Radio Update... Tuesday March 4, 2009

Glenn Meyer  103.9 WRCN (video feed not yet available)

Gentle Readers,

Glenn had a rough week and succumbed to smoking not once, but twice.  He was prepared to be violently scolded.  Coaching doesn't work that way.  Coaching encourages the progress you do make while we look at the challenges that you faced during the week.  We then discuss a plan to handle those challenges.

Glenn is serious about changing his life style.  I believe that he needs more encouragement.  I think if he knows that there are others out here pulling for him he will feel more accountable.  Won't you please e-mail him to show your support? morningshow@wrcn.com or you can call the show between 5AM to 9AM EST on Tuesday March 11, 2008.  Our next meeting will be around 6:05AM EST on that day.

Unfortunately Glenn did not do his homework for the week so he was unprepared our meeting.  We did however uncover that one the most difficult time he has is while he is driving.
 
Here is his assignment for the upcoming week
 
1.  Call the Coach.  Coaching doesn't take long, but it does take a little longer then 6min on the air.
2. Breath!  It may sound very simple, but deep breathing helps alleviate stress.  It also increases oxygen flow which aids in brain function there by helping you think more clearly.  I can teach you when we chat.
3.  Consider alternate routes or travel times.  Can you make your trip when the roads are less busy?  Are there other routes you can take to avoid traffic?
4.    Can you accept where you are?   Chances are when you are in this situation you are experience angst because you want to be somewhere else.  Are there things you can do to help you make your current situation more acceptable, or even more enjoyable?
 
Let's all wish Glenn success.  He has a beautiful family and we want him to be around for a long time to come.

I just sent an encouraging and supporting mail to Glenn's e-mail addy.... I hope it will encourage him and show him that people care.
I think it is great what you are doing and I envy Glenn for knowing you personally.
Good luck to the both of you.... you, for coaching him and him, for beating his habit.
Hugs, Maria

I will email Glen tonight and give him some encouragement.  It also helps to know that people are behind you and following your progress (makes you want to succeed more).  Keep at him Rosemary.  It's a matter of life and breath...
Hugs, Joyce

I would imagine with anything we try to change, it will take Glenn several weeks to make the changes you are suggesting, which are all great changes; I think he's doing great, though, with determination to succeed and quit smoking; I have to remember that simple thing of taking a deep breath when I feel stressed
