  • EP  588 - Reduce Your Stress By Correcting Your Posture
    Gone are the days that some well-meaning teacher would take their knuckle and drive it into the middle of your back and tell you to sit up straight.
    The Chiropractic Association has found that even young children are suffering from back pain much earlier than previous generations. Though a major cause of back and neck pain is kids and their backpacks, it is also our overall poor posture.
    Hours of computer slouching, hunching over while texting and laying around as a couch potato have serious repercussions on our posture. 
    The good news: there are easy things people can do to Reduce Your Stress By Correcting Your Posture.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Correct Posture Month:
    Practice the wall stand.
    Back up to a wall so your heels, buttocks, shoulders and head all lightly touch the wall while you keep everything level, relaxed and aligned– and take 3 slow breaths, feeling your body’s best posture.
    Shoes matter.
    For women, there is no such thing as a good high heel for your posture. Trade in the stilettos for a shoe that gives you the proper support.
    It is critical to understand that the body impacts the mind. Standing up straight and walking tall will help you to think and feel better. Reduce Your Stress By Correcting Your Posture and remaining calm, more relaxed, and more physically and mentally healthy.

  • EP 587 – Don’t Get Caught With Your Pants Down
    Have you seen the videos?
    Someone doing a zoom meeting and they get caught wearing no pants, just their jockies.
    Today is the unofficial holiday – No Pants Day.
    And prior to this business disruption, it wouldn’t cross my mind that wearing no pants would be widely celebrated…but here we are and the joke and often asked question is…who isn’t wearing pants on this call?
    We have the zoom mullet. All business up top and no pants on the bottom.
    So just in case this may not be for you, Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating No Pants Day:
    Though the idea of today is about wearing no pants in public and to pretend like it is nothing out of the normal, I’m not sure I am a fan
     
    I do love my PJs and I often wear them all day long…and even more so in these days of zoom calls and working from home. The idea is comfort rules. I am spending way less time on getting ready for work and more time on being creative and getting things done.
     
    Remember:  Use your best judgment in celebrating today, you don’t want to be remembered as that person who got caught wearing no pants.

  • EP 586– To Tell The Truth
    Today we encourage honesty and straightforward communication in politics, relationships, consumer relations and education.
    Most of us have told a few lies. Lying can bail us out of awkward situations. Spare the feelings of others. Preserve or strengthen alliances. Enhance social standing. Keep us out of trouble. Even save our lives.
    In today’s world of so many false truths, it is even more essential to build relationships based on honest and clear communication.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Honesty Day:
    Practice telling the truth. Studies have shown that human children begin practicing deception as early as six months of age through such attention-getting gambits as fake crying or laughter. Try answering questions honestly all day today and see where the difficulties lie for you.
    Be more transparent. Honesty goes a long way in building solid relationships. Leaders get ahead by making the right choices and showing that they are trustworthy. This builds trust, which is essential for teamwork.

  • EP 585 - Screen Free: Will You Accept The Challenge?
    Could you unplug your TV for 7 days? How about that PS4?
    What role does screen time play in your daily life?  Entertainer, pacifier, babysitter, time filler and/or a distraction?
    Many parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend with screens. And with good reason! Research shows that screen time gets in the way of activities known to be good for young children, however kids who spend less time with screens fall asleep faster, sleep longer, eat healthier, and get more exercise.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency During Screen Free Week:
    Turn your living room into a place for family interaction and play by arranging the furniture so the TV is not the focus of the room.
    Take a break from your smartphone and other screens during periods of the day and model good screen time behaviour.
    TV and screen time is not all bad.  It becomes a negative when we let it take over our lives.
    We grow accustom to the silence of watching TV and it allows us to avoid communication with those around us. It separates us from those we love, even when we are in the same room. It can taint our perspective and the way we see the world as it is full of negative images.  During Screen Free Week, challenge yourself.  Move outside of your comfort zone and focus on being creative, an active participant and connected to those around you.

  • EP 584 – Tick Tock
    Tick tock. Tick tock. Can you hear your biological clock ticking away?  I am pretty sure that I can, though, I am certainly not looking at having anymore children!
    So What Does Your Biological Clock Tell You?
    Our biological clock does so much more than tell us the perfect time to get pregnant. In fact, both men and women and the young and old are subject to the influence of the biological clocks that we all have.
    Circadian rhythms are controlled by “clock genes” that carry the genetic instructions to produce proteins. These instructions control everything from when we sleep and rest, body temperature, heart activity, hormone secretion, blood pressure, oxygen consumption, and metabolism. They may even influence our mood, particularly in the form of wintertime depression known as seasonal affective disorder.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Biological Clock Day:
    Celebrate – whatever age you are, or whatever life stage you are in.
    Sleep is essential to our mental and physical health.  Clock genes normally keep us awake during the day and asleep at night.  But when a clock gene mutates, it can disrupt the normal sleep cycle. Sunlight, air travel and even the seasons can disrupt our Circadian Rhythms and the quality and quantity of sleep that we get.
    So avoid night light. When possible, avoid bright and outdoor light close to bedtime and keep your surroundings as dark as possible at night. Cover the lights of your alarm clock, so that you are not tempted to look at it or have its glow disrupt your sleep.
    Avoid eating or exercising too close to bedtime. Also watch out for caffeine and nicotine, both of which are stimulants.

  • EP 583– Stress Decreases Your Chances Of Conceiving
    In our early adult years we spent so much effort on prevention, who knew that conception could be so difficult, or that Stress Decreases Your Chances Of Conceiving.
    For more than a couple of years my husband and I tried to conceive a child.  At that time we never heard that Stress Decreases Your Chances Of Conceiving. We endured months and months of taking temperatures, doctor visits, disappointments, crying, trying new medications, testing of all kinds and grieving.  It was a horrible roller-coaster ride.  We were not alone in our struggles. Infertility rates in Canada are increasing with roughly 1 in 6 couples experiencing fertility issues.
    While we were going through this struggle, we told very few people, especially our families. 
    Stress grew as the months passed.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency Increasing Your Chances of Conceiving and Celebrating Infertility Awareness Week:
    Find Ways To Relax. I know that you may hate hearing this, but it is one thing that you can do.
    Be Nutrition Wise. Our nutrition impacts the way in which our bodies function, both efficiently and effectively.
    Aim For Emotional Balance. Watch out for negative emotions such as anger, guilt, or resentment, which many women may feel at some point in their journeys to conceive.
    Laugh More. Laughter can take the edge off of a stressful day.
    Take Advantage of Support and Counselling.
    Keep the Romance Alive While Trying to Conceive.
    If you know someone who is experiencing fertility issues, let them know that you understand how difficult this is for them and that you are there to listen to their frustrations, their fears, and their disappointments.
