Personal Development Secrets

By Carrie Spry

Personal development is becoming more and more popular. If that term were used 10 years ago, not many would know the meaning. Anyways, personal development mp3s are becoming the new craze because they are so practical and easy and anyone can listen to them. If you are serious about personal development you need an Ipod. Why? Because it's portable, and organized.

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.

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 it also came in handy when I had my last baby. I put some movies on it for my husband, and while I was patiently waiting to have the baby, my husband could watch movies. Also, after the little girl came into this world, it was nice to keep us occupied while waiting to be discharged.

One time I had car trouble and was stranded for two hours by myself waiting for help to arrive. I was so happy, I happen to have my Ipod with me. I watch Oprah in the middle of nowhere in my car. It was great. Well, I thought so anyways.

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. - 31955
