Ten Zen Seconds is a direct and passionate call to action for people who value making the most of their time and their lives. I found the method to be a simple and practical way to keep my mind, emotions, and actions in synch throughout the day. Maisel's examples and quotes from people who have used the techniques are motivating and sensible. The small-format paperback is easy to carry around and to read when I have a few spare minutes. I've been surprised at how quickly I can get myself focused and relaxed - for my creative projects and for stressful situations in the rest of my life. You don't have to have read Eric Maisel's creativity books to benefit from this one - but if you have read the others, you will probably find yourself going back to them with renewed interest and energy to do your creative work. I have.—Pamela Burke, mixed media artist

Eric Maisel

I'm the author of the Art Marketing ACTION newsletter. I'm always telling you to do this or that. Now, I'm giving you permission to take short, ten-second breaks.

In this recording, Eric points to 6 specific situations in which artists feel overwhelmed:

  1. Not knowing which thing to do.
  2. Having too many small things to do.
  3. Not enough successes or payoffs.
  4. Finding your work boring or meaningless
  5. Not knowing how to present yourself.
  6. Not liking your own work.

He then shows how to use his incantations to overcome overwhelm.

According to Dr. Maisel, the technique behind Ten Zen Seconds is actually very simple but powerful for reducing your stress, getting yourself centered, and reminding yourself about how you want to live your life. It can even serve as a complete cognitive, emotional, and existential self-help program built on the single idea of “dropping a useful thought into a deep breath.”

You use a deep breath, five seconds on the inhale and five seconds on the
exhale, as a container for important thoughts that aim you in the right
direction in life (described in the book) and you begin to employ this breathing-and-thinking technique that Maisel calls incanting as the primary way to keep yourself on track.

This stuff is perfect for the overworked, stressed-out artist! I hope you enjoy this special information and find a place for it in your daily routine.
