It's here! It's here! My box is finally here! Wait a minute. That means MY BOX IS HERE! Oh man. As I took my box inside I placed it on the floor. Sat in my chair and STARRED it down. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting. For it to magically open itself or something. That would have been cool. I opened it. OMG! Look at all that STUFF! Then it starts. My palms start sweating. Mind starts racing. I can't do this. What was I thinking. I'm so stupid. Who was I kidding.

OK KIM! Knock it off! Open the D*** BOX!

I did. I fumbled through everything talking myself through it the whole time. The amazing thing is: I'm Here! Posting my experience to all of you.

All of you whom I'm sure went through that very same thing. Or maybe you were among the lucky ones and you were excited to open your box. Good Job. For me it was tuff.

The relaxation part was extremely awkward. All I could think was how stupid I must look. What if my husband or kids walk in and see me stretched out on the bed, face wrinkling, toes moving and me trying to see a waterfall? And what's up with this breathing thing. The whole time I'm trying to relax something. I would just DIE I'm sure. Funny thing... no one came in the room and I didn't die.

It's day 2 and I'm excited today. I don't have the extreme overwhelming feeling in my chest that I had yesterday. That has to be a good sign.

Good luck to everyone else starting their BOX this month. I look forward to talking with some of you and being here to support you.

Yep went through the same feelings you did. You have a great sense of humor about the BOX and the relaxation cd. That should help..you can laugh at yourself...many can't. keep up the great job you are doing and you will win.
Best of luck on your journey to a happy, healthy you!!!!

LOL I had the same reaction. I thought "OMG look at all this stuff!" Once I got it all organized into weekly sessions and got it organized in my mind as to what to do first, I calmed down. Good luck with your BOX and here's cheering you on in your first week! If you're determined and diligent with the workbook assignments it can be life changing.
