  • EP 434 - Security Alert
    It is something that we all know that we should do. But often, it is not until something goes wrong or we’ve had a close call that we actually do do it.
    What is it?
    Backing up our computer files and taking care of our computer.
    Beverly’s Hot Tips For Building Resilience and Celebrating Computer Security Day:
    Change your passwords.
    Update your anti-virus program.
    Check for computer viruses.
    Back-up your data. (after being certain that it is virus-free.)
    Store back-up data off site.
    Delete unneeded files.
    Install and inspect power surge protection as appropriate.
    Install fire/smoke detection equipment in computer areas.
    Don’t drink in your computer area.
    Our computers have become one of our most valuable possessions. Not because of their purchase price, but because of all the important and often critical data that they contain. Mark off dates on your calendar to remind you to do the most important security work that you can do. Protect your computer.

  • EP 433 - Looking Good
    The weather is changing and for some of us, so does our skin. Our skin is often a reflection of our overall health. It can show signs of stress, lack of sleep and poor diet. How do we take the best care of our skin during this time?
    Here are some quick skin care tips:
    Exfoliate at least once a week.
    Use sunscreen at least 30 minutes before you go outdoors.
    Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated inside and out.
    Get a good sleep – aiming for 7-9 hours of restful sleep.
    Beverly’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Awareness During National Healthy Skin Month:
    It is important to examine your body for marks
    Check your front and back in the mirror, then look at the right and left sides with your arms raised.
    If you find a spot look for things like:
    One half is unlike the other half.
    An irregular, scalloped, or poorly defined border.
    If it varies from one area to another; has shades of tan, brown, or black; is sometimes white, red, or blue.
    Look for anything that is changing in size, shape, or color.
    Early detection is key.

  • EP 432 – Be An Inspiration
    “We love coming to your class. You are such a great role model for our kids.”
    That blew me away. I didn’t really think of myself as a role model. I am just the karate Sensei at the front of the room.
    But I guess I am a role model. I let the kids know how tough it is for me to go to a tournament and compete. And how nervous I get before and during my grading. I let them know that they can do all of these things too, even in they are afraid, and that I believe in them.
    I hope that I can inspire them to believe in themselves. To move beyond fear.
    So Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating National Inspirational Role Models Month:
    I hope that everyone has someone that inspires them to become the person they want to be.
    If you haven’t found that person yet, look around. They may be a historic figure, an ancestor, a close family member, a friend, or colleague.
    Strive to be a role model to others.
    I have some great role models – some are my best girl friends. And I have been fortunate to have great colleagues who I look up to in the way that they innovate, persevere, and reach for success. I am fortunate to have had people who have encouraged me to reach further then I thought capable. I continue to learn from my husband in the way that he problem solves life’s challenges.
    Think of the people who you most wish to emulate. If they are still with you, give them a phone call or thank them in person. If they are not here, tell someone about them and keep their legacy alive.
    If you like today’s resiliency tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 431 - Watching Our Language
    Sadly, one in 10 Canadians suffers from some type of substance use disorder. That could mean your colleague, your neighbour or someone in your own family. Addiction does not discriminate—it affects all walks of life. ​
    The total societal cost of substance abuse is in the billions. Whether the cost comes from lost productivity in the workplace, increased cost to our healthcare system or pressure on our law enforcement agencies, substance use disorders cost money.
    People are dying. Substance use disorders can be progressive and fatal if left untreated.
    So Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating National Addiction Awareness Week:
    Choose to recognize that substance use disorders are health disorders. They are not the result of any kind of character flaw or lack of personal willpower. In fact, substance use disorders are the most common mental health disorder.
    Stigmatizing language can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and act as a barrier to seeking help and sustaining recovery. The truth is … WORDS MATTER.
    Watch the language that you use. Here are some ways to avoid using language that stigmatizes substance use and addiction:
    Use “people-first language.” For instance, refer to “person who uses substances”, rather than a  “drug user”, “addict” or “alcoholic”. This is more neutral language that helps to maintain the individuality of the person.
    Choose language that promotes the recovery process. This means not describing a person being “clean” or “dirty” but rather “not currently using substances” or “in recovery”.

  • EP 430 - How Can I Give Back?

    We all have the power to make a positive difference. How do you give back?
    Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating World Day Of Giving:
    What act of giving can you do today? Can you be a coach or mentor? Can you donate blood or buy a cup of coffee for someone in need?
    Share a picture of someone or something that represents your reason for giving

  • EP 429 - Every Story Matters
    I belong to the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers. As one of our chapter presidents, it was obvious that we were not the association of professional listeners. It took forever to get everyone focused to begin our events as the chatter was so extensive. Listening can be hard for us to do. It is an investment that sometimes we are not willing to make and because of this, we may miss out on hearing the other person’s story.
    Originally this day was initiated to encourage people to interview a loved one, friend, or member of your community and to share this story with others. The feeling was that every story matters, and they need to be shared
    Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating National Day Of Listening:
    Ask people about their journey and experiences and really listen in
    Interview a friend or family member. Record the interview and then share it with others.
    By really listening to these stories, you will be conveying that they matter. This may be the most meaningful time you spend with someone all year.

  • EP 428 - Uniquely You
    We are all remarkable. However, many of us have talents that we don’t share, as we believe that we are unremarkable, plain, or ordinary.
    I love this quote by Henry Van Dyke:  the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
    So Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating Your Unique Talent Day:
    Embrace your uniqueness. You are truly a category of 1
    Share your talent. If it is a creative talent, share it so that others can appreciate it.
    If it is a quirky talent, make someone laugh. This can be the best gift that they received all day
    Host a talent break at work
    So sing out loud, dance in the street, paint a picture, wiggle your eyebrows, talk in a cartoon voice or whistle through your nose.

  • EP 427 - Giving Thanks
    “What do you say?”  “Thank you”
    As parents, we probably said this a lot, as we taught our children to be thankful for the gifts that they received or when others did nice things for them.
    Are You Thankful?
    I think as adults we sometimes forget to be thankful.  We often focus on the difficulties and on the things that are not going right and sometimes we lose sight of the things that are going well and the blessings that we have received.
    A line of wisdom goes…You cannot welcome more abundance into your life until you have said thanks to the universe for all that you have.
    Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating I Am So Thankful Month
    Make a list of all that you are thankful for in your work and personal life. 
    Look at that list when you are feeling down and use it to pick up your spirits and keep you moving forward
    Know that when we are full of thanks, we radiate this to the people around us and we impact them in a positive way.
    Hang out with people who are truly thankful.  It is contagious.

  • EP 426 - Buy Nothing Day
    Have you seen any zombies walking around the mall?
    These zombies want you to Forget Black Friday and instead celebrate Buy Nothing Day.
    Today is the day to consider if you are on the road of over-consumption.
    Are you in need of a retail detox? It is easy to get caught up in the ads that promise bargains and we end up jumping on the bandwagon purchasing things that we don’t really need.
    So Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating Buy Nothing Day:
    Make a commitment to examine your purchasing habits
    Evaluate whether they are needs or wants
    Do your purchases end up having a negative impact on your budget or the environment?
    Buy Nothing Day is not just about changing your habits for one-day, but about starting a lasting lifestyle commitment to consuming less and producing less waste.

  • EP 455 - The Sound Of Silence
    What would a day of complete silence be like’ Would you love it or hate it’ Would you be lonely’ Some people dislike being silent as they equate it with being alone. Would you know how to cope with silence for a day’
    We live in a very loud world where TV, music, and smartphones fill the void with white noise. Many of us, never take the opportunity to sit and enjoy silence’ 
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Be A Lover Of Silence Day:
    Silence and solitude give us the space to think, act, and play "catch up" with our mind, and can be very healthy for our physical and mental wellbeing. By keeping external silence we are allowing our internal thoughts to be heard.
    Shut it off. Noise has a negative impact on the brain, which can lead to elevated levels of stress hormones. Researchers found that silence can release tension in the brain and body in just two minutes. It was even more relaxing than listening to "relaxing" music.
    Finally, if you can’t keep silent for an entire day, start off small. Engage in deep breathing exercises or meditation. This helps calm your mind and quiet it at the same time.
