My TMS got crazy...please help

Steve, I appreciate reading the 6 mos - 2 year time frame. I try not to measure my journey by the passing of time but once in awhile, I do get frustrated that it's taking so long. (This past September is when I got Dr. Sarno's book.) I understand this is not linear but still, I get gripped with the "one step forward, two steps back" frustration.

It's also a season of learning how to reconnect with things that nourish my soul - and not feel guilty over it. I've spent most of my adult life being a goodist, even before parenthood.

So I think for me, I need to shift from defensive (trying to learn more, do more, be more!) to an offensive tactic - that be….having more fun, laughing more and doing some things that bring joy.
 
So--the idea is to gather all the information, then stop. Stop "trying" ...and go live without worries and let your symptoms fade into light. Get involved with deep meaning and purpose in your life. Switch your obsession from body and healing to giving back and helping people. So the entire healing process is about shifting awareness from self to other.
I absolutely love this, Steve. Wonderful, and much needed, advice. Thank you!!
