Not acknowledging where we actually are has always been so much easier than recognition.

Harv Eker's book, secrets of millionaire mind. He mentioned the negative side about affirmation, things that we make up but not necessarily the right thing, our little voice won't accept that. He then suggested declaration instead of affirmation, declaration says that you're going to be better, you're in the process of becoming a person you dream of, or in the process of becoming financially free. I put more details in my blog post here. http://www.reason4smile.com/2007/11/01/start-declaring-though-you-cant-affirm/ hope it's useful. Thanks! Great article! Hi I read about the same thing from T.

Another pitfall I might add, is that positive thinking very often leads to repression. Of course it's fine for building an abundance mindset, and stuff like that, but when used for emotional issues, I believe it's a big no-no. Apologies for including a link, but it's not a marketing ploy, I would love to hear what you think on the topic: http://www.urbanmonk.net/95/emotional-mastery-the-danger-of-positive-thinking/ Cheers, Albert | UrbanMonk.net Modern personal development, entwined with ancient spirituality.

A great reminder of how it's not about trying to be perfect. Great article Nneka that puts the power of positive thinking into perspective and brings it “down to earth” for rest of us.
