    TIP 2718 – Why Connectedness Matters So Much

    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’.

    TIP 2715 – Appreciate The Silence To Boost Your Health

    Listen to today's podcast... “The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.”  Anne Frank Studies show that even low-level chronic noise increases aggression and decreases cooperation and is associated with increased risk for peptic ulcers, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Today is the day to lower the noise level. Being quiet reduces your stress. It allows the mind to focus and be more creative. It can boost your immune system. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Building Resiliency and Celebrating Quiet Day: Breathe: Become aware of your breath and inhale and exhale slowly and deeply inhale for 5 minutes. Try this meditation: Turn off the lights, light a small candle and watch the flame. This stills the optic nerve, and calms the nervous system. At work, take advantage of a quiet room.  Many companies have developed quiet spaces where employees can take a moment or two during the working day to relax, have a break, meditate, pray or simply ‘take stock’ without the distractions and interruptions of office life. Get out into nature:  Taking a walk along a park path or country road early in the morning or before bed can bring focus and serenity to one’s mind.  Looking for resources to build your resiliency?

    TIP 2713 – How Single Tasking Keeps You Productive

    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.   Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      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  Looking for more ways to build your resiliency?

    TIP 2711 – How Not To Let Time Control You

    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.
