Session Three is not easy. It is a very pivotal point in this program. Do you have the coaching DVD? I actually listened to the CD every morning, and every evening I watched the coaching DVD. I worked on the homework every day, too. The journaling is very important. Don't try to skip that homework. We are always going to have that negative thinking, however here is a new tool which will help you learn to unlearn so much of that destructive self talk. You will use the tools from this session for the rest of your life. Don't worry about it, just keep following the program guidebook and doing what it tells you.

Thanks for your encouragement...I have been doing all that it tells me the coaching DVD and for some reason I thought it would get easier but with incorporating how to deal with your anxiety and changing your neg thinking I think it has been a bit much....but I have been doing it all and it helps....I find it good to talk about it as well....

I am glad visted today I too struggle to fit it all in. I have decided to start small and stop to journal my thoughts every couple hours (actually using the oven timer to remind me. I found that I was worrying that I wasn't doing the program properly and not even realizing that that was a negative thought. I think i will revisit the cd/dvd and give my self permission to go slow and that perfection is not needed.
