  • EP 672 – Gaming Can Be Healthy
    Do you remember playing your first video game?
    Mine was Pong and it was New Years Day at a friend’s house. How cool was it to see the game get faster and faster and try to keep up the hand eye co-ordination?
    Now the video game industry is worth $70 billion a year and there are over five million games in existence. Most of us have played at least one video game in our life.
    According to a NationalToday Survey, many of us like to play our games on our phones.
    The #1 reason we played was we were bored, followed by when we were watching TV, before we go to sleep and unthinkably for me…when we are on the toilet. Ick.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Video Game Day:
    Whether you celebrate Video Game Day this month or in September, it is not only easy, but it is also fun as well. All you have to do is to fire up your favorite video game system and have some fun with your friends or family. You can play games on a modern system or you can play one of your classics.
    Video games can be a great stress reliever. They help to pass away free time. They can give an adrenaline rush and you get a chance to use your imagination and problem-solving skills.
    Video games can be highly engrossing, but some people can become addicted to gaming.  The World Health Organization recently recognized "gaming disorder" as a mental health condition.
    Simply playing a lot of video games isn't enough to count as a disorder. Rather, the disorder occurs when gaming interferes with people's daily lives.
    So have fun gaming, but remember that this should only be one of many strategies that you use to build your resiliency and manage your stress.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 671 – Drive Thrus: Quick and Convenient Or Unhealthy?
    Did you know that going through the drive thru naked is illegal?
    In 2012, a naturist was found guilty of “partial nudity that offended public order” for incidents that occurred in 2008 and 2009 as he went through a drive thru.
    Today is National Drive Thru Day and while it is not recommended to go through the drive thru naked, we know that many of us will go through at least one drive thru today.
    Eating out is no longer a special event, but a practical alternative to eating at home when no one feels like shopping or cooking.  Decisions about ‘what’s for dinner?’ reflect a solution to an equation that involves three variables: 1) what’s on hand in the fridge, cupboard or freezer, 2) the time available to cook and eat and 3) the urgency of hunger.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Drive Thru Day:
    Drive thru foods are not all bad.  It is possible to make some wise choices, but it can be difficult if you don’t consider the options before you are about to order.
    Examine your life and do a rhythm check.  Are you pushing and rushing most of the time?  If so, consider altering your drive thru behaviour slightly to allow yourself the opportunity to slow down, take your time eating, socialize and enjoy the ‘whole’ meal experience.

  • EP 670 – Gorgeous Grandma
    I am blessed to have had a grandma who was a huge influence on my life.  She made me feel accepted, wanted, and truly loved.  I loved how she could dress it up for a night out and she could get down and dirty in the garden.  And she was gorgeous.
    My sons were blessed. They had 3 great grandmas and 3 grandmas that got to share in their early years.  I hope that they remember them as being gorgeous women and that beauty is not about what is on the outside but what is on the character of the soul.
    Our worth is not about the job that we have, the goals that we achieve, or the beauty of our youth.  Jobs change.  Goals change.  Looks change.
    Our beauty is in the connections that we make with others.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Gorgeous Grandma Day:
    Don’t Be Someone You’re Not. I see young girls who put on ‘airs’ and try to mould themselves into the popular image of beauty. If you have young girls and women in your life, help them to see that beauty is about so much more than that.
    Tell the gorgeous women in your life what you see when you look at them.  Don’t describe their physical beauty, but what you see that radiates from their heart or the positive impact that they have on those around them.
    Having had a gorgeous grandma, I can only hope that I can make as much of a difference in someone’s life like her.

  • EP 669 – Your Life Matters
    Our world is changing and sometimes that change is difficult to keep up with. Sometimes we see the need for the change, but we don’t know how to move forward. Sometimes we want the change and we look for ways to push it forward.
    I grew up in rural Ontario where my cousins and second cousins and so on were my neighbours and classmates. We looked like each other and we sounded like each other. I had 3 local TV stations, and we watched very little TV except for hockey, which I tuned out.
    I don’t remember giving skin colour a second thought. I went to University and I still don’t remember giving it a second thought.
    It wasn’t until I lived in Toronto that I remember hearing some of my first racial slurs.
    I know that 30 years later, I have said or thought things that were racial generalizations in reactions to activities, sayings, or even music.
    So here we are in the midst of turmoil and I am seeing arguments around Black Lives Matter versus All Lives Matter. I absolutely agree with both statements. Black Lives Matter. All Lives Matter. Your Life Matters.
    My life matters.
    However, I can not remember a time where my skin colour has not put me at a disadvantage, or made me look down upon as something less, or put me at risk or seen as dangerous.
    So what can we all do…Listen and show up.
    Listen to each other.
    Show up and be willing to acknowledge someone’s experiences, no matter how different they may be to yours.
    By listening and showing up, by opening up in this way, we can examine where we can push change forward. Where we can make the necessary impact. We all have a role to play in making that happen. It’s needed and long overdue as Every Life Matters.

  • EP 668 – Are You Failing At Self-Care
    Are you running on empty?
    Have you been neglecting your own needs because other’s needs take priority?
    Self-care is a necessity.
    Self-care is not self-indulgence. Self-care refers to activities and practices that we can engage in on a regular basis to reduce stress and build our resiliency.
    Balancing work, family and self-care has always been challenging. The pressure to do it all, to be successful, and to put others first, can cause a great deal of stress.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Self Care Month:
    Our list of things to do can get so long that we forget, even neglect, to take care of our minds and bodies. Be aware of your mental and emotional health, stress level, sleep habits, cholesterol level, blood pressure. It is important to honour and care for yourself.
    Start with setting healthy boundaries around how you spend your time and energy.
    Look for positive ways to recover, refocus, and re-energize.
    Focus on sleeping, eating healthy, moving, learning how to pause, simplifying your life and remembering to play.
