My favorite cure for Jet Lag
I'm in Ireland today with my wife celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary.
Yesterday I did a mini-seminar for my Irish (and a few British) Renaissance Club members and we had a superb time together.
International trips like this are affordable and surprisingly easy to plan. But the #1 deterrent for busy people like you and me making these trips is:
Jet lag.
If you get home from a trip like this and you feel body-slammed for a week afterwards, and you spend the first 2 days of the trip fighting with your body's clock, that's a real downer.
I found a cure and this trip is the 2nd time I've used it.
We boarded the plan Saturday night at 6pm, got maybe 2 hours of sleep on the plane, arrived at 8am Dublin time, and had a busy day. I had a 30 minute nap in the afternoon and we fell into bed at 10pm exhausted.
Thanks to my "secret cure" I felt terrific this morning when I woke up at 7am.
The "secret cure" is an EFT ("Emotional Freedom Technique") that one of my customers teaches in a book he sells called "Jet Lag Passport." EFT consists of tapping on acupuncture points while internalizing an affirmation regarding some mental or emotional adjustment you would like to make.
I found this highly effective for shifting my body's clock. I used it 2 years ago when I went to India. ZERO jet lag on the trip there and a half day of jet lag when I got back (instead of the better part of a week). I was really amazed.
People use EFT for other things too like weight loss, combating addictions and changing bada habits. I have had less success personally using EFT for other things but it most certainly did the trick for these long trips across the Atlantic.
Highly recommended. BTW this is not an affiliate link, just a straight-up endorsement of a method that works like magic. Best $20 investment a world traveler could make.

Thanks for the tip and don't forget to kiss the Blarney Stone.
Give me a call. We can go for a pint. I know a nice pub.
Hey Perry,
Happy 20th! This page showed up on my Google alerts for "jet lag" and some orders. I guess people read what you say
I'm glad you had a good trip and that the method continues to work for you.
I've been enjoying your Amway writings and am coincidentally beginning to work with a direct marketing company downline on overcoming fears, anxieties, limiting beliefs, procrastination, and so on, with EFT. I'll let you know when I have something available online.

Perry,
You can take a look at this article: how to get over jetlag.
Coincidence: I just heard someone else talking about EFT and got my hands on an EFT manual a couple of days ago…
Hope you and L have a fun trip and safe flight back home.
Jet Lags are really annoying… I think I am surely going to try this out for the next time I will be traveling.
Thanks for this Jet Lag Passport I think this will help me too as it helped you out.
Hey Perry!!
How are you?
I hope you have recovered nicely from Dublin! I couldnt make it To Dublin as I was in a different part of the country that weekend you were here..
I hope to catch up with you sometime in Chicago!!!
thanks Perry!

Ireland was super cool. So was Scotland. Thanks for the warm greeting!
Perry – I just read your newsletter about your problems in Scotland.
Here is another lesson – you've gotta tell people while there is time to do something about it!!
You've earned plenty of goodwill here – if you'd told all of us about your problems I could have got a replacement car to you without problems. My cousin is a rural doctor in that area and his sons (who are Rock musicians) have innumerable Saabs so I'm sure we could have sorted things out for you completely seamlessly.
So next time – don't spoil your special holiday – tell you (e-)pals Perry!

Mark,
You're not the only person who wrote in and said that. Here's what I said to another guy:
Thanks very much for the sentiment. I wouldn't dream of sending an email to 20,000 people across the UK so I could hopefully find one who could help me out of a jam – that would not be prudent stewardship of my list. But yes, a local tour would be fun and had it not been my anniversary I just might have made it publicly known that I was there. (As it was, I wanted to be quiet about it.) Locals are ALWAYS the best!
I guess I was thinking of it being a blog posting to target just those who had been following your adventures!
It suggests the need for something I always had in mind in terms of list segmentation – a sub-list of subscribers who might actually want to help you rather than the other way around – a bit like that spotlight thing that Commissioner Gordon used to use to call Batman!
BTW That experience of breaking down in Scotland and being towed by an unintelligible Glaswegian "character" is VERY familiar to me first hand . . .
. . . and with that experience you and Laura might enjoy the Scottish movie "Hard Top Soft Shoulder" http://www.amazon.com/Soft-Top-Hard-Shoulder-Region/dp/B00008AWQY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1257517140&sr=8-2
Mark, on a different kind of trip I would have been blogging frequently. But we wanted to get away from the computer and all that :^>
