Everyday we surround ourselves with the influences of
media and of other people. More often than not, we
aren't completely conscious about the words that we are
hearing and the words that we are choosing to say to
ourselves and to others.
We spent an entire day attempting
to get a grip on our own negative tendencies. It was an
eye-opening experience. We created fake money and each
time that we had a negative thought or spoke in a
negative fashion, we had to contribute $1 to the Bank of
Negative Energy. By the end of just one afternoon, we
had collected over $230.
That's a frightening amount of
negativity...even when we were trying to think and speak
positively. We learned some valuable things about
ourselves:
1. Words Hold Incredible Power
Choose your language carefully...when you speak to
yourself and when you speak to others. Each word creates
a mental image and negative words paint unpleasant
pictures. These pictures sit in our unconscious and the
brain works to make them true or to negate them.
Speaking positively creates beautiful pictures in the
mind and the unconscious mind then works to align your
reality with them.
2. The Law of Attraction
It's a simple concept that's been around for ages and
has recently been popularized by the book and movie,
"The Secret". The bottom line is that you create your
world, your outcomes, your relationships, your
circumstances...it's all you. Be responsible for what
you've created, take feedback from it and drive yourself
to think positively...attracting positive people,
surroundings and situations for yourself. |
