HOw has this program helped me? Good question. Wow. This program has helped me to regain myself. Its a start, at the very precept ( not sure if that is the correct term) of the begginning to help myself to move forward in life.
It has helped me to say no, to speak my mind, not aggressively but assertively. I am at the very beginning of organization, prioritization, and scheduling (planning), in my life. This is in the day to day routine and in the other areas of my life. i have gone through all the tapes, and lessons and daily use the cards. I am reading the second book by Lucinda, Life wihtout limits, and using it as a workbook/tool.
Again, this is giving me the impetus to go to the next step in life. Thanks.
In what ways has the Program helped you?

schnauzermom, it's great hearing from you. Yes, you're so busy with life, we seldom see you anymore. That's good for you but not so great for us cuz we miss you. I sure do! Anyhow you always have been an encourager and because of that I can do the same. Say, what happened to your pretty car? Did you trade your car in for that horse???? LOL! Love ya girl!
Deb, Are you beginning to see the picture here? There is no limit which reminds me when I'm done with my coaching I'd like to get the book "Life Without Limits" too. Alexis, is there a workbook with that also?

I can't get out of the vicious cycle I have set up for myself. But I can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I have began to an effort to make lifestyle changes and hope they will positively affect me in the future but I get SO stressed out during my day
to day activities and I think a job change would also do me good.
PMS is the worse time for my anxiety it makes me so 'wired' and crazy then I come down from the worry and stress and make myself tired.
I HATE these feeling and hope that the program will help me deal with these daily anxiety episodes. They aren't too bad on the weekends, only during the typical workday-and at night I anticipate and dread going to work and doing it all over again. I have a really horrible commute
and I can't be late or else I was told I will get fired so that puts a lot of stress on me and
it keeps me up at night worrying about getting to work on time.
I have adjusted my schedule to get up early but it's hard when I am not getting a full 8 hrs of sleep.
What do you suggest? Or do you think I am on the right path?

Did you change jobs? I really enjoy my actual job
but just getting here is very time consuming and I hate being stuck in traffic. I have to get up SO
early just to beat the traffic. I hate public transportation and if I do take the train I'd have
to walk a long distance to get to my job. Then I
feel the Big Kahuna is always watching me to see if I am on time. They are also downsizing and they
have been firing people very easily lately.
Also I stress out about my health. But I hate going to the doctors I get SO nervous and she
always finds my blood pressure high. But when I take it when I am relaxed it is normal. Then I stress myself out about it and keep taking my BP over a hundred times and of course it's high
because I am nervous about it!! Can the Program help with this fear?
I also had a very bad time in my marriage. My husband has an alcohol problem and it has caused a lot
the the anxiety I was feeling. Since then he has stopped drinking but he also has a problem with
stress and anxiety. We were thinking of having a baby and I feel a lot of pressure about this also!!! So as you can see I am a nervous wreck most of the time worrying about all of these issues.

-BarbGschnauzermom, it's great hearing from you. Yes, you're so busy with life, we seldom see you anymore. That's good for you but not so great for us cuz we miss you. I sure do! Anyhow you always have been an encourager and because of that I can do the same. Say, what happened to your pretty car? Did you trade your car in for that horse???? LOL! Love ya girl!
LOL! Ha! Nope, still got the car. The horse is just a side kick! NO pun intended. Living where we live we have access to them, yes even 30 miles out of Chicago we actually still have farms and horse barns. Yes I do keep busy with school mostly. I received the Board of Trustee Leadership Scholarship (wooo hooo!) at school which covers my tuition 100%, so I take 4 classes which is full time. I also still try as often as possible to spend time with Nana. School work has me nailed though. I am in multi media design classes...I learned how to make a you tube video. <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_DflqcHLVU" TARGET=_blank>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_DflqcHLVU</A> I am making MORE so that will take some time. In the end I will be making actual movies and incorporating sound (voice or music) into them. So I am busy learning.
I do miss people here and wish I could be here more. I noticed though the more I got busy with life, things I viewed as problems were non-existant and I really gave myself the opportunity to trust myself and my skills with daily interactions and situations. I do come on here to check my PM box, but am so overwhelmed with school that I have little time to come on and offer my 2 cents in the forums. I do what I can when I can and that is about all I really can. I learn to live up to my responsibilities and expectations and not what others would like of me at home at school...it has been really a GREAT feeling! And I can say that letting go of controlling everything HAS given me MORE control over my life. I understand that all is not perfect, especially me and that really is OK! I hope that all here can experience peace. Barb, I hope you too are happy living and really knowing that you are a GOOD person! You are helping and encouraging others. How wonderful is that!
Keep doing and going....there really is light at the end of that tunnel! Gotta go shovel otherwise my husband will not make it into the driveway, we have a winter storm here. 
THANKS LUCINDA for the program!

This program saved my life and marriage. Before I started the program I was housebound for 6 months! My first day with the program all I did was watch the initial video and the relaxation session, after watching and listening I actually had the courage to leave my house and visit with a friend, I didn't stay very long but I still went and stayed as long as I felt comfortable. While I was working on the program I made leaps and bounds, there was a horrid event that set me back right to square 1. My 20 year old brother was killed in a trajic car accident. That event made me have to start back at square 1, but when you face an emotionally stressful event like that all you can do is try to stay strong and keep moving forward. For 2 years my husband and I were trying to have children and due to my anxiety, agoraphobia and panic disorder my body wouldn't let me get pregnant. Once I started getting better I discovered that I was pregnant with twins and have been able to stay emotionally stable since then. Sometimes you just need a push in the right direction and something to boost your self esteem. Working on my limitations has been hard but I know that I have to do it to try and get a glimpse of my old self. Now that I have finished the program I still have to work hard at it and constantly go back to my sessions and do the work but I love it and would never go back. This program gave me back my independance and taught me how to love myself and be courageous.
I go grocery shopping, clothes shopping and doctor's appointments on my own. I drive again but still struggle with that at times, I can't drive on a highway yet but I'm working on. The important thing to remember is that when you think you can't do something, try doing it anyways. You may surprise yourself, and if you can't do it then NEVER beat yourself up over it, just keep trying it. Doing the things you are terrified to do can be so free-ing. Just remember to be stubborn about it and always try, giving up and simply saying "I can't do it" will only make it worse. Never give up and even when you aren't strong remember that there is a HUGE support system out there to pick you up and give you a push in the right direction.
