  • 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.

  • EP 612 – Workplace Wellness Is An Investment
    With so many companies investing in workplace wellness, it comes as a surprise that research shows that few companies assess the health needs of their employee population before deciding which wellness services to invest in. Even more surprising, is that only about a third of companies evaluate and measure how their programs impact the health and wellness of their employees or their bottom line.
    A productive employee wellness program assesses the health, wants, and needs of your employees and then addresses these issues, wants and needs in a meaningful and measurable way that the employer can track over time
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating the end of Mental Health Month:
    Simply offering a wellness program, no matter how well-intentioned, provides no guarantee of improving employees' well-being or having any value or return-on-investment. Workers must be aware the program exists and be persuaded to use it. Engaging company managers are key.
    Managers that engaged their workers were 28% more likely to participate in a wellness program offered by their company than were average employees.
    Wellness is a commitment. It is a commitment by the individual, their manager and by the company.
    It can take several years for the investment to be realized, but is well worth doing, because a healthy workplace is clearly a win/win situation for both employee and employer.

  • EP 611 – Get Active – Go For A Run!
    Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and being productive at work depends on us staying active.  Running is a great way to become active and fit.
    Some people use running as a form of meditation, a way to block out the work to-dos and the conflict and to focus solely on their breathing and the sound of their steps. They finish their run feeling mentally refreshed.
    As meditative as running can be, it can also be tedious.
    There are always going to be those mornings when you lace up your sneakers and find that your heart’s just not in it.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Running Fitness Week:
    Pick A Pack. See if you can create a running team. It is still possible to run and maintain social distancing. Make it a safe, social gathering as well as a fitness goal.
    Start off slow and gradually increase your tolerance and distance.
    Add variety to your running by sprinting stairs, or go off roading.
    And finally, if running is just not your thing, that’s okay. Find another fitness activity that gets your heart rate up and promotes strength and flexibility. The idea is just to stay active.

  • EP 610 – The People That You Meet Each Day
    Today is a celebration of community, encouraging people to connect with those who live in their neighbourhood.
    Even with physical distancing, social connection is critical to our ability to be resilient.
    Many of us are stressed out, managing and coping through this uncertainty. Our social network has become smaller and smaller. 
    Many of us seem to have drifted away from our previous sense of “community” and are now living very private, even lonely, lives.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Neighbours Day:
    70% say that having friends at work was the most crucial element to a happy working life.
    So find ways to get connected to your neighbours at home and your colleagues from work.
    Remember that developing and maintaining good social connections takes effort.  Connection and friendships take time to grow, to build trust and to share common experiences, but friendships can protect your health, so make plans to get together, even if it is on-line.
    If planning an event seems overwhelming, just start by saying a quick hello. A quick greeting can lead to a longer conversation, that may reveal commonalities, that can grow into a true connection.

  • EP 609 – Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day
    We are what we eat. And what we eat can impact our mood and our ability to cope.
    Deficiencies in vitamins C, and A, can have a negative impact on the body’s production of neurotransmitters, which directly affect our mood and energy…Not to mention digestive ailments, as well as increasing your risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day:
    The Heart Association recommends filling at least half your plate with fruits and veggies in order to make it to the recommended 4 ½ cups of each per day.
    Include more color. The best way to get all the various nutrients is to eat fruits and vegetables from the five main color groups. Can you name these groups?
    Red and Pink such as beets, Blue and Purple like blueberries, Yellow and Oranges like squash, Green like Brussel sprouts, and White and Brown like bananas and cauliflower.
    Finally, have healthy fruits and vegetables readily available. Plan ahead and keep them cut up in your fridge, in a container in your desk drawer, or even in the glove box of your car for when you are travelling.
    Remember, If you like the tips in this briefing, please leave me a review on amazon or in your #alexa app.

  • EP 608 – EMS Workers At Risk
    They are true heroes in our public healthcare system. They save lives daily in communities across Canada, US and around the world.
    At some point, many of us may need to rely on the skill and abilities of these EMS workers.
    However, our EMS workers are at risk.
    Funding cuts to healthcare have resulted in increased workloads. They deal with shift-work stress and burnout. And they are at great risk for PTSD.
    When extremely difficult and life-threatening situations are mixed with common everyday stressors, it can be hard to effectively cope.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Emergency Medical Services Week:
    While EMS workers are trained to care for others, when it comes to their own well-being, the training may be lacking.
    If you are an EMS worker, loss of sleep, and not eating on a regular schedule can push you over the edge. Be very focused on ensuring that these basic needs are taken care of.
    Find ways to vent and talk through highly emotional calls. It is tough to manage when you can’t share these situations with your family and friends who are our usual natural supporters, so it is important to make use of colleagues and other workplace resources to manage this stress.
    And finally, to combat burnout, focus on an attitude of gratitude, and increasing your awareness of the positive aspects of your life.
