i think faster speeds might work

i tested an affirmation track at 50x speed/pitch change in audacity, and listened to it for at least 20 mins. the affirmations are for experiencing an intense virtual ab workout, and to feel my abs contracting and the intense burn with a workout.

well after 20 mins i was going about my business and kinda forgot about the test (tbh i took a gummy) and was wondering why my abs feel so tight and were burning a bit. like that feeling after you do a billion crunches and your core is locked up a bit.

i think it could work.

50x speed / pitch change, not tempo.

i put this as nsfw bc of the gummy mention, which i guess i didnt have to include but i wanted to be transparent about my little experiment. plus forgetting you're doing the experiment i think lends some credence to its effectiveness vs the idea of it being a placebo effect.
