This post is also a follow-up to my post “How to find a job in seven days or less”. Because, I will use job seeking as an example for this post.

The idea is very simple, you create a list of affirmations , you record them and you use that recording on your mp3 player or CD player to listen during the night while you sleep.

You choose something that you would like to work anything that can be worked out with self-hypnosis can be worked out with affirmations tapes in fact, it is very beneficial to combine the two approaches for maximum effect.
Let say you are looking for a job and you buy a self-hypnosis recording that contains a script to help you with that, usually the script will contain instruction to focus your mind so you could use all your resource mental and physical to find a new job. But, may be, this is not the biggest hurdle for you, may be, you have a tendency to mess up at job interview .
Or it is like a Dutch guy I knew, he would use hypnosis CDs to be more attractive to women and it worked but the problem is that he was all very shy around women.
So his new found attractiveness didn’t help very much.
This is where sleep recording can be very useful.

At night , you could try this , you first listen to your hypnosis recording and then when you finish, you will still be probably very relaxed ready to fall asleep, you start listening to the affirmations recording in loop.

Some people think that wearing headphone at night in bed is very uncomfortable, it can be true especially some of the cheap model are very uncomfortable even when you don’t sleep. Now, if you listen to a quality hypnosis recording with binaural beats and with some post-suggestion to make you fall asleep when you are done , like the recording from DeepTranceNow.com then it will not be very much a problem, you will quickly fall asleep if you have quality comfortable headphone.

I tested with the type of models from the pictures, I can sleep well with both model. However, sometime, the earbud type of model get off my hear so I prefer the other bigger model. Choose what feel comfortable to you.

I can sleep with that.

Comfortable wireless headphone with this one cable will not annoy you.

To create your recording write what you want to create on a piece of paper :
e.g ., I want a well paid job as an accountant.
Under the list write your resistances, what prevent you to get that job ?
It could be :
I’m too stupid
I’m too old
I’m inexperienced
I’m from the wrong ethnicity
Etc..etc…

When you have your list turn that into positive affirmations and use a lot of the “more and more” …because it tends to create less resistance.
Your script could start with :
I accept these affirmations more and more and easily each times I listen to them
Everyday I become more and more intelligent and competent in my field of expertise
My age is an asset
Everyday, I become more and more experienced
Everyday, I m more and more accepted as I’m everywhere I go

Create a dozen of positive affirmations to work out your resistance. Another way to know your resistance, is to tell yourself a positive affirmation about something you want to create and wait for its tail-ender to pop up in your mind.
e.g., I’m rich beyond my wildest dream — but, I cant even pay my bills.
In this case what is reinforced is the tail-ender “I can’t pay my bills” while the first part will go ignored.
In this case, if you create a tape for wealth then the first affirmation will be “Everyday, it is easier and easier to pay my bills”
It doesn’t negate that you cant pay your bills, it merely acknowledge that fact and mobilise your mental and psychic resource to pay them more easily.

You can create affirmations with one form, two or three forms.
Me, YOUR NAME, I’m more X everyday …
You, YOUR NAME , You are more X …

Also it is not necessary to use the word “more” for all your affirmations, use this with the one you think have a lot of resistance.

Some people have better success when they exaggerate the affirmation or when the affirmation provoke them. You could try that as well but only if you had success with such types of affirmations in the past.

To record your affirmations, you could use the free program Audacity available on Mac, PC and Linux.

Have fun!
