Stress Center Peer Support

Hello everyone.. My Name is Tavish, Im new to the program & having a hard time getting started. I just have no energy or will power, I bought the program, & Just basically go at my own (slow ) pace. so its hard to "just get started" all i want to do is sleep. Bad.. i know.. the energy drop is the worst for me, I have watched the intro Cd, & im on the first Jump start DVD, ( the yellow one) Volume 1 today... any advice?? I just dont know what to do & i know if i had energy, it would be easier to sit down & watch this & deal with... well me... I sometimes wait for my husband.. but i feel as if he just does not want to participate & i think he could benafit from this as well as me.

Hi Tavish and welcome!

First of all, be gentle with yourself. Secondly, persevere even if you stop for a day or two, a week or two, even a month or two. Don't give up because you are worth it!!! I have stalled out on session 8 and redone it then stalled out again because of work and family obligations/responsibilities and yes some avoidance issues. :p The thing is, it's okay because I have learned some basic tools to help me live in the present and know the program is here when I need it. I'm back on track, starting session 9 after being on session 8 for one entire month, BUT I am back on track. Do it for yourself. You deserve it!!

Take care and God bless,
kittylover
