Life is Not a Stress Rehearsal Bringing Yesterday's Sane Lifestyle Into Today's Insane World
Author: Loretta Laroche

Five CDs, 6 hrs. — read by the author — You lead a busy life. Work, home, family, friends — busy, busy, busy. At work, you have a computer, a telephone with several lines, email, a fax machine, conference calls, colleagues who need you, and an assistant. Your computer contains everything important to your job, which would be great if you kne... more »w how to use it. You let your assistant handle the telephone and the fax, and if you are having a really good day, things with colleagues aren't too crazy and you get to your email before dark. Riding home on the train, you work on your laptop (when it feels like it), attempt remote email in vain at least three times, and scowl at the other passengers gabbing on their cell phones at top volume until yours goes off and you almost knock your laptop onto the floor trying to get it in time. At home there are spouses and children to deal with, more phones, more computers, more time saving devices that never seem to work. You turn to instant gratification sources like television for a moment of peace — but not more,because you don't have the time. Your one minute of true quiet, when you lie down in bed, is filled with thoughts of what you have to do, whose problems you have to fix, places you have to be and is gone almost immediately because you are too tired and overloaded not to shut down. Somehow the time saving devices that dictate our days combined with the 9 million things we have to get done right away, and the places we have to be, and the people we have to squeeze in somewhere, to create a state total and absolute hysteria most of us learn to live with, until on day we just can't take it anymore!Think of your grandparents' generation. Life was simpler, yes, but life was also saner. That generation had a way of seeing through the nonsense — of using their own inner wisdom and common sense to guide them on their way. Your grandmother never had to call home from the grocery store to let everyone know she got the bread.Life IS stressful. Bad things happen. No one wants you to walk around happy, happy, happy all the time. People like that are imbeciles. The key is to learn what matters and what doesn't. LIFE IS NOT A STRESS REHEARSAL is here to help you separate the noise around you from the clarity within you. It's here to help you stop creating stress for yourself by taking all that stuff outside you and making it internal. It's here to help you hear the voice of your grandmother, who would listen to some of the stuff you obsess about today, shake her head in dismay, whack you upside the head and say JUST SHUT UP!
