  • EP 406 – Upping The Happiness Factor
    Does your company have a happiness engineer?
    Should it have one?
    Big Viking Games in London, Ontario hired happiness engineers to create a low stress work environment in a high-stress industry.
    Their arsenal of happiness includes daily catered lunches a soft-serve ice cream machine and even puppies.
    The founder hopes that this will help them to attract the best people.
    His theory seems to be proving itself.
    His company was named one of the Top 10 Medium Business Employers in Canada by the Great Places To Work Institute.
    Hiring a happiness engineer may not be an option for all companies however, all companies can benefit from upping the happiness factor in their workplace.
    So Here Are Today's Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating International Games Day:
    Bring fun to your workplace. It may include games or challenges.
    Ask your team what suggestions, large and small, will create a happier workplace for them. Even small steps are noticed and appreciated.

  • EP 405 – Giving Up The Shoulds
    Should have. Could have. Would have.
    I should have taken that other job. I should have talked to my friends before I spent all that time and energy. I should have just left it alone.
    Do you find that other people should all over you?
    You should do this. Or you should act this way.
    Most of us have things that we regret, or wish were different in our lives. However, it is both our good and bad decisions that mould us into who we are today.
    What we can do is learn from our past and try not to make the same mistakes again.
    So Here Are Today Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Giving Up Your Shoulds Day:
    I follow this quote as much as possible. It goes: never look back unless you are planning to go that way. Regret is a waste of energy and leaves you feeling guilty.
    Remember, we need to follow our own path and not let other people's expectations rule our life.

  • EP 403 - Fighting Forgetfulness By Using Checklist
    Do you forget things?
    Is it because you forgot to write them down somewhere or tell Alexa to remind you?
    Sometimes we push it out of our mind because the task doesn't rank in importance or urgency.
    Sometimes it's because we want things to turn out just right and then we get overwhelmed by the details.
    I love this quote. If we fail to control the events in our life, then the events in our life will control us.
    Failing to plan and failing to keep moving forward, will ensure that we are stuck.
    So Here Are Today's Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Checklist Day:
    Find the answer to what's in it for me. Why is this task or decision important? What will I achieve once it's completed?
    Write it down or set up a reminder.
    Build systems and procedures to follow that will keep you on track.
    Make appointments with yourself for breaks, planning, visioning, and even napping.
    And reward yourself for getting things done.

  • EP 401 - Taking The Fright Out Of Halloween
    I love Halloween.
    I love getting dressed up now almost as much as I did as a kid.
    I have decorations everywhere.
    I even created a hundred bush path through our trees when my children were small.
    Here Are My Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Halloween Safety Week:
    With so many kids, teens, and adults joining in on the Halloween fun, it's important to remember a few simple tips to ensure that the night won’t end up a fright.

    Have a howling in a good time without the spin tingling chills that give children nightmares.
    If you are worried about ghouls and goblins include line on your party invitation that simply says, no scary costumes please.
    Halloween parties and trick or treat can be a great we'll have fun.
    So plan ahead and happy haunting everyone.

  • EP 400 – Substance Abuse Prevention
    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 Substance Abuse Prevention Month
    Millions experience substance abuse issues, which includes underage drinking, alcohol dependency, non-medical use of prescription drugs, abuse of over-the-counter medications, and illicit drug use. Substance use disorders are health disorders. They are not the result of any kind of character flaw or lack of personal willpower.
    Stigmatizing language can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and act as a barrier to seeking help and sustaining recovery. WORDS MATTER.
    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”.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 399 - We Can All Make A Difference
    Though everyone may want something unique from the job, there are some things common that unite us.
    One of them being that we want to know that we are making a difference.
    A good leader knows how to recognize and value their team members, to let them know that they matter.
    They make a point to notice, show respect and appreciation for a job well done. And they ensure that the team is not just receiving negative criticism.
    Today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Make A Difference Day:
    You don't need to be a leader to make a point of recognizing someone for their contribution, their energy, or their hard work.
    One of the greatest gifts that we can give to one another is the gift of encouragement.
    Build others up and truly value the contributions they make.
    You do not need to be best friends with every one at work, but communicating in a positive way can help to build a positive, productive, and enjoyable place to work.

  • EP 398 – Cranky Co-Worker
    Do you have those days when you are more prickly than others or feel that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
    Sometimes we have these types of days when everything seems to just go wrong. We couldn't find our keys. We had a battle with our teenager. We got stuck in traffic or we're getting a cold.
    Today is the day to celebrate being cranky.
    To celebrate the crankiness in us all.
    So Here Are My Hot Tips For Being Cranky On Cranky Co-Worker Day:
    Don't hold the door open for anyone.
    Slam your office door.
    Don't say goodbye when you hang up the phone.
    Growl at anyone who seems perky.
    Say it can't be done to any suggestion that is made.
    Complain about the rain, snow, wind, sunshine, heat, blue sky, and wear really tight underwear, or at least the kind that seemed to want to climb up higher and higher.
    And finally, if these just don't sound right, smile and ignore the crankiness in someone else and maybe offer them a simple act of kindness.

  • EP 397 - Getting A Massage Can Improve Your Mental Health
    There is nothing more relaxing than having a skilled massage therapist, work out the tension from an overly taunt neck and shoulder muscles.
    But how is a massage an important component to mental health?
    Massage can increase circulation by manually applying pressure and movement. It stimulates nerve receptors causing the blood vessels to dilate.
    It increases oxygen capacity and loosens muscles.
    All of this is great for promoting the body's relaxation response.
    The other benefit is that it forces you to be still and to let your mind wander.
    When the mind is allowed to relax, it is better able to focus when we need it after the message.
    So Here Are My Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating National Massage Therapy Awareness Week.
    Find a qualified massage therapist.
    Ask your friends who they would recommend.
    Book the time. If you wait for the perfect time. you will never find it.
    Our mental health is important, and massage can play an important role in helping us to relax.
    So lay back and enjoy.
