Day 11: I have a question for myself: Is my need for so many naps physical or emotional? I do not know the answer. Swollen lymph nodes without pain is not a usual TMS symptom and I am scheduled to visit an integrative doctor in a couple of weeks to see if there are physical causes. I may take a...

Day 10: Dear house, you cause me stress because I have trouble finding things. This makes me mad. It makes me feel helpless. It makes me feel like a loser. It makes me want to give up. Today I will focus on a place for everything and everything in its place.

Day 9: Question to ponder: Is it true that when I don’t put so much pressure on myself, I am more productive? That is not happening now, because I am taking more time for resting and healing.

Day 4: Today I will work on the “my personality” portion of the sources of TMS using the questions in the TMS Personality Traits list. Perfectionist: “Do you ignore your own needs and feelings to accomplish a task?” Yes, I do. I have been developing a schedule that takes into account all my...

Day 2: I commit myself to this program, knowing that it can take 45 minutes a day.
