  • EP  375 – Healthy Workplaces
    It saddens me when we still hear stories of how employees feel hopeless and helpless to change negative situations, and the stress of it all ends up having a good employee leave. We know that engaged employees help our companies to be more creative, productive, and successful, yet some employers still look at employees as being a commodity that you push them to their limits, burn them out, and discard them for the next person standing in line.
    It is easier to get new employees than to fix the things that are wrong within the system.
    Here are my Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Healthy Workplace Month:
    Start a conversation.
    If you are a leader, what are the sources of stress within your team, professionally personally? If you're not sure, ask. What impact is it having? What are the symptoms that you see in your employees and in the company?
    Get support.
    Bring together all involved to talk about strategies.
    And finally, get involved in all of the programs that your company has to offer.
    You never know what you will learn, or how it could positively impact your life or those around you.

  • EP 374 - Less Than Perfect Is Healthy
    I am a perfectionist.
    Are you?
    Do you know someone who is?
    Perfectionists are extremely hard workers and they generally accomplish more than the average person. However perfectionists are extremely hard on themselves and on those around them.
    Perfectionism is destructive behavior and it's addictive. Physical exhaustion and burnout are common.
    So here are my hot tips for Building Your Resiliency on Less Than Perfect Day:
    A quote that I like goes like this: "Less than perfect is a perfect start."
    This is something that I need to keep in mind. Give yourself permission not to be perfect all of the time.
    Number two: Practice self compassion. Challenge those thoughts of criticism and unrealistic expectations.

  • EP 372 – Minimizing Caffeine
    Coffee has never been more popular, with an estimated 3 billion cups consumed every day.
    Caffeine can promote alertness, and it may decrease the occurrence of depression.
    However, sleep can be negatively affected by caffeine. It can create a never-ending cycle of reduced sleep, fatigue, and a need for increased caffeine consumption.
    Our sensitivity to caffeine and the impact on our sleep seems to be dependent on age, the amount of caffeine ingested at bedtime, and also on the amount of caffeine ingested over the whole day.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating International Coffee Day:
    Caffeine consumed close to sleep time has the greatest potential for sleep disruption, so be aware of how much caffeine you are consuming in a day and when.
    When stress is at its highest, it is advisable to cut back on caffeine. Caffeine abstinence for a whole day can improve sleep quality quickly, which is vital for being able to cope and ward off the negative impact of the stressful situation.
    Finally, while drinking caffeinated coffee in moderation can help to maintain adequate fluids, which can reduce fatigue, water is still considered to be more beneficial in rehydration and maintaining cognitive functioning.

  • EP  371 – Be A Good Neighbour
    Good neighbours help each other.
    You can't pick your neighbors but if you are lucky, you have good neighbours.
    I live in the country and I don’t really have close neighbours, but I do wave to them, as we drive by. And when my boys were little, it was the neighbourhood teenagers that I counted on for babysitting.
    Neighbours who look out for one another are the key to a strong community. It was this connectedness that acted as a buffer to those who left everything that they a couple of hundred years ago, and started the settlements here in North America. Times were tough, but the sense of belonging, support, and care helped them to flourish.
    Sadly, this sense of connectedness to our neighbours is lacking in many communities. Neighbours don’t often know each other. And many people feel isolated and disengaged.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Good Neighbour Day.
    Everyone will have their own definition of what it means to be a good neighbour.
    For me, a good neighbour is friendly and considerate.
    They respect your space and privacy.
    Good neighbours take time to talk, smile, or give a wave hello.
    They keep an eye out, when they know you are away.
    The neighbourhood we live in can affect our happiness and stress levels in multiple ways. When you're thinking of strategies to manage your stress, consider investing in your relationships with your neighbours.

  • EP  370 – Show That You Care Send A Love Note
    Who doesn't love receiving a special note of affection from someone they cherish? Well, my boys don't or at least that's what they told me.
    Apparently, my love notes added to their lunchbox when I was out of town was embarrassing. Opening your lunch bag and having one of these notes fall in front of your friends was horrific.
    How could their mother do this to them?
    It was so horrible though, that one day I found several of these notes tucked away in my son's room. When questioned, he admitted that he really did like them, but he would prefer to find them under his pillow instead. I can live with that.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Love Note Day.
    Express yourself. Let the person know how much you love them, miss them, are grateful for them, and appreciate them.
    Hide your love notes someplace special. Stick it to the water bottle, inside their fridge, or attach it to the backside of the remote control.
    My challenge for you today is to do one thing to show someone that you care.

  • EP  369 – Building Resilience As We Age
    Do you find yourself creaking, cracking, groaning, or moaning, more as you age?
    I recently took a look at a website that tried to determine your real age compared to your chronological age.
    I was pleased to see that it covered a variety of areas related to positive stress management and this sparked some interesting reflection regarding healthy aging.
    Studies show that regularly exercising our brains by problem-solving, organizing, and prioritizing helps our bodies age healthy.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Healthy Aging Month.
    Well besides the obvious of healthy eating and staying hydrated, along with regular exercise, make sure that you're getting an adequate amount of sleep.
    And finally, look for creative ways to stimulate your brain.

  • EP  368 – Someday and Procrastination
    If running the kids around was actually exercise I would have been in such amazingly good shape! Unfortunately, as women, caregiving can get in the way of taking care of ourselves.  Often, we spend our time looking after the needs of others and sacrifice our own health along the way.  “Someday I will get to it”, is a motto that many of us have lived by.
    Guilt is not helpful either.  Feeling guilty because things are not the way we would want them to be, is very detrimental to our health.
    Part of balance is having areas of your life that bring you motivation, energy and satisfaction.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency During National Women’s Health and Fitness Day:
    Stop thinking ‘someday’ and find something today.  Start small if you must.  Get outside for a few minutes and play with the dog.  Try some stretching exercises while sitting at your desk.  Reach for a glass of water rather than another cup of coffee. 
    Ask for help in order to free up some time.  We don’t need to do it all ourselves. 
    Remember that having great days, and having great health and fitness, encompass a variety of things from relaxation and pampering, to eating right and sleeping right, to activities that get your heart beating and your muscles working.
    It’s our responsibility to make sure we are doing things that promote health because if we wait until someday, it may be too late.
