Featured Guest Ivy Slater discusses: Managing Stress as a Female Lady Boss

Website: https://slatersuccess.com/

Speaking Points:

As a female lady boss, you have to learn to manage it all. You are the lead visionary, top decision-maker and the person your team relies on for support and guidance. If you show up daily at your best, with a clear head, centered and rested, stress is automatically lessened.

Put yourself first. Think about when you are on an airplane and you are instructed to put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others. That is exactly the advice to follow as you lead a team and an organization.

Great leaders have dedicated health and wellness practices in place and they don’t let anything interfere with those practices. Starting your day with a meditation practice, gratitude exercise, jog in the park or yoga at the studio with friends can impact how you react to stress throughout the rest of the day.

Be aware of your food and drink intake. Caffeine and sugar are nice for an energy boost, but too much can affect your stress management. And don’t forget the simple method of controlled breathing.

Take three deep breaths when transitioning between activities at work. Between meetings, before checking email, before a phone chat with a client, take the time to breathe, let go of any stress from the past activity and get into the moment of the work you are about to do.

When you take care of yourself, you ultimately take care of everyone else. A healthy and positive leader funnels that energy down to their team and their clients, creating a business built on joy and passion, not stress and overwhelm.

Covered on the show today include:

Entomophobia, sometimes known as insectophobia, is the fear of insects. The fear is relatively common in the US, particularly in urban areas where coming into contact with a bug is fairly unusual because of the lack of interaction with nature. Urban dwellers’ fears of insects often serve as fodder for situation comedies and reality shows that depict their sudden transition to rural or island life. Many people who have never been exposed to this life can struggle because of the prevalence and pervasiveness of insects in living areas or they become overly aware of them in public spaces.

Although they are not technically insects, the fear of spiders is the most prevalent form of entomophobia. Other commonly feared bugs include bees, ants, cockroaches and flies such as butterflies and moths. Many people fear “bugs” in general, reacting in panic to any insect or related creature that crosses their path.

Areas of Expertise

* Certified teacher of ThetaHealing – He uses this meditative
technique to dive deeper into a patient’s consciousness to change the
way they think and feel.
* Holistic Chiropractor – He loves integrating a more health infused
approach with his chiropractic work.
* Chakra balancer – Dr. Best is also a chakra balancer. He believes
in helping people rebalance their energy if their physical energy is
low and they are lacking mental clarity.

Talking Points

* For me, it’s all about connecting the mind, body and spirit
through restoring balance to the body. That usually means finding a
core belief that is stopping you from creating what you want in your life.
As an expert in muscle testing, I find and correct imbalances which
will allow the body to heal physically and mentally.
* I like to go straight to the emotional work and get at what the
underlying core beliefs are that are sabotaging what the person is
trying to create.
* Your physical, chemical, emotional and environmental factors
create stressors. And when they get out of balance, it throws
everything else off.
* If anything can be effected in your body by quantum physics, it
would be belief systems.
* The best way to bring about change is to rewire the brain.
Patients have to work on that on a daily basis. The brain is used to
going to the same thought process of thinking: ‘You’re never really
going to get that job because you’re really not that talented.’ And
it’s this repetitive thought process that gets people in that rabbit hole.
So, if you change the belief system, it makes it that much easier to
bring about lasting change instead of creating new patterns which
inevitably bring about resistance.
* Emotions are just stuck feelings where we keep thinking about
something over and over. We keep holding onto that anger or that
frustration. We often have a hard time discerning the difference
between our “gut feelings” and our “emotions.”
* You can change the direction of your life in an instant and have
fun in the process, if you want to.

Bad Dad? Half Of Fathers Have Experienced Daddy-Shaming, Poll Reveals

As families prepare to celebrate dads for all that they do, one gift no father wants to get is a heaping helping of shame. Tales of “mommy-shaming” have cropped up from time to time in the media in recent years, but according to a recent national poll, about half of all fathers say they too have been struck with slings and arrows for all manners of parenting missteps — from overdoing the discipline, to abandoning the diet, to playing too rough.

The nationally-representative poll of 713 fathers of children ages 13 and under found that nearly half of fathers receive the criticism in a positive light and make some adjustments, but others have an opposite reaction, according to the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health at the University of Michigan.

Criticism makes more than a quarter of dads feel less confident in their parenting skills and one in five feels like stepping back from the parenting role. For many fathers (43 percent), the criticism seems unfair.

Father’s Day: How Your Relationship With Your Father In Adolescence Directly Impacts Your Mental Health As An Adult

People who grow up having a strong relationship with their Father will be profoundly impacted differently than those who did not. Often times when we didn’t get something from our Fathers as a child such as unconditional love, acceptance, or even respect, we tend to seek these qualities out in others as adults.

Did you grow up having one of these Fathers? Here’s how they may have impacted your childhood & adulthood.

Funny Dad
A Father is who is constantly cracking jokes won’t be as uptight as other parents. Children who have a Dad like this can find the lighter side of gloomy situations and comfort themselves with humor well into their adulthood.

Angry Dad
This type of Father can make his kids feel disciplined, restricted, fearful, and judgmental about themselves and others. Adults of angry Fathers may have challenges in developing trusting relationships on both a personal and professional level.

Handyman / Reader
A Dad who is always fixing things around the house and regularly reading books can instill in his children a sense of early independence and appreciation for knowledge. Children of handymen / readers may develop a natural interest and passion for entrepreneurship as adults.

The Overachiever
Does Dad have tons of trophies or is he a CEO of a major corporation? Children of successful Fathers may develop great insecurity and feel inadequate because they are constantly comparing themselves. However, if this type of Dad allows his children into his world and allows them to achieve on their own, they too can become very successful.

Helicopter Dad
A Dad who overly involved in everything for their child may very well be causing that child to delay their development & maturity. Adults of helicopter Dads may have a hard time making decisions for themselves and can develop co-dependency on others.

Father Who Is An Alcoholic / Drug Abuser
This is someone who needs parenting themselves and is a poor role model for their child who needs love & guidance. Children of addicts can often develop obsessive compulsive behavior, co-dependency, and even become addicts themselves into adulthood.

You Might Be a Helicopter Parent if…

You only let your child play on playgrounds with shredded rubber mulch.
The first thing you did when your 4th grader came home crying from school because her best friend Jill called her a name is to call Jill’s mom to sort things out yourself.
You have found yourself up at 11pm rewriting your child’s English essay because you know that they could have done a better job if they hadn’t been so tired.
Your 8 year old still has the training wheels on his bike. Not that you let him ride it that often. The sidewalks are dangerous and they go too fast for you to keep up!
You have a bad back from stooping down and following your toddler’s every step.
You get heart palpitations at the thought of letting your child go on a field trip with their class.
Having them help out by preparing dinner or cleaning the house has never crossed your mind. Knives are sharp and the cleaning fluids are too dangerous!
As a Christmas gift you gave your daycare a webcam so you could watch the daily happenings while you are at work.
You and your son are having a meeting with the teacher and when she asks him a question you answer it for him.
Your child didn’t get accepted to his preferred major at college so you call the Chair of the department to negotiate for an exception.

What are the signs and symptoms of anger management problems?
Feelings of anger or violent acting out can be related to many different underlying difficulties including depression, anxiety, addictions and other mental health problems. Many individuals can have underlying difficulties with severe low self-esteem, as well as problems with mistrust. Some people may also have a history of past physical, sexual or emotional abuse. There may be many interlocking features that have led someone to develop anger management difficulties.

While it’s important that anger, amongst other emotions, doesn’t get bottled up, maintaining control over your anger is crucial to maintaining calm, and ensures that outward expressions of anger don’t negatively impact your relationships. The emotion of anger is entirely natural, and it is usual to feel angry when you’ve been mistreated or wronged. Whether these responses result in angry outbursts, comes down to how you deal with it; first and foremost, anger becomes dangerous when it causes harm to you or others. Anger management difficulties can lead to loss of a job, broken relationships and criminal convictions.
