Comment on Dr. Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D. – Self Talk and the beautiful efficiency of technology by Gene

Hi RK,

I think the effectiveness in using a persons name would depend a great deal on the individual, for some people it might work very well and others might find it less useful. I would recommend you just try it and watch how you react to the self talk and also be aware of how effective the self talk script is in creating the empowering changes you desire in your life.

Let me know how this works for you!

Hello Gene,
This is very useful information. Actually I had very similar questions as Linda before. I also had this question - How effective is the self talk audio when you use your name.
Example: Tom has a great memory
OR
Tom, You have a great memory !!
Is there any right or wrong way - how do you know. OR do you go with what “feels” best. Thank you for you input.

- RK.

Hi Linda,

I use both I and You in my self talk programs. I might repeat an affirmation using “I” three time and the use “you” in the same statement.

I take care of myself.
You take care of yourself.

I suggest you try both and see which voice speaks to you. I think you will know what works best for you.

I wish you great success in your efforts to use audio recordings to create the life you deserve. If there is anything I can assist you with please contact me.

Hello,
I would like to record my own self-talk. Since the audio I’ll be listening to is on the outside of my body (me listening in, so to speak), should I record my affirmations saying “You” or “I”.

Example: You have a great memory.

OR: I have a great memory.

Weird thing is, I read about this someplace a long time ago, but can’t remember where. It said that if I’m recording and listening to myself with an audio, it should be addressed as “You”.

But, if I’m actually talking to myself, thinking, meditating or writing, then I use “I” or “I am.”

Can you shed some light on this for me. Making tapes takes a good amount of time and I want to get it right the first time.

I am grateful for your valuable time. Enjoy this moment, enjoy your whole day.

Warmly,
Linda

Comment on ADHD Practical Information and Advice: An Article Explaining Why It Seems They’re Not Listening by Gene

Hi Joyce,

Thanks for your comment and the information about narcolepsy, as I had no idea the same mechanism existed in it as it does in ADHD.

“ADHD Practical Information and Advice: An Article Explaining Why It Seems They’re Not Listening”
Blinks, A Phenomenon of Distractibility in Attention Deficit Disorder by James Reisinger, MBA, CLU, CFP, ADD

The “blink” phenomenon described in this article as unique to ADDers is also a most accurate description of Narcolepsy. I believe this portrayal would go far in increasing the understanding of Narcolepsy.

Comment on Learn to Manage Emotions by Gene

Hi Neil,

Thanks for your comment and welcome to Talk To Yourself!

As you stated in your comment, my subconscious mind attempts to assert control at times, in ways which are not in my best interests. My search for sanity required more time and effort than I anticipated.

Comment on Learn to Manage Emotions by Neil Moffatt

The concept of emotional control assumes to an extent that the instigation of an emotion is a conscious choice. I fear not - thanks to our earlier heritage, the emotional response, close to our brain stem, is given first stab at processing incoming sensory information. This is historically as a defence mechanism from times with more obvious and vicious predators.
Our conscious mind lags behind most emotional startups. However, of course, as you rightly point out, it can dampen them down, and generally manage them.
If, like myself, you have very intense emotional reactions to a myriad of events, and a history of emotional overload, then an emotional response can often dictate. Frequently, I am held ransome to an emotional response, regardless of my reasoning that the response is inappropriate. I generally have to distract myself upwards of 2 days before the emotion will subside - many situations simply do not allow for an immediate response.
I would like to have appropriate emotional response to situations, but my subconscious is more in control of my emotions than I appear to be.

Hi John,

I have also found the wisdom in this work by James Allen to speak to me on a deeply and intense personal level. I read the book several times and desired to listen to an audio of the material but was unable to find one so I created this audio for myself.

I am glad that it is some use to you and to others.

Happy trails to you!
Gene
