Why Are MP3s The Key To Personal Development?

One thing that helped me practice personal development was my Ipod. I recommend them to anyone who wishes to seriously pursue personal development. Why an Ipod? Well, it’s portable, can hold thousands of songs that can be organized by artist, genre, or play lists.
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.
I decided to go with the video model. I wasn’t sure about spending the extra money at first, but time after time, it has proven itself valuable. I’ve downloaded Oprah’s web casts on the book “A New Earth” which was written by Eckhart Tolle. I try to watch these when I am a passenger in a car on a long trip, or in a waiting room somewhere.
When I went in labor with my last baby, I had setup other movies on it for my husband. He was so happy to have it. He watched it while patiently waiting for the little bambino to come out and afterward as well, while we were waiting to be discharged. It was great.
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.
Another time I usually listen to mp3s is my drive to and from work. It helps start my day off right and relaxes me after a long and frustrating day at work. Before my Ipod, I would think about my day, what happened, what’s going to happen tomorrow. Even when I went to sleep at night, my mind was consumed with work. I didn’t know how to separate myself.
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 takes me less than 10 minutes to fall asleep. From the time I lay my head down, to deep sleep. I am so happy. I get a better night sleep and wake up happier in the morning. I have changed my life for the better.
