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.
There are other mp3 players out there, but I find Ipod easy to use and setup. I setup play lists for each item I wish to accomplish, for example, a weight loss list, overcoming procrastination, being present, etc. This way I can concentrate on one item at a time.
Anytime I have a chance to listen to these mp3s I take it. My consistent time is right before bed. I try to listen to a quieter more relaxing type, such as hypnosis. The hypnosis relaxes me and I fall asleep easily. For my night time play lists, I set up usually 2-3 mp3s. I am sure to be asleep by the end, and the Ipod turns itself off after it's done, saving the batteries.
When I purchased my Ipod, I went all out and bought the video Ipod, which was worth the money. I downloaded Oprah's web casts on "A New Earth" and watch them whenever I am in a waiting room or somewhere that I am waiting on something.
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 time it came in handy was when I had car trouble and had to wait to be rescued. That turned into another good time to watch Oprah and Eckhart on the web classes.
Driving to and from work proved to be another good time to slow my mind and relax. If you are like me, my drive home from work used to consist of going over what I did, and trying to organize my time for the next morning. When I went to sleep at night, all I could think about was work. I wanted it to end and I wanted to help make myself a better person.
It would take me take me hours to get to sleep. My mind would be racing about work, I would even dream about work. When I woke up it was work, work, work I hated it. There were too many politics and not enough time.
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.
