Doing this program and taking it seriously. AS I was working on lesson 3 last night I was so overwhelmed. It described me and most of the
people I hang with. I am so over the negativity. It is like a sponge that sucks the life out of you!? Anyway I know that my close friends and family and hubby want the best for me and want the world to know the Jill they know. That will have to keep me motivated for now. It is scary and it's alot of work but it will be soooo worth it!!

Gosh today was a really hard one and I seemed to fight neagtivity all day. At work and in bad traffic and with co-workers and clients etc etc. Man alive is it hard to challnege the status quo in the old noggin. I thought my head was going to pop open from shock..hehehe

jill - if your head does pop open, be sure they only put the calm stuff back in. Leave the anxiety stuff on the floor! LOL

Glad to hear that you're so committed to the program. I'm trying to stay very committed as well, although I'm finding it a bit harder now that the novelty has worn off. I'm just finishing week 3 and don't have nearly as many positive/negative thoughts written down as I think I should. My negative thoughts tend to come when it's not convenient to write (like when driving). I'll keep trying though. I'm not giving up.

i know exactly what you mean. i didnt even want to get into it today, and was feeling negative.i actually had a panic/anger episode, and low and behold, i actually used the tools, and it passed, they worked. i was on that pink cloud for a week, and then today the crash, but i jumped back in, and started again with the tapes and journaling, im on session 2, its my 8th day,also the one tape said that we will stop writing as much in time, and this means were getting less negative thoughts. thanks, and keep posting.

I am afraid of recording my negative thoughts somewhat? It almost seems like it would reinforce them by writing them down? I did read too that we could put a check or tick mark down on a note pad everytime we have a negative thought. I think I may do that instead and focus on writing things down that are positive, directed specifically toward the negative feelings I fight like , being out of control or feeling trapped or feeling unloved or unaccepted and those reoccuring themes In genereal I don't know? what does anyone else think about writing down the negatives? Has it helped you?
Thanks so much

Jill

everything i write in the journal of mine is 80% negative, but the tapes suggested that the writing negative thoughts will subside by the 3rd week, but right now what i put down really helps in the fact of getting it out, just like this forum. in my 8th day, now on session 2, the journal and forum have really helped, especially from a guy who didnt like to open up to anyone.this stuff works, keep posting.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input. It helps to know that we are all going thru this together too.
