Talk To Your Self

I’ve been reading a new book by Steve Pavlina titled Personal Development for Smart People. Steve’s blog www.stevepavlina.com and his forums for discussing issues relating to personal growth at http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums/ are among the most popular destinations for growth conscious people on the Internet. Steve lives the life he writes about in his online presence and in this book.

As a teenager Steve began his journey of conscious pursuit of personal growth while sitting in a jail cell charged with felony theft. While there he made the connection between his thoughts, emotions and behaviors and the situation he found himself in and resolved to change. This book is the story of the principles he discovered and used in his trip from that personal bottom to a position of personal mastery.

This book is both a philosophical treatise and a practical guide to consciously living and improving your life. There are clear statements of principals and why they work in achieving a better life and life experience. The fundamental principles he writes of in the book are Truth, Love, Power, Oneness, Authority, Courage and Intelligence.

Steve expands and explains these core principles in a clear and understandable way. After reading the first half of the book where these principles are introduced the reader will have an intuitive knowledge about these principles and how they are pertinent to his or her own life.

The second half of the book is titled practical application and is exactly what the title suggests, a practical, realistic, and functional guide to using the principles explained in the first part of the book. The chapters in this portion of the book are Habits, Career, Money, Health, Relationships and spirituality.

A reader who wishes to make positive change in his or her life will discover practical tools in this book, which if practiced and incorporated into daily life will enable them to make the positive change they desire to produce in their lives.

From sitting in jail as a teenager to becoming the creator of one of the most visited self help blogs on the Internet to writing a masterful book to explain universal principles of personal development Steve has walked the path he writes about in his blog, book and that he speaks about in his public appearances. Steve Pavlina has often said he is happiest when he is able to provide value and is able to observe others living consciously and choosing lives which have meaning to them.

I hope you will buy the book and discover the useful and potentially life changing truths within. I have included a link at the bottom of this article which you may use to buy the book and even read other reviews of Personal Development for Smart People. If you have an interest in discussing the book and the principles contained within I suggest that you read Steve’s blog and participate in his online discussion forums.

I recommend this book to anyone who desires living a life of conscious choice.

I Take Care of Myself, is a MP3 audio with a background of a thunderstorm. This audio is a relaxation audio product and as such it should never be used when driving a vehicle or when the driver of a vehicle could hear the audio. It should never be used when total alertness is necessary for safety.

The spoken audio consists of three positive self talk phrases.

• I take care of myself.
• I make good decisions.
• I take action.

I take care of myself. This phrase is used because ultimately we are all responsible for our selves. We all take care of ourselves in the manner we are capable of in the present moment. Our goal is to learn how to take care of ourselves consciously and to make the choices which will enable us to have and live the lives we truly choose to have.

I make good decisions. We make decisions which determine what will happen in our life. If we eat well and exercise appropriately we are more likely to be a healthy body size and to be physically fit. Consciously making good decisions is part of the process of living the life we desire by choice not chance. If we work towards our goals we are empowering ourselves and living the life we choose and we plan.

I take action. The action step requires more than thinking, it requires doing. In small or large things action increases the probability of achieving our goals. When we take action and the outcome is not what we anticipated we use this new information to modify our actions to achieve our goals with new action. Success is becoming willing to take action and learn.

I suggest that you listen to this audio at least one time per day for 45 days. You may listen more often if you desire. You may use this audio as a way to relax and go to sleep by playing the audio while in bed.

I hope this audio is useful to you. I also hope you will leave a comment and tell me about your experience with the audio and what other kinds of audio you would most like to see on ??????www.talktoyourself.com.

Here is a script I have written about healthy eating. It is encoded with binaural audio to have greater success in internalizing the messages in the audio. This audio has been created using the Schumann Resonance and it reported to have widely different effect on different people, some even say strange effects.

You can try this audio with or without headphones as it will work with or without the headphones. The effect will be heightened if headphones are used.

You should try this when you have some free time ahead of you to see how it affects you. Then after you determine it is useful to you perhaps you would play it one hour before eating or preparing each meal and as many other times as you deem useful.

The text of the script is below in italics:

I am alive!

I’m glad I’m alive!

My life is important to me and I care for it in many ways.

I make choices to have a good and healthy life.

I choose what I eat and the quantities I eat.. I choose the times that I eat and the places where I eat. I choose who I am with, when I eat. I make these decisions to have a healthy mind in a healthy body. I enjoy taking good care of myself today in every way. I make good choices for myself and do not accept the urges and demands of my old habits when they are not good choices. I make good choices today in all areas of my life, including what I eat, when I eat, the quantities I eat, and who I eat with.

I question my thoughts and impulses about food. I make good choices about everything in my life today, including food.

When I eat, I take a deep breath before beginning and say to myself, this is fuel for my healthy body. I look at the food before beginning my meals and mentally comment to myself that, eating is good and healthy for me. I eat slowly, often putting my knife, fork and spoon on the table and chewing slowly. I savor the taste of the food knowing it is fuel for my body.

It is good to provide good nutritious food for my body. I deserve to enjoy eating good healthy food. I deserve to have a healthy mind and body. I deserve to enjoy life and I make the choices that make it reality for me. I am worthy of happiness and taking care of my body and my physical health is part of living a happy life.

I care about myself!

I care about others and I know I must care for myself before I can truly care about others. I must help myself first. Today I take good care of myself by eating good healthy food. I eat good food in healthy quantities. I eat at carefully chosen times. I eat slowly and think about the purpose of food in my life.

When an emotional issue arises I know that food is not the answer for me. I know there are other tools to deal with emotions. Food is fuel for my body. I use food as fuel for my body. I use other tools for other life situations.

I am proud of myself for the care and attention I give my self and my eating habits. My body is becoming healthier and healthier each day and even each moment as I realize how committed I am to being healthy.

It is never advisable to drive or operate machinery while listening to binaural audio unless you have previewed the program and determined you remain alert and safe during play.

James Allen

The book, As A Man Thinketh, has inspired millions around the world and been a major influence in the self-improvement industry.

The author, James Allen was born in Leicester, England in 1864 and worked as a personal secretary for an executive of a large English corporation until 1902. At the age of 38 he retired to writing and moved with his wife to a small cottage at Ilfracombe, in Devon England. He wrote more than 20 works before passing away suddenly at the age of 48.

As A Man Thinketh, has influenced many contemporary writers including Norman Vincent Peale, Earl Nightingale, Denis Waitley and Tony Robbins, Shad Helmstetter, and others.

As A Man Thinketh was James Allen’s second book and the work which is most popular today.

The work may arguably be said to have started the modern self help genre. It is a classic with timeless wisdom which is a useful today as it was in 1902 when it was first published. The language is filled with instructions and hints on how to master the ship of destiny and plot a course to arrive at that place where we, in our hearts and our thoughts, wish to arrive.
