Listen to today's podcast... Did you know that going through the drive thru naked is illegal? In 2012, a naturist was found guilty of “partial nudity that offended public order” for incidents that occurred in 2008 and 2009 as he went through a drive thru. Today is National Drive Thru Day and while it is not recommended to go through the drive thru naked, we know that many of us will go through at least one drive thru today. Eating out is no longer a special event, but a practical alternative to eating at home when no one feels like shopping or cooking.  Decisions about ‘what's for dinner?' reflect a solution to an equation that involves three variables: 1) what's on hand in the fridge, cupboard or freezer, 2) the time available to cook and eat and 3) the urgency of hunger. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Drive Thru Day: Drive thru foods are not all bad.  It is possible to make some wise choices, but it can be difficult if you don't consider the options before you are about to order. Examine your life and do a rhythm check.  Are you pushing and rushing most of the time?  If so, consider altering your drive thru behaviour slightly to allow yourself the opportunity to slow down, take your time eating, socialize and enjoy the ‘whole' meal experience.

Listen to today's podcast... There is nothing more relaxing than having a skilled massage therapist work out the tension from overly taunt neck and shoulder muscles. Massage can be an important component to promoting mental health. Stress causes the blood vessels to constrict and reduce circulation. Muscles become tense. This decreased circulation to our brain hinders our ability to focus, problem-solve and be productive. When our muscles are tense, our bodies become tight and sore. Massage can increase circulation and promote the body's relaxation response. The other benefit is that a massage can takes you out of the hectic pace and forces you to be still and to let your mind wander for a period of time. When our mind is allowed to relax it is better able to focus when we need it to after the massage.

Listen to today's podcast... Do you have stuff? I have stuff. And sometimes that stuff gets overwhelming. It seems that my stuff piles up and takes up more and more space. Regularly I go through my stuff and par it down. Some of that stuff I can give away to others who may appreciate it more. My oldest son just bought his first house and finally, I can get rid of all the stuff that I was saving for this day. I hung on to it, to help him out as he was starting out. It feels good to open up that space again and clean out the stuff that has been sitting on shelves in the basement all of these years.

Can you share your expertise? Can you donate blood? Can you buy an extra bag of groceries for someone in need? Can you reach out and make a difference in some way?

Listen to today's podcast... Moving, having children, starting a new job, quitting a comfortable job, getting married, getting divorced, buying a car, buying a house, upgrading your technology, implementing a new system…. How Do You Feel About Change? Change can be scary – it can be difficult – it can cause anxiety. So why do we have so much trouble dealing with change? Difficult saying goodbye – whether it be to a loved one or a world that has given identity, change can often mean that we lose something of value. Dislike chaotic and confusing situations in which no one seems to know the new rules. This loss in direction can lead to a fear of the unknown. Difficulty taking risk. We are creatures of habit which provides us with security, predictability, stability, and comfort. When this disappears, we become anxious and stay awake at night worrying about our choices.

Listen to today's podcast... Do you remember playing your first video game? Mine was Pong and it was New Year's Day at a friend's house. How cool was it to see the game get faster and faster and try to keep up the hand-eye co-ordination? Now the video game industry is worth $70 billion a year and there are over five million games in existence. Most of us have played at least one video game in our life. According to a National Today Survey, many of us like to play our games on our phones. The #1 reason we played was we were bored, followed by when we were watching TV, before we go to sleep and unthinkably for me…when we are on the toilet. Ick. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Video Game Day: Whether you celebrate Video Game Day this month or in September, it is not only easy, but it is also fun as well. All you have to do is to fire up your favorite video game system and have some fun with your friends or family. You can play games on a modern system or you can play one of your classics. Video games can be a great stress reliever. They help to pass away free time. They can give an adrenaline rush and you get a chance to use your imagination and problem-solving skills. Video games can be highly engrossing, but some people can become addicted to gaming.  The World Health Organization recently recognized "gaming disorder" as a mental health condition. Simply playing a lot of video games isn't enough to count as a disorder. Rather, the disorder occurs when gaming interferes with people's daily lives. So have fun gaming, but remember that this should only be one of many strategies that you use to build your resiliency and manage your stress. If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

Listen to today's podcast... Mirror, Mirror On The Wall. A fairy tale question that can be the basis for our everyday ritual.  A mirror image is a reflected duplication of an object that appears identical but reversed, but often, what we see is not just reversed but often distorted. Many women and some men spend much of their lives attempting to change their bodies. Only 4% of women globally consider themselves beautiful. A positive body image involves understanding that healthy, attractive bodies come in many shapes and sizes, and that physical appearance says very little about our character or value as a person. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Compliment Your Mirror Day: I am SO guilty of looking in the mirror and picking away at the things that are not perfect: my crooked toes and my short waist.  Not to mention my eye lids that are sagging with age and the loose skin on my arms. It is hard to look at yourself in the mirror and ignore what is not ‘ideal' and to celebrate what is unique and beautiful. We have a positive body image when we have a realistic perception of our bodies AND most of the time, we enjoy them just as they are. Learn to de-emphasize the numbers and emphasize positive self-care choices.  Stop comparing yourself to others. You're are unique. And finally, one that I am working on is setting a good example for others by refraining from “fat talk”  or “old talk” when you are with friends and family.  Think of it as the psychic equivalent of second-hand smoke.

Listen to today's podcast... How ironic that today we are to be celebrating one of the most common greetings between two people. The handshake was a gesture of peace, demonstrated by the fact that the hands held no weapons. Today, a handshake is offered upon meeting or parting. It is an expression of goodwill, gratitude and congratulations. Sometimes it is used in making a bet and confirming the bet with a handshake. There are also secret handshakes, those elaborate greetings signalling membership in a group or society. Research shows people with firmer handshakes are viewed as more positive and outgoing and less socially anxious. Do you dislike the thought of shaking another person's hand or feel that we should do away with this handshake all together especially in light of current health issues? Many people do. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating World Handshake Day: When and if we ever get back to feeling comfortable using the handshake again, remember that it should be positive, friendly, warm, and welcoming. A handshake is a way of creating and sustaining relationships. Avoid using the crushing alpha handshake or the flaccid dead fish handshake. During these current times you can replace the handshake with these acceptable greetings in addition to the popular foot tap or the elbow touch. The Namaste which is a traditional Hindu greeting, is done by bowing slightly, palms pressed together toward your chest, with your fingertips pointing up. Just like the foot tap, don't say "hello" with your hands – when you can say it with your brows. Greet your colleague with a raise brows and smile Another popular way to greet someone is by bringing your hand to your heart. Finally, you can replace the handshake with the sign language wave. Bring one hand to the top of your forehead, then flick your wrist away from your head like a small wave or with the Shaka sign which you may also know as the wave of the surfer dude.

Listen to today's podcast... Once there was a time when photography didn't exist.  A time when precious moments couldn't be captured, uploaded and shared. I look back at my baby pictures and there were only a handful. My mom and dad had a single picture each and I don't know if I have ever saw one of any of my grandparents when they were really young. Compare all of that to the albums upon albums that I have of my sons who are now young adults. Today, we don't even print all of our pictures, but save them to on-line albums or files to be viewed at any given instant. Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. Photography is a great hobby that can help us build our resiliency. It is something to take our minds off of all of our stressful life situations.

Listen to today's podcast... It has been six months since the hats, horns, bells and whistles that rang in the New Year. With all that has been going on, the commitments and promises of making changes that were destined to make us healthier, happier or more connected to the people around us, may have moved to the background of our lives. I like the quote that says, “Who you are in each moment creates your future.” This gives you the opportunity to restart and refocus each month, each day, or even each hour. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating New Year's Resolution Recommitment Day: Examine your life. What are your priorities and over-riding values? Know why you want the things you want. Too many people resolve to do things because they think that they should rather than because they feel that it is the right thing for them. Know what the benefits are of making this change or correction. What will the ‘new' picture of your life look like and feel like? Share your picture with others – post it, talk about it, find others who have a similar picture. Re-commit, don't quit. If you have lapsed for a day or two or fallen off the path completely, so what.

They also found that performance, problem solving skills, and mood are all affected by breakfast consumption. What is your approach to breakfast? Are you The Pauper, The King and The Maestro? The Pauper - These people almost always skip breakfast. They are either too busy, not hungry in the morning, or are on a diet. Or just like the pauper who was given a small piece of bread to eat, these people may eat a doughnut, or a piece of toast and wash it down with coffee or juice The King - The ‘feast' consists of a large quantity of food, including eggs, pancakes with syrup, and sausage.  Though it contains a variety of food groups, it usually is heavy on the carbs and fat and very high in calories, which can lead to obesity, heart disease and diabetes. The Maestro - Breakfast is a priority for this group, and so is conducting themselves in healthy way.  They make good choices so that they manage their energy effectively and add the right kinds of foods that promote health and longevity.

Listen to today's podcast... It's quiet. Well, almost. There is the ticking of the clock, the rattle of the furnace, the birds chirping outside of my window and my computer humming along. For some this silence is uncomfortable or we feel guilty, so we turn on the TV, though we aren't really watching. It is important in the chaos of everyday living that we take a few moments and shut out as many sounds of the world and just be. It is here that we can rest, that we can rejuvenate, that we can be creative, and we can reflect.

Listen to today's podcast... Green is the symbol for life.  Appropriately, the green ribbon is the symbol of how we can save lives. Over 4000 Canadians are awaiting a transplant and unfortunately more than 200 Canadians died last year waiting transplant.   I believe that many of us want to donate, but life gets in the way and we forget to sign our donor's card and have the discussion with our loved ones.   If you are okay with donating, take the opportunity during this awareness week to sign your card and discuss it with your family. Someone may be counting on you. Here are some things I didn't know… Living donors can provide a kidney or part of their liver as well as bone marrow.

Listen to today's podcast... Roses are red, Violets are Blue Stinky feet? Try some perfume. Fragrance Day is a celebration for the olfactory nerves in your nose. There is nothing like the scent of a good wine, a beautiful flower, the coming of spring, fresh baked cookies or a touch of perfume. The sense of smell, called olfaction, involves the detection and perception of chemicals floating in the air. The olfactory tract transmits these signals to the brain, particularly the limbic system. The limbic system is involved with emotional behavior and memory which is why when you smell something, it often brings back memories associated with the object. The connection between smell and memory happens almost immediately for us.  Baby's recognize the smell of their mother. No two people have the exact same odor-identity or “smell fingerprint” which is determined by many factors including: our genes, skin type, diet, medicine, mood state and even the weather. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are today's Tips To Celebrating Fragrance Day: Use different smells to purposefully relax you, energize you or excite you.  Citrus provides energy and lavender can help you to relax.  You can buy room fresheners, candles and even incense to add that dash of fragrance. Take a fragrance walk. Now is an excellent time to get out and notice the smells of spring such as the melting snow or the first flowers. So Happy smelling!

Snacks provide you with an extra little boost. If done right, they can help to keep energy levels going, and avoid weight gain. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      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.

Author CW Metcalfe, writes that Humour can help you thrive in change, remain creative under pressure, work more effectively, play more enthusiastically, and stay healthier in the process. It has been shown that a big old belly laugh, reduces physical and emotional tension for as long as 45 minutes. The heartier, the more relaxing it is and the longer the positive effect. A good belly laugh can stimulate your internal organs, increase your circulation, raise the level of oxygen in the blood and boost the immune system. A group of researchers found that laughing boisterously 100 times a day will give you the same impact as 10 minutes of rowing or 15 minutes on an exercise bike. Studies show that those who are able to laugh at work are more productive and less distracted than their humourless counterparts.

By defining these zones such as at meal-time, bed-time and days off, we are creating the space for rejuvenation and connection. Learn to say no. Say no to things that are outside of your priority. Say no to working late, especially if it is self-imposed. Say no to extra activities if you are feeling stretched to thin. Saying no now, does not mean that it will be a no forever. When you feel like it is a priority and you have the time to dedicate to the activity without compromising yourself, then it is okay to say yes. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?

As a leader, it is easy to forget to mention it. Most leaders wait until something goes wrong before they even think about giving employee feedback. And then it's only negative. Block out some time during the week to reflect on positive contributions your team has made over the week However, don't overdo it. If you are sending people emails every day then your positive feedback becomes diluted and meaningless. Finally, don't use phrases like "great job" or "nice work" as these are so vague as to be virtually useless. Use the opportunity to teach which of their terrific behaviours you would like to see repeated in the future. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?
