I often have to be careful of not getting 'trapped' into negative thinking such as 'I'm not good at this,' or, 'it's not working.' <br /><br />Also, it's great to hear about the MBSR work you are doing. I was just reading the article on anxiety that you wrote and I'll have to try that exercise as I am absolutely going through some of that. I know exactly what my major issue is (career)...and it's still causing me great stress and anxiety, even after going through the program. Maybe going through that exercise will help out a little bit.Natehttp://www.fearlessendeavors.com/noreply@blogger.com
