At The Water's Edge


Affirmations

Okay, cards on the table, I can't do affirmations. Some of the books in CLUES suggest affirmations but I just can't bring myself to do them. Somehow they don't appeal to me. Maybe it's laziness. Perhaps it's because I don't understand them although if you buy into some of the other ideas such as "reprogramming yourself" for NLP, or the laws of "intention" or creative visualisation they kind of make sense. It might be because the language I see used in them is too prosaic, too "flowery". Also, it all seems too easy somehow. Having said that I'm not willing to write it off completely. Maybe they work for some whereas they won't for me at the moment, just like some books work for me and not others at certain times.
