I have been seeing my therapist for about 1 year now. I must say that he has really helped me make some valuable progress. I seem to be at the point now that I have to make some of the hardest changes in my life/routine. I feel like I've hit a wall and it's come down to either doing it or just giving up and accepting my life of ever changing emotion and mood swings.

One of the major changes I need to make to to get regular exercise. He's been telling me over and over that if I do this, I will really feel so much better. So I've joined my local activity center and even tried out a session with a personal trainer. As a matter of fact, I've been so sore since then that I haven't been back because I can hardly walk!!

This weekend I plan on sitting down and making myself a detailed schedule of what I will do next week, including time scheduled for exercise. I find this very difficult to do, primarily due to my social anxiety. I also find it extremely difficult to make a schedule and stick to it.

I'm hoping some of you have also encountered this and are able to offer some much needed support. I might add that I am currently in a transition period, trying to sell my business and retiring. I'm actually not retiring as much as I am planning a new venture, turning my creative hobbies into another part-time business.

Have any of you tried this, and did it really make a difference in your well being?
Thanks in advance for sharing with me.
