Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Listen to today's podcast...
The longer someone is bullied, the more likely they are to develop physical, emotional, and psychological scars that can last a lifetime.
The four most common types of bullying are: Verbal, Social, Physical and Cyber Bullying.
Bullying can be devastating, leaving a person withdrawn, shy, and insecure. It can trigger a variety of stress-related illnesses, cause relationship difficulties, and upset productivity and engagement.
Unrelenting bullying can lead a person to take their own life.
A study conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute, found that 37% of workers have been bullied, and that the majority of bullies were people in positions of authority.

Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Snack Food Month:
Get good at reading. Don’t trust the claims of the food’s manufacturer on the front of the package. Judge whether a food is healthy for you by reading the ingredients and the nutrition information on the food label.
Prepare healthy snacks in advance. When you make something yourself, you get to control the ingredients. Keep plenty of fresh fruit and veggies in the refrigerator. Cut up melons or vegetables like celery and carrots in advance.
Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be boring. Make it interesting.
Go the caveman way. Try: Fresh Fruit, Salad & Vegetables. You can also add fish, eggs or meat, or dried Nuts & Fruits
Research shows that people who eat regular meals and healthy snacks are less likely to overeat and gain weight than people who skip meals or go for long periods without eating. Thinking ahead is the key to smart snacking. So…happy snacking.

TIP 1984 – Connectedness Matters
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Listen to today's podcast...
Did you know that people with few ties to others had 2 to 5 times the death rate as those who had more ties?
Support and connectedness can be a powerful tool in preventing illness by acting as a buffer to the effects of stress. We benefit from the emotional support of a community during difficult times.
Connectedness is so important to our overall well-being that workplaces are also recognizing the value of support to the success of their organization.
It is unfortunate that the busier we become, the easier it is to let our existing friendships go by the way-side, let alone develop new connections.
Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating International Friendship Week:
Look up. Smile and say hello to those around you
Try to connect with your co-workers about things other than the task at hand
Participate in social programs
Call, text, or email those friends that you have lost touch with
Connectedness and group involvement have exceptional powers in decreasing our stress, if we venture to put ourselves ‘out there’.

Building Resiliency and Celebrating Plant The Seeds Of Greatness Month:
Pay attention to what is happening around you. Take time each day to think about your life and the opportunities for growth.
Be willing to try new things, take different approaches, and experiment. Ask different questions that will create a different reality. Greatness involves failure. It involves taking calculated risks. It is about learning through the journey. You’ve got to believe that you can make the changes necessary in order to achieve greatness in your life.
The more we learn, the larger our capacity for growth becomes.
And finally, have a picture of the best version of yourself. What does greatness look like for you? How would you act towards your self? How would you act towards others? What would you have achieved? This picture my change as you grow, but striving in this direction will put you on the path to your greatness.

TIP 1981 – Keep Focused

Listen to today's podcast...
Do You Find It Hard To Stay Focused?
Have you ever had your computer lock up when you have opened too many files or programs at once?
Sometimes when we try to multi-task, we may actually freeze up, lock up or quit performing at our peak.
Researchers have studied human multi-tasking for the past 25 years or so and have found that the brain cannot fully focus when multi-tasking. We take longer to complete tasks, and are predisposed to error.
The pressure to get more and more done, and toggle between one task and another creates a great deal of stress and pressure on the mind and body. Developing the ability to focus completely on a single task can help in our energy management.

Building Resiliency and Celebrating Single Tasking Day:
Single-Tasking should be our main way of operating when needing to accomplish important tasks
Let go of the idea that the more we tackle at any given time, the more productive we are or will be
We have become like junkies in many ways, by needing a ‘fix’. We check our emails, notices and webpages out of curiosity. By setting time aside for these activities, we fill our curiosity, yet we are more likely to stay on task and complete that task more efficiently and effectively

When caring on a conversation, constructively express both negative and positive feelings and thoughts – children learn how to cope and express themselves through us

Remind the child of the number of different people that they can go to in difficult situations
Teach children the importance of developing friendships and what it means to be a ‘good’ friend to someone else

Listen to today's podcast...
We never seem to be able to find ‘the time’. Stop looking. You will never find it. It isn’t lost. You are living in it.
So what kinds of things waste our time?
44.7% of the more than 10,000 people polled cited personal internet use as their #1 distraction at work.
Today’s Time Truth:
If we fail to control the events in our life, then the events in our life will control us. Planning is key to performance. Not planning wastes time and energy.
According to one survey the average worker admits to wasting away 2.09 hours per 8-hour workday, which is twice as much time as their employers expect.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Time Management Month:
Eliminate useless meetings. Insist on short, well-planned, morning stand-up meetings. They are the least likely to waste your time and interfere with your work.
Stop thinking that you can multi-task. Prioritize and then break up your day accordingly. Don’t move on to the next task until you’ve really completed the previous one. Not only will you do a better job when you’re focused, you’ll also force yourself to finish something within the time allotted.
Come up for air. Productivity declines after a certain period, so pump up your productivity with scheduled breaks.

I like MY way, it is the RIGHT way. It is the ONLY way!
Why, because I said so. I know it is so.
You just haven’t realized it to be so.
And until you come around to my way of thinking, just do as I say, and life will be much better for all of us.
And don’t argue with me. When it is Your Way Day, I’ll do what you say, so, till then, remember it is MY Way Day!
I jest, but part of it is true. I really do want things my way. It’s all about control and I like to have control. I can be seen as a difficult person and in fact I am one of the ‘characters’ that I talk about in my workshops. When we understand what motivates others and what motivates ourselves, it is much easier to deal with the negative sides of these personalities.

Building Resiliency and Celebrating My Way Day:
Just because it is My Way Day, don’t expect that everything will go your way, because funny enough, others think it is their way day too.

I am really glad that February is the shortest month of the year, as it always seems tough to get through. I often get hit with the blahs during this time. Sometimes it is because of the busyness around me and sometimes it is weather-related. Sometimes it is both.

CEO Jeff Bezos admitted that he reads in his bathtub. He took a one-gallon Ziploc bag, and put his e-reader inside it. Book in hand…safe and sound.
An interesting way to combine two popular stress-relieving pastimes. I am not sure that I am co-ordinated enough to master this even with a Ziploc bag.
Bathtubs are the picture-perfect scene to the end of a hard day for many people. I have trouble sitting in a tub. I don’t find it very relaxing and my mind usually wanders off to what else needs to be done.
Part of the S-O-S Principle that I developed involves finding strategies that get your mind off of the stressful situation. The key is to find something that works for you.

Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Read In The Tub Day:
If you have trouble slowing down to relax, ask yourself why. Are you too caught up in what needs to be done next’ Keep the superhuman syndrome in check – we need to take time to take care of ourselves.
If the bathtub or a good book doesn't do it for you, find something else that does. Find something that changes the speed, changes your focus and helps to renew your energy.
If you are still willing to try the book and bathtub combo to relax, start with a magazine or book that doesn’t matter if it gets wet.
