Comments on: The Ups & Downs Of Telling Others About ED – Courage & Leadership http://transcendbulimia.com/archives/79 An uplifting journey to recovery from bulimia - with tips and coaching for your own recovery.

I took a class to overcome anxiety and the 'worst case scenario' exercise that I learned to use has really helped me. I used to be really terrified of this tool but I got better at it with practice. The steps that I use are: What's the worst that can happen? Will I survive that? How can I handle the situation? That seems overly simple now that I type it out but it expands quite a bit when I'm focusing on whatever challenge is at hand. I really had to learn to focus on the solution rather than the problem. Thanks for another thought-provoking entry Heather! -Sharon I do this too. I took a class to overcome anxiety and the ‘worst case scenario’ exercise that I learned to use has really helped me.

The steps that I use are: What’s the worst that can happen? Will I survive that? How can I handle the situation?

That seems overly simple now that I type it out but it expands quite a bit when I’m focusing on whatever challenge is at hand. I really had to learn to focus on the solution rather than the problem.

Thanks for another thought-provoking entry Heather!

They say that you recognize in others what you have within yourself. Until you start writing more during your day, which you will if it's your dream -- you will be inspiring, healing and changing people who come to you for accupuncture sessions. It's all really energy, isn't it? Just channeled in different ways. It is this variety of ways that energy is channeled that meets people exactly when they need it. Thank you channeling your words, they met me exactly where I needed them!

Thank you channeling your words, they met me exactly where I needed them!

I want to acknowlegde once more what an inspiration you are! I love how concise and organized your writing is. Again, reading your blog entries gets all kinds of little wheels turning in my brain, and I would love to just sit and write about my thoughts all day long! This isn't possible, but I want you to know just how much you are putting in motion (for me and certainly many, many more individuals) that may not be apparent to you. You're creating a domino effect and you cannot even fathom just what grand influence your words have in so many people's lives! with love and respect, Emily Heather,
