  • 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.

  • EP 532 – Tech Detox
    We are missing out on living life, the more we have our noses buried in our phones or spend time chronicling our every move through Facebook and Instagram. Not to mention that constant connectivity negatively affects your sleep, takes a toll on your mental health and can lead to burnout. Ditching your devices gives your brain a much-needed rest.
    Have you tried to disconnect, but FOMO took over? Could you go unplugged for 24 hours? Do you check your phone or social media out of boredom or procrastination?
    Maybe it is time for a detox?
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Day Of Unplugging:
    Unplugging allows us to connect with ourselves, our loved ones and our communities in real time. 
    Take a walk out in nature today. Check out the parks, countryside or stroll along a beach, even if there is still snow on it.
    Share a meal with friends or family.
    Play together. Try a board game or use conversation starters like ‘would you rather’ to create some fun.
    Write a gratitude list.
    Meditate and fully relax. This can leave you feeling less stressed, and positively change your brain.
    Immerse yourself in the moment. Take in the awesomeness of a sunset without Instagramming it.

  • EP 531 – Appreciation Increases Engagement
    An effective leader shows their employees and their team that they appreciate all their hard work and loyalty. When an employee goes above and beyond on a project, a supportive leader shows their appreciation. When the team achieves a difficult objective, a great leader celebrates their accomplishment.
    Wondering what you can do for your staff to thank them for all their efforts?
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Employee Appreciation Day:
    Celebrate with food. It may be a breakfast, a catered lunch, or a smoothie break during the afternoon slump. What about a team cooking challenge? Provide each team with various ingredients and see what they can put together and enjoy the fun.
    Give the gift of time. Give your team a time off coupon that they can use at their choosing.
    Shout it out. Give a shoutout to a member who has completed a task or gone above and beyond to meet a deadline.
    Send it. A hand-written note, sent to the employee’s home, is an unexpected and genuine way of showing appreciation.
    Bring in a massage therapist to do 15-minute chair massages. A little bit of pampering goes along way.
    Your employees are your most precious asset, let them know that they are valued and appreciated!

  • EP 530 – Sleep Deprived
    Millions are too sleepy for sex, according to a poll by the National Sleep Foundation.
    Many of us are sleeping poorly which is causing us to be sleep deprived, and it’s taking a serious toll on professional relationships, productivity, public safety and even the most intimate aspects of our lives.
    Nearly one-fourth of partnered adults say they have sex less often or have lost interest in sex because they are too sleepy.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Sleep Awareness Week:
    To Help With Being Sleep Deprived:
    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 a deeper sleep.
    Keep your room cool, dark, and block noises. Use a mask if necessary and blackout curtains. 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. 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 529 – Just Do It
    Everyone has problems that they need to deal with. Because problems can cause anxiety, many people will try to avoid, ignore or procrastinate when dealing with difficult issues in their lives.

    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Do Something Day:
    The most difficult step in problem solving is getting to the doing part. To help you carry out your solution, make an action plan. If you know how you are going to carry out your solution, you are more likely to follow through.
    Don’t let your own voice derail you. Be aware of and challenge negative self-talk that can stop you from moving forward.
    List all the obstacles. Great problem solvers take a high-level view of the issues and list of all the potential factors that could get in the way of implementing their solution so that they don’t get taken off task.

  • EP 528 - How Not To Procrastinate
    How many of us couldn’t use an extra hour each day? Planning before starting each day, is said to save us this hour, as we are more effective at using the time that we have. Sometimes though we just can’t seem to get our act together.
    Maybe we just can’t seem to get past our urge to procrastinate. It may be that we are being too perfectionistic, or we dislike the task or person that we have to work with. We could be too tired or fear that we might fail. Sometimes it is just a matter of the task not being a part of our goals and priorities.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Procrastination Week:
    To Avoid Procrastination, we need to:
    Find the answer to ‘What’s In It For Me”. Why do I need to accomplish the task at hand and what benefit will there be for me when I finish it?
    Chunk your time – set a timer. The timer helps you to become more realistic about how long various tasks take.
    Watch out for time gobblers – internet, email, TV, phone, socializing, unimportant notices and forwards
    Delegate when the task is not part of your priority. Not everything has to be done or should be done by you. Let go of your need to control everything.
    Make it fun by rewarding yourself. It is easier to start and finish a task if there is a reward at the end of it…by the way, my chocolate covered almonds are waiting for me as soon as I finish this flash briefing. Till tomorrow have a wonderful day!
