Start over on the program or ?

[Lexi*J]

Hello, my name is Alexis. I have tried the program twice. I definitely feel like it is what I need. I was just wondering if I should start over on the program from the beginning with Session 1 or continue where I left off? It has been awhile since I have done anything in the program. I suppose I am answering my own questions. I am such a get it done person that I want to just start where I left off, but I know that this is going to take time. As Lucinda said, "think about how long you have been like this" Habits are not easy to break.. any thoughts?
Thanks Lexi

Personally I would start over (that's what I did. I made it to 7 before) as you said it's been a while. These skills I think especially while working on them are something you should have "fresh" in your head. I would think at least some of what you had previously learned has at least somewhat faded. Either way best of luck to you

Thanks for the reply. I have decided to start over and actually give myself time to get it done at my own pace. It is going pretty good. I am now on Session 2 and although I want results now , I know that I need to take baby steps. Thanks again. I look forward to talking with you in the future!

If it has been a while since you worked on the program, I would start over from the beginning.
Yes, it must remain fresh in your mind. How far did you get on the program the last two times ?
I worked on the program a while back and made it to Session 14. I am now working on the
program for the second time and I am sort of getting STUCK on Session Nine.
Wishing you the best of luck.
Stay Strong,
Lynda

same thing happens to me. I have restarted the program several times. I just cant seem to stick with it. I think my problem is that I just dont want to deal with it. I deal with the anxiety every single day. So the last thing I feel like doing at the end of the day after work is working on my anxiety program. I really just want to relax at home (the only place I truely feel comfortable) and ease my mind for a bit, not focus on the anxiety more! ugh! I dont know what to do, and how to stick with it, its a lot to do when you have a home and have a full time job and try to get a little bit of time to unwind.

I am on hold with the program right now. I hit a bump in the road when I got to
Session Nine and I have not gone any further. Right now I am not working on the
program at all, no journaling and no relaxation CD or anything. This has been a bad
week for me, I have had a lot of joint pain and I can't think of anything else.
I don't know when I am going to continue with Session Nine, but hopefully it will
be soon.
God Bless and Stay Strong,
Lynda
