Shop in a mall

Make it to all my medical appointments without stressing out beforehand

Ask more questions assertively during medical appointment

Be more objectively supportive, in a calm, positive manner when others are stressed

Stop myself at the start of a negative thought, counter it with a positive one and smile inside and out, glorious!

Assertively confront when necessary, without breaking down in tears afterwards

Listen to music in my car and enjoy it

Allow myself time to sit, relax and do nothing

Let my home be less than perfect and be comfortable with this

Say "no" when I am too tired...and not feel guilty

Ask for help around the house...and not feel inadequate for doing so

Realize when I am getting a bit anxious and calm and comfort myself

Accept that "healthy selfish" is OK, even wonderful

Live day to day without planning months and years ahead for things that I have no control over anyway

Love myself more and more with each passing day

Look forward to the day and tomorrow, knowing that whatever comes my way; I CAN handle it, and a great deal better than ever before

Listen to the program's CD's whenever I want to, which is often, and know that it is simply review and reinforcement, and that I am NEVER going back to where I was!

Thank you again. I am so proud of myself that it brings joyful tears to my eyes now and then. I have shared information about your program with several people, and often feel like shouting from a mountaintop, "It really works!" That is how miraculous this program is to me.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Graves-Puiatti,

I have this picture of my grandson, Jake and his duckies, taped to my office phone as a reminder not to take life too seriously.
