Hi everyone! I am a new member and have been doing the program for about 10 days now. I don't understand why but it has taking me 4 days to overcome anxiety just to send the first email. I am working on session 2 now and after listening to the CD, it said to face the fear and just do it, so here I am.
I came home from work on a Friday and the program was sitting on my door stoop. I was on my way to the Detroit auto show, about a six hour drive from home , so I threw the program in the car and listened to the first 7 sessions during the trip. I found myself total involve with what Linda was saying and could relate to many of her syptoms, including the IBS. I could not wait to hear the next CD. When I got home that Sunday I threw the Jump start DVD in the player. Thats when I learned that I broke all of the rules about jumping ahead in the program. I am following the program the way it it suppose to be followed now, one session a week. I will end session 2 this Thursday.
I am already noticing a difference on how I talked to myself and to others. I truly believe that by the end of the program I am going to be a change person. I know some of what is ahead in the program and I can't wait to complete each week. I have found though this program takes quite a bit of time each week if you do all that they ask you to do including the exercise. I have made up my mind that I am going to give this 100% and dedicate the time that is required.
I am only on the second week and I feel more anxious then ever over all of the baggage that I am reviewing in my mind. Things that I thought I had forgotten are coming back into mind. The earliest was when I was 4 years old. I am now 48 years old. Wow! The thing now is that when this stuff comes up I just tell myself that I can't change the past , try to tell myself something good and move on. Life is too short to worry about all the thing from the past.
Thanks for listening!
