Do the Pattern Break Thing!


I recently got back vacationing in Cuba.  The experience reminded me how important pattern breaks are. In this episode, I’ll explain why we should all have pattern breaks. Even if you can’t get away for a week in the tropics, there are still plenty of ways to step back from what you’re doing, measure effectiveness and come back to work refreshed with fresh ideas. Enjoy the podcast.

If you dig what I’m doing, you’ll get plenty more tools, tips and tricks out of Do the Thing! The book has tons of ideas on how to manage stress, pain and time. Boost your energy, too!

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO GET THE BOOK AND DO THE THING.

Please remember that this podcast cannot take the place of a proper medical consultation. Don’t take medical advice from a podcast. Get regular medical checkups and see a doctor if you have pain, experience changes you can’t explain or if any pain persists. That should cover it. 🙂

Do the Stress Relief Thing!

(If the media player above does not work in your browser, click here for the direct download link from my host, Libsyn.)

In this relaunch of the All That Chazz Podcast, we’re focusing on what’s most useful to you: stress management, pain relief, boosting energy and controlling your time. This podcast is a complement to my book, Do the Thing! 

Most folks know me as a sci-fi and horror author. However, I’ve worked in injury rehabilitation and stress management as a Registered Massage Therapist for about 24 years now. You’ll find lots of tips and tricks about the connection between posture and pain, stretching, simple exercise and general life management in Do the Thing! (available at Amazon as an ebook and paperback.) I try to make all my suggestions cheap or free and always easy.

In this first episode of the podcast revamp, I’m focussing on visualization. If you need to relax, to sleep or to ease your pain, check out this episode.

Please remember that this podcast cannot take the place of a proper medical consultation. Don’t take medical advice from a podcast. Get regular medical checkups and see a doctor if you have pain, experience changes you can’t explain or if any pain persists. That should cover it. 🙂
