Encouragement Statements
We have included Encouragement Statements as an option on all our albums with a choice of either male or female voices.
These statements can be heard spaced rhythmically through the tracks, designed so as not to distract from the relaxation/dedication that the music is encouraging.
We have created our statements in the way that 'Affirmations' are built, for the best kind of impact.
Affirmations are short, positive statements that are written as if something is the 'now' (I am), rather than the future (I will, I can).
They target our subconscious beliefs that we cannot do things, we are not good enough etc.
Affirmations are used in most personal development (or self-help, but a lot of people don't like that phrase) programs. They are used across the board, from down to earth business programs to those of a more spiritual nature.
Many professionals are convinced of the value of these simple statements that aim to undermine negative beliefs in your subconscious and replace them with positive. The more you listen, the more positive the results.
We all have that inner voice that nags at us, even if we are not immediately aware of it. 90% of this self-talk/inner dialogue of an average person is believed to be negative.
Think about what that inner voice may tell you on a daily basis: "I am too tired to do that", "I would not have the confidence to go up there and make a speech like that", "I am not clever/rich/thin enough to associate with that crowd".
You probably don't even realise that you are doing it.
If you are new to affirmations, then the idea of statements telling you things you don't think are true, can feel a little strange. The Tao philosophy sums affirmations up brilliantly to hopefully re-assure you - as not being self-deception, but self-direction.
Your Statements List
With every album purchased, you will also be sent the text of the statements (the childrens one's will be illustrated based on the themes of the tracks).
It can be helpful to read these statements or even keep them pinned up somewhere as the more you hear and read them, the more positive messages are being sent to your subconscious.
Statements for Exercise
If you have a more straight-forward attitude to life and you don't feel the Encouragement Statements are for you/you don't like the idea of Affirmation, then it is still worth considering these with your Exercise album as they really can give you some extra motivation on a hard workout.
Many long distance runners use positive self talk to block out pain during tough parts of a race. Scientists have long been studying athletes to see how the mind can control how the body reacts to situations. It is now commonplace for high level athletes also to use visualisation as a tool.
Statements for Relaxation
Relaxation is invaluable to combat stress and the physical ailments which can result in too much stress. People are stressed for a variety of reasons, but often it can be pinned down to a few basics - feelings of lack of control, power, time, energy, knowledge, confidence, money - all of which lead to fear and worry.
Most of this stems from feeling that you are not in control of aspects of all of your life. When you feel like this then your self-esteem and self-confidence is not likely to be very high.
The relaxation statements are designed to relax and calm you, but to also focus on positive beliefs about yourself.
It may seem frivolous to take time out for yourself, especially when you have a thousand and one things to do and there are loved ones that you feel you should be putting first. The old adage, that other people cannot love you if you cannot love yourself, does however, ring true.
Improving your self-esteem and confidence will have a positive effect in every aspect of your life, work, relationships, your creativity and even health.
If you are not sure you believe that the statements will work for you, then, hey at the very least, it is quite nice to lie back, relax and have someone tell you nice things about yourself!!
Statements for Children's Relaxation
In the same way that the standard relaxation statements focus on self-esteem, confidence, calm and health - so do the statements on the childrens album. However we have also included those to encourage feeling of being safe and being loved, which is so important for a child.
Of course these are positive messages that parents know they should be getting through to their child - that they are wonderful and clever and creative and loved and they can be whoever they want to be.
However, it's not easy to remember or have the energy to do this every month, let alone every-day, when daily life takes over - the priority is getting the kicking baby into the car seat and convincing your 8 year old not to stick the Lego up his nose.
This is why we recommend using a couple or just one of the tracks for quiet time. This can be just for the music, letting them pick their favourite theme, or perhaps if you feel you would like to pass on some positive messages to your child, you could play the Encouragement Statements.
It's not a bad way for a child to go to sleep to at night either. What a nice thought that your baby or childs last word they hear are that they are loved.
