Good to hear you're doing better Miki, you did a great achievement with the trip.  I"m going on my trip on saturday, i'm a bit nervous to be away from home for a week, and its an over 3 hour car ride, but i'll be with the family, and Wesley whose 9 and adores me, he's my hubbies nephew and he only remembers my name not the uncles..hehe..!!!he's too cute, hes going to teach me to fish, he told me.
I"ll be thinking of all of you when I do my exposure session 4.  I'm going to take my notes and sheets so if I get nervous, i'll have backup.:) One of the nephews will probably bring a laptop, if he does i'll drop everyone a note:)

Miki..
 
congrats.. that's fantastic.  I think you're onto something when you talk about the smell of the motel...  I use aromatherapy at home as certain scents bring back fond memories of good places, people or times and I find surrounding myself with them helps a lot in creating a very warm, calm environment.
 
Although you probably can't get a "motel" smell.. LOL.. you may find incorporating aromatherapy may be beneficial to you... Many oils have healing properties that help with fear, anxiety, stomach upset etc.
 
Just a thought....  I personally love things like patchouli, ylang ylang, lavender, neroli... All are very good for the soul :)
 
Again.. way to go!!

Hello all! And thanks Danielle, for the relaxation methods.
I just wanted to update about my trip. I'm back home now and I want to post this in the SUCCESS section, because I feel really good, and I can honestly say that. The last day I was there, I went to the beach and one moment I did get anxious but I got back up again and nature just made me highly happy. I got a headache the day we left because I was so tired, but today, I feel excited. It's really been a while since I've been excited about anything. I'm remembering how much I used to enjoy traveling and I think the smell of the motel or something really reminded me of my passion and it's triggered me. I'm really glad I did it and went on the mini trip. I want to go somewhere again! I thought I will never say that again, but here I am.
