The horror of being human is that we see all around us people who aren't utilizing their ability to do that.

And the negative voice is patterning your synapsis to look for the negative. So, yes, changing that thought is changing your mind.

The key phrase here is "by its nature." That's why replacement statements work so well for some people. (Tomorrow I’m going to blog about using laughter as another type of replacement.)

Find someone else who's alone in the room and tell her (or him) how pretty she looks. <BR/><BR/>I've also worked affirmations.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Allyn.
