Prior to enrolling in the Nuuaria stress reduction program, I use to take pride in my ability to work under pressure, in high stress environment and my level of resilient base on how much pain and suffering I could handle, I had the believe that the more stressful the environment the better I perform, my work performance served as evidence for several years that I indeed work well under the pressure, but the really was that I was neglecting my self, I was overthinking, overeating and procrastinating so I would get so in other to deliver what was needed for me. Everything needed to be perfect and just right. I feel so overwhelmed with the need to meet everyone expectation of me, I was unknowingly putting pressure on my self base on what I taught was expected. I was scare of letting people down. After enrolling in the Nuuaria stress reduction program I learn that I am able to change, I saw the possible of a happier, calmer and better version of my self. I become aware that my body was under so much stress, my mind was all over. I was scare, my foundation was based on me feeling scared and my taught and emotions aligned with my believe at that time. I no longer feel scared, because I know everything will be okay, that's my new believe and truly believe in it, I know that everything it be okay, I am not longer scare of exploring the possibility of that new opportunity, because I know that everything will be okay, and even if it doesn't work out my way, that's still okay, I am okay with that because I took that change, I was not scare and if there was something to learn that's a gain. I am no longer scared to use my voice because I no longer fear rejection. I sometimes experience insecurities but I am aware of them and I am able to trace the thoughts behind those emotions, I have also seen a reduction in overeating, and displaying more self discipline, I choosing to move forward every day, I am meditating, I'm using the evidence journalling, and more aware of my thoughts, I am able to slow them down and redirect. I am implying the training information from the program and my mentor, and I can't finish this review without acknowledging the contribution from the mentoring program, it was above my expectations my mentor Barb was awesome!!! To anyone considering enrolling in this program please do, but you have to implement and put in to practice what you learn. I strongly believe that implementation had a huge part in my success with the program because I was fully committed, to find a way out. I was committed open minded and ready.
