All new agers are familiar with the concept of Affirmations or Positive Power thoughts and many have successfully implemented them into their daily lives to promote their own spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellness. That is all well and good but what I personally find fearful is the lack of knowledge people have about Negative Power thoughts. Never heard of it right? Wrong. We all have used Negative Power thoughts on ourselves at some point in our lives and continue to do so unless we become consciously aware of ourselves doing it. E.g. Have you ever come across something that you find challenging and without a second thought think to yourself "I am not smart enough or strong enough or socially accepted enough to do this". This is a negative power thought. Why did I say a negative POWER thought instead of simply a negative thought? This is because these negative thoughts hold a large amount of your personal power, the same as Positive power thoughts are infused by your own power. You have no idea how often you use Negative Power thoughts on a regular basis. This is simply due to the fact that it is a subconcious act fed off of your low self esteem or self worth. The next step is to catch yourself in the act of using Negative Power thoughts and then counter it with an Affirmation or Positive Power thought. It is a good idea to keep a small journal of your affirmations as you go along so that it is easier to keep track of and over time it will help diminish those Negative power thoughts that skirt around your conscious mind.
