30
Days to Sanity Stories Do
You Have a Story? Do
you have heart-warming, insightful and powerfully moving stories about
how to stay sane in this chaotic 24/7 world?
A co-author of the New York Times Best-selling book series
Chicken Soup for the Soul is currently seeking stories to be included in
30 Days to Sanity, an online stress/resiliency program.
Now you have an opportunity to contribute to this new online program by
sharing your strength, insights, knowledge and wisdom. What
makes a good 30 Days to Sanity story? A
Sanity Story is an
inspirational, true story, that opens the heart and re-kindles
the spirit. It is the
personal account of an event, an obstacle overcome, a strategy to remain
sane, or a lesson learned that helps the reader discover basic
principles they can use in their own lives. Some
of the topics we will include are:
Getting to Know Yourself, Your Needs and Your Dreams, Getting Your
Priorities Straight, Learning to Listen to Your Heart, Discovering Your
Passion, Setting Aside Time Just For You, Balancing Work and Family,
Building a Soulful Community, Learning to Love Your Body, Taking a
Mini-Vacation or Playcation, Setting Limits Both at Work and at Home,
Putting Technology to Work for You, Making a Meaningful Contribution to
the World, Growing From the Bumps in Your Life, Making Technology Free
Times to Truly Connect, Creating a Space Just For You, Making Sacred
Time for Your Family, Eliminating Time Wasters and Energy Suckers,
Managing Technology, Banishing Your Guilt, Celebrating Your Gifts and
Strengths, Expressing Appreciation to a Friend or Loved One, Asking for
Help or Support, Discovering an Attitude of Gratitude, Using Life as
Your Teacher, Cultivating Compassion or humorous stories about funny
things you've done while stressed. What
we're looking for are 'teaching
tales' that inspire the reader to draw their own conclusions
and insights from the story itself.
We are looking for real-life anecdotes that are instructive: a
personal wake-up call that is enlightening.
No preaching or philosophizing, no fables, just good old fashion
storytelling that is based on true experiences.
If
you have a great story and would like to be included in 30
Days to Sanity, please send your stories to: 30
Days to Sanity at Box 31453, Santa Fe, NM
87594-1453 (please keep copies as we are unable to return
submissions). Or e-mail stories to stephanie@30daystosanity.com
The maximum word count is 1200 words.
For each story selected for the program a permission fee of $100
will be offered for one-time rights.
There are no limits on the number of submissions.
Stories must be received no later than May 1, 2013.
