Hi I just wanted to share an accomplishment that I celebrating today. My overcoming a few days of scary obessive thinking.
Earlier this week, I was going through a "growth spurt". I was having panicky feelings and scary obessive thinking that was really unnerving. I thought to myself here we go again, this junk is back.
It started Sunday evening, I attributed to tiredness and tried to float. When I woke on Monday it all came back. I was particularly vulnerable. I was chasing every scary thought down to analyze and I was carried away dwelling in them.
By Monday afternoon, I couldn't stand it anymore. I pulled out my program and reveiwed lessons 1,2 and 10, as well as listening to my relaxation tape over and over. I also listened to some spiritual tapes that I had. By Tuesday I was beginning to feel better. So here I am on Friday feeling like my "new self" again.
Today, I truely feel blessed. If you told me on Monday that I'd be feeling this way today I would have said no way. I was so anxious and feeling overwhelmed.
You may ask, why does she feel blessed? Well I experienced the nightmare and with God's help and this program, I got through it. I am blessed to have found this program. In the past, before this program, I would have been paralyzed for weeks over the scary obessive thinking and the resulting panicky feelings. I would not have been able to function nor take care of my family.
I came out of it within 2-3 days and feel blessed to have experienced this. I feel stronger.
I have learned some new insights about myself from this last growth spurt which I had never realized before. This new knowledge will assist me dealing in future growth spurts.
This program has helped me to develop compassion and acceptance for myself. I am so proud of myself.
Thank you all for listening. Take care and God Bless.
celebrating me
I'm pretty sure God used you in order to help me
I'm in the exact same boat: obsessing over my obsessing and scared, "this is back and I'm not sure I can handle it...what if it gets out of hand, etc."
I know I can. With your example printed out to remind me, I know I'll make it through this setback and somehow be stronger for it. I have got to push through and do the things I know I can do for myself.
Thanks be to God for getting you through the yucks! Well done for taking care of yourself!
