  • EP  543 – Forgiveness
    My parents weren’t perfect.
    As a new parent, I knew I was going to be a better parent than my own.  I was going to be kinder, hug more, talk more, connect more, love more.
    And my children would appreciate me, know that I was always fair, never ‘hate’ me, and never doubt my love for them.
    Reality can be painful.  The realization that there is no such thing as a perfect parent, that no one had perfect parents, that you are not going to be the perfect parent and that no matter what, your children are going to take you for granted, think that you are unfair, ‘hate’ you for the decisions that you’ve made and will probably doubt how much you love them at some point, is all part of our maturing process.
    Parenting is not easy.  We wing it, just like our parents did. 
    This realization can lead us to forgiveness.
    Sometimes there is a little to get past, sometimes there is a lot to forgive.  Sometimes the hurt and damage run very deep.  Hanging on to this ‘baggage’ is damaging.  It can damage your current and future relationships. 
    Forgiveness is not forgetting.  It is awareness and it is moving forward. 
    The past can never be re-written.  But sometimes forgiveness allows the future to be much brighter.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Forgive Mom and Dad Day:
    In my teens, I wanted to change my parents.  As I got older, I have grown to accept them for who they were and are today. 
    They were not perfect, but they have some really good qualities.  Now, I see them through the eyes of my children.  They love their grandparents, the way I loved mine. When I look back, I see that they don’t carry that same baggage when they see their grandparents as I do when I see them as my parents. They greet my parents with excitement and enthusiasm.  They laugh and joke around.   Now, so can I.
    Forgiveness is essential to living a healthy life.

  • EP 542 – Act Happy
    In spite of illness and in spite of difficult life circumstances, we all know someone who seems to not let those things take over the rest of their world. 
    It is not that they are blind to the impact that these things are having on their life, but they are choosing not to let these things be their entire life.  They choose to see happiness and miracles around them.  They appreciate the love and kindness they are offered.  They are eager to share that love and kindness with others.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Act Happy Day:
    The more that we focus on things to be happy about, the more evidence we find that there are things to be happy about.
    Belief creates reality. Become your ideal person.  How would a happy person act?
    Happiness is inside us. We have control over what side of the line we focus our attention on. It is not that bad stuff doesn’t happen, but along with the difficult times of life, there is always a positive or beautiful side of life just waiting to be discovered. 
    Live with an attitude of gratitude.  What are you thankful for? How can you show that gratitude to those around you?
    Today, look for the good, the amazing and the awesome.
    Today act happy – not to be untrue to yourself – but by being more perceptive of the good.

  • EP 541 – Skip the Selfies
    We are becoming more self-centered and Narcissistic. “Selfie” was Oxford dictionary’s Word of the Year in 2013. Since then, it’s become a serious preoccupation. The cultural phenomenon of the ‘selfie’ exposes a very basic human desire — to feel noticed, appreciated and recognized. Our addiction to selfies has turned deadly and selfie-related incidents now top shark attacks when it comes to unusual ways to die!
    One study in the U.K. revealed that women between the ages of 16 and 25 spent an average of five hours a week taking selfies.
    Research shows that selfies can make us feel lousy about ourselves to the point where we photoshop and filter our selfies in an effort to be picture perfect. How many pictures have you looked at and wonder why the person adjusted the picture so much that it no longer looks like the real thing?
    However, it is hard not to love the ego boost from sharing a selfie because of the positive comments we usually get.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating No Selfies Day:
    To celebrate today is easy – all you have to do is NOT participate in taking selfies!
    Be in the moment, rather than trying to capture and edit it.
    Finally, be careful that you are not falsely praising and reinforcing selfies that are over-processed.

  • EP 540 - Being Optimistic Takes Work
    What Is Optimism?
    Wikipedia states that Optimism is to anticipate the best possible outcome.  Optimists generally believe that people and events are inherently good, so that most situations work out in the end for the best.
    Optimism takes work.  Being pessimistic means you are stuck in identifying the problems over and over again.  Being optimistic means you have to move forward and do something about it.
    Optimistic people are better at problem-solving - they move quickly from problem-identification to problem-solving. 
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Optimism Month:
    Act like an optimist.
    Use the word choices and body posture of optimistic people. Use "upbeat" words instead of "upset" words - Challenged vs Overwhelmed.  Optimists take big steps, walk faster and stand taller. Pessimistic people shuffle their feet, take tiny steps, walk slowly and slouch.
    Move quickly from problem-identification to problem-solving. We all get angry and upset, but the challenge is to move past these emotions and start looking for strategies and solutions that will help you to deal with that challenge.
    Avoid emotional leeches. Minimize your contact with those who look on the down-side of everything, who criticize you or mock or sabotage your dreams and aspirations.
    Remember
    Optimists enjoy better health.
    They find more success.
    Optimistic people feel less stressed during stressful times.
    Optimists tend to have more supportive networks and resources.

  • EP 539 – Farmers Stay Safe
    Growing up on a dairy farm, I know first-hand how stressful this occupation can be. It is an all-encompassing lifestyle.
    Two-thirds of farmers say that they are stressed, with 20% saying that they are very stressed. Shortcuts or inattention can lead to disaster.
    Farmers are resilient.
    Stuff happens…to everyone…and you move on. Though there is a lot of complaining about what is going on around them, most couldn’t imagine living or making a living any other way. Those that can’t live this way, don’t last and move on.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Canadian Agricultural Safety Week:
    Think Safety First. During Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, the message is that awareness is the key to staying healthy and safe on the farm.
    Know your priorities.  Don’t let the business of farming become such a focus that you forget the connection to your family and friends, or the importance of your health.
    Finally, It is not a weakness to connect with others. In days gone by, it was a given that you had to rely on your community for survival. It is important that you have enough supports in your support circle in order to be resilient.

  • EP 538 – Be More Sleep Diligent
    Over half of drivers say that they have driven drowsy in the past year. Many of us are sleeping poorly which is causing us to be sleep deprived.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating World Sleep Day:
    Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Follow a regular schedule each night. This trains your body and brain and promotes relaxation.
    Do not adjust your ritual over the weekend.
    Do not nap if you have trouble sleeping, unless there is a need for alertness.
    Keep your room cool, dark, and block noises.
    Allow for thorough ventilation in the room to avoid breathing stale air
    The power of suggestion can be a powerful aid in getting a better sleep, especially if used in conjunction with deep breathing. The more that it is used, the more potent the effect it has. Suggestion works by gently reminding your mind. Try “Calm, Peaceful, Sleep, Dream”
    Do not tell yourself how tired you are going to be the next day, as this kind of suggestion is just as fulfilling
     A good night’s sleep can mean the difference between coping effectively with the daily stressors of life and completely losing your mental and physical health.
