Like most books I write, How To Hang Loose was birthed more out of a need to find solutions for my own problems than the result of cold, academic research. When continual stress resulted in a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome and physicians were unable to provide much hope, I faced the fact that I had to either manage my stress or possibly live as an invalid. By that point in my life, I was actively involved in a counseling practice and a widow dependent on my own ability to earn a living. Quitting work and going on a long vacation was simply not an option!

I had spent years teaching others and giving good advise to troubled souls. I had studied the dynamics of the health/stress cycle and had been a practicing Christian for years. But none of that made me automatically immune when years of giving out more energy than I produced drained me dry. I was up against a wall with the accusation, "physician, heal thyself" echoing in my ears. I knew I had to find practical ways to manage stress while still living in the rat race. And, I did.

In this book, I've given you the information and techniques that turned my health around and I hope it can do the same for you. How To Hang Loose In An Uptight World contains fifteen stress-busting techniques arranged according to the time each will take out of your day. You will learn the basic dynamics of stress and why it can damage your body. You will measure your personal stress load and determine how much it is impacting your health. But most of all you will be able to choose from among the fifteen stress-busters identifying those are most fitted to your personal lifestyle.
