Hi MattyD I understand your question and it actually popped up a new idea in my head. Besides Isocronic, binaural frequencies and so on there are smartphone apps and there are a few "Achieve your goals" style. You can set yourself a goal make steps for the goal (break it down into pieces or steps so it's easier to approach) and set a deadline.
What you really wanted to know is that if there is any Physical technology that can help you in your journey. And YES! there is...
- There are some pair of glasses with headphones and a small device that can help you achieve the Theta brainwave in just 5 minutes. (They say that an average Buddhist with years of meditation experience requires about 20 minutes in a very quiet place like nature to enter that state, lucky for you, you won't need to be in nature to achieve this state actually you can be in the middle of New York because you will be wearing special headphones)
You can find and read about it here: wwwDOTmindplaceDOTcom/Mindplace-Procyon-System-Meditation-Machine/dp/B000X2BSJM
Unfortunately it's expensive compared to the next item I'l show you.
- A sleeping mask with led lights in it, you wear it and during your sleep it will flash a special pattern and you will have a lucid dream without the need of anchors, dream journal (which I still suggest thou) and other methods.
This one is called "Remee" : wwwDOTsleepwithremeeDOTcom
-Also visit this site: wwwDOTelixaDOTcom/productsDOThtm here are a whole bunch of stuff so I won't enter into details because it could take me a couple of hours probably. You can read about them yourself on google.
Note: Delete the "DOT" and actually put a dot " . " instead.
Now about the idea I was talking a few minutes ago in the beginning of this message, when I was trying different methods to quit smoking about and year ago I used to wear a rubber band on my wrist and every time I craved smoking I would extend and let it hit my wrist so that my mind would associate the thought of smoking with pain and so naturally my body would try to avoid smoking because "it hurts". Literary...Ha! Ha! Ha!
What's the relevance? Well what if I told you...a "Shock Watch" against Procrastination? Eh? What do you think? It's true, it's not a very orthodox method but hey! Do you want to start working out? Well wear this watch and if it detects the fact that you are not in the gym at 8 o clock like you programmed it to it will "Shock" you. Literary! HA! HA! HA! (You will have a sensor that can be left in the gym locker and the watch will synchronize with it so that if the watch isn't near the sensor at the date and time that it was set to it will trigger itself)
Hmmm...Now that I think of it I might start a crowd funding...Ha! Ha!
Take care!
