I bought Annalise Kaylor’s Ebook today

I’m only 11 pages into the first ebook (I got THREE Ebooks from her) and I have already wanted to slap myself three times. Many times I’ve started a paragraph thinking “Oh I knew this/already do this” and then she’ll finish the paragraph and I will go “dang, I am only doing this half way”. She has shown me what I never could understand about SEO.

I’m going to pimp it for a moment and say, this ebook set is going to be a godsend to me as I write for Suite 101, Ehow, Associated Content,  and other sites. I can already breathe a bit easier that March is going to really be a banner month for me because of these tricks I’ve already learned. I can’t even imagine the cash that this one time payment for her Ebooks is going to net me.

Thanks Annalise for a great ebook;)

In today’s hustle and bustle, we are tempted to over extend ourselves and our bodies. There is always one more thing that we need to do, and not enough hours in the day to do them. Many times this means we will get up early, stay up late, and keep pushing to get things done even when we are too tired or already aching. While I’m super guilty of this as well, I can tell you that it will never matter how clean your house is or how “productive” your day was, if you are laying in the hospital or worse from it. You have to take care of you first. The dishes can wait, they’ll not be upset to sit in the sink another day. Your significant other will not stop loving you if you don’t dust today. (Least he/she shouldn’t;) )

Take care of you this weekend lovely readers and remember that you can only do so much. Don’t expect super human efforts from a mere mortal.

Do you stay on the same medication on the same dose for years, or do you do a body workup once a year and see how you are reacting to the medication? Talk with your doctor and see if you need to get a yearly workup to make sure that your medications are working, working correctly, and don’t need to be altered. There are those people that stay on the same meds and the same dose their entire symptomatic lives. However through that time they are going to age, they may lose weight or gain it, many things can alter your meds ability to work. You may need a lesser dose or an increase. Make sure that if you are having any change in your life with your body chemistry or just in basic aging and weight gain/loss that you tell your doctor about it and make sure that your meds are going to be giving you the same response that you need them too.

How many (show of hands) really realise how badly stress and “bad days in general” can really perk your chronic pain? If you are one of the many that really takes stress difficult, you’ll need to find some destressing techniques. Learn some breathing exercises, stretch your entire body (especially the neck and shoulders, where stress and tension seem to gather), drink water (yes it will help), and perhaps get to cracking on some yoga or some meditation. You need a happy place, whether it is a real place or just a corner in your mind that you will go retreat to. Find it, get in touch with it, and learn to visit frequently.

Dear gentle readers, I started this blog with the intentions of helping and spreading some word about chronic pain and the people who suffer from it. I’ve learned though as more and more clients have leaned on me to work (which I love and I’m not complaining) that some jobs are going to have to go. This was a labor of love, and I was getting enough to make it worth it. But now I’ve some big clients that want to pay me nicely to do their work and some things are going to have to go. Sadly this blog is one of the things that will have to go.

If I’ve referred you to today, I hope you stay and connect and love it as I have. I know I have referred many, even though I don’t see you much. It isn’t a total goodbye. When I hear something I just have to pass on I will post it, and I will pop in to give you updates. Just expect them weekly instead of daily;)

Be well gentle readers
