Hi Alex. Thanks for your input.
Please read my above post for an update on what I have been up to between when I made my original post and when I read your post today.
I listened to the NB Generator once at the beginning of the course and once again at the end. I don’t recall anything in the manual or audio that said to listen more often, but I will try this on your advice.
Do you recommend listening to both sides of the NB generator each day (like side A at night and side B in the morning), or one side one day and one the next? I am married with two young children, so quiet time is at a premium for me.
I tried many different methods of eating and exercise over the years, and I have learned which work well for me and which don’t. I have periods of weeks or months that I apply these methods, and periods when I don’t. I am looking for a breakthrough that will allow me to apply these methods, or something better, consistently.
I have been trying to apply the steps with regard to eating, but the best I have been able to muster so far is a short pause. It’s like stopping to wake up and look around only to have a wave slam into me and carry me off again.
For what it’s worth, my husband and I started a large deck project today. We were doing some prep work and making some decisions about how we were going to handle some details, and I started to oscillate about how much work it was going to be, and how much detail, and how many fights we were going to get into. Then I noticed the oscillation I thought to myself, “I’m oscillating.” It immediately settled to a minor disturbance rather than the panic that was developing. However, did I then proceed to apply the steps of the NB model? No.
Anyway, thanks again for your input. I look forward to any further suggestions. I am trying to give this a few months to see if it works, rather than just dropping it when I don’t get immediate results – that is my normal pattern.
