A Quick Lesson on The Word “Don’t”
Written by: David Wolf
Our behaviors and outcomes are determined by the representations we create and imagine in our minds. When we precede statements with the word "don’t," — for example: Don’t think of a blue elephant — our subconscious mind negates the negative"not," in "don’t," and creates an image of what we were not supposed to think of. How big is your blue elephant?
Often times we will have thoughts or make statements regarding what we don’t want to happen and our creative subconscious mind will then create the imagery of what we wanted to avoid, making it more likely to occur. The lesson in this example is that whatever we focus on is what we tend to manifest in life.
It’s important that all statements and affirmations be made in the positive so that our subconscious mind will direct us to accomplish our goals and dreams, helping us to achieve an extraordinary quality of life.
