YES, the program worked. i have been feeling wonderful. about 3 wks ago, got stuck in a negative cycle. since then...can not shake the thought, that the negative thinking is back. and, this time...it is here to stay. will the program work again. i must say...the it was awful last time. BUT...i am definately not where i was before starting the program. i guess my fear is...that i know my negative thinking is effecting me...so why can i not get it. why is this thouhgt scaring me. why now???will the program work again???

Hey,

I would review and go back to the parts you feel you need work in.


Sincerely Sit

have you had to repeat the program? oh i forgot to mention...started the program from the beginning. i just want to to know will it work again... i know that i sound redundant :-<

Yes, of course. In fact, it's good to review frequently to keep the program fresh in your mind all the time. It's easy for the ego thinking mind to try to give you a tough time. But if you keep the tools fresh in your mind and continually work on observation, it will become second nature to you. You are creating a new way of thinking. You're not just taking a course and then letting it go when you have completed it. So keep the tools fresh in your mind. Practice observing your thoughts and feelings instead of reacting to them. You'll create a new habit that is strong in foundation and will work for you without much effort.

Make soothing self talk the only way you talk to yourself from now on.

My best to you.

krw,

I am also thinking of repeating the program. There are still areas that I need to work on. I also think that as the book and tapes say that this will not happen overnight. We need to remind ourselves constantly that we need to work to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. I have improved significantly and I want to improve more.

Keep up the good work and eventually it will pay off.

Georgie
