Stress Center Peer Support

I've just started session one of the programs, and when it asked us to list 9 limitations here's mine...
1. Poor work ethic
2. Unhealthy appearance
3. Low sex drive
4. Excessive smoking
5. Living with regret
6. Watching TV instead of working on something
7. Feeling bad about my situation
8. Worry about suceeding, or accepting failure gracously.
9. Comparing myself to others

I would like to here from other newbies to know what your limitations are from session one. I sure hope that I'm not alone in this program.

congrats on finishing up session one. Push through the program and reap its rewards.
I am with you on number 7 and number 9. I also have a fear of success. I figured that the reason for this is that I believe I will be empty after I am successful. Because of this I strive to be just below success. weird right.

hi, i just started session one yesterday, i can relate to the smoking as i just recently stoppedon tuesday it will be 5 weeks since i had a cigarette, i was scared to quit as i thought it would worsen my anxiety. i took chantix which totally made me feel crazy and out of control so i had to get off ot it. Good luck with everything!

I can definitely relate to number 9 also. Comparing myself and my life to others is a really big one I need to work on. Even people I don't know. I'm trying to replace the thoughts of "why aren't I doing that? or why is that not me and my life?" to "Everyone's life is different and why would I want to be exactly like someone else?"

I can relate to numbers 5 through 9. I think that number 9 is the worst for me, though.

Like Mary Whargo, I also replace the worry of number 9 with a statement about how everyone is different and why would I want to be like everyone else. To it, I add, "We need many different kinds of people, with varying experiences, to make the world go round." It has helped me quite a bit.
