i havent started this lesson yet, but i feel that maybe some stuff in it will help me to continue. ive been stuck on lesson 6 for a while now and have just let the whole program drop. maybe its because im resisting change. perhaps i need the skills from these latter chapters to begin accomplishing the earlier ones. what do all of you do to stop resisting change and also how to u keep staying enthusiastic about changing??

I can totally relate to avoiding change and living in procrastination. The whole point of lesson twelve is to find honesty and clarity about what we are getting out of our anxiety and avoidance. After years I'm finally making the connection that staying stuck and comfortable in my little bubble was easier than facing life and responsibility and that I "deserved" to be happy. I had to be willing to risk losing the security that all of my excuses were providing me. I highly encourage you to let lesson twelve sink in. Remember that we are getting some pay off from staying stuck and avoiding whatever it is that makes us uncomfortable.

Veritas,

The motivation to do this work may sometimes diminish, but anxiety will always remind you that there is more work to do.

Sometimes I ignore the signs that I am getting stressed, but when I have body symptoms that lead to anxiety, I know that I need to get back to thinking about healing and doing the work.

I hope someday that the skills I use in the program will become so ingrained that I hardly ever need anxiety to remind me to get back to work.

Lesson 12 is a tough one to get. It took me a long time. But if you keep trying, keep coming back to it, you WILL understand.
