lunch with a coworker, make sure you have an alternative second plan 
and, sometimes, even a third plan, just in case your friend isn’t available 
for lunch.
Obstacle:  I always forget to practice.
Solutions:   Plan your practices the way you would any other activity in your day. 
Set aside blocks of time to practice and record them in your appoint -
ment calendar just as you would for any other appointments, so you 
don’t forget.
Set an alarm (e.g., on your wristwatch or a small clock) as a reminder 
to practice.
Ask other people to remind you, if necessary.
Obstacle:   The idea of doing therapeutic exposure work seems overwhelming. I am 
just too scared.
