first and that everyone in that family was responsible to make the farm successful.  Families helped each other, as more often than not, we were related to our neighbours in some way, and that conflict was put aside to get things done.  Happy or not.
     
    I see a lot of conflict that happens on family farms when someone new comes into the farm family that doesn’t share those same values to the extent that the rest of the family does. 
     
    These values are neither right or wrong, but unless the differences and expectations are talked about, openly and respectfully, the conflict festers and grows.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Heritage Day:
     
    Whether you like it or not, heritage is what makes you who you are. Things like values, culture, food, and traditions are all past down. Your heritage is the foundation on which you stand.  It is the very thing that has gotten you to where you are now.
    Honor your past by the way you carry yourself in the present.
    Share your heritage with your children to create a solid foundation for them.

  • EP  680– Friendships Can Protect Our Health
    Witmer and Sweeney found in their study that people with few ties to others had 2 to 5 times the death rate as those who had more ties.
     
    Support and connectedness can be a powerful tool in preventing illness by acting as a buffer to the effects of stress. The benefit of friendship is having the emotional support of a community during difficult times.
     
    Workplaces are also recognizing the value of support in their organizations. Effective leaders are evaluating their teams and ensuring that they reduce isolation, celebrate occasions and successes, develop trust through effective communication, deal with conflict and gossip in a direct and open way, promote a casual and friendly atmosphere, and develop a support network through human resources, an EAP or connection to community contacts.
     
    Unfortunately, many people in the workplace do not make the effort to utilize this great coping strategy and the busier we have become the easier it is to let our existing friendships go by the way-side. So where do we start?
     
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating International Friendship Week:
     
    At work and in your community, smile and say hello to those around you
    Connect with your co-workers informally
    Call, write or email those friends that you have lost touch with and book a date to get together
     
    Connectedness and friendships have exceptional powers in decreasing our stress, if we venture to put ourselves ‘out there’.

  • EP 679 - Great Friends Support Us
    Our closest friends support us. They cheer for us. They cry with us. They laugh with us (and at us). They are there for us.
     
    I have a couple of ‘bestest’ friends. I don’t see them very often as we have moved far apart. But I know that I can count on them.
     
    Research shows that our social connection to our friends gives us a sense of belonging, a feeling of security and increase our sense of self-worth. They help us to deal better with the stressors in life and live happier more successful lives.
     
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Girlfriend’s Day:
     
    Listen to your intuition – true friends give off a positive energy that make us feel good as opposed to drain us – Evaluate your friendships.
     
    Make the time – though life can get away from us we should never let our friendships get away from us – friendships take energy and time to nurture and to keep fresh.
     
    Learn to let go – our friends are no more perfect than we are. We need to ignore those imperfections and learn to celebrate their positive traits that brought us together as friends.
     
    Today is a great day to share a special memory of those that you hold in your heart.

  • EP 678 – Family Reunions
    I am missing my family reunion today. Living so far away means that it is tough to make it to this family function. I have some wonderful memories of family reunions. The games that we would play. The prizes that were given out. The laughs that we would have, and the food. The awesome, glorious, delicious potluck that would follow.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Family Reunion Month:
    Family reunions can be a cherished tradition. But being around your family or going back to the town in which you grew up can stir up implicit memories that can automatically trigger feelings we felt in our past. No matter how mature we feel, memories of our 10 or 15-year-old selves can cause us to act like we did when we were 10 or 15.
    If we fail to recognize how we are affected by old emotions and negative early experiences, we run the risk of projecting our past onto our present interactions and relationships.
    So all of this is to say that family reunions can be fun and a point of real connection, but be aware that there is the potential for past memories and experiences to interfere with this enjoyment. Being aware of your triggers and emotions is the first step in being present and just enjoying the moment for what it really is…a chance to create a new memory.
