Iam new and feeling a bit of anxiety at the moment. How can I make myself relax and enjoy every moment the way I want to... I have done the first lesson and am going to do the second lesson this week. I am at my son's house and feeling anxiety about the way they feel about me sometimes. I know I am anxious and I want them to know that I am working on it... but I don't want to tell them detail. I feel down and broke my wrist and have been out of commision all of July...but I have to get back on track for school to start in August.. Help!! I have not listened to the relaxing tape yet. Is it really helpful?? I feel like I have to do that when I am home and relaxing by myself! My husband has great anxiety issues with PTSD and the Vietnam war. I am dealing witht that and trying to make ends meet with my teaching job. He has lost this job many times and is now on disability....I am drowning in anxiety and depression... Where do I start to recover???

Sam123, I feel for you. I HATED feeling anxious all of the time. I know how you feel.
You're going to find it difficult to "just relax" at this point because you're new to the program but that doesn't mean you can't get some relief.
I used to listen to the cd every night before bed and sometimes in my truck at lunch time during work when I felt anxious. I couldn't remember the whole cd so I memorized some keywords. There's a point in the disc where Lucinda says "I am calm, I am peaceful, I am relaxed, my mind is quiet, this is my time for relaxation". I have used this SO MANY times while just slowly breathing in and out and realizing that there's really nothing going on around me to be anxious about. Try it. You can do it driving (I'd suggest keeping your eyes OPEN though), while you're just sitting there, or find a quiet place. You need to worry about you right now and not what other people think about you. You can do it. Keep up with the lessons and have patience. I finished mine years ago and have had a full and happy life and continue to. Good luck to you.
