Eight Ways to Reduce Stress and Feel Great

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

A kind of "stress dam" I like to call it, is setup when we cannot or do not know how to release tension. When you allow stress to build, it releases hormones that cause us to be more accident-prone and less able to make good decisions. This can also reduce our motivation to succeed and even cause burnout and loss of performance. Trying to start and maintain a new home business can cause a slow buildup of stress. In some people the stress builds up to a certain point and they "explode" in anger or "fly off the handle" as my mom used to say. Some people break things or treat others badly. This is the wrong way to relieve stress and could be dangerous. It also will transfer stress to coworkers and worse to your customers. Stress can change the way you answer emails and phone calls to customers or clients. You may not notice a thing but your customer can feel that slight boiling point or impatience with them. MOVIES AND TV Why do we like to watch a good action movie? You know it's fake and all that killing isn't real. Think about it. **End Summary** Topics: Stress]]> business]]> business stress]]> stress management]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Walter Minton tells stories and creates screenplays.

Be Fair and Start Online Business the Hard Way

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Oliver Junkwagon the second and I like my father before me think it's only fair to do things the hard way. It's a tradition from a long line of Junkwagons. Why would anyone want to do everything the hard way you ask? Well, before you finish this article you will be convinced that my way is the only way to do business on the internet. Have you ever watched the professional pool players? The reason they are so good is they never take the easy shots. Oh no, they always take the most difficult shot on the table. That's how they get so good by taking the hardest shot they can. My dad even made his own balls and cues. So there you have it, proof positive that doing things the easy way isn't any good for doing business online. What's that you say? Oh I see, you think I'm crazy don't you. You want more proof do you? Ok, you win. But you're only making things harder for me and you know what will happen. I'll get better, that's what. **End Summary** Topics: business]]> website business]]> affiliates]]> internet marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Walter Minton tells stories and creates screenplays.

Movie Stars and Western Movies Took My Parents Place as a Child Causing Real Life Confusion

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Many of you probably had experiences with movies like mine when you were growing up. Your parents (if you were lucky enough to have at least one) would use the TV or Movies to keep you occupied (out of their hair). My Dad would give me two dollars every day for entertainment so I spent it mostly on movies. Yes, every day, and keep in mind that this was the early fifty's when most theaters were 25 cents and the most expensive theater in town was seventy five cents. The same money would be around twenty five dollars today. At the time most movie houses were showing double features and some had three features with two cartoons and a serial. And because of my love for movies I saw every one of them at least twice and some many times. This went on for years and of course couldn't have been good for me. However it gave me a focused education in films and stories and perhaps a little confusion about real life. People in movies don't have to follow through with work and school and oh yeah, the big one, Love. **End Summary** Topics: Movies]]> Stories]]> theaters]]> entertainment]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Walter Minton tells stories and creates screenplays.

The 20 Vacation Worlds of Las Vegas

Mon, 28 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400

My wife enjoys the great outdoors, but she can only put up with the sand and dirt for a few days. After roughing it (in the RV:), she needs a nice hotel and a little luxury. So when she's had enough and, after many great desert adventures, we have used Las Vegas as a resting and cleanup spot. Within an hours travel from Las Vegas there are many places to go fishing, boating, camping, flying, and western horseback riding. The desert is also a photographer's dream that changes shapes and colors with each area and the time of day. Sometimes after a little rest, we return to the desert for another adventure. If you are from back east or another country, you should know that even though the desert is beautiful it is still a desert and you need to know where you are going by using a good map and have plenty of water and make sure your rental car has a spare and is full of gas. Get a good GPS device and practice with it. We have used ours to find things we saw on a map. **End Summary** Topics: Travel]]> vacation]]> Las Vegas]]> Camping]]> Fishing]]> Grand Canyon]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Author Walter Minton's travel website has Guaranteed Special Internet Rates the lowest you can find. http://www.TravelNetMall.com Visit and read the many articles and tips.

How To Sell Your House For More And Build A Better House For Less

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400

My father always told me Real estate is a good investment because they do not make it anymore. Because real estate companies are so busy these days they will be thinking more of listing more homes than your welfare. If you plan on selling and moving, you will need to take some simple steps to get the most money you can. Most Real Estate companies do a good job but in a sellers market you can probably sell your home yourself. Anyway, if you have the time it will not hurt to try. Do not believe the radio ads with the exaggerated problems. If it does not sell then you can always call the pros in latter. The internet has been a blessing to the average person and it is getting better every day. Not only can you sell many things you do not need anymore, you can even sell your home on the net. Thousands of people visit sites like this looking for a new home. Even if your home is with a Broker, you can still speed things along by putting low cost ads on the internet. First, you need to get your home ready to show. **End Summary** Topics: new home]]> moving]]> sell your home]]> build your house]]> real estate]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Walter Minton has a new one-stop travel center with research and articles on destinations.

California is rich with movie history with many interesting filming spots you can visit. If you have never been to Universal City then this is a good place to start.
