Aww ha bless - haven't you just got a brilliant memory, I couldn't think what the thread was called at all. Tetley to the rescue!!!
Nechtan let me know how you go - I just figure we have spent so much time (months even years) feeding ourselves negative self-talk without realising it, that listening to cd's like the Paul Mckenna one, or my affirmation one, go someway to redressing the balance.
I probably will continue to do stuff like this ongoing actually, as I consider boosting myself up is caring about myself and is best thought of as a way of life really!
You know you say you find 30 mins abit challenging at the mo, well I was wondering if you listened to it in the background, as opposed to through headphones while you do something else, just till you feel more relaxed with it.
Listening through headphones is a very focused way of listening and can be a bit daunting at first. I would also suggest not to worry too much about making yourself relax - that will just come naturally if you don't put any emphasis on it.
It doesn't matter if the first few times (or however often) you listen you are racing around doing something else, cos the more you listen the more comfortable you'll get and with it will come a sense of peaceful comfy-ness.
