Many would say the key to manifesting is to speak those things as if they are already in existence. Success must first start in your mind or else you will never feel as if you own it.
Arguably, most people would agree that speaking positively is a way to help us focus on getting the things we want and building the life we desire. The Secret and Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich discuss this concept a great deal.
However, there is one thing that many people get wrong about speaking positively and having a positive mindset. Most people are really good at the big things. For example, lots of people create vision boards or success journals where they record and track their goals. Others are great at outlining the vision they have for their future selves. The thing is, our success is more a product of the small things we do every day.
The aspect of positive speaking people tend to get wrong or miss is to speak in the affirmative. This means that people, when asked a question, will instinctively respond with what they don’t want or with the opposite of what they want. An example of this is when asked what you want in a relationship, where did your mind go? Did you immediately begin listing the traits that you don’t want in a match? If so, you’re not alone when it comes to speaking in the negative.
In this week’s post, I explain why you do this and what you should do instead.
