It is just the way I am that I feel badly when I forget to do things I say I'm going to do. Thanks again to all for being so nice.Best of all I did watch the video and found the guy to be charming and he did a good job for the most part. I did think he could have been more direct and effective in the counter thoughts he used as examples but all in all a good job. Let me know if you agree or not? Take care and thanks again for all the concern:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care and thanks again for all the concern:)Good to hear from you Cynthia:)We all missed your valuable input. I'm not as experienced with the TEA forms as you are but I agree he could have been more direct in his approach to countering his thoughts, but I think he did say he was a beginner at using them in the video and I was not great with my counter thoughts initially. Thanks so much for sharing your impressions!Keep posting because I enjoy all of your input here:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I don't get to come here and help as much as I would like to, but I really enjoy the site and the opportunity to try and share advice and hopefully help others gets where I never thought I could be. My life is better than I ever thought it could be. Of course I would like to have more money and work less but I cannot complain because for the first time in my life I am comfortable in my own skin.How are you doing these days?Thanks for being so kind caring also:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symora Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I've been using the TEA forms for a week or so and already I am finding a difference, mostly because I catch myself when I am negative thinking or obsessive thinking - it has made me so much more conscious of my thought patterns. It's hard though to change ways of thinking and I think it will take awhile... those negative neuropathways as so well used by now I just end up sliding into them naturally. If I were a bobsledder I would win the gold medal for sure in sliding down quickly to my negative familiar place! Now I have to find another sport - and it's feeling a lot like mountain climbing at this point... :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do them daily they will slowly start to take the place of the old negative ways of thinking. I'm no expert and still have a ways to go but I can tell you I am noticing more and more situations that used to upset me and throw me off the cliff that now without even have to use my TEA forms the new thinking jumps in and saves me from the fall. REmember every step you take gets you closer to the top of that mountain Keep in touch and let me know if you have any questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Good job Symora:D The more you use them the more they get ingrained and are there to help you. Just do them everyday and you'll be on top of the mountain sooner than you think:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmays Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Very encouraging as usual Cynthia. How are you doing Symora? Let us know if you have any questions? I still find myself asking questions too:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmays Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Doing awesome Cynthia thanks for asking:pI just replied on another post where you told me to pat myself on the back and I realized in the middle of responding that doing the TEA forms is sort of a way of patting yourself on the back in the process of doing them:D Cool huh?

Endlessnight Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) :)Hi Tmays.
