Well, I didn't plan on writing another post today, but as I was out for a walk, literally just about 30 minutes ago, I had another chance to practice what I'm calling "Turning Around Negative Affirmations on the Fly" or "Catching" them when they spontaneously pop in the mind.
So, as I was out for a walk with two dogs, and the irony of this is that the weather today could not be more spectacular, I "caught" myself saying this:
In some ways that's what makes this kind of a negative affirmation so destructive. Because it can be born from something small and end up, through its negative vibratory, negative emotional patterns, building like a snowball and causing really big problems in your life.
That's why you got to nip them in the bud. So I proceeded to think about how to turn this negative "program" around. And this brings up a good practical point that may be helpful to you in this exercise: Sometimes, such as in this case, there's no one particular word that you can find an antonym for. In these cases, when all else fails, you just literally have to turn the statement around to it's exact opposite:
No.
But it sure did make me relax, allow the spirit to flow through me, rise above the situation, and see the big picture.
This brings up another point. When Affirmations can have an immediate effect, it's almost like a cherry on top, because the bigger point or effect this practice is having is this:
So, as I was out for a walk with two dogs, and the irony of this is that the weather today could not be more spectacular, I "caught" myself saying this:
"I can't take this anymore!"Now, what this referred to literally, was the annoyance one of the dogs was causing on the walk. The details don't matter. But as I thought about it some more, I realized the statement did refer to some other things in my life that were more general annoyances. But nothing that was earth shattering, or for that matter that 99% of the population doesn't have to deal with too.

In these cases, when all else fails, you just literally have to turn the statement around to it's exact opposite:
"I can take this evermore!"Now at first, one might think, such a statement in the face of an annoyance is merely an acquiesence, being weak and accepting. But when you say it with real feeling, it's quite the contrary: It strengthens you and energizes you! That's because you can literally feel a sort of "shake up" or "wake up" going on down in the Subconscious where the old way of doing things has caused complicity and stagnation of what would normally be a dynamic, energizing Psychic flow. What's fun and most effective is to say this to yourself, out loud if you can, with positive emotional feeling. You'll immediately break the chain. You'll immediately feel better. And what's more, the spirit will often gift you with "some extra sugar on top" meaning a couple of more postitive statements that accentuate and vivify the main statement. For me, at that moment, they were these:
"I can take this evermore! I'm loving every minute of it. It's like paradise all the time!"Can you imagine how I felt after that? I lot different, that's for sure! And a whole lot better. Did it make the dog in question stop what she was doing (stopping every few steps to sniff, sniff, sniff!)?
No.
But it sure did make me relax, allow the spirit to flow through me, rise above the situation, and see the big picture.

They are building to a crescendo, to a tipping point, rather like grains of sand on a scale, and when that last grain makes the scale "tip," i.e., your dominant thought, paradigm, and emotional vibration become positive, you're whole life will change.
