The redoing program challenge!
Thanks Mike, I see I was doing "all or nothing" with the writting and replacing negative thoughts. It does help me feel better, but like you experienced if I write them all down some times I don't have time to do much else.
You may want to wait until we get started next week but I was wondering what the six steps were you refered to, the only ones I know are the six steps to stop or decrease a panic attack.

I can't wait either mcshope!
Your welcome. Yes many people end up doing that and then they get frustrated. I've seen it many times over the years.
Those are exactly the 6 steps i'm refering to however they are useful for anxiety attacks and any strong negative emotion, not just panic attacks.

hello lindalee:
I was doing the same thing. When the program said to start writing a Journal, I started writing pages and pages and pages of feelings, thoughts and emotions. I spent way too much time writing and not enough time DOING. I write in a Journal now, but for only ten minutes at a time and not neccessarily every day. Just writing on this website may be some peoples version of their "Journal". I did the same thing with the negative thoughts, I kept writing and writing.
Pat yourself on the back for the successful steps you have made toward attacking your anxiety. I carry those little flashcards in my purse with me all of the time so that I can read them when I am not at home.
SESSION FOUR: " I am worth standing up for".
I am going to be starting Session 5 this weekend. I did Session One in one week. I did Session Two in one week. I spent two weeks on Session Three and I spent two weeks on Session Four.

Greetings one and all. This is an update on my life thus far. Since graduating the the program program some years ago, I've gone through a Wellness Program of 10 weeks long. That's helped me realize how badly my diet was and helped me to fix it.One of the steps to fix was to stop drinking so many soda a day, like 5 to ten a day. Now I've lost 30 lbs. and I'm down from a 38 waist to 32.
As far as my Small Business is doing I've recently gone through a Business Planning Class which has allowed me to create a business plan on one of my idea's called WED-TOONS With these I can capture the images of any future newlywed couple in a fantasy SNAP-SHOT graphically and then once laminated it can then be placed on the summit of their wedding cake and exposed to their entourage at their reception party. So as far as those of you out there coming up with every excuse under the sun telling yourselves that this program won't change you for the better.
I say HA! This program has litterally given me back my life for the better or better yet it has given me a CHANCE FOR A BETTER LIFE! Oh, me and some friends of mine are hopefully going to set up a website to show off some more of my art like my incredible comic strip of MADAME X INCORPORATED]. So once this is completed I'll be sure to pass on the link to all of you.
So to conclude. Once more the the program has proformed miracles in my life and given the chance at living a decent and wholesome life and I believe it could do the same for all of you.
Oh, and this December 1st I'm turning 52 and I just LOVE MY LIFE AND WHERE IT'S GOING NOW!!!So just know that whatever your suffering with they're those of us whose gone through the program that had them too. Notice I said "HAD".
Thanx you The Mid-West Center SSSooooo much.

Hi slimjim.
Glad to read your success story. Especially glad to read of someone my age who turned their life around. Good for you. I just started the program and am looking to make contact with others on these forums. What encouragement would you give to others who are just starting now and are trying to get unstuck?
