  • 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.

  • EP 537 - Be Content Whatever The Circumstances
    "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have more than enough.  I have learnt the secret to being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether poor or rich.  I have the ability to face all situations because of the strength God gives me."  Philippians 4:11-13
    This is the sign above my desk that I read everyday that I am in my office. I am not there yet, but it is what I strive for.  Contentment.  A belief that things will be okay and that I will be okay.
    Spiritual Wellness is generally considered to be the search for meaning and purpose in human existence, leading one to strive for a state of harmony with oneself and others, while working to balance inner needs with the rest of the world.
    The path to spiritual wellness may involve meditation, prayer, affirmations, or specific spiritual practices that support your connection to a higher power or belief system.
    Spiritual wellness involves having compassion, the capacity for love and forgiveness, altruism, joy, and fulfillment.
    Your religious faith, values, beliefs, principles, and morals define your spirituality.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Achieving Spiritual Wellness:
    Evaluate your own spiritual wellness with this brief quiz.
    Do you make time for relaxation in your day?
    Is there time for meditation and/or prayer?
    Do your values guide your decisions and actions?
    Are you accepting of the views of others?
    This month focus on the meaning and purpose of your life and try to bring more harmony and balance to it.

  • EP 536 – Caffeinated
    Do you drink more than four cups of coffee a day?
    Do you often find yourself irritable, depressed or disoriented after drinking caffeinated beverages?
    When you don’t drink caffeine do you find yourself experiencing headaches, drowsiness, or insomnia?
    National Caffeine Awareness Month draws attention to the risk associated with caffeine.
    At 200 mg of caffeine, you can experience irritability, restlessness, tension, insomnia, excitement, and gastrointestinal disturbance.
    If you consume more than 1 gram (1000 mg), you can receive irregular heartbeats, panic and anxiety disorders, muscle twitching, and incoherent speech.
    And, believe it or not, when you ingest more than 5 grams, the results can be fatal.
    Caffeine has a half-life of about six-hours. That means that if your 4 o’clock cup of coffee contains 200 mg of caffeine, by 10 o’clock that night, there will still be 100 mg of caffeine in your body, preventing you from falling into a deep and restful sleep.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Caffeine Awareness Month:
    Look at what you consume – caffeine is often a hidden ingredient in some of our favourite foods.
    Be aware of how much caffeine you are consuming in a day.
    Look at why you consume certain caffeinated drinks. Is it the flavour, the social aspect, the energy boost, or is it out of thirst or boredom? The answer will help you to determine if there is a healthier way to fill that need.

  • EP 534 – Don’t Panic
    Help! It’s Panic Day.
    This awareness day is not about panic attacks or panic disorder which is serious and affects 2-3% of the population. Today is the day to examine how we may over-react to the stress in our everyday lives and to find strategies that will keep us focused and healthy.
    You know the over-reactions that we are talking about.  We even have sayings that go with them… such as don’t cry over spilled milk… Or don’t make mountains out of mole hills.
    Anxiety and stress have their place in our life. They help us to avoid danger. They keep us thinking and being creative. And they keep us on our toes so that we don’t become complacent.
    The point at which worry becomes unhealthy is when it stops pushing us to act and move forward.  This panic can be paralyzing and prevent us from thinking clearly enough to find the best strategies to deal with the source of our anxiety.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Panic Awareness Day:
    Listen to the way that you describe the situations that you find yourself in.  Do you use extreme-type words?  Do you awfulize everything?  Choose the words carefully. 
    Evaluate how you are feeling in relation to the situation.  Are you feeling helpless or hopeless? 
    Notice what happens to your body when you feel this way.  Where does it hit you the most? 
    Try different relaxation techniques to combat those anxious feeling.
    Evaluate the situation to see what options you have.  Keep yourself moving forward in the problem-solving mode and the anxiety will be kept in check.
    What is your release?  Sometimes we need a quick strategy to release the anxiety so that we can start to problem solve.  This may include a good scream, a run, or a round or two on the punching bag.

  • EP 533 – Spring Ahead
    In most of Canada, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March. Today!
    I have a hard time with these adjustments. I love having it brighter in the evenings, but that adjustment to darkness early in the morning again makes it less likely that I am springing out of bed…for a while any way.
    Daylight saving time isn't all bad.
    In fact, when we move an hour ahead, we enjoy more daytime hours, which hopefully we are using to get outside, connect and just become more active after the sluggishness of winter. There are definite other benefits to the clocks shifting, including decreased oil and energy usage. Daylight Saving Time seems to decrease the risk for accidents in the evening hours. However, a Swedish study found that heart attacks were significantly more common the first three weekdays after our spring transition.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating the switch to Daylight Saving Time:
    Though it’s only one day, daylight saving time can throw off your entire schedule, and the sleep effects tend to linger for a few days.
    Therefore it is important to take note of the impact that the clock shifting has on your sleep, mood and focus. Ensure that you are getting a good night’s sleep before this occurs to minimize the impact of this shift.
    More light can equal more time to do what you want or need to do, which equals a happier you. Make use of the extra daylight and enjoy the changing seasons.
