Just remember, run a mile when they ask you to do 'affirmations'.

Pizza wasn't enough for Supermamma to get me to attend a church, booze and steaks wouldn't be enough for me to attend such absolute bollocks.

you lie! what if a chick was thrown in.

besides, you would probably enjoy debating with the trainer.


You may be able to help me, the trainer mentioned something about electron microscopes been able to view cells? at a sub-atomic? level and been able to bascially see raw energy, though depending on the researching viewing it the behaviours of the cells/energy would change (due to that persons thoughts etc). Trying to read more about this but I think I have probably got the terminology wrong.

Tis rubbish, look up the Apple experiment by Rebecca Watson on Youtube, she deals with it hilariously. Don't remember the guys name.

And I went to Parashite for a chick, couldn't get me there again no matter how much pussy is on offer. Well that's entirely untrue, but I said it anyway.

I also remember "Think and Grow Rich". Can't recall who wrote it though.
I've never read such tripe. It's all about convincing yourself that you are already a success, thereby facilitating success. Daily affirmations of that were a big part of it.

To my way of thinking, if you haven't already convinced anyone else of your potential, that kind of self confidence cannot be self taught. It might seem defeatist, but you really do need to find a mentor. Even if only to learn how to put yourself across.

What's wrong with that?

It's not self affirmation that inspires me. If it works for some, great. But I have found that most of those who use affirmations turn into ruthless, scheming back stabbers. One was an outright crook who talked himself into believing it was ok to lie about your product even to the expense of your employer. The two I spoke of earlier are more recent. Rick was always going to be a decent person simply because he was raised that way and his first daily affirmation was self written.
"I'm going to have a great day and help make someone else's day great too", or something like that. Others applied only to how he felt about himself.
Michelle, on the other hand, was more like "I don't mind having to push people over to get where I want to go".

I guess it all depends on how you use them. I don't happen to think they work for everyone. Definately write your own.

Am I rambling? Sorry - not quite awake yet.

Affirmations - I don't use them, but I think I should, maybe I will write my own or just use something else. I not all 'new age', though I do believe thought does have huge control over our lives. Waking up in the morning grumbling and saying/thinking "another shit day, I am not good at anything, there is no work out there for me, I am such a fucking loser", what kind of day do you think that person is likely to have? negative thought is very common and powerful and is generally accepted by society. Though it's very easy to suggest positive thought is just 'airy fairy' nonsense and can have no bearing on our lives.

Nothing wrong with affirmations..I go to work affirming I am going to have a fabulous day, everything is going to run smoothly, noone is going to piss me off, and it works for me...I have a few workmates who come into work, tell me that the day is going to be shit, and they have only just walked in the door, and straight away they have set that thought up, and their day really is shit, then they want to know how come I don't have shit days at work..

On the other hand I have had the odd thought, driving in to work that I don't want to be there, everything will probably turn to crap, and it usually does...

Affirmations shouldn't be thought of as new age stuff.Affirmations are an everyday part of life, being they are thoughts you create, negative or positive..

My mother came to NZ poor, but educated, at the age of 19, and always affirmed to herself that she would be wealthy, and never want for anything..It has worked for her, and is still working...
