Get Healthy Now with Denise Thomson, Always Prepare For Road Trip, Avoid Stress

Good morning and welcome to Get Healthy Now with Denise Thomson, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Nurse, Fitness Trainer, Educator, Best Selling Author and Speaker.

Yesterday I experienced the unexpected on my weekly road trip. It usually takes me about 2 hours, yesterday 6.5 hours. What was so different?

Accident on HWY where the 215 N and S separate. 30 + minute delay.

13 miles from my house in Big Bear, complete stop. Once in a while a car turned around on 330 to go down the mountain again, so we moved forward about 10 - 15 feet. After 30 min I called Cal Trans for info - only automated responses - text them - no response, then the young lady in front of me was able to find out what happened, turned around, rolled down her window and told me. I turned around and followed her. Quick restroom stop on the way down, called Cal Trans, received directions: Highland, 215 to 15 to Hesperia, Lucerne, Victorville, up the back side. Flooding, dirt slides, backhoe, heavy rain,.. made it safely. HWY 38 through Angeles Oaks was still closed according to Cal Trans b/c of fires last week.

I always have healthy snacks and a 40 oz bottle with water and ice, so never got hungry. Hesperia stop for a cup of coffee and restroom.

Remained calm, focused, had what I needed, no time constraint, informed loved ones of delay, drove safely. Never talked or text while driving!

Rock and dirt slides closed off 330 for a few hours. Always be prepared, have plan B, C, D in place. Was so gratful when I arrived that I was safe. Didn't feel stressed out, didn't worry, took my own advice from my Stress Reduction Book.

Go to Amazon.com, put in Author's name: Denise Thomson, title will show up. Choice 1: Kindle Version, Choice 2, paperback. Sorry, it did not take the link for you to click on.

Until next week, be happy, healthy and empowered.
