The Words Inside Your Head
Some persons have a negative script that runs through their heads. By way of the script they are telling themselves over and over again matters that contribute to their own distress: I am; fat; ugly; unlovable; afraid; shy; undeserving; etc. Further their scripts may provide for a negative and ongoing self-fulfilling prophecy, such as; Bad things happen to me; I'll never succeed; I can't be happy. These kinds of negative affirmations are then self-reinforcing and embed the person in a cycle of self-perpetuating upset. These negative scripts or negative affirmations are frequently an issue for persons who experience depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviour. To help resolve the distress, change the words inside your head. Positive affirmations are scripts you recite to yourself to counter or change the negative and thus promote relief. Typically, one uses the antithesis or opposite of the negative script to create a positive affirmation. For instance; I can lose weight; I can strive to be healthy and vibrant; I can choose not to be inducted into conflict; if I take my time, I can learn; I am deserving of a healthy relationship. To strengthen the influence of the positive affirmation, one must recite it regularly. Not necessarily out loud, but certainly regularly. Further, the positive affirmation can be recited in those situations that usually elicit the negative affirmation. By way of example, a person who usually feels anxiety giving a presentation can tell him/herself "All is well, I am confident and prepared". Changing the words inside your head is like exercising a muscle. It takes practice, time and commitment. Some people find it helpful practicing in front of a mirror while looking at their own facial expressions. As you practice in front of a mirror, make your facial expression match the sentiment of the positive affirmation. For many, a reminder is necessary to maintain the practice. Write your positive affirmation on a piece of paper and carry it with you. Tape a copy on the bathroom mirror and tack others on places where you will come across it regularly. Some people find wearing a special bracelet or ring can help them remember to use their positive affirmation. The key is to be practical and use a bit of creativity and have some fun with how you set up your reminders. This is a process you can enjoy. With time and practice, the positive affirmation can replace the negative. As this occurs, your behaviour may change to be consistent with what you are telling yourself. As your behaviour changes, so too do your feelings. Distress fades, success gains. Change your words; change your life. Gary Direnfeld is a social worker and expert on matters of family life.

Some Desperately Needed Honesty About The 'Law of Attraction'!Why 'Revolutioniz' Is So Unique Before creating this product, the authors have been participating on various forums and other social networks. They already knew what the greatest problems and obstacles are that people experience in applying what many call 'The Secret' or the 'Law of Attraction'. (Although the authors prefer to speak about 'universal principles of life'...) However, by participating in these communities, they found out the exact questions, problems and concerns most people have with understanding and applying these principles. As such, they found out what the missing links, the missing bits and the missing pieces are for most people. Their deep and thorough knowledge in this area then allowed them to create an easy-to-understand work of wisdom that answers exactly to people's doubts and missing links. Thus they managed to create what became perhaps the clearest, most straightforward, and most cutting-edge resource on what I myself have come to call 'purposeful life-shaping extraordinaire'. Furthermore, the product has a unique style blending ancient mysticism and modern science. The scientific references go beyond the standard talk about quantum physics that is found in various places already. While some quantum principles are discussed, the authors also provide clear references to studies beyond the regular quantum discussions to create a mind-boggling discussion that really speaks to the readers common sense. Besides, it's not very often that you see authors in this field actually provide clear scientific references backing up their claims of their statements being 'science-based'. Anyway, in my opinion, 'Revolutioniz' has become one of the best products on the subject available in the world today. They leave no stone unturned, which is pretty unique in this field. Most other resources are often either incomplete, unclear, or stick in 'enigmas' and hard-to-understand riddles that few people can really make any practical sense of. Time after time people are left with just fragments of the story. Revolutioniz gives the big picture that many long for so desperately. You will know what to do to make this all work for you, you will know how to do it, and you will even understand why you should do it. |
