MH23-06. Greg Hammer’s Resolution to Improve Mental Well Beingness

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Greg Hammer MD, on air from February 7th

  • Why do you think the #1 resolution for 2023 is to improve mental health and well-being?
  • People are experiencing a prolonged period of chronic stress that’s unprecedented in their lifetimes.  The pandemic, global food shortages, climate uncertainty, and the war in Ukraine and ongoing threats of war all contribute to this stress.
  • Many people feel like they weren’t able to prioritize their mental health while focusing on their physical health during the pandemic.
  • Gen Z is driving the push towards prioritizing mental and emotional well-being.  They’re realizing that health is a holistic pursuit that includes the mind as well as the body.
  • What is it about winter that makes us feel more prone to anxiety, depression, and burnout?
  • Decreased sunlight lowers our vitamin D levels which can lower serotonin and can cause feelings of depression.
  • Staying indoors can also feel isolating, which can contribute to anxiety and depression.
  • “Winter Burnout” is the physical and emotional exhaustion that is caused by chronic stress over a prolonged period of time.  Over time, the above two issues and other stressors can contribute to feelings of burnout.
  • Many people struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, and burnout during the winter.  What is the first thing that you would recommend they do?  
  • Sleep, exercise, and nutrition form the tripod that supports our physical and emotional wellbeing. Chronic stress causes a deterioration in all of these, but improving even just one leg of this tripod can begin a new trend towards overall wellness.
  • Weather permitting, get outside to increase your vitamin D levels.  Even a short walk will help.
  • Winter is an especially difficult time for mental health so practice Nonjudgment to limit self-blame and be Intentional about finding 3 minutes a day to prioritize your well-being.
  • How does just 3 minutes a day improve negative thoughts and rewire our brain?
  • The key is daily practice over time.  When you start the day by focusing on the 4 pillars of GAIN, you’ll begin to recall them in daily life and in various situations.
  • For example, you might have a difficult commute and start to get upset with other drivers.  But then you’ll remember that you promised to Intentionally choose Nonjudgment and Accept those around you and your current circumstances.  You can even be Grateful that you have a place to go and are healthy enough to travel!
  • What are the 4 pillars of the GAIN Method and how is it used in a 3-minute meditation? 
  • (Take a few deep, calming breaths before you begin)
  • G: Breathe in the Gratitude for the richness in our lives, our loved ones, and even simply being alive this day.
  • A: Accept the painful experiences we cannot change. Open our hearts and bring this pain closer and closer until we merge with it until there is no separation. We often find that the pain is less than we thought.
  • I: Use our Intention to re-wire our brains away from our negative bias and obsession with the past and future. Practice being present, which is where happiness lives.
  • N: Become more Nonjudgmental. The world around us does not have to be labeled as good or bad. This goes for the people around us and even ourselves. Dropping self-judgment is difficult, but we can learn to do this through daily practice with small, baby steps.

23-06. Resistance is futile in 2023 Actionism it.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from February 7th

It is our human nature to fight back, we have a knee-jerk reaction to things and we like to be argumentative and be right. This, unfortunately, gets us nowhere, so why don’t we try a different approach in 2023?

We know we are still in this pandemic and all its variants; we know we are in transition in our personal lives, mental health, wellness, financial security, in industries, and in our global economics. So fighting against it is futile. This is the time to ask ourselves what we are going to do about it, what we have learned, and how we are going to seed opportunities for 2023.

Everything, even disasters have a reason, some times it is to change our direction, sometimes a lesson about ourselves we need to learn, but it is always about us having the ability to make the changes we need to move forward and not drag ourselves down by what has been.

2020, 2021, just survival, 2022, coming out of the fog, and all of it was a time of reflection, a time to review our lives and go into ourselves and feel what we want for our future. A time to step up and be counted in heart and kindness and help each other on this windy, rocky path. We have so much to be grateful for, but when in fear, doubt, and hysteria, we can not see the gifts before us.

2023 is a year of nurturing those seeds you planted, watering them, and allowing them to grow. It is a time to allow and open up to change and when you come from the heart space, your mind sees things differently and you feel more enriched by what is possible and what is growing within and around you.

This transformation of humanity still has about 2-3 more years to grow out off. If we come together and stop fighting each other, and start listening to the inner voice, we will see how we can make the changes and why we need to, for if we do not, this planet and the source of universal energy will change it for us and it will be a harder ride than even 2024.

So let us rise up to the occasion and be the change the world needs, be the strength and solution we need in our own lives. FOR IF NOT YOU, WHO? We can not wait for others to do it for us anymore; we must be proactive in our own lives and in our community in order to thrive and rise up to greater heights.

BE KIND, CARE, SHARE AND STEP UP TO A HIGHER VIBRATION.

RGC23-05. Norma Jean Maxwell, Help Your Child to Flourish.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara troy and her guest Norma Jean Maxwell, on air from January 31st

After working in the public school system over the last 2 decades, I watched the slow decline and clawing back of resources for those kids that don’t learn well in a classroom setting.  I watched the schools fade out and move away from teaching basic foundation literacy and math skills into a more politicized agenda and I watched more and more bright children fall through the cracks – getting to high school, still unable to read and do basic math.

It’s heartbreaking to me when I see a child, who could be very successful, fail to fulfill their potential because they are not being taught in a way that makes sense to them.  After many years of successfully supporting and teaching these kids and being unable to find a program that incorporates all the components needed for early literacy, I decided to create  my own based on my training and many years of successes with children.

Every child can learn and if they aren’t, we need to look to the teacher to find out why not!

I am the MOM of two grown young men who both had learning challenges and struggled in the current school system.  They were the square pegs that didn’t quite fit in the round holes.  I also have a brother who has dyslexia and I saw how his negative school experience left lasting scars (additions, being the tough guy to compensate for feeling stupid).

I worked in the Surrey public school system for 18 years in special Ed, until I retired a couple years ago… mostly out of frustration over the current system’s failures

I am a trained Orton Gillingham Therapeutic Tutor which means I am a reading & spelling specialist and I’m a Behaviour Interventionist with extension experience working with kids on the spectrum.  

And after watching my own kids’ struggles and also seeing all the kids, bright kids, that are falling through the cracks because they are not getting the support they need and deserve, I developed my own teaching model based on my Orton Gillingham training and my personal experience.  It is a multi-sensory, fun & playful approach that works for all kids and keeps them engaged

I have a lot of success stories under my belt and it’s because I’ve seen how effective my methods are that I created Time to Shine Teaching, the training and the resources that will help best support a child’s learning.

I have watched with amazement as a child flourishes with the right instruction and support… I have lots of stories…

I also strongly disagreed with the CV protocols that the schools implemented and I think we won’t know all the lasting implications for many years…  teachers and kids wearing masks limited the children’s exposure to proper language and social/emotional development.  I also think we instilled too  much fear in our children (of others, of themselves…)

My avatar is really homeschool parents (and public school parents) who recognize that the school system is failing our kids and who are looking for a better way to teach their children.

FREE GIVEAWAY: Landing page for free Letter pack #1

I am creating my Time to Shine Level I Phonics course.  It is a very comprehensive course that provides everything a teacher/parent would need to teach reading, spelling & printing.  Not only is it scripted to support the educator/parent while they learn the system, but it also includes a video tutorial that show exactly how to conduct the lesson for each letter.  This letter pack includes all the downloadable materials & videos needed to teach the first 5 letters I teach.  Note:  I do not teach in alphabetical but rather in an order that allows the child to start reading, spelling and printing in 2-3 letters!
