I've experimented with self-help tracks in the past, such as those from Wendi.com or xtrememind.com and havent really received much benefit. I dont want to rule them out as having no benefit to me yet though, and have thought about perhaps I didnt listen to them regularly enough. I've now set myself a goal of listening to Self-Esteem Supercharger two times a day and in fact so far have listened to it 3 times yesterday and will probably be able to put in another 3 times today. Two questions I want to ask about this though:
1/ Is this too much? I wouldnt want it to be overkill. If the third listen brings little benefit thats fine, but I wouldnt want it to take away, maybe by making me bored of the track or smth.
2/ I listened to it on and off for the last week in the bus and would always 'go down' pretty deep. I'm quite sleep deprived nowdays (sleep 5.5-6 hours a night) - I dont feel it much when I'm doing something or at work but this could be the reason I get sleepy during the tracks. I'm not sure if I actually fall asleep or just go down deep. Yesterday I was a lot more lively on my third listen and I noticed things in the track that I'd never heard before even though I'd probably listened to it at least 5 maybe 10 times by then. So my question is, is it OK to be sleepy / fall asleep during this? With some guided visualizations I know one should follow along but this isn't guided, he's just saying things, and in fact with the dual-induction thing going on it seems one is not supposed to be able to pay attention anyway. My sleep cant be THAT deep because I'm on a bus and I cant really fall into a deep sleep so soon.
I would appreciate any feedback!
Thanks!
