My new talk radio show

Starting Tuesday 5/11/10 I will be on WKSC1300 AM and www.sportsbeatradio.com from 9-10 am pacific time (noon eastern time). The show will be called Jenny Gallagher Your Wellness Coach and I will provide information and motivation to get you going on your path to wellness. The show will be on every Tuesday through Friday and I hope you can join us.

Wellness is an overall sense of wellbeing and a big part of wellness is a healthy mind and body.

To have a healthy mind you must learn how to relax and how to focus on positive thoughts. There is scientific proof that positive thoughts improve health and can even have miraculous healing qualities.

To have a healthy body you must take care of it. This includes a healthy diet and exercise but neither need to be 'hard'. The show will share ideas so you can connect with feeling good about your choices; of which there are many. Other factors things like your environment, which includes decluttering, and getting plenty of rest.

For every excuse you have there is someone out there to prove you wrong. You may think you are too busy or don't have enough money but trust me -- there are people out there busier and poorer that are doing it. The show will share these inspiring stories as well.

If you ever want to be a guest on my show please let me know. We'll schedule some time to talk about your topic and see if it is a good fit.

Just don't give up. Let's enjoy life and create wellbeing.

Desk Yoga

Here are some easy things almost anyone can do to feel less stressed out and healthier.

Eye Strain: If you look at things close-up (e.g., books, computer screen, crafts) you may want to take some time to do this. First find something far away to focus on. Maybe look out a window and focus on a tree or building that is far off. Then to work the eye muscles look up for a few breaths, then imagine you are the hands of a clock and move to each number. This will work the eye muscles and help to restore balance.

Stress Reduction: If you are worrying about something that actually is not happening at that moment then take time to shift your thoughts to something more calming. Imagine a sunset or looking at a beautiful flower.

Breath! Most of us stay with a shallow breath all day. Rodney Yee is a famous yoga teacher and he states that the body interprets a shallow breath as a gasp. Enjoy a moment or two of long, gentle breathing. You will instantly feel better.

Ground: When you are worrying or have a tight deadline at work take time to focus on your feet connecting to the ground. Settle in and be still for a few moments.

Move: Lift your arms over head, swing your arms side to side for a gentle and fun twist, move through your ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists and neck. Round and then arch your spine. Wiggle your fingers and toes. If you want more specifics please post a comment and I would be happy to provide more details.

Easy? Great! Too easy and want more? Let me know. Namaste.
