TIP 1492 – Working With Difficult People
Saturday Oct 22, 2022
Saturday Oct 22, 2022
Our goal is to stop rewarding irritating behaviours and attitudes.
To do this, we must understand what employees expect to gain from being so difficult.
Celebrate Mediation Week.
Understanding why some co-workers may become difficult or negative, and when they are more likely to act that way, can prevent the buildup of tension.
So why are people difficult?
Some employees learn very early on, that the more noise they make, the more likely those around them will respond to their squeaky wheel.
For some, negative attitudes and behaviors are expressed when they just don't have the energy to use better communication skills, judgment, or manners.
The difficulty behind these attitudes and behaviors is that they are highly toxic, and they can ripple out to those around us.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency
So Here Are Today's Tips For Building Resiliency In Celebrating Mediation Week:
Our goal is to stop rewarding those irritating behaviors. To do this we must understand what the person expects to gain from being so difficult.
Some want to feel more in control. Some want to feel important and listened to.
Be in the moment and treat each person as if they are all that matters. It is hard to be difficult with someone who makes us feel special.
And finally, move difficult people away from problem identification into problem solving. By understanding what employees expect to gain from using undesirable behaviors, we are in a much better position to deflect and defeat the difficult behavior.

TIP 1491– Burning Out The Babysitter
Friday Oct 21, 2022
Friday Oct 21, 2022
I find it very sad when I see someone who was dedicated and enthusiastic about their job, leaves because of burnout.
This is often the case in the childcare profession.
Burnout is a state of fatigue, while feeling frustrated, overworked and unappreciated. It combines physical, emotional and mental symptoms.
Workplace stress and burnout is very high in the childcare profession due to the stress of managing multiple children and their behaviours, the relationships with parents and peers, and often there is a lack of recognition and appreciation for what should be seen as such an important role in our society.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Childcare Professionals Day:
As a childcare professional be aware of the problem and recognize the danger signs of burnout, then take care of your health.
Learn long-term and short-term relaxation and stretching strategies.
Be realistic about goals and expectations. Set limits.
Develop strong communication skills and strategies for dealing with children, parents and peers.
Develop activities that are separate from work.
As a parent whose child is looked after by a childcare professional:
Remember that parenting isn`t easy at the best of times, neither is looking after someone else`s child. Not everything will be perfect or dealt with exactly as you would like it to be.
Let go of minor annoyances and deal appropriately and respectfully with those issues that must be addressed.
My children are many years out of their daycare setting, but they still have warm feelings for their childcare providers when they see them in person or when we look at pictures from the past. So to JoAnne, Clare, Sara, Kelly, Julie, and Darlene – many thanks for taking good care of my boys.

TIP 1488 – Coping With The Change
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
‘The change’, ‘the time of life’ – call it what you will, it is an unavoidable fact that all women go through menopause as they age into their 50’s, and 60’s.
However, for some women this natural process is a time of anxiety and distress.
Menopause is influenced by hormones – or more correctly, by a change in hormone levels. Less oestrogen is produced, causing the body to behave differently. However the body does not stop producing oestrogen overnight, and the process can take several years, during which negative symptoms can arise.
Hot flushes are the most common symptom of the menopause, occurring in three in every four menopausal women.
Other common symptoms include night sweats, sleeplessness, vaginal dryness, irritated skin, more frequent urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections, low mood and a reduced interest in sex. Symptoms vary hugely in duration, severity and what impact they have on women.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here Are My Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating World Menopause Day;
Some women experience increased anxiety during the menopause. Regular exercise helps to convert stress into positive energy.
Talk to your doctor about health screening tests such as bone density, heart health, and depression to minimize the impact of menopause.
Some women breeze through a problem-free menopause, but most experience some symptoms ranging from mild to severe. If you feel that you are struggling, consult your doctor for advice. Whatever the symptoms, help is available in a range of ways.

Monday Oct 17, 2022
Are bosses who are fair, supportive, and kind gone by the way of the dodo bird?
If we were to listen to the media, or the complaints from friends and family, you would think that this was true.
We hear about cut-throat bosses. Bosses who are bullies. The ones who steal all of the glory for themselves.
There are bosses who are perfectionists.
And then there are those bosses who only care about the bottom line.
In fact. in one survey, seventy five percent of workers said that dealing with their boss was the most stressful part of their day.
Bosses Day is the day for employees to recognize their boss for their positive traits.
Like it or not your boss plays an important role in your productivity, creativity, and overall health.
It is up to you to build the best relationship with your boss that you can.

Here Are Today’s Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Bosses Day:

Have conversations that move things forward.
And finally, don't be moody and don't let your boss’ mood impact you. You have no idea what they are dealing with. So reserve your judgments. Be the one that is in control of their mood.

But you look so good!
96% of illnesses are invisible. These people do not use a cane or any assistive device and may look perfectly healthy.
60% are between the ages of 18 and 64.
It's hard to know what to do when a person has an illness. It’s even harder when it's virtually invisible.

Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Invisible Chronic Illness Week
Don't be afraid to talk about what they're experiencing. Open the lines of communication and follow the other person's lead. If they want to go into details, they will. If they would rather talk about other things, they will let you know.
If you're living with an invisible chronic illness it's important to keep connected. Reach out for support. It's only by opening up about your illness that you can educate people and invite them to be there for you.
You may be surprised, but they may be dealing with their own invisible chronic illness and could really use your support, or they may become one of your biggest advocates or confidents. You won't know until you give them a chance.

All goody two-shoes, beware. You are not welcome on this day.
Today is a day for all grouches to celebrate their way of life.
According to the Muppet Wiki, a grouch’s mission in life is to be as miserable and as grouchy as possible and pass that feeling on everyone else.

TIP 1484 - Protect Yourself From The Flu
Friday Oct 14, 2022
Friday Oct 14, 2022
Children have been back to school now for a month and we're starting to see the rise of colds and other ailments, both in our children and in our workplaces.
Though these are not usually cases of influenza, it is a reminder that the true flu season is just around the corner, and that we need to protect our families and our co-workers.
Influenza is an infection of the nose throat and lungs caused by the influenza virus. For most people the flu is uncomfortable, tiring, and can keep you bedridden for many days.
But for some, the flu can be serious.
Each year the flu causes many unnecessary deaths. The most common way the flu is spread is through flu germs on people's hands. If you touch something with the flu germs on it, then touch your face or mouth, you could get infected.
Flu germs can also travel through the air. If a person with the flu sneezes, or coughs, their spray can carry the virus to your nose, mouth, and our eyes.

Today's Tip For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Flu Prevention Month:

Thursday Oct 13, 2022
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.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So Here Are Today’s 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.

Squeaky doors. Slow internet connections. No subject heading in an email message. Cracking knuckles. Toilet lid being left up. Being put on hold. Music while on hold. Repeated messages while on hold.
Some of our pet peeves can move from simple annoyances into being rude or aggressive.
Think of road rage. It usually starts because one person was not paying attention or assumed that they had the right to do what they did, and then the offended party gets annoyed, then angry, and they may even retaliate.

According to research, one in five will experience a diagnosable mental illness.
Mental illness can affect anybody. Stigma and guilt play a role in preventing people from seeking help.
Only one in every three with a mental health issue will seek help, leaving millions trying to cope all on their own. Though some may be seeking medical help, fear of being criticized, or judged by those around them, may prevent them from reaching out to others for support.

TIP 1479 - Emotional Intelligence and Coping Skills
Sunday Oct 09, 2022
Sunday Oct 09, 2022
It is so much easier to teach our children the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic then it is to develop and maintain a positive mental health and to build positive, healthy relationships.
Bully, harassment, disciplinary issues, and conflict often occur because we have not been taught how or have not worked at our own Emotional Intelligence.
It starts with the basics: No emotion is ‘wrong’, but there are ways of acting out or expressing those emotions that are inappropriate.
So what is EI and how is it different from well-being, and emotional health. Well-being is your emotional state at any given moment. Are you sad, mad, happy?.
Emotional health is a set of malleable skills, habits, and beliefs which impact on our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Developing your emotional health helps you to manage the ups and downs of day-to-day life and build positive relationships. Emotional health relies on the skills of Emotional Intelligence and how they are used in the person’s current environment and interactions.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Today’s Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Emotional Intelligence Month:
Focus in and develop the 5 components to Emotional Intelligence to help you manage the day-to-day challenges that you are facing.
Self-Awareness is all about recognizing your moods and emotional drivers. It is about building self-confidence, not taking yourself too seriously and being realistic about who you are.
Self-Regulation is the ability to control your impulses, suspend judgment and to think before you act. Are you open to change, comfortable with the unknown and trustworthy?
Are you focused on Internal Motivation? This is motivation that goes beyond money and title. It is doing something for pure joy, curiosity, and with a sense of optimism and hope.
Exercise your Empathy muscle. Emotional Intelligence is not only about self-awareness, but an awareness of the emotional state of others. Can you easily recognize facial expressions and language cues and read them appropriately?
And finally develop your Social Skills. This is the ability to take this empathy and build positive relationships and manage conflict effectively.

True friends are precious, but often we take them for granted.
The saying goes that you can't have too many friends. I disagree. Trying to balance too many friendships, plus a lack of time, equals more stress.
Friendships can protect your health, so it's important to take the time and make the effort to hold on to the friendships that mean the most to us.
We need to let them know how much they matter to us.

Over the years, I've had many friendships that have endured the test of time. It takes a great deal of effort for us to get together, but when we do, the energy that I gain from those connections is invaluable.

Do you think the people have always been this stressed?
I'm often asked if we have more or less stress than we did a hundred or two hundred years ago. Our lives are stressful today, but they were way back then as well.
One of the things that helped people to cope was a sense of support. Back then we lived in smaller communities, had families around us, and we knew our neighbors.
Today we live in large communities, our families may live hours or continents away, and we have no idea who lives around us.
Our support circles have grown smaller and smaller.

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.
