There was a guy who tried something like that with a wrist watch back in the 60's. He wanted a little shock, not much more than a watch battery back then would provide. He woke up dead or didn't wake up as the case may be. There are better ways to reprogram the brain. Some will even argue that you can use the and-uhs to sound natural. The best is to just slow down, have a pause to allow what you said to sink in, and let the thoughts flow. Best wishes and how ever you may fare, may you fare well.
