Program Committment

Note Well

In order for this program to be effective for you, the first thing that you need to do is 'commit' to it. By committing to this program, you are saying that you will do the work involved in getting healthy. It also means that you will devote 45 minutes each day to the program, and to the work. This might mean that you have to hold off on some other things, but that's okay. TMSers tend to overstretch themselves. Simplifying your life is one of the first steps to becoming healthy. The first thing for you to do is to understand how much your symptoms have affected your life.

The following exercise will help you understand what you have sacrificed due to TMS.
