I find it does help me deal with a lot of my bad habits like wondering if I"d done something wrong, or assuming that someones bad mood or bad reaction is because of me. This alone helps reduce a lot of my stress (though it is self imposed).So overall, how has it impact your life as a whole
in general? Any improvement or progress, or just
in specific areas (which is not unusual for people
with Epilepsy)
In your OWN perspective, that is; your own view-
point - out of the small bunch, how many really
"hung in there"? Or were they 50/50? Or a few
were like they say in "school days" - "drop outs"?
Or was everyone determined to get to the bottom-
line of it all?
I find this somewhat discouraging
for someone who is trying ---> one should be
encouraged in my opinion, not yadda, yadda, yadda.
Pondering overall in this avenue of this application,
somewhat bewildered am I because this implication
is used upon normal human beings who are attempt-
ing to overcome habits, addictions, issues, struggles,
shortcomings, so on. So this is not a "new process"
but I have never read up on this imposed upon
Epilepsy but this isn't to say it has been around
either - there's so much info out there I've not yet
read up on, so I must put emphasis on this.
... It helps one see their negative habitual responses but what I found hardest is programing myself to use what I've learned before proceeding with a pattern of bahaviour that has been a part of me for a long time. ...
Awareness breeds opportunity. Once you get good at recognizing when you are reacting, you begin to have the opportunity to break the pattern and start acting.
