But, alas, it hasn't worked for me yet. I wrote an MBO on a pad of paper and placed it next to my window. Despite living alone, I just can't bring myself to speak aloud . Are written MBOs less effective than spoken?

Can anyone suggest a good way to experience MBOs for the first time?

Hi Neil,

Write down your MBOs and then just whisper them. That's how I started. I felt very embarrassed saying them out loud because I share a flat with my sister.
Now I've grown more confident saying my MBOs in a low voice. The MBOs work for nonetheless!
