    About this ebook

    It's not a rehash of the causes of stress, or boilerplate platitudes that you may have read elsewhere. It's an honest, in-depth piece of work that could significantly alter how you approach life.

    In this book you will learn how to relieve stress, employ relaxation techniques, learn how to deal with anxiety -- even use the techniques for anger management.

    There are many books on stress management, but few go into such useful detail on the subject. When you master these Ten Steps, you will have gone a long way toward relieving the anxiety that may now be your constant companion.

    It's a short book by design. I wanted to provide some immediate relaxation techniques and help people -- just like you -- deal with stress -- right here, right now.

    Here's what you'll learn in this book:

    The secret to living one day at a time
    Five proven relaxation techniques that really work
    How to let go of failed relationships
    Time management: organization is your friend
    Abandoning expectations that can cripple your daily happiness
    Adopting a unique spiritual outlook to begin living in the Now
    How to make your faith work for you day to day
    How to take advantage of medications that could change your life
    Making a daily -- or weekly -- routine work for you
    The keys to resolving problems with coworkers, family and friends

    These are topics that many of us face in our daily lives.

    Interest? Download a sample to see my conversational, easygoing style, and then download the entire book to put these practices to work for you immediately!

      Foreword

      This book is a non-traditional look at various ways of coping with the stress that afflicts so many people in their day-to-day lives. It offers ten techniques or steps to lowering the amount of stress in your life, and is written in an easy-to-read format that draws from the author's own triumphs over stress and worry.

      It's not a rehash of the causes of stress, or boilerplate platitudes that you may have read elsewhere. It's an honest, practical piece of work that could significantly alter how you approach life.

      Dedication

      I owe a tremendous debt of thanks for my own current stress-free condition to my wonderful wife Linda, who now works a long day teaching school, takes care of me in my disabled state, pays the bills, mows the lawn, and keeps our household running smoothly day to day (among many other responsibilities). It is to her that this book is dedicated. She is my hero and already adept at utilizing several of the techniques outlined in these pages.

      Introduction

      I'm not a Ph.D.

      I'm not a highly acclaimed expert on the subject of stress reduction.

      This is not a scholarly tome on how to lower your blood pressure through self-actualization, although I truly believe that if you'll follow the simple steps outlined in this book, you'll begin to feel a significant difference in your day-to-day stress level.

      What makes me think I have something useful to say on the subject?

      I'm a former marketing executive who coped with crippling stress every day for the better part of forty years before finally learning—mainly through experience and my own research—the techniques and tips you'll find in these pages.

      In my later years, I also became afflicted with a deteriorating spinal cord condition and had to learn quickly how to relieve the tremendous anxiety that accompanied the news that I'd probably never walk again without help or a wheelchair.

      I learned how to survive—and thrive—despite overwhelming odds in my life. You can, too.

      Here's what you'll learn in this book:

      • The secret to living one day at a time

      • Five proven relaxation techniques that really work

      • How to let go of failed relationships

      • Time management: organization is your friend

      • Abandoning expectations that can cripple your daily happiness
