  • EP  295 – Celebrating Your Body
    Are you keeping cool today? It is the middle of summer and it is also International Nude Day.
    Nudist groups around the world celebrate this holiday and take it quite seriously!
    Today is the day to celebrate your birthday suit. However, I wouldn’t suggest it as appropriate attire for the workplace, unless you are like me and you work from home…with no chance that a delivery person will come to the door.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating International Nude Day:
    Be proud of your birthday suit, no matter what shape or size it comes in.
    Though there are some obvious benefits of going nude…like less laundry to do, but make sure that you don’t shock your family, co-workers, or neighbours.
    If you are going to go outside, remember that you will still need to wear sunscreen and watch out for poison ivy if you happen to go for a walk in the woods.
    Finally, if going nude is not quite for you, treat your skin to some pampering.
    Your skin is your largest organ. So slap on some moisturizing cream and give it a bit of attention as you celebrate your skin.

  • EP  294 – Focus On Fun
    Humour can help you thrive in change, remain creative under pressure, work more effectively, play more enthusiastically, and stay healthier in the process.
    Humour and Stress – For some of us it is a lost art, but it can be one of our most powerful ‘life coping’ tools.
    One definition I really like, is that humour is an attitude focused on generating positive feelings in yourself and for others. It is an active state and a choice that we make.
    One other advantage of maintaining a sense of humour and being able to freely laugh is that it provides us with a powerful sense of perspective and ability to build relationships with those around us.
    Humour and creativity originate from a lively imagination and the ability to recognize and to appreciate the incongruities of life.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Personal Health Month:
    Part of ensuring your personal health is making sure that you have a positive and fun attitude towards life. So,
    When you’re feeling terrific – notify your face. Some of us forget to show that we are having fun
    Find funny friends and co-workers. Hang out with the people who’s attitude you admire.
    Develop a Humour First-Aid Kit and fill it with your favourite jokes, clippings, and stories to buffer yourself through hard times.
    Use humour in adversity to lighten up rather than tighten up – Laugh at yourself and your mistakes
    Finally, appreciate today and look for the ‘awesome’.

  • EP  293 – Simplicity
    How are you doing? How’s work going? The kids?
    We are busy! Most of us have a full plate. And many of us have a multitude of things vying for our attention.
    So how can we find a better balance and simplify our life?
    Balance is about maximizing what you love and minimizing what you loathe. Balance is about focusing on the fundamentals: health, security, relationships, personal development, purpose and making them a priority in your life.
    Balance is not about equal it is about satisfaction.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Simplicity Day:
    Design the life that you want to live, by examining where you spend your time and energy.
    Avoid blaming others and situations – WE have the ultimate decision on how OUR time will be spent.
    Develop and set your priorities and say ‘No’ to those things which are not your priority.
    Do not over-program yourself and make time to focus on yourself.
    Don’t get caught up in trying to multitask. Stay focused. Work productively.
    Finally, simplify routines and de-junk your physical space.
    Simplifying means “letting go” of things that weigh us down. Worry, confusion, stress: these are all things can arise from complexity. Getting rid of the distracting parts of our lives, we can live a more balanced, fulfilling life.

  • EP  292 – Cheer Up The Lonely
    Approximately 1 in 5 seniors say that they are lonely.  People can become lonely for any number of reasons, regardless of their age. Some people are lonely because they don’t feel like they fit in, while others may become lonely after the death of a loved one. Other people might just suffer from an illness that doesn’t allow them to see many people.
    When my boys were little, they were blessed to have 3 sets of grandparents and 3 sets of great-grandparents.  Life was busy with two little ones, but we made it a point of visiting each of the great grandparents.  Sometimes the boys would complain, and we would have to explain that not everyone’s lives were busy like ours.  Grandmas and Grandpas loved us and looked forward to us visiting.  It made them happy. 
    It doesn’t take much to cheer up the lonely and make a difference.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Cheer Up The Lonely Day:
    Let your friend or family member know that you are thinking about them.  Send them a message, call them on the phone, or go for a visit.
    Give out a hug.  We need physical contact.  Did you know that giving 5 people a hug every day can lower your own stress level by 25%.
    Ask what they need.  It’s ok to ask.  And if they are not sure, let them know that you are there when they need you.

  • EP  291 – Life Balance
    It is a gorgeous July morning. I have finished watering my newly planted grass seed and now it is time to focus on my business. I am finally feeling like my life is in balance.
    This was a reflection on life that I had several years ago.  It didn’t mean that my life wasn’t chaotic, but I was feeling satisfied with the time and energy that I was spending on the various aspects of my life.
    Sometimes my ‘balance’ lasts for a long time, other times, that balance is fleeting. Balance to me, does not mean equal. Balance means satisfaction.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Life In Balance Month:
    My First Strategy is the belief that I have a purpose in this world and that this world has a purpose.
    Second, is being comfortable with who I am. I am not superhuman. I try my best to take care of myself. My family and my business need me to function.
    Third, I enjoy the little things and look for the awesome.  In my reflection above, my day started outside, watering and weeding. For me, this is nature at its most glorious and it helps to ground and center me.
    Each day I experience different challenges, but these beliefs keep me satisfied with where I am going. How do you create more satisfaction and balance in your life?

  • EP  290 – Grieving The Loss Of A Child
    The loss of a child is the most stressful and inconsolable of losses to deal with. It violates the natural order of things and it’s not fair for an innocent to see their dreams unfulfilled.
    I watched as my husband`s parents grieved for the loss of their son, my husband`s only sibling.  I watched how my brother-in-law`s wife`s parents grieved for the loss of their daughter. Together they were killed by a drunk and drugged driver. Their pain was evident and their grieving styles so different, as was the responses of their family and friends.
    Often, we don’t know what to say or do for grieving parents, so we do nothing.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency Through Bereaved Parents Awareness Month:
    Don`t avoid the parents. It is okay for you to not know what to say or how to help. A listening ear may be what they need the most. I love the sentiment that one parent received from a friend:  “Grieve well. One day you will cease to remember him with tears and instead remember him with smiles.”
    Don`t avoid important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries, but provide an opportunity for the parent to grieve and remember and not feel like they must hold the grief under control.
    Be aware and provide support for both the health of the bereaved parents and their relationships. According to research, bereaved mothers and fathers experience more physical and emotional issues than do non-bereaved parents, including severe depression. It is estimated that over 70% of marriages where a child has died, end in separation or divorce.
    Be patient. Grieving parents may think, do, and say things that are very unlike who they really are and as their family and friends, our job is to be there for them and not judge their reactions as justified or unfair.

  • EP  289 – Cell Phone Courtesy
    Have you experienced this?
    The driver in front of you is going slower and slower on the highway as they talk on their phone
    You are in the bookstore when the person walking beside you has their phone go off breaking the peace and silence.
    You are sitting at a restaurant enjoying the company and the meal when the person next to you engages in cell yell.
    I think that we have all been exposed to poor cell phone etiquette.
    Are you attached to your cell phone?
    I don’t particularly like mine.  In fact, I keep it off most of the time, unless I need to call my husband or remind my kids of something if I am on the road.  But it is getting harder and harder to do that.
    Cell phones are an integral part of our technology-based world, and they won’t be disappearing anytime soon.  However, if we all practiced a little more courtesy using our phone, then maybe cell phones would not seem so annoying and intrusive.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Cell Phone Courtesy Month:
    Evaluate your own cell phone practices:
    Make sure you keep it down. No one wants to hear you on the phone
    Love the vibration. Use your phone’s vibration mode when in public
    Try to excuse yourself when accepting a call in a group gathering
    Focus on the task at hand, not your cell phone
    And try to make the Person You are With Feel Like the Most Important Person you want to talk to

  • EP  288 – Stretching The Truth
    Liar, liar, pants on fire.
    Have you ever told a lie?  Even a little white lie?
    Is it ever okay to lie?  Do you think that stretching the truth is lying?  Or is lying by omission lying?
    Have you ever lied about your spending habits or about an illness to a boss so that you could take an extra vacation day?  Is there such a thing as an acceptable lie?
    Research out of the University of California suggests that people tell an average of two lies a day.  A survey conducted in the UK estimated that parents will tell children approximately 3,000 lies throughout their childhood and a US poll reported that 31% of moms said that they lied more often since having kids.
    So is it possible to always tell the truth?  Probably not as sometimes we lie to protect the feelings of another or to prevent issues from arising. 
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Tell The Truth Day:
    Take note of the things that you may be lying about.  Then, ask yourself why do you feel the need to lie about these things? The insights that you garner may be invaluable in measuring your morale compass.
    See how long you can go without lying.  And avoiding all other human contact during this time doesn’t count.  Do you have a harder time not lying at work or at home?
    REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE – Let the truth you share be in a manner that you would also appreciate.

  • EP  287 – Kissing For Happiness
    Pucker up. Today is a lip-smacking day.
    Is your technique more washing machine, cannibal, puppy, or prude?
    Did you know that locking lips, increases your heart rate and causes your pupils to dilate? It also releases endorphins causing the feeling of happiness.
    A kiss is a perfect way to tell someone you love them, to connect with that special someone and a perfect way to take your relationship to the next level.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating International Kissing Day:
    Did you know that:
    In Italy and Greece friends, commonly kiss each other on the lips when greeting each other, whereas in France one air kiss on each cheek is a customary greeting.
    In Vietnam, China and Japan kissing between spouses is only done in private. While people from the Netherlands opt for 3 kisses as a form of greeting.
    In one survey, 23% said that their kissing skills were amazing, while 2% said that they were horrible at it.
    They also reported that the worst attributes of a bad kisser were bad breath, too much tongue, teeth gnashing, not enough tongue and no eye contact.
    Funny enough, 11% of people said that there were grossed out by their parents kissing in front of them.
    The act of kissing has many meanings and takes many forms. No matter which type of kiss you prefer, International Kissing Day is the perfect time to celebrate this powerful gesture. And if you don’t have anyone that you can pucker up with, you can always celebrate the day with a yummy Hershey’s Kiss.

  • EP  286 – Combating Boredom
    “I’m bored, there’s nothing to do”.
    As summer vacation begins for thousands of children this is far too often a familiar complaint. But boredom is generally a totally self-inflicted problem.
    The antidote to boredom is curiosity. Curiosity happens when you start to explore the world around you.
    You will be less likely to feel bored if you go out, get active, pick up a new hobby, or even volunteer. You will be too busy learning new things or meeting new people to feel bored.
    For children the anticipation of summer-fun wanes as the summer goes on and all those previously fun activities start to feel stale.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Anti-boredom Month with your family:
    Make up a new sport. When you’ve created new rules for an old game, your mind in more engaged and time flies by.
    Change the scenery – Set up a tent or a picnic area in your backyard.
    Put out a challenge. Design the classic scavenger hunt or let the kids design the challenge for an activity and see what they come up with.
    Come up with a list of the most boring things to do and see how the creative juices kick in.
    And if all else fails – suggest a list of chores that they can complete. You will be amazed at how quickly they can find activities to entertain themselves.
