It's been two months now since I finished the program and I have to admit, when I finished I had relapses and doubts that it actually worked, but I guess for me you could say the program is like an implant or vaccine that works over time and becomes more and more powerful. I suppose like steering a ship, to use another analogy, you can't turn around in little time. It takes much longer to make that tremendous shift. So I want to share with everyone just how things have improved for me because when I was going through the program I kept thinking to myself, wondering how this huge change was going to begin to take effect. Now I see.
Now I see how my expectations have become adjusted slightly. I don't expect everything to be done at once or perfectly. I respect things take time and take their own weird course sometimes. I can let that go now. I also see that I was also justified in feeling terribly stressed because life threw me some incredibly tough challenges. I can appreciate that and I even respect myself now for what I endured. Anyone would have struggled in my situation, I don't care how calm they are.
I also see that I'm aware of negative thinking and although I can't stop it completely, I keep myself from going off the deep end compared to before. I get slightly upset, but I realize most things that are anxiety producing just are not worth caring about because as long as I put all my effort into solving problems I know things work themselves out.
I get things done now. I set goals, even big ones, and go about accomplishing them patiently one step at a time. This program also made me realize how bad my time management skills were. Now I schedule in time to relax because I know how important that is. I know if I lose my temper, I get nothing done, it takes so long to recover and it is so painful. So I schedule in fun time and I don't do more, ever do more than I know I can handle. And when those racing thoughts come, I drop everything and say who cares? I realize it is never that important to ruin my state of mind.
I plan to do the program over one more time, but now I understand that it takes so long for your brain to incorporate these ideas into daily life, but it does. I can't imagine forgetting what I have learned.

I just wanted to let everyone in here who suffers from anxiety and depression know that you can overcome anything you set your mind to. I used to suffer from anxiety and I have been cured from it 6 years now, yes there will be times when you will have some growth spurts and you will get scared and think oh no not again but I say do not fight the feeling it will only make things worse accept it and tell yourself I am not afraid and it will pass. I know from my experience that the reason I was getting so much anxiety was because I was either angry all the time or worrying about things out of my control. This causes you to think negative and then you become afraid of life. Now your adrenalin is pumping and your hands are getting sweaty and your mind is running wild with all these scary thoughts and now your thinking oh man am I going crazy but your not. It's called your nerves being put through a lot of stress. This is when you learn to try and relax and accept the feelings and say it will pass and I am not going to be afraid anymore. You have no control over me. I also started working out, walking everyday during my lunch time at work and eating good nutritional foods and looking at life in a positive way. Not seeing the bad things but seeing that there a lot of beautiful things we have to offer others and know that you are loved and especially the most important that You Love Yourself no matter what. All of these symptoms were caused by my nerves being on edge all the time once I learned to teach my nerves to relax again I was able to also. That's all it is NERVES. Put them to rest so your mind can too....
