Findingme's LTU5 Journal

[Shannon]

Shannon, this is supposed to be my 2 day rest.  I've faced major resistance asking, but is it permissible to continue LTU tonight if needed?  I have no idea how deep this will go.  So, I'm asking.

It is your choice in the end whether to follow the instructions or not.  The instructions are calculated for what works best for the majority of people and produces the best overall results for everybody.  At first, my girlfriend did not want to take days off, so we didn't, and it resulted in drop-dead exhaustion after a little while.  The days off haven't always been easy, but the rest is eventually necessary.  It's up to you as to whether or not now is the right time for you to take a break, since you appear to need the support of the program.

The breaks are to prevent exhaustion.  It appears that in the beginning, some cases need to shift the breaks around a bit until certain things are overcome.  But once you have achieved a certain point, the breaks are timed correctly.

It's your choice.  What's right for you?
