Stress Center Peer Support

Hi everyone,

Not much that hasn't been said and so much was presented by <span class="ev_code_PURPLE">sunset34 with words of wisdom</span> Excellent points for all of us.
Thankyou!

When I reply to a post similar to this one I find myself feeling that there is a sense of failure by many because things aren't happening as soon as they might have expected or there are set backs, or good days and bad days and so on. I guess what I want to add to all that has been said is that we ALL MUST REMEMBER THESE FACTS: We have had issues for many years so why do we expect a quick fix, there is no quick fix!! It's going to take a lot of time and energy, effort, hard work and the belief we can all overcome our issues. Without believing in ourselves or without using this program as long as we each need to to change our bad, negative, obsessive thought patterns we set ourselves up for failure...This takes commitment each and every hour of each day/ week/ month to get to the inner peace and be able to love life and live it the way we may have only dreamed of. I see so much negativity in posts and I just wish people would spend as much time being kind to themselves and praising themselves and stop beating yourself up. Some may feel great after completing a week, others, a month, and others a year. It's not a race and if treated as such you are setting yourself up for failure.

THE PROGRAM WORKS!!!!!
It's how each person uses it and those who go slow and follow it and redo sessions over and over again are winning. I'm winning after only 10 days and 5 sessions. Instead of wasting precious time and energy thinking I'm not getting better...spend that time working hard with the program and keep saying I can do this. It has worked for thousands and thousands of people for many years now. You can't win anything without puting your best foot forward every day. It's almost that simple.

Just my 2 cents worth.
I really wish you all success and hope you push on to a better, more peacefull, joyfilled new you.

GOOD LUCK!!

Hi monty's mam and everyone here!! You are writing so good about how it feels and how changes come through. We have to notice what we think about ourselves and what we tell us. I used to think I'm hopeless not doing anything wright, everyone is better than me, I'm a bad mother and so on all the time. Im just at my first lesson and I decided to take time with the programme, and I like the breathe exercises and the relaxtion very much and I know it can takes a long time to feel better but I'm glad for the small steps and I TELL myself I'm a good person. I wish all the best to you.

Those are all common thoughts and I have had everyone and then some. We are as Lucinda sais " generally very caring, kind, thoughtfull, loving, sincere and so on people " to EVERYONE BUT OURSELVES.

You will get there, to being able to tell yourself the good thoughts but it does really take a lot of retraining ourselves afterall we have been beating ourselves up for years and years. Me at least 44 years. I have FAITH in you...have it in yourself, don't stop teling yourself how good a person you are and that right now like most on here we just have broken wings but can learn to fly and live with self love and kindness to our own minds and bodies.

BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul I appreciate your kind words but no need to thank me. I love to try and help others suffering as I did so much of my life and now I am doing so much better and feeling much more passion and joy within myself that if I held it all in I would feel selfish. I truly believe we all need to help each other as much as we can.

Thanks again!
