This Friday's check in is a little different - it's short and sweet, and recorded downtown with a bit of wind and the noise of people's activity around me. That was the point of this episode, so that's why I recorded it this way. After eighteen months of lockdown and quarantine, it's good to get back to normal a bit, even if that just means being where other people are, and taking it all in. chillthepodcast.com

Araby is the first story in a collection of short stories called Dubliners, by James Joyce. This is a poignant tale of a young boy's infatuation with a neighbour girl, and how he eventually comes to see the truth of it. Digging deeper, I believe this is a story about losing faith in the church, as Joyce often battled with himself and subsequently wrote about. Either way you look at it, its rich language and evocative descriptions will bring you back to Dublin in the 1880s. Find out more at the show website.
There's no standard ideal out there, there's no 'proper' way to relax, unwind, de-stress. We can let our comparison culture influence us into thinking we need to be embracing the zen lifestyle like everyone else, but maybe it doesn't work for you.If it doesn't, it's okay. Do what works for you. ❤️chillthepodcast.com

The Lady or the Tiger is a classic short story written by Frank R Stockton in 1882. Described as a 'whimsical tale about the dangers of choice and consequence', it remains an example of an unsolveable problem - at least to some people. I know which door I would choose...do you?Here's the full text of the story if you're interested - but read it later, after you've had a good night's sleep
Time for another Friday Check In.Sometimes people put a lot of focus on each day they experience, much the way people who are trying to eat better sometimes focus on how many calories they had that particular day - and if the answer isn't what they hoped for, in both cases, it can depress them and make them lose motivation. I'm going to suggest that if you are prone to assessing each day in terms of how well it went, or how well you did at something like calorie counting or quitting smoking or whatever else you might be trying to change, you might want to broaden your focus a bit. Instead of looking at each day through a microscope, try pulling back a bit and looking at the week instead, and see if that changes your perspective.

Stress isn't just a buzzword, and it's not just about not being able to cope. It's a very real problem for most of us, and can lead to a lot of serious illnesses. This week, take a few deep breaths with me, and do a quick body scan to see if there are any areas of your body where you carry stress. I also talk about the wonders of massage therapy as a way of unwinding.
This beautiful script was written in 2017 by PadandPencil, but the images, thoughts and feelings within it are more relevant today than ever.

Time for another check in...Take some deep breaths with me, and reflect on the past week. See if there were any small moments of simple pleasure that made that day a good one.

So how have you been doing this past week? Whether it was a good week, a bad week, or a so-so week, how have you been taking care of yourself this week? Have you made time for yourself, even if it's only a few minutes? Have you taken the time to do something you enjoy? Think about this today, and throughout this next week. Have you enjoyed laughter? Have you taken deep breaths? Have you gotten enough rest? Maybe there's something else you know you want to do for yourself, something that would make you feel wonderful - ask yourself if you've done it this week, and how you plan to keep finding the time and motivation to do it. It's important. I also want to share with you a story about a woman who overcame depression, hypochondria, panic attacks and a host of other issues by becoming an EMT.Here's more information on dopamine, for those who are interested. Here are the links to the book and movie I mentioned (I am an Amazon affiliate and get a small commission from them through this link)Ambulance Girl (the book)Ambulance Girl (the movie)take care, and have a good weekxoxEve

This week I wanted to talk about making sure you have a reset button. A reset button, or a kill switch, or a stop sign, or whatever you choose to call it, is necessary for training your mind to stop all the negative self talk that goes on. I don't even need to ask if you find yourself thinking negative thoughts about yourself, criticizing yourself, cringing at past mistakes or basically putting yourself down - I know you do. I do, we all do, it's an unfortunate reality for most people, and it's really, really harmful.A reset button is a phrase, or sometimes a physical action, that you use whenever you find yourself going down the familiar path of self-criticism or doom and gloom thinking. It can be simple, like just the word “stop”, or repeating “cancel, cancel”, or it can be a phrase you develop that is meaningful to you, something like “It won't be like this forever”, “This too shall pass”, “I'm doing the best I can”, “I don't need criticism right now” or anything that makes sense to you. Some people wear an elastic band around their wrist, and whenever they start the negative dialogue, they snap the elastic band so it stings their wrist a little and shakes them, physically, out of that headspace. Some people snap their fingers, which is obviously less painful. Whatever works for you, figure out something you can say or do that would stop the negativity. Enjoy your week! Be good to yourself, you're worth it. ❤️
Laughter is so good for our overall health, especially when we don't have much to laugh about. These softly-spoken audios will help you relax and sleep, or just take a much needed break.In this first episode of the series, I read How to Live to Be 200 from the collection Literary Lapses by Stephen Leacock (published 1910, now in the public domain.)Stephen Leacock ( 1869 - 1944) was a beloved Canadian humourist who wrote short stories and vignettes, often set in Mariposa, an imaginary small town thought to refer to Orillia, Ontario. Jack Benny and Groucho Marx both named Leacock as an influence on their comedy.You can read more of Leacock's work at the Gutenberg ProjectPlease visit the show website for more.
This week, I want to remind you how amazing laughter is, and how important it is to laugh, a lot, and often!Laughter is remarkably good for your health. They've done studies on this, laughing actually lowers stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, it gives a whole bunch of muscles a workout, all over your body. Have you ever laughed so much your knees hurt? Laughter can exercise your legs, your abs, your face, your back, everything. You bring in more oxygen when you laugh, which is always a good thing, and laughing a lot can actually boost your immune system. Antibodies increase in people who laugh a lot, as do another kind of disease fighting cell, called T-cells. It lowers your blood pressure, it increases our production of feel good hormones called endorphins, so it can even ease pain, anxiety and tension. And believe it or not, it can make you think better too - it's been shown in studies to increase memory and help you retain facts more easily. So if you have to study for a test, connect your learning with some comedy and you'll probably get a better grade.And here's that clip from Zoolander! Visit the Chill The Podcast's website
Sometimes we all need a little reminder to love ourselves as much as we love other people - to be as forgiving, as patient, and as unconditionally loving to ourselves as we are to those we love.
