Yeah, thanks. I'm experiencing a major lack of interest in the forums - all of them. I guess I'm not using the internet to hide away from life as much. I'm getting outside more (nice weather helps) and I'm more accepting of where I'm at in my life.
I'll use this post to update really quick:
Felt a lot of fear/anxiety yesterday, and then it pissed me off, which helped me transcend it. The using anger in a positive manner is kicking in. I've been getting so mad about how I haven't been an active participant in my life, just floating along. That got my ass in gear yesterday. I foresee this happening more.
My confidence is improving, in that I feel more hope for myself to be able to choose to do things that will help increase my happiness with what I have to work with. I have projected my mind into fantasy-land in the past, imagining near-impossible scenarios as the only way for me to be happy. That only pushed my concept of being able to be happy further away. Now I'm finding simple ways, directly within my control, to have a happier day-to-day.
I've also realized my marriage is going much better. WAY less argumentation. WAY more sex. This program is clearly clearing away some intimacy issues that I feel stem from a past relationship my wife had. We are showing much more consideration for each other, are more forgiving, and everything is just "better."
