Think hard about this next statement and repeat it to
yourself ten times with real feeling:

‘Really bad things are going to happen to me today.’

Did that make you feel uncomfortable? Did you resist
my instruction?

Did you think, “Are you CRAZY Martin? Why would I want
to think THAT?”

I bet you did! At least I HOPE you did!

Naturally, we don’t want to think that bad things will
happen because just by thinking that awful thought it
might just come true.

We know, deep down, that repeating something like
that, over and over again, can trigger the very event
we fear. So we don’t do it.

Or do we?

In fact, we spend our entire lives fearing the worst,
dreading the ‘inevitable’ and secretly thinking
negative thoughts.

And we wonder why our lives don’t run as smoothly as
we’d like!

Here is a thought for you to ponder:

If you won’t consciously tell yourself that bad things
will happen ten times over because you fear the
outcome, why don’t you tell yourself that good things
are going to happen?

Surely if repeating the bad statement over and over
makes it likely to come true, then the same can be
said of the good statement?

THAT is what the whole concept of positive
affirmations is all about. It may seem silly to keep
repeating something like “Every day in every way I am
getting better and better” but it WORKS.

You ARE what you most often think about.

If you think often enough that you are successful,
pretty soon you’ll start to see all the ways that you
ARE already a success and you will be able to build on
them.

If you think often enough that you are smart, it won’t
be long before you start to focus on all the ways that
you ARE smart, rather than the inevitable areas where
you aren’t.

When you think often enough that your life is filled
with positive energy that makes you happy with your
world …

… you guessed it.

So how about revisiting the beginning of this article:

Think hard about this next statement and repeat it to
yourself ten times with real feeling:

‘Really great things are going to happen to me today.’
