VIDEO: Next! And Other Empowered Ways to Deal with Rejection

How to Use PowerPhrases to Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say and Get What You Want

DVD plus handout by Meryl Runion, A one hour recorded live presentation from the creator of PowerPhrases!

From Meryl: 

"Last year I received a call asking if I would present a session at a conference on the topic of rejection. Apparently the organizer thought I must be some kind of expert on the topic – and she was right!

I remember driving home from the airport so late one Friday night that it was really Saturday AM. I was exhausted and discouraged. It had been a week of painful setbacks. Was it time to throw in the towel, I wondered? But then I realized that what I was doing took courage. I was continuing on in the face of rejection. What my colleagues who made it look so easy were doing was simple compared to what I was doing.

It was then that I latched on to my personal slogan – DARE TO BE ORDINARY! Because the learning curve to being extraordinary can take you through some very ordinary places – filled with self-doubt and rejection. If you ever get discouraged by rejection, this DVD is for you.

This DVD is a live presentation with added handouts. It provides stories you will relate to, exercises you will benefit from and specific action steps to help you turn rejection into a tool for success rather than an obstacle.

I’m lighthearted and good-natured in this presentation, but I’m also completely serious about providing tools to weather rejection."

VIDEOS: NIA Dance DVDs

NIA Dance DVDs. Why? Because it frees your body, and that frees your voice.

NIA Unplugged - dance to drums

Nia Unplugged Dance Workout DVD

Could you use some toning, energizing, and a whole lot of fun? Then get the Nia Unplugged DVD, plug it in, and start moving. It’s intermediate level Nia which is a great place to start – if you don’t insist on doing it exactly right. Fumble along and have fun and feel your energies build. Are you a little uncomfortable wagging your tail like they do? I promise you, your internal organs are thanking you for the massage. Are the vocalizations unnatural to you? I’m with you there, but I’m getting there.

Price: $28.45


Nia Opal Dance Workout DVD

Opal might be my new NIA favorite. Unlike NIA unplugged, which is to drums, Opal uses inspiring music to focus on flow, sweeps, floating moves and spirals. Nia Co-Founder Debbie Rosas leads it, and the camera shows her in front of a mirror so her moves are easy to follow. The focus of Opal is on balancing yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) energy. Opal is filled with graceful and powerful moves Sensory IQ, Body Awareness, Stances, Kicks, Turns, rhythmic and lateral Traveling Steps, FreeDance, and Hand and Arm Techniques.

Price: $28.45

NIA Dance Sanjana

Nia Sanjana Dance Workout DVD

My other new NIA DVD is called Sanjana - and it's fabulous, too. It comes with the focus of dynamic ease. Can you beat that? Learn to move in the zone - with just the right amount of exertion. Sanjana is filled with rhythmic Steps, grounded Stances, power-packed Kicks and expressive Hand Techniques. It's a bit more rhythmic and power-oriented than Opal, but not as much as NIA Unplugged. Nia Co-Founder Debbie Rosas leads this class too.


Price: $28.45

nia-unity

Global Unity Workout DVD

If you have the same thing for breakfast every morning, Nia Unplugged is all you need for a fabulous new workout. But if you like a little variety, get the Global UnityDVD, too. This is longer than Nia Unplugged and provides some instruction and floor play before it unleashes you into dance discovery.

Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about this DVD:
"Nia is 'the' most extraordinary type of movement and exercise I have ever experienced! It combines eastern & western dance, yoga, and tai chi with the pure joy of life through movement. The music is a key to helping you to let go and just do it. The very next best thing from actually finding a teacher to take a live class is to have this DVD to dance and learn with. Carlos and Debbie Rosas have created a form of exercise that I believe everyone in this world should try and do. Nia opens your heart and reminds you that life is a gift and you should enjoy every moment and every breath! If you can't take a class, buy this DVD and just do it; don't judge, don't just watch it, join in and dance!"   (I wonder how this reviewer really feels about this DVD?)
