  • EP 573 – Mustang Sally
    It debuted at the World Fair on April 17, 1964. It was featured on the covers of Newsweek and Time magazines and appeared on the silver screen in the James Bond movie “Goldfinger” that same year.
    Here’s another hint: It was built for the working man and it sold almost 400,000 in the first year.
    What am I referring to: The Ford Mustang and today is the day that all Mustang owners and enthusiasts celebrate.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Ford Mustang Day:
    My husband and I own a 1965 Mustang. Sally is numbers matching, which means that she is in her original condition. She is part of our resiliency tool belt, as during the summer months, we take Sally out for drives in the country. Mostly to find a good ice cream cone or to enter her in a car show. Driving around is about savouring the summer.
    Whether you're into gardening, fixing up vintage cars, or even soduko puzzles, research has found that hobbies are just as important to good health as exercise is, thanks to their ability to relieve stress.
    This study found that people who engaged in leisure activities were 34% less stressed, reported feeling happier, and their heart rate was lower.
    It didn't seem to matter what the participants did just so long as it was something they deeply enjoyed.
    So on this day of celebrating the iconic Mustang, find something that you enjoy and be immersed in it. Your health will thank you for it.

  • EP 572 – Would You Wear Your PJs To Work
    No need to get dressed up for work today. You can ditch the shoes too. Today is wear your pjs to work day, along with a pair of fuzzy bunny slippers.
    For me, I regularly wear my pjs to work. 15 steps down from my bedroom and 15 steps into my office and I am at work. And since I am the boss, there is not a dress code. Unless, I am going out to speak somewhere, then, I shower up, beautify and dress in my best.
    Whether or not you want to wear your pjs to work, today is a day to ditch the stress. Focus on self-care and let loose.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Wear Your PJs To Work Day:
    Have fun with this day. Many celebrities, radio stations and tv shows are celebrating, so why not you? Have your own pajama party – even if it is on-line. You may want to ensure a few rules, such as ensuring appropriate body coverage. Give prizes for the loudest pajamas or the craziest designs.
    If the day has passed and you didn’t wear your pjs to work in, put them on as soon as you are done. For me, there is nothing as relaxing as a cozy, comfy pair of pjs. My kids know exactly what to get me for my birthday and I love all of them. In pajamas you can be yourself.
    Pjs are also great on Saturdays and Sundays that are lounge all-day days. How about Pjs, a movie and hot chocolate or ice cream or other wonderful treats.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 571 – Life Sucks and Then It Doesn’t
    Life as we know it has changed. And for many who are isolated from their school mates, friends, family and colleagues, or who have lost their job, or who have gotten sick, life may be pretty crappy right now.
    Life isn’t fair. Life sucks. Then it gets better. Then it can suck again.
    All we are required to do, is to take one day, or one moment at a time. To keep moving ourselves forward.
    Like is a journey of a million steps and hopefully we don’t stop too often and want to turn back.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency and Celebrating Life Sucks Day:
    It is OK to be sad, or mad, to cry, to be frustrated, to feel angry, jealous, anxious and scared.
    It is okay to feel.
    Set you intentions on those things that you can control and use that sense of control to show you that 100% of your life, right now, does not suck. Some of it may, but not 100%
    Focus in on the things that you can be grateful for. However small that may be.
    Finally, hold on to HOPE.
    HOPE for me stands for Hold On. Possibility Exists.
    Strategic Hope forces me to take action and that action is based on problem solving what I can control. And when I have a sense of control, I don’t feel so sucky.
    The circle of life.
    Hold on…it’s going to be okay.

  • EP 570 - Make A Friend Not Foe
    Have You Ever Had A Dog Bite You?
    I was only two.  In my mind, I vaguely remember being in our living room with my mom while she was crying and talking on the phone to the hospital.  I remember being in the emergency room.  And before all of this, I have a fleeting memory of being out at the barn and our dog.  Somehow, our dog thought that I was going to steal his food, though I had been out there numerous times.  On this particular occasion, he snapped at me and bit me, just missing my eye.
    Even the calmest, most loving dog can get snappy when sat on, stepped on or when they feel fear for themselves or their family.
    My experience could have left me scarred in many more ways than just the one that I carry on my face.  Today, I am a dog lover. I don’t fear them, but I do have a very healthy respect for them.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Protecting Yourself And Celebrating Dog Bite Prevention Week:
    The Canadian Safety Council estimates that in 70% of dog bite cases the victim knew the dog.  Parents need to teach their children how to interact safely with Fido.
    NEVER disturb a dog who is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies.
    NEVER pet a dog, even your own, without letting him see and sniff you first.
    Dogs that haven’t been properly socialized, receive little attention or handling, or are left tied up for long periods of time frequently turn into biters.  Be a responsible pet owner.
    Properly train and socialize your dog, and teach it submissive behaviors like giving up food without growling.
    Cynophobia is an irrational fear of dogs. If you find that your fear of dogs is excessive and you can’t easily avoid them, seek out the help of a professional counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist.

  • EP 569 - National Women’s Nutrition Week
    It’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon, you are irritated, your head is fuzzy and your eyes are having trouble focusing. You would love to find a corner and go to sleep, but there is no time. How about a coffee or a chocolate bar?
    Most of us instinctively reach for sweets or caffeine to give relief from the morning sluggishness or afternoon slump. We use sweets as a way of helping ourselves through stressful times. Those strategies might help, temporarily, but there is a downside to these methods. Poor eating strategies affect our brain chemistry and cause fatigue, apathy, apprehension, edginess and the blues.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Women’s Nutrition Month:
    Avoid The Sugar Blues.
    Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Smaller balance meals are preferable to large meals.
    Use exercise or stretching to increase energy and lift the ‘fog’.
    Include fish in your weekly diet as the essential fatty acids they contain increase energy and improve mood.
    Don’t confuse thirst with hunger. Drinking a cool glass of water can boost energy in the middle of the afternoon slump.
    Have healthy snacks readily available. Plan ahead and keep them in desk drawers, lockers or even in the glove box of your car
    We have all heard the saying ‘We are what we eat’, but most of us connect this with the body’s physical reactions. Our brain is just as dependent on the food that we consume.
    Healthy food choices help us avoid the erratic blood sugar levels and associated mood swings. Plan your snacks ahead of time and avoid the sugar blues.

  • EP 568 – Walk On Your Wild Side
    Do you walk on the wild side?
    Or have you given in to the every-day routines of life?
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Walk On Your Wild Side Day:
    Take the Walk On Your Wild Side Challenge.
    Use this day to plan something out of the ordinary, unusual or even extraordinary.
    Better yet, don’t plan something, just do it.
    It doesn’t have to be something dangerous, just a bit quirky or different from the everyday.
    What about spraying your hair your favourite colour?
    Or dressing up like a famous rock star or movie character?
    Or maybe it is to get up on stage and belt out your favourite tune at a karaoke bar? How about the 1972 song, Walk On The Wild Side, by Lou Reed?
    Let yourself be free and unencumbered.
    Share the moment with #wildside and encourage others to add more joy to their life too!
    PS My most recent wild side display was going to a big-hair 80’s band concert…dressed in authentic garb of the day.
