Symptoms still lingering should not be ignored, of course, but attention should be paid to advancements, and symptoms should not be overemphasized. Ruburt should attempt more and more to break out of these patterns he allowed to build up about him as a result of symptoms. He should tackle the back stairs more frequently, until they lose what negative significance they gained, you see.

Now that the basic reasons for the symptoms have been conquered, the symptoms would disappear in any case, but at a rather slow rate. The suggestions given, applied with intensity, can work wonders in a very brief time. Attention directed elsewhere is extremely important, for energy is withdrawn from the symptoms. A complete change of environment would be excellent of course if it were practical. Changes in the patterns and habits within the environment will do in place of the above, however.

His attention while walking has been centered upon his progress. He should think of other things, even he counts trees and looks about him. Activity is good for him now, you see.
