Welcome back :) It can be easy to slip back into our "old selves". Accepting and floating with the feelings is so important, for when we focus on them we just lead ourselves to getting more anxious... then in turn more depressed. If you did it before you can do it again.

We must accept that this kind of program (or any CBT program, in my view) is not a one time fix all necessarily. In some people the results last longer, others shorter. We need to incorporate certain principles for all time. Old conditionings, ingrained habits are likely to return. For example, if we've lost weight and want to keep it off we can't revert to old eating habits. Here we can't revert to old thinking habits.

We can encourage each other, maybe share techniques, difficulties, or successes. For example, I have incorporated meditation and exercise as part of my days every day. Also, I try to turn everything around to a positive and praise myself. What could be better?
