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.

    TIP 2970 – Drowsy Driving Kills

    Listen to today's podcast... Some days I am so tired that I can’t think straight or even focus my eyes. This is an awful feeling, especially if this fatigue hits while I am driving. Has this ever happened to you? Over 60% of adults say they have driven drowsy in the past year. And 4% have had an accident or near accident because they were too tired, or they actually dozed off while driving. Drowsy Driving kills Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here Are Today’s Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating National Drowsy Driving Prevention Week: 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 2969 – How Meditation Can Mend The Mind

    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. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?

    TIP 2968 – Relaxation By Pausing By The Camp Fire

    Listen to today's podcast... 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. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are todays Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Firewood Day: With the busyness that we experience all day long, it is important for our mental health to find ways to stop, pause and slow down. A campfire, or sitting by the fireplace is a great way to pause and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. #mentalhealth #hr

    TIP 2967 - Why Is Common Sense Not So Common?

    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. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?

    TIP 2966 – Why Shutting Down Gossip Is Healthy For You

    Listen to today's podcast... Most of us do it and some of us even started. It is frowned upon publicly, but privately, it is often indulged in. If you're a professional gossiper, then you can make money through publishing it in magazine and newspaper columns or even through your own talk show. However, in some places around the world it is seen as downright criminal. Workplace gossip can destroy. Gossip is thought to empower one person while disempowering another, accordingly many companies have formal policies in their employee handbook against gossip. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are Today's Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating And Gossip Day: 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.

    TIP 2965 – How To Go From Multi-tasking to Zerotasking

    Listen to today's podcast... Sometimes when we try to multi-task, we may actually freeze up, lock up, or quit performing at our peak. There is so much pressure to get things done in a day, that we try to split our focus and work on several things at once.  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, often double or more the time, and are predisposed to error.   Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here Are My Tips For Building Resilience and Celebrating ZeroTasking Day: Today is the day to take it easy, give up multitasking, and try doing nothing. Not for the whole day. But try for an hour. And if that is too long, try 20 minutes. See how you feel and if being anxious was the only thing that you could focus on, know that being able to be still for a moment and quiet your mind and body takes practise. If you weren’t successful, try again next weekend. Finally, let go of the idea that the more we tackle at any given time, the more productive we will be. Maintain your productivity by setting your priorities for a focused period of time and don’t let distractions take you off course.  If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know.
