TIP 2252 - The Great Warm Up
4 hours ago
4 hours ago
Listen to today's podcast...
I love de-junking. There is nothing better than getting rid of clutter and unused items. It changes my perspective. It helps me to think more clearly. I feel free.
Every couple of years I attack my closets. I get rid of the clothes that I no longer like, are worn out or have ‘magically shrunk’.
I often look at the bags of clothes in front of me and think, “What a waste”. However, it is not a waste. In most cases, these clothes have seen their share of special occasions, lounging days or workplace meetings. It is not a waste, because these clothes are donated to others who will continue to appreciate their beauty or their warmth.
I live where there is truly a winter. It takes a lot of money to stay warm and healthy in this bitter weather. Some can barely make ends meet and the clothes that we donate help them to survive.

Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating The Great Warm Up
De-Junk and Simplify. The Great Warm Up is a call for everyone to look into their closets and pare them down. Donations of coats, hats, scarves, mittens and boots are desperately needed, as are blankets and sleeping bags.
Donate to agencies, like the Canadian Mental Health Association in Toronto, that purchase hats, scarves and mittens and deliver them to the homeless and those with mental health issues at Christmas time.
Think twice before buying something new. Is it a need or a want’?

Listen to today's podcast...
Everyone Has Bad Days!
We all have a day that is off, but sometimes we feel pressure to pretend that all is good and that we are happy.
Have A Bad Day is permission to actually have a bad day or to take a mental health day.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So Here Are Today’s Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating Have A Bad Day:
Know that there are friends out there to support you through it. Let them know that you could use a pick-me-up.
Don’t try to suppress those negative emotions. Recognize them for what they are. Feel them and then move yourself through the situation.
Know that tomorrow will be different. It may not be better. It may be worse. But it will be different. Just because today was horrible, doesn’t mean tomorrow will be.
Your goal on these days is just to survive the day and minimize the long-term damage.
Remember those times that were good so that you don’t get so tainted by the bad day.
Try a do-over. Sometimes going back to bed and starting the day over can be just the cure that you need!

Tis the season to think about what we are thankful for. It is also a perfect time to share our compassion. Being grateful is the number one personality trait that leads to happiness. And being compassionate to others has been found to be protective to our own mental health.
Within our communities there are many who are experiencing homelessness and hunger. No one should have to worry about whether they will have food on their plate or a roof over their head. But the reality is that hunger and homelessness are widespread problems that affect far too many people.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here Are Today’s Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating National Hunger And Homeless Awareness Week:
Practice daily gratitude. What are you thankful for?
Show compassion. Find ways to contribute to supporting those facing the challenges of homelessness and hunger.
6 children a minute are dying from a hunger-related disease, but this is not just in famine-stricken countries. 1 in 5 children in the US live in poverty and 1 in 8 families in Canada struggle to put food on the table. These families live in a state of food insecurity, which means they do not have reliable access to adequate amounts of safe, good-quality, nutritious food. Food banks are an important method of addressing this need. They may not be best solution, but they are necessary right now. So consider donating or volunteering.

TIP 2249 – Family Stories Matter

Listen to today's podcast...
“Hold On, It’s Going To Be Okay”
This saying is part of my family story, along with how my parent’s set up their farm, the struggles that they had, where my grandparents went dancing on the weekends and how they walked up hill both ways to get to school, through 10 foot drifts of snow, even in the spring.
Family stories shape who we are.
They directly impact how we see ourselves, our desire to succeed, and even our level of resiliency.
Family stories give us an idea of where we come from and how we fit into our larger, extended, family.
Research shows that teens who were able to recount details of their family stories had higher self-esteem and greater resilience than those who couldn’t.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So Here Are Today’s Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating Family Stories Matter Month:
If you have elderly relatives, ask them about their stories. Record them. Share them.
Ask about the traditions. Ask about the hardships and the triumphs. Stories of perseverance and resilience give us the faith and hope that we can too. Stories of different generations provide insight and understanding. They provoke curiosity to learn more.
Take the time during family gatherings to ask your children about their stories. You may be surprised at what you may not know about them and their story.
Finally, write your own story. Some of it is painful. Some brings a smile. Share these so that others can see your story in building their resiliency.

“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 Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating I Am So Thankful Month and Gratitude 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.

I love my pajamas.
I could hang out in them all day. I could work in them all day. And I feel a sense of relief when I put my flannels on at the end of the day.
It is a huge trend right now to having matching family pjs for watching movies or playing games during the holidays.

So here is to Celebrating National Family PJ Night:
There is some confusion as to what day this should be celebrated on, however, I don’t think that it matters when you get together.
National Family Pajama Night is a time to relax, have fun, and create some memories.
Start your own new tradition just in time for the holiday season.
No matter what the age everyone can get into the spirit of connection and fun.
If you don’t have family to get together with, have a virtual PJ party with friends, or dress your pet up and snuggle on the couch.
It is the spirit of fun that matters the most.

Leave a love note for your spouse. Let them know that you still hold them in your heart.
Make a donation to a charity on behalf of a love one.

“You can’t do anything right”. “This is your fault – It’s always your fault”.

This is the time of year to start drafting your letter to Santa. Letters to Santa Claus have a magical Christmas power all their own — they share a child's hopes and dreams, contain wishes innocent enough to bring tears to a parent’s eyes and can save the day like in the classic holiday film, "Miracle on 34th Street."
One letter went like this Dear Santa, I have been good for the last week or so…let’s just focus on that.
Even if you don’t believe in Santa, what would you wish for?

Don’t expect them to be delivered on Christmas morning. That only happens in those sappy Hallmark-movies, but it might actually do you some good to take a moment to think about what you really want and put it in writing. There's something to be said for putting into words the things you want in your life. It can be an eye-opening experience as you may find that your priorities are made clear. You may also find that many of the things that you are wanting are within your control.

Have you ever looked through old pictures and ever wondered whatever happened to some of the people that you were friends with or met along the way?
Have you tried to find out where they are or what they are up to on social media?
I have.
I have looked up long lost roommates, classmates, old boyfriends, teachers, and even old bosses.
Sometimes out of nostalgia. Sometimes out of curiosity. Sometimes out of a desire to reconnect.
Forget Me Not Day is a day to try and reconnect with some of the people that you may not be in touch with anymore.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here are my tips for Building Resiliency and Celebrating Forget Me Not Day:
Social connection is important, but before I would spend a lot of time and energy on finding those from your past, ask yourself if you are doing a good job of staying connected and supporting those who are your current friends, colleagues, and family members.
Research shows that doubling your group of friends has the same impact on your well-being as a 50% increase in income, we only have so much time and energy to spend on cultivating true, healthy relationships. So use your time and energy wisely.
If you do have a desire to reconnect, ask yourself why. Is it because of curiosity, guilt, or an interest to start up a new relationship? The answer will also help you decide if you should reach out or invest the time and energy.
Social connections and support are key to building resiliency and we know that we are forming fewer friendships than in the past. As life gets busier, we often find that we barely have enough time for ourselves, let alone staying connected with others. Developing and maintaining positive friendships takes effort. Friendships take time to grow, to build trust and to share common experiences. Today is a great day to reach out and let your friends know that you are thinking of them.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have ample time…Really?
More than enough time to get the things done that we would like to be able to get done?
Do you remember the 1996 movie “Multiplicity” with Michael Keaton?
I would love to have several clones of myself all existing at the same time to get all of the many things done that I wanted to get done. There would be the Magnificent Mom. The Grateful Gardener. The World Renown Stress Speaker and the Magnificent Marketer who could pump out websites and create marketing materials faster than a speeding bullet.

Know what your priorities are in each area of your life. Write them down. Once we know what is important to us, it is a lot easier to make decisions about how we use our time in the best way possible.
Watch out for ‘black holes’ that seem to suck a lot of our time away. These activities may be enjoyable, they may be part of your relaxation program, but they also tend to eat up more time then we allocated or expected.
Finally, make sure that you are taking care of yourself, otherwise you will be tired out and lack the energy to use your time wisely.

Drowsy Driving kills

Know that even one night of sleep loss or poor sleep can put you at risk of drowsy driving. But certain people have a higher risk of drowsy driving than others. So be aware if you have a sleep disorder, work shifts or are taking medications as these can increase your risk for drowsy driving.
Rolling down the windows or turning up the volume on the radio will do little to increase your alertness while driving. So try to get a full night of seven to eight hours of sleep before driving. Avoid driving late at night or alone. And if you need to pull over at a rest stop and take a nap.

TIP 2238 – Meditation To Mend The Mind
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
Listen to today's podcast...
Our minds can not operate on ‘full throttle’ all day long. Focus meditation helps to clear the mind of racing, cluttered thoughts by focusing our energies on a particular image or thought. Gradually distracting thoughts will decrease during meditation. This strategy helps to restore mental balance by providing a break in our hectic day. By allowing our mind to slow down it is better able to focus when we return to the task at hand.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Stress Awareness Day:
All that is needed is a quiet environment, a comfortable position, a mental image or positive thought in which to focus on, and an attitude that will permit relaxation to happen. Meditating or focusing on music or a relaxing video can give the mind a needed break from stressful events such as conflict, problem-solving, and high energy output.
Guided imagery is a visualization technique, that goes one step further than mediation, by actually engaging the senses within the body to deliver a variety of messages. It can be used to reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol, reduce muscle tension, and increase energy. Your body responds to these positive images in the same way it would, if the image was ‘real’.
There is no way we can not get rid of all of our stress, nor do we want to. What we want to do is to reduce our negative reactions to stress so that we don’t become sick, worn down, and worn out. Start by adding one relaxation technique to your daily checklist of things to do.

Gathering around a fire pit is a guaranteed way to instantly increase your relaxation factor.
The crackling sound and bright flames are mesmerizing. There is nothing better for me, than a snowy day, cuddled with a blanket beside the fireplace hearing the crackling of the wood.
These relaxing effects from fire may go back to prehistoric times when our ancestors socialized primarily around campfires – forging strong bonds with others and sharing the safety fire provided from predators. You may not have a campfire to sit by or a fireplace in your house, but you can now tune in to a TV station or Youtube video that broadcasts a wood burning fire experience all day long. One study found that that blood pressure decreased for those who watched and listened to the sound of a fire and the longer people watched the fire, the more relaxed they became.

TIP 2236 - Using Your Common Sense
Monday Nov 04, 2024
Monday Nov 04, 2024
Listen to today's podcast...
Why is common sense not so common?
Common sense is one of the most revered qualities in the workplace. People with common sense are seen as reasonable, down-to-earth, reliable, and practical but here's the catch.
Common sense is neither common nor sense.
If common sense was common, then most people wouldn't make the kinds of decisions they do. Every day people wouldn't buy stuff they couldn't afford. They wouldn't smoke cigarettes or eat junk food. They wouldn't gamble.
In other words people wouldn't do a multitude of things that are clearly not good for them.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency
So Here Are My Tips For Building Resiliency In Celebrating Use Your Common-Sense Day:
Trusting in common sense can cause us to make poor rather than sound judgments.
Gather the facts.
Look at past experience and talk to others before making decisions which could have dire consequences.
Keep an open mind to all the possibilities, rather than just confirming the solution that you want to see.
And finally, while we often think with our emotions, this can lead to negative outcomes.
There are times when it's better to think with our analytic brain instead of our heart.

Gossiping is a reflection of who you are at the core.
Consider the conversations that you have. Are they serving a purpose? Is that purpose constructive. Is it focusing on solving issues or just to draw people to your side?
It can be hard to avoid gossip. Become skilled at walking away or changing the subject. If you can, focus the conversation on problem solving instead of allowing the attack to continue.

“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.

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.
