Stress Center Peer Support

I listened to session 3 for the 1st time today on my way to and from work today. After I got home, I just started crying. At 1st, I thought, OH NO, but then I began to see how my negative thinking at my 1st teaching position, i.e. "I can't do this," led to me resigning in October after only 2 months. I was crying because I was grieving over the self fulfilling prophecy that I had created. I let myself cry it out, prayed, worked out, wrote down my negative thought/fear, "I can't be a good teacher, there's too much I don't know," and changed it to, "I can learn the things I don't know." I laid down and listened to the relaxation tape. I feel at peace and have hope. It's fabulous! My positive action tomorrow will be to read teacher's gazette online. Knowledge is power. Thank you Lucinda.

Hi Kittylover,

I love your spirit! You seem to be really taking charge of your life and making positive changes. You are inspiring me!

Someone once told me, "Do not dwell on the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment."

It sounds like you are doing exactly what need to be doing - and it's working. Yay!
