Beck Group in Raleigh Thurs Sept 24 at 6:30 pm

I hope you will join me as we work through Dr. Judith Beck's book and workbook called the 'Beck Diet Solution.

Dr. Judith Beck has written some books on learning to 'Think Thin.' Her book and accompanying workbook, the Beck Diet Solution are a '6 week' program to help people learn to 'think thin.' I want to address a different topic each time we meet. While it is not necessary to purchase her books to participate, I'm sure it would help. You can find the books on Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com or Borders.com and can often get used copies at a very reasonable price. You'll also need to get a journal and some 3x5 cards.

We will have 'homework associated with each meeting. For the upcoming meeting, the topic will be "What to do when you stumble." ... We all make mistakes and stumble, but it is how we manage those mistakes that may be the most telling about how successful our journey is at any given point in time. We all have been there before; we've made a mistake or choice that isn't supportive of our goal and we decide that since we've already done the damage, we might as well... you can finish the sentence. It's important that we recognize our mistakes, but that we do not let them undo all that we have done and have yet to do. So, the discussion for this meeting will be recognizing when we've made a mistake and learning to start over in the most constructive manner. Please think about how you manage it when you 'stub your toe', any techiques you've learned that you know do or don't work, and let's talk about what they are and ways we can learn to constructively start over. If you have a copy of the Beck Workbook, you'll find some information on this topic on page 112.

I look forward to our next meeting and to learning so new ways to constructively pick myself up and keep going on this incredible journey. I hope you will join us.

If you'd like to join us please RSVP at www.meetup.com/nc-wls for the meeting tomorrow evening in Brier Creek.
