Personal Development MP3s and Why They Work For Me
My favorite personal development tool is my Ipod. Anyone who is serious about changing their life needs to invest in an mp3 player of some sort. I recommend the Ipod. Why do you need an mp3 player? It can hold thousands of songs that can be organized and best of all, it’s portable.
Sure, other mp3 players play mp3s but I find the Ipods easy to manage and use. Although sometimes I wish I could create play lists on the go. However, the benefits far out weight the drawbacks. What I do is setup a play list for every type of development I want to accomplish. For example, I will setup a play list for weight loss, procrastination, being present or conscious, and other personal traits I want to improve.
When do I listen to these mp3s? Well, whenever I can. Before bed, I usually listen to some type of hypnosis mp3. This helps me relax and fall asleep easily. I can set up a play list that will only play 2-3 mp3s, that way, I won’t kill the battery or have to wake up to turn it off, which is another benefit of Ipod of regular or cheap mp3 players.
When purchasing my Ipod, I decided to get the video one. I think it’s worth the difference in price. I’ve downloaded Oprah’s web casts that she recorded with Eckhart Tolle on his book “A New Earth.” I usually watch them when I am in a waiting room of some sort, or as a passenger in a vehicle on a long trip.
Actually, my husband also used it during my last pregnancy. I had put movies on it in preparation for the labor. He watched before and after the labor. It kept him busy and he admitted that it was worth the money since it had so many uses. Also, I try to keep some kind of kid movie on there and it keeps my oldest daughter quiet when she needs to be patient.
Another great time when it was convenient was when I had car trouble and had to wait hours for rescuing in the middle of no where. I was able to watch Oprah and Eckhart chat it up. It could have been a terrible experience, but turned out to be a nice quiet time for me which isn’t often.
Going back and forth to work was another great time to listen to mp3s and made the drive much faster than it was. Before my personal development era, my mind was consumed with work. What happened that day, what I would be doing tomorrow, all the drama that occurred, etc? Even when I went to sleep at night, all I could think about was work. And that’s the last thing I wanted to think about.
Before my personal development days, it would take me at least an hour, if not two to get to sleep at night. My mind was always racing; usually about work. When I did fall asleep, I would dream about work. First thing in the morning, when I wake up I thought about work. I kept thinking “STOP, STOP, I have more important things to think about.”
Now, it only takes me about 10 minutes to fall asleep. That’s hit the pillow, relax, and sleep. I love it. I don’t dream about work anymore and I have a much better sleep. Listening to mp3s before bed has really changed my life.
