This is a really long post from Steve Pavlina that gives you some good recommendations on motivational tapes that have helped him.

• Steve Pavlina – Overcoming Negative Emotions and Boosting Motivation

He talks about the things that haven’t really worked for him, like NLP, neuro-linquistic programming, and funny movies. In the end, he finds that he really feels a long-lasting boost from motivational tapes by the greats like Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale, Brian Tracy, and Denis Waitley.

I am only personally familiar with Zig Ziglar and Earl Nightingale. Both of their motivational tapes seem so sales-oriented that I don’t know how motivating they would be for people who are working on getting fit. I suggest that you create your own motivational tapes, then it’s not only focused on what you want to accomplish, but it’s also in your voice.

• Visualize a Different You – Write your motivational thoughts, meditation or affirmations.

• How to Record Your Own Meditation MP3 with MusicMatch – Record it as an MP3
