What a great first two weeks with my new talk radio show. If you want to start listening in go to http://www.wksc1300.com every Tuesday through Friday from noon to 1:00 eastern time. Just click on Listen to Live Radio. Pretty soon there will be recordings of the shows and I will be on other stations. I will keep you posted.
The first week I focused primarily on creating a basis. I introduced myself and wanted to make sure my listeners know I am their wellness coach. While the results may not be as good a phone coaching (because I cannot have a two-way conversation); my objective is to share coaching, nutrition, fitness and wellness tips. I want to educate and motivate. I want you to get started today with your goals. If you are too busy then your goal is to make the time or find the resources so you can get going.
I shared my definition of wellness; which is wholeness. Wellness is everything: health, finances, relationships, career, selfcare...
I talked about nutrition and the importance of providing the body with nutrients. A diet high in refined carbohydrates leaves the body starving and contributes to over eating. Plus too much sugar (yes you get sugar from breads and pasta) makes your body rely on insulin and over time can create resistance. Good foods give you energy; they don't take it. So if you want to start to feel better immediately begin to consider small changes you can make with your diet. Maybe replace one bad habit with a new good one. Did you know an apple will wake you up more than a coffee? Especially if there is sugar in the coffee.
I talked about fitness and in the upcoming weeks I will have guests on my show to share their success stories and products they like. Some will talk about nutrition as well. Both diet and exercise will help you to feel better. But think of exercise as play time. Even a 5 minute walk will improve your mood. Start small. The small successes will lead to bigger ones.
My book Four Steps to a Better Life was the topic this past Tuesday. Just remember I-C-A-N. If you want more information about my book go to http://www.gallaghersolutions.com/book.html.
Wednesday the topic of emotional eating was covered. Why we do it and also what unmet needs are. If you are eating because you are bored, lonely, or even as a way of celebrating it is possible you are over doing it. Stop and think about what you are eating and why. And most importantly don't eliminate the foods you love. There are no bad foods; just moderate. Have those cookies today and an apple tomorrow.
Thursday life balance and life style topics were covered. Many times we are suffering from over load. If you are feeling stressed out there are solutions. Consider scheduling a one-hour coaching call to figure out what those solutions are for you.
Friday my guest was Kathi Joy and she talked about Vitamin G, which is greenery. Getting outside or brining the outside in can really help you to find balance and gain clarity. If you want more information about Kathi you can go to http://www.thejoyresolution.com/. She has free videos you can watch. Check it out!
Next week I have some really great guests so listen in. Here's to a great week and Live Well!

Independence is a mindset
It’s hard to believe it’s been 6 years since we started Gallagher Solutions, Inc. That plus Gallagher Consulting, LLC makes almost 8 years of owning a business. I love what I do and enjoy the independence.
Independence is a mindset; whether you work for yourself, someone else, or are unemployed. Whatever you ‘do’ you can have an entrepreneurial spirit. I like the word entrepreneurial better than independent because for me independence suggests isolation, and I believe successful people surround themselves with other successful people.
If you’d like answer the questions below so you can begin to think about your current situation. No answer is right or wrong. After you answer the questions read on for more helpful suggestions.
1) Is your day routine and predictable? If yes, do you enjoy that?
2) Do you spend time each week with likeminded thinkers or tend to disagree with others?
3) Are you inspired by the people around you? Do you inspire others?
4) Do you tend to think of new solutions and possibilities?
5) Are you willing to try new things or would you rather stay with the status quo even if you are unhappy?
Routine
Having routine in your life can be very grounding and pleasurable. However sometimes it can lead to boredom and a lack of interest in trying new things. Monitor how you feel and if you are bored think of some fun new activities you can include. If you think you are too busy then consider what activities or tasks you can exclude.
Likeminded Thinkers
Believe it or not the likeminded thinkers are usually not our closest family or friends, because many times we are attracted to people with different personality types. Opposites do attract. However if you are looking for some motivation you may want to start a mastermind group. This would include a few individuals that share an interest of yours. You can meet weekly and talk about your goals and the progress you are making. You should hold each other accountable and provide ideas.
Inspiration
Inspiration comes from an attitude, which comes from a feeling. Engage in activities that allow you to be around inspiring individuals and for you to inspire others. Consider creative activities or get out in nature.
New Ideas
If you begin to feel stuck or dissatisfied think about your situation and how you can bring about positive change. The change does not need to be big. If you are bored there are little activities like driving a new way to work that can make a difference. If you hate cleaning the house, skip it once; or if you need to declutter the house then do it. Start reading or join a new group, club or class. Do anything you can to allow yourself to think about things differently. A new perspective can be like a breath of fresh air.
Happiness
Life can be challenging but in many cases the stress can be reduced or eliminated. In our society we have many choices, so if you are not happy examine the choices you have made. You do not need to make major life change to feel happiness. Like inspiration, happiness is an attitude that comes from a feeling. If your reality doesn’t make you happy then take time to imagine something that does make you happy. Not only will it reduce stress and the likelihood of illness and disease but it can also create possibilities for real change in your life. I heard Carolyn Myss speak a few weeks back and she said “You are entitled to nothing. Therefore everything in your life is a gift”. Be grateful for everything. People that feel gratitude are happier people.
Here's to your independence. And as my gift to my readers if you mention this posting you can receive 20% off on one month of life or business coaching. I also have a new gift for referrals so refer a client to me and I will send it to you!
