Work-well tip for the Week

Cruise to work; enjoy the ride...

Why not use your road-time to your best advantage--it may be the only alone time you get all day.

Try these tips:

• Relax your grip on the wheel--it's not going anyplace.
• Disengage your jaw, placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
• Listen to music that makes you happy.
• Listen to books on tape--something uplifting or humorous.
• Do a few shoulder rolls when you're stopped in traffic.
• Breathe deeply and smoothly.
• Smooth your brow.
• Think of a way to make someone smile today--maybe you could even let someone in traffic.
• Tell yourself that you are happy today and plan to stay that way.

R&R for Travelers

Fold-up stool takes the pressure off

Do you have sciatic pain when you travel?

Recently a friend/client of mine shared her new travel stool which she found in the Travel section of Joseph Beth. Simply putting her feet on it when she is the passenger in a car or plane, takes the pressure off of the gluteal muscles which often compresses the sciatic nerve.

She also uses a small pillow to relieve her neck.
