busy busy busy bee...

The last few days has been busy busy busy..We spent our weekend in Ohio visiting family. It was a nice getaway to get my mind busy with other things other than my own worried thoughts. I was a bit anxious but I still managed to enjoy the short trip with my family. I kept myself occupied in the car by listening to Dr. Weekes's CD...

Dr. Weekes's voice is so reassuring and calm but yet very firm. Listening to her CD really made me feel as if she was talking to me directly. She spoke about how most of the fear that anxiety sufferers have continues because we add on more fear to our initial fear..Hence all the weird sensations and sometimes panic. She also talked about how to truly accept your anxiety and let your body go through the sensations and remind ourselves that it will all soon go away. I know that most of us at this point already know this....but it's always good to be reminded...Her CD is probably one of the things I will carry with me at all times and listen to.

I am now starting to listen to Eckhart Tolle's "The power of now" so far so good...his voice is also soothing....I heard many great things about his book and I'm hoping to gain a lot from it....

I hope you're having a great week so far....

  1. The only thing I will say is that the concept sounds so easy but is sooo hard to put into effect. Something so easy in words seems next to impossible to do. Looking forward to your thoughts on it and if you are having an easier time following it and actually being able to do it in day to day life.

  2. I was a bit lost on the first CD..I'm nearing the end of the 2nd disc and found myself writing 2 pages of notes. I'll keep you posted on my thoughts...i recently found out that a few of my friends are practicing it. i should also ask them if it was hard for them to follow at first.
