Marcia,
Quote From: marcia52One of the best tools I ever got to help me with my low self-esteem was Dr. Lawlis' lose weight meditation cd's. I got the 1st set ever done and I was able to use it as a tool for me going to bed at night. The first one is my cd of choice. I never liked those fancy ones that you have to wear headphones with while this music & voice goes up and down -- it just doesn't feel right with me. But the set I got allowed me to listen to his words and challenge them.
From the cd, I learned to BREATHE when I'm nervous or scared. I heard for the 1st time over and over again how I deserved the very best in life and most importantly, how he believed in me. And I believe it was true! cause he does care. It's not like he hasn't been helping people like me for over 30 years! Cause he has!!
I was supposed to just listen to 1 for 30 days, than the other, and move on to the next. But I never did. I just kept playing the 1st CD for 30 days and then the 2nd one. Then eventually, I just played the 1st one when I needed strength. Just knowing that he was telling me I was a good person and I was deserving helped me tackle whatever fears I had.
Did anyone else get those CD's? Did they work for you? I'm curious to see what other's thought about them. I don't have Dr Lawlis' tapes, but I listen to one made by my hypnotherapist. It can be so helpful in giving you knew "scripts." Everytime I'd head for the refrigerator, or be tempted to eat something served or offered to me that I really didn't want, all kinds of new tapes run in my head. (As opposed to the old ones like, "this once won't hurt," and "I deserve it, I've been good.") He also gave me a stress reduction tape that has been invaluable.
