Hello all, I am 3 weeks into the program now but just signing in the the support group. I drove by myself after one day in the program and hadn't driven by myself in over two months. It felt great. I had actually quit my job as an insurance agent because of the negative environment. I was going no where fast and wanted out. The Lord has opened up a new opportunity for me to own my own agency. I am going for it but am scared to death. I could really use some input since I will be facing all my fears so suddenly. I am afraid this condition will be so difficult to manage when I will be out there by myself driving everywhere and throwing myself into the public to produce sales. Please help with any ideas. I will not have much time to be online but will check in as often as I can. Thank you and God Bless.

hey Jenashell, I'm starting the program now too. congratulations on your driving, and after not doing that for over 2 months. you have strength in you, you know that you're not going to let this rule you. I read a book called The Purpose Driven Life. I'm a catholic, it's a christian themed book, but anyway even if you're not a religious person just the concept of being purpose driven is soo powerful. You sound determined, purpose driven. Just as important or maybe even more important than what we do is why we do it...in any situation. For example two smokers trying to quit..one wants to quit because cigarrettes are getting more expensive and he doesn't really want to spend the money. The other is realizing that he's smoked for a long time, he has grandchildren he wants to be around for and he realizes that he's lucky to not have already been diagnosed with cancer or something else. He makes a conscious decision that he wants to be healthier, he wants to be around and he decides that he's done smoking. Now between the two men, both are going to come to some difficult moments when they want a cigarrette, but who is more likely to remain strong and focussed and keep his commitment? It's "why' we do what we do. On the same kind of scenario you could give someone who doesn't really want to quit all the literature and patches and gum in the world and it won't matter, but someone who really decides that he's quitting CAN do it with their will. Not that they won't have difficult times, but they made their choice and they're focussed on the "purpose" not the struggle. I think you're going to be successful and you sound like the kind of person who knows that regardless of what happens, you will trust in God. Having your own business I'm sure can be a lot of work and I wouldn't doubt that there will be tough times, but I would say try to focus on the purpose of what you're doing, not on the struggle, and ask God for grace and strength. You sound like a strong person. Good luck and I hope that you find comfort and peace through faith and trust in God.

Hello I just received my program and I am excited to start it! I have been trying to do everything to cure my panic, dizziness and anxiety for the past two months (reading every self-help book on the market)/ I finally read "Panic to Power" which hit in everyone of my symptoms. I am going to start the first session today and hope it will help me.

Hi, Jenni! Omg...it's so funny because I feel that i can relate to you. I have been having dizziness,light headedness for about years now and didn't know what was wrong with me. I have read the panic to power book over this summer and also discovered that I have alot of the same symptoms discribed in the book. When I was reading the book I found myself saying OMG that's totally me. I just started the program today and am so excited!
