Yesterday was my 31st birthday, it was the best birthday I have ever had!! No big parties, no great presents, but I had some personal breakthroughs that are already making a huge difference, suddenly my anxiety turned to excitement, suddenly I felt the reality of my progress and I finally feel tremendous hope for my future! I am feeling so excited about the year to come, I know I am finally getting better, I am finally truly understanding what's been wrong with me, and more than anything I am having confidence in the skills I am learning to fix what has been a debilitating problem with depression, stress... and my favorite ex-best friend... anxiety!!! I am allowing myself to be excited, wow, huge triumph for me!! Yeah me, it's my birthday!! I was simply reflecting last night and all of a sudden this huge wave of excitement just came over me, I am getting better, I can feel it, I can see it... I just know it and it is the best feeling in the world!! I am just starting lesson 5, I can't wait to see how else this program is going to help me!!! I know there is still a lot of work to be done and there will be set backs, but wow, I am not going to squash my current excitement by worrying all that right now, I will deal with it when it comes and not a second sooner!! Great day for me, I wish you all the best! Peace to your soul!!! Julia
