Stress Relief for the High Achiever

I wrote a short book called Stress Relief for the High Achiever: Tips and Tactics You Can Put Into Action Today.

It is actually a rather good little book. It is a quick and easy read with lots practical ideas for dealing with stress and even some encouragement to do so. The book includes through carefully selected quotes, wisdom and whimsy about stress and stress relief, from cultural icons bridging several centuries.

The foreword was written by my friend and former personal physician, Rhea Cole, MD. In it she says that stress is the root cause of most of the illness she encounters daily in her practice as a board certified family physician. She also says that my book is one of the best compilations of tips and practical advice for dealing with stress that she has seen--anywhere.

I like that praise.

My book is a digital book. It was professionally designed by Kate Carepenter. It features a favorite painting by Jeff Hughart from my personal art collection. And it is dedicated to my siblings, including a sister who was once my daughter.

Stress Relief for the High Achiever: 75 Tips and Tactics You Can Put Into Action Today is available for free download on the New Media International website. It is also now available in EPUB format to permit you to install it and read it on your IPad.

I invite you to make it your own. Download it and read it. And let me know what you think.

I Just Posted a Banner with My Affiliate Link!

I am so unaccustomed to doing this sort of thing, and it is probably of no moment since this blog is largely for SEO experiments and has the tiniest audience imaginable--I have posted a banner in the sidebar with an affiliate link.

It is for Teleseminar Secrets, classic teleseminar training by one of the true experts in the genre. The course has become evergreen and is delivered digitally instead of conducted live. It is expensive, but it is worth every penny. In the course, Alex Mandossian shares the expertise he has developed by conducting thousands of teleseminars and teaching his methods to subject matter experts in every field.

Here are two offers. If you are at all interested in taking the course, let's set up a time to talk and I will tell you about my own experience with the course. And, if you decide to purchase the course through my affiliate link, I will help you get started with teleseminars--even help you produce your first one using my tools.

Thousands of professionals have taken this course and, like me, credit Alex with providing us with an enormous and highly valuable knowledge base.

So check out the Teleseminar Secrets banner below and to the right. Click and and learn more and see whether it might be useful to you.

Dream Divorce

Kay Kay's Divorce is a comedy CD about my divorce. Producing it and putting it up for sale on ITunes satisfied my dream. My dream of having a comedy CD about my divorce for sale on ITunes. There is nothing about it that makes sense. That is the nature of my life.

In Kay Kay's Divorce I introduce the concept of divorce planning. There are reasons for this.

In the Western culture, young girls are encouraged to fantasize about their dream weddings—they are encouraged to begin early to dream up wedding extravaganzas calculated to bankrupt their families. But since a large percentage of these dream weddings actually end in divorce, shouldn’t young women also be planning their dream divorces? Shouldn't the divorce industry demand a larger role in exploiting the rank and while? More importantly, shouldn’t a divorce provide you with lasting happiness in addition to anxiety, anger and animosity? Or, at the least, shouldn't a divorce provide you with the anxiety, anger and animosity of your dreams?

Visit me at my sister blog with the same name: New Media Martini

A Story That Shall Never Be Written, Unless It Is

Yikes! Did you catch that title? With a title like that, you can certainly believe that this blog is a sister of its sister, New Media Martini.

Today on Women Are Not Funny Radio, I told my very amusing guest, Shannon Glass, that this very day, I had given some thought to writing about an onion and all of the typical developmental experiences that one might expect an onion to have. At the end of the piece, the onion that I would write about would end up, post-harvest, in the reduced price produce section for sale for twenty cents which would result in it being purchased, taken to the home of the purchaser, and being chopped up, cooked, and eaten for dinner.

As I told Shannon, after giving it some thought, I realized that there is absolutely no audience for such a piece. She disagreed, and although she didn't use the word allegory, suggested that the story was an allegory for her very own life.

Life is mysterious and difficult. Isn't it?

Every Blog Should Have a Sister!

That is what "they" say anyway. Well, they don't really say that. The family analogy is my own. Maybe I came up with it because as a member of the female persuasion, I am less inclined to talk about hubs and spokes. And perhaps since my darling little blog, New Media Martini, the other New Media Martini, doesn't make any money, it would be disingenuous to refer to it as my "money site." But this is the internet where we engage in strange behavior and nod our heads knowingly at discussion of link bait and blog farms.

Regardless, I created this blog to serve the other--its sister. The other New Media Martini blog. The real New Media Martini blog. And doing so has had an extra added benefit: the opportunity to waste a lot of time.

I don't yet know what I shall post here. It is an experiment but it mustn't become a chore!
