Stress Center Peer Support

Dear ali04, You know, I've been studying a book from a totally different type of program, but the advice in the book is amazing. It says ALL suffering comes from RESISTANCE to feelings, not the memories or feelings themselves (they are just habits of coping). The advice sounds wierd but it REALLY is...

The secret, if you are having difficulty getting through a CD or a lesson, is to latch onto ONE thing from it that you can believe makes sense. Then, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! Even if that just means playing a powerful positive sentence from the lesson (if you have to revise it a little to suit ...

Dear Now26, I wish I had seen your post earlier, so that I could have tried to help sooner. You are the age I was when I first moved to Arizona from Ohio to get away from my parents and siblings. I was never in the military, and I am female and now much older; but our family backgrounds are similar ...

You are all so loved and forgiven! Believe that! We all beat ourselves up, when there are so many really evil people out there (just watch TV for an hour to prove it). Joshua 1:9 in the Bible says: "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid,neither be thou dismayed: f...

Dear Never-Quit (Great name--keep living up to it), God changes people and God changes things. Many things we have no control over and must learn to leave them in His hands. The best prayer for me has been the Serenity Prayer: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the cou...

One thing that works for me is remembering that HE is in control, not I. And I am not my past, I am His creation and He wants me to learn to let go of my emotions and live for Him and be a servant to His other children whenever I am able. He is in control of all things, and I need to stop feeling si...

Great reply from the above! I would add a quote from A Course in Miracles: "Truth lies only in the present, and you will find it if you seek it there." Have found that forcing my mind to concentrate on the here and now and what i'm accomplishing, really helps. You can do it!

Dear Now 26 and Others, Years ago I went into teaching young elementary students, and It turned out I was not cut out with the patience for it, although I loved the children so much and loved the results of what I did. Other adults did not all see it the same way for their own prejudicial reasons an...

I know it's in the program, but it took reading a lot about it in another book that got me yesterday to start just "observing" my physical and scary feelings. It really does help separate your thoughts and feelings from who you are, a beloved child of God. Happy Resurrection Day to one and all!

Singerdude, I am PRAYING for you! You need help to move on and lose your victim mentality (not that we don't all have a bunch of that), but surfing the net 15-20 hours???! Get yourself a life, the one you deserve. Though you think it is "love", your girl is a LOSER, whom you CHOOSE to let make all y...
