OK, I hear that what you are saying and no it is not easy especially if you have conditioned yourself for years telling yourself negative stuff. My suggestion to you is why not try this statement:

"There is nothing that can happen to me unless God allows it."
"If He does allow it He will help me"
"I trust God that I am not sick and am healthy"
"Just because I feel this way doesn't mean I have a disease"

Goodness, I am a chronic worrier, and I worry about worrying. I especially worry about my health and dwell on my symptoms as well,,,like I am tense, I cant breathe, my windpipe is tight...what can be wrong with me?
After listening to session 3 i tell myself, "its only tension and it will go away." Well, I am still waiting for it to go away....So hard to be positive when you are experiencing such strong pysical symptoms...: /
