gooood and eh not so good

[onceinawhile]

sooo there are moments throughout the day when i feel like a superstar and i am so ready to take to the road and feel 100%! i feel like i can do it - drive across that bridge, wait at that intersection for five minutes or sit in a sea of traffic - if thats what it takes. i feel brave and confident and ready!

then there are the other times throughout the day when thinking about that GIANT bridge , the crazy intersection or being STUCK hundreds and hundreds of cars causes the hugest knot in my stomach and i can start to feel my heart race :shock:

i have been working on the exercises and find that they do seem to help A LOT! i just got the program yesterday and feel as though it is helping have more of the good thoughts about driving rather than the not so good ones.

what is the best way to combat the horrifying thoughts when they start to creep in? i don't want to let myself slide back down the hill. i have just about three weeks left until i must drive myself to and from work (32 mis round trip - over the bridge and all) . i believe in myself. i do i do i do i do! :geek: just had to get that out there!!!

eeeeeks!


i love having this forum to just get all of this out of my head - especially in the company of those who understand and don't look at me like i am a nut!!

thanks for listening (reading)!!!!

Hey there -

One thing that I have worked on is writing down what I'm thinking at the moment. Remember - it's all that scary thinking that needs to be squashed. BUT, you have write it when you think of it... not later. Then write down the worst that is going to happen. And what if that did happen? What if it didn't happen? One time when I was doing this, I realized how silly my thinking can be. :)

And I'm also a firm believer in the thought popping. That helped me immensely with the red lights.

Keep thinking positive. Have faith and trust in yourself.

Teaser is right - keep thinking positive. Don't let the "big day" of when you start your new job be seen as some type of time-bomb out there ticking. Turn your thoughts around to see it as a challenge met that will liberate you. If you have only just received your program, and assuming you're not a speed-reader, you will still have a lot of reading through the program in front of you, and I'm sure that will channel you very positively.

Keep posting about your progress.

Hi Onceinawhile,

Haven't seen any posts from you in a while and was wondering how things are going for you leading up to starting your new job. I hope you are working with the program and that your confidence is building through your practice drives over the bridge.

Post and let us know how things are going. There is support through this forum for you so tap into it.

Regards
Fiore
