Thanks! I figure it's a good name to have...to remind myself and others to keep smiling!
I don't know if we're new to the program now...but that's ok. We're learning something aaalll the time...so I think we're all new!
I am glad you are learning about irritation and anger. I learned something about my anger and irritation, but I still didn't find I had many episodes.
I notice (and I'm in Session 7, and just reviewed Session 4) that I am learning from past sessions through the sessions I am doing in the now- all sessions are somehow connected.. And if I review, I learn something again, too. Whether it's a lesson JUST from one session, or participating/practising and learning/ knowing that I am collaborating lessons from diff. sessions....I am learning a ton and I am liking it! I hope this goes for you, too.
I am finding it hard to "be." I am feeling lost as to how to react and think and feel...I'm on overdrive. I have come to the conclusion that I need to focus on the session I am on and then keep moving forward. It's good to maybe review, too (and the session's "put to practise" say it's an option to get in the right mode), but I won't let myself get confused too much. I know being confused and having questions and "feeling it all out" is all a part of learning sometimes.
Have you felt lost and sort of...learning how to live again? I hear it's totally normal!
Thanks, Lynda, and I like that you used your real name
