I am already worried about all that has to be done in the program-reading, journaling, listening to cds, watching cd's, the relaxation cd....yikes! It's overwhelming just getting started!!!

The important thing is just to start. I'm on the last session, if I had never started I would never have gotten to where I am in the program - the end! But it's really just the beginning for me.

Pop in the coaching video first, it will tell you what to do - then just do it. It really doesn't take that much time, I usually read the workbook at night for about 10-20 minutes before going to bed, then I'll listen to each CD about 3 times during the week, it doesn't take up that much time to do and is worth the results you'll see.

Just do it.

Hi! Don't worry, this is typical. I just started the video and the first audio... It is also a matter of time! I teach all day and I am a mother of 3 - 1 is out to college, but the other 2 are at home - teenage boys and I have to cook... School is almost over and I will have more time to dedicate myself to this program in about 4/5 weeks. I have to be patient, just like you are, with yourself! I will take some time every day to do a little bit! Do the relaxation tape because it is really important. I also get a bit anxious just starting the program and listening to some of the audio items... But I know better than avoiding this... the program is called "Attacking" and this is the way to go. Do the relaxation tape before and after you work some of the program. Do not force anything, be gentle with yourself, pace yourself.
In love
Betty

Thank you ladies, your encouragement is just wahat I needed. I will watch the coaching video first-that was a good suggestion. As you can tell I am on Day 1 of my journey and am scared. Again, thanks so much for your kind words and guidance. Peace to you both, N Willing
