  • EP 618– Resiliency and Resolution Recommitment
    It has been six months since the hats, horns, bells and whistles that rang in the New Year. With all that has been going on, the commitments and promises of making changes that were destined to make us healthier, happier or more connected to the people around us, may have moved to the background of our lives.
    I like the quote that says, “Who you are in each moment creates your future.” This gives you the opportunity to restart and refocus each month, each day, or even each hour.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating New Year’s Resolution Recommitment Day:
    Examine your life. What are your priorities and over-riding values?
    Know why you want the things you want. Too many people resolve to do things because they think that they should rather than because they feel that it is the right thing for them.
    Know what the benefits are of making this change or correction. What will the ‘new’ picture of your life look like and feel like?
    Share your picture with others – post it, talk about it, find others who have a similar picture.
    Re-commit, don’t quit. If you have lapsed for a day or two or fallen off the path completely, so what. Re-picture and jump in again.

  • EP 617 – What You Think Grows On You
    What you think upon grows. Philosophers through the ages have said that 'thoughts are things' and 'as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.' We are the master weavers of our circumstances and our thoughts can set us up a life of ignorance and pain or enlightenment and happiness.
    But it is not just as simple as thinking positively to attract what you want.  It is also about tapping into the emotions of life and monitoring them to see how satisfied you are with what is happening in your life.  Simply dreaming about happiness isn't going to necessarily bring more happiness.  Thinking and focusing on all the ways we can be happier and taking steps to bring in and allow more good stuff to happen, may bring in more opportunities for happiness.
    Certainly the opposite is also true.  Focusing on pain, will reinforce the strength of that pain.  You will notice more the impact of that pain. Your attitude and motivation may sink as you feel helpless to get rid of the pain and then you will let that pain engulf everything about the world that you are in.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating What You Think Grows On You Day:
    Our reality today is based on our thoughts from yesterday.
    Today’s belief creates tomorrow’s reality. Become your ideal person, as if you have what you are desiring.  How would a happy employee act? How would a loving partner respond? What way would a caring parent see their children?
    What would be on your bucket list for work, your relationships, your health, your personal life?  Describe them in detail.  Our mind will look for ways to make these a reality for us.

  • EP 616 – Backyard Playtime
    The weather is warming up. We are getting outside more. And it is time to play.
    It’s National Backyard Games Day. What is your favourite game to play outside with your family or friends?
    As kids we would run through the sprinklers in a game of dare to see who could stand the cold well water the longest. Maybe you were more the baseball or soccer ball group.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Backyard Games Day:
    From tag, to horseshoes, to backyard challenges, it is time to have some fun.
    It is time to get out of the house, to let go of the uncertainty, and to remember that we need to balance all aspects of our life. Balance means satisfaction. For many of us the fun factor has dipped to an all time low, so look for ways to play again.
    Put the kids in charge of setting up the games. Or allow everyone to pick or create one fun activity and enjoy the laughter and memories that they can create.
    Even if you are alone and not able to socially connect with others, grab your camera, head outside, and take some pictures from the oddest angles. Guaranteed to give you a different perspective and boost your mood. Remember, like when you where a kid, you are only limited by your own imagination.

  • EP 615 – Vacation Stress
    You remember those times…You had one hour to get to the airport, and you find yourself still stressing out about what clothes to pack and where you’ve hidden the sunscreen.
    Though we may not be able to go on vacation right now, it may be the perfect time to plan what you would like to do for your next vacation.
    Time away from work is needed to restore our resiliency. Vacations were meant to be rejuvenating, but sometimes our expectations around having the perfect vacation lead to further stress.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Vanquishing Vacation Stress Month:
    Even researching and daydreaming about your next vacation can be good for your mental health, so look at pictures, and explore the possibilities for when the time is right.
    Remember that there is no such thing as the perfect vacation, so stay flexible in your thinking.
    When you get a chance to actually go on vacation, choose your activities wisely. Choose activities that meet with your particular goals. Is your vacation for relaxation, celebration or relationship renewal?
    Plan to ease into and out of vacation mode. There is nothing worse than returning from a vacation saying you need a vacation from your vacation.
    Finally, take the time to breathe deeply, laugh and nurture your soul now. You don’t have to wait for your vacation to spend time on protecting your mental health.

  • EP 614 – Sexual Harassment Is Still Out There
    It is out there. We all know that it’s out there. Yet, many of us still ignore it, pretend that we don’t hear it or worse yet, we laugh and join in on it. Sometimes out of embarrassment. Sometimes out of fear.
    Recent results show that more than a quarter of working Canadians have experienced sexual harassment or been affected by it. This can result in a variety of stress-related illnesses, relationship difficulties as well as upset productivity and engagement.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Stopping Sexual Harassment In The Workplace:
    Know that when faced with unwanted and unsolicited sexual harassment, victims feel confused, frustrated and angry. They may not know how to react to the situation and may become very anxious or depressed.
    Some employees will suffer the humiliation and harassment silently and when they can no longer take it, they will quietly quit.
    Not addressing sexual harassment in the workplace is bad business and can create a toxic environment.
    Education around sexual harassment and developing strong policies and procedures to deter it are the most effective means of minimizing its occurrence and impact.
    Companies can protect their employees, and create a positive workplace culture, by implementing a comprehensive policy and providing training to employees and leaders on that policy.

  • EP 613 – Slow Down To Find Focus
    Our minds can not operate on ‘full throttle’ all day long. Focused meditation helps to clear the mind of racing, cluttered thoughts by focusing energies on a particular image or thought. Gradually distracting thoughts will decrease during meditation. This strategy helps to restore mental balance by providing a break in our hectic day. By allowing our mind to slow down, it is better able to focus when we return to our tasks at hand.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Meditation Month:
    One of the key areas that we neglect is time for self. Yet if we do not take care of our physical and mental needs, we will not be in a position to achieve our goals.
    We need to maintain a healthy rhythm to our life and we can do that by finding ways to ensure our physical needs for food, sleep, water, and exercise our met. Then we need to find ways to alternate the stress and challenges in our life with some relaxation or down-time.
    There is no way we can not get rid of all of our stress, nor do we want to. What we want to do is to reduce our negative reactions to stress so that we don’t become sick, worn down, and worn out. Start by adding one relaxation technique to your daily checklist of things to do.
