Today you will begin the last third of this educational program (out of a total of 42 days when totally developed). By now you should have gained some insights into the true cause of your chronic symptoms. In these last two weeks try to learn how to overcome the thought patterns that create these conditions and develop ways to understand and handle the stresses that trigger TMS/PPD.
Educational Activity: One aspect of TMS/PPD addresses where a person's focus is. The PPD personality traits (perfectionist and goodist) usually lead to people either focusing on past events and mistakes, or stressing about the future and what they have to do to be perfect. In today's educational reading Monte Hueftle discusses discusses the need to focus on the present and provides some suggestions on how to do this. The article is called Focus on the Present and can be access by following this link.

| Personality traits have major implications on the manifestation of symptoms and the recovery time in overcoming these symptoms. Gaining insight and understanding of the traits a person has and how they manifest themselves in PPD symptoms is key to recovering. For today's journal activity take a few minutes to dialogue with one of your personality traits. Enter into a dialogue with your self on why and how you have specific traits.
