Food Management: Do the Less Normal Thing

New to the show? This one may change your life.

At the beginning of the year, my friend and I were desperate to lose weight. We were eating better but our work didn’t show on the scale. Now it does! New Plan A: If you’re looking for a diet that isn’t a fad, is sustainable and has worked for many people (compete with delicious recipes and real food, I’ll share my experience so far with The Wild Diet. I’m happy and getting slimmer. Thanks to my new nutrition plan, I’m ditching Plan B. My friend and I were just going to hang out with Sumo wrestlers to feel better about our size. Sumo, no more!

Today’s topics:

  1. You know all those things we take for granted? The hopeless wage slavery? Homelessness? High heels? You’re soaking in stress and whatever nasty fluid they use to wash our brains. Time to step back and challenge that.
  2.  Today’s hearty and filling podcast recommendation: The Fat-burning Man with Abel James (winning diet advisor on the show, My Diet is Better than Yours.)  I knew my relationship with food was changing (and quickly) when I started turning into a food snob. After just a few days on the Wild Diet, I started sneering at groceries. You might like Abel James but I bet you’ll love his nutrition plan. Food doesn’t have to be the enemy/seductress/self-medication/secret lover anymore!
  3. Water: do you drink it? Back to basics: drink water because it’s the better choice than all that other crap.

Beyond food, what about your other life management headaches?

This show is brought to you by my book, Do the Thing! I don’t cover everything in the book on the podcast. This is more of a complement to that. For a ton of ideas to improve your life and achieve a higher degree of productivity and success, go pick up Do the Thing!, available on Amazon in ebook or paperback.

Do the Art in Everything!

Welcome back to the All That Chazz Stress Relief Podcast. For anyone who is looking to decrease pain, boost energy or manage time and relieve stress, you’re in the right place.*

(If you’re listening to this at AllThatChazz.com and you can’t see the mpg player, click the Read More tab to play the show. Please subscribe to the show on iTunes and leave a happy review. That helps more listeners find us.) 

On today’s show, I talk about self-improvement and finding the art in everything. Achieving mastery is a process. It starts with presence and giving whatever you’re doing full attention. With repetition, learning and refinement, best practices can grow. Becoming a master can take years but, with attention to detail and making mistakes along the way, you will find economy of movement. You will find the way. Art is waiting for you in everything.

Today’s show is brought to you by my book, Do the Thing! I don’t cover everything in the book on the podcast. This is more of a complement to that. For a ton of ideas to improve your life and achieve a higher degree of productivity and success, go pick up Do the Thing!, available on Amazon in ebook or paperback.

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. 🙂

Writing Music & Workout Music Braingasms

(And by writing music, I mean music to write to.)

I’m on hiatus from one of my jobs and my other work is slow this week. Concentrating on publishing since I have so many manuscripts banked. I’m going to be be doing more book and life updates here, so don’t forget to subscribe, please.

I’m aiming to finish revisions on the next book in the Ghosts & Demons Series (which will all be rebranded The Dimension Wars.) Long story for another post.  What’s much fun is discovering new music for the soundtrack of my life.
I can get a lot done with various versions of Mission Impossible playing constantly. For working out, the soundtrack to Suicide Squad is damn cool even if you didn’t like the movie. (I did.) Try Work This Body by Walk the Moon, too.

For writing, I’ve discovered some songs that are new to me but are a lot of fun. Sweep the Leg from No More Kings is fun, especially if you, like me,  can’t let go of the movie The Karate Kid.  I’m also a new fan of Jim’s Big Ego. The Ballad of Barry Allen is a haunting take on the Flash. Stress is hilarious and true and I love Jonathan Coulton’s Code Monkey. The clever but yearning tone reminds me of Hackensack by Fountains of Wayne.

Check ’em out. I’m sure you’ll find something to tickle your ear bones.

My new cover for Intense Violence, Bizarre Themes

Intense Violence, Bizarre Themes is about a young criminal (me) who returns to New York looking for escape and a second chance. You know what? NYC is pretty unforgiving. Ex-girlfriends and angry brothers weren’t pleased about my return, either. The quest for cash and a new life keeps the plot moving fast. Jump in. You’ll love the ride.

INTENSE VIOLENCE BIZARRE THEMES (Small)

Thanks to Kit Foster of KitFosterDesign.com for another great design.
