Morning, sleepy! If you didn’t sleep well last night because your mind kept running in circles, do this tonight: Count backwards by threes. So 100, 97, 94, 91, 88. etc. Why does that work? Because it distracts your thinking. It forces you to concentrate on something non-emotional that’ll sidetrack anxious thoughts and a racing mind. It’s also hard and boring which’ll put you right to sleep. That trick comes from sleep therapist Dr. Michael Breus, author of the book “Good Night.” And you can bet after a good night of rest, you will be ready for more you can share from The John Tesh Radio Show!
A vegetable that can make us feel less anxious? It’s true, and it’s a cucumber! That’s according to neurologist Dr. Alan Hirsch. In studies, the scent of cucumber was so effective at relieving anxiety, it even helped people suffering from claustrophobia! Dr. Hirsch says the scent changes a person’s perception of space - making places feel more expansive. And it works so well, some hospitals use cucumber oil to calm patients before MRI scans! It’s exciting to think about the possibilities beyond an upcoming MRI for which this piece of intelligence can be applied, and sure to be of interest to your friends, so be sure to share this today from The John Tesh Radio Show!
Want to look more confident? Keep your hands out of your pockets!Body language experts say that we put our hands in our pockets when we’re nervous, uncomfortable or unsure of ourselves. And that’s the impression others get, too. But keeping your hands out in the open indicates confidence and shows people you have nothing to hide. Also, putting your hands in your pockets encourages slouching. An alternative? Put your hands on your hips. It’s a much more confident posture. There may be a “business” break over this past weekend, but get your friends to hit the ground running back at work today, with what you learned from The John Tesh Radio Show!
