sup.
well, i have been here before and i think i can honestly help you, if you are still interested, etc.
First - learn grapho-therapy. This is basically where you learn to analysis your own handwriting and add new traits and remove bad ones. Handwriting is a detailed and direct reflection of your deepest level of behavioural beliefs. the actual marks you make on the page are directly connected to neural pathways in the brain, ergo changing what you write on page changes what pathways become dominate in your brain. you can learn it pretty much for free from www.myhandwriting.com
This is the BEST way to start real self help becuase it lets you change at the most basic level: far deeper than holosync or self hypnosis.
Seriously, it's so friggin' easy and effective, it changes your entire out-look in life. And it's.... cheeeep!
Heh.
Anyway, second-
You said you have ADD, which I also had. If you want to use hypnosis (which I strongly recommend) you might find that you have trouble going into a trance b/c your brainwaves are quite literally more volitile than the average person's. To this end I recommend the second step being neurofeedback training, which is worthwhile in itself without even the added benifit of later training via self hypnosis. I found ThoughStream from www.mindmodulations.com to be the best for the purposes you are considering... and for the price you can't really go wrong.
Thirdy-
Self hypnosis.
Man! I absolutely love self hypnosis!! There is nothing so incredible in the entire world and that is a simple plain undeniable fact! I foudn the Learning Self Hypnosis course from www.innertalk.com is pretty good value for money. It includes CDs to help you get in a trance which is pretty handy when you are trying to teach yourself and you don't really know what a trance should "be", per se.
But don't under estimate the power of self hypnosis. I mean, the visualization techniques are really cool... yeah. oh Yeah, they are really cool, better than watching TV, but there is way more to it than that. For example, if you want to learn a skill simply get a couple of books about that, read them, and then 'hardwire' key points from the book into yourself via self hypnosis. This works with everything for martial arts to social skills to sexual techniques and absolutely everything in between.
This is pretty much all you need to turn your life around completely. And don't be afriad to experiment with self hypnosis. Trust me it can be really damn fun. Put yourself into a trance every morning and tell yourself that you are living in a state of ecsatcy. Tell yourself that you are unbelievably happy.
Heheh.
Good luck! Love and kisses everyone,
