Regressed!!

I just started Session 2 on Monday, I had a few good days after Session 1 and thinking maybe this would work for me. Then yesterday and today I had the multiple thoughts in my head and depression. I worry that I can't get all the things the workbook suggests we do done since I work all day. I have decided that maybe if I make a schedule for the week it might help. Any suggestions? Anyone feel the same way? I WILL NOT give up though!!

I listen to the session one day then the next day I will do the workbook. So I alternate. I put a lot of pressure on myself the first week trying to do everything and I was burning out. So i decided that I do not have to do this perfectly and just do what I can each day and some days I do a lot and I had a day or two where I did not. Overall I am feeling better and it is working. It is good to hear you are determined. I think this is a great strength and good energy.

Thank you for the comments. Even though we are strangers we all share a common bond. I am my own worse enemy when it comes to negative thoughts. I try too hard at just about everything and expect immediate results. Alas, the perfectionist! I have to learn to be patient and expect some set backs at times. I wish you luck and success with this program.

I'll chime in only to share what I've read here in the past. The program can and does work giving it the attention and effort it calls for. Perfection is not necessary. As the saying goes, "There is no free lunch." It exacts its price in time and effort and dedication.

Also, it is not a quick fix-it or cure all for all time. We always have to do our part. With a good attitude, patience, encouragement, etc. great improvement is possible. Wishing you success, calm, and peace.
