I want to share the most helpful journal exercise I've done, because it wasn't exactly a prompt from this program (although the structured program does attempt to get you to go here gradually), but this happened to me, a bit more spontaneously. I began to think back of when this pain started...

Besides one bad setback, I've been feeling amazing lately. I'm on Day 16 of the program, but I've been doing this for 25 days or so. I began to share my story with some friends and colleagues and the responses have been interesting. I get a lot of encouragement, and at the same time a lot of...

Thanks for the book recommendation. Its been ordered : )

Thank you. I will explore "man of the house" a bit more in my journaling. I heard of something that Peter Attia was prescribed to help with the inner critic and I'm going to try to start to do this. His therapist said that whenever that inner critic starts berating himself to stop, literally...

My gosh, Andy, thank you so much! I'm going to grab that book straight away, thanks for the recommendation as well as the feedback. "your lack of "real gratitude" is judged by this voice." I love this so much. You've given me much to contemplate and I appreciate it so much.

I love that, thank you so much! "screw that, I'm not going to live in fear anymore." - This is the treatment for me right now. The pain is there, but I'm done worrying about it and exacerbating the problems. Thanks again for sharing and for your kind words. I'm launching the business next week...

I'm incredibly self critical. I have attributed this to my financial success, as I'm sure many here might resonate with, but the pressure I put on myself is certainly at unhealthy levels. I treat myself worse than I would an enemy. If I make a mistake, I'm unrelenting. Even in an activity that I...

Thank you. In so much pain today, it's hard not to be down, or have that doubt creep in, but I'm here to do the work.

The first week has been mostly magical. Every day, my pain has gotten less severe, I have begun to work out regularly and with more intention that I've had in years, and absolutely no fear. I took a few days off of the program (had some all day engagements and the TMS program gave permission...

I have suffered from back pain on and off for about 7 years. It used to come on after strenuous activity, like throwing one of my kids up in the air, or adding more weights to a workout routine, or having to move a heavy piece of furniture. I would in intense pain for a couple of weeks, unable...
