I'm working on Session 3 and there's a question that asks us what failures have I experienced in my life. To be honest, I can't think of any significant failures. No one would accuse me of being optimistic, so I can't figure out why I'm not jotting some down. Here's what I have:

• Gaining weight
  
• Failing to stick to an exercise plan
  
• Failing to take care of myself spiritually.
  

I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble with this question. Either not being able of much, like me, or feeling like they have a lot of failures.

Hi Christian73,

I began the program 1 week ago from today by actually listening to audio sessions 1 & 2. Into the week, I completed audio session 3 - self-talk. Honestly, because I'm such a private person, I procrastinated in completing the guide/workbook for 2 reasons: (1) fear that someone will find it and read about all my business (including my husband and children) and (2) I talked myself into not having enough time, while subconsciously hinging on reason (1).

Finally, I talked myself into completing Session 1 homework. I plan to complete sessions 2 & 3 tonight and will focus on session 3 & 4 for this week.

I did find it a challenge to identify the appropriate background factors from the list provided that attributes to my anxiety. I think I'm over thinking; therefore reaching no decision. Maybe this is what you're experiencing? One suggested practice that I will begin this week, is to start a journal -- to capture everything notable!
