Lesson 13 - Lessons in Positivity
Abstract: Positivity messaging of SCM by using Affirmation works when we follow some conditions. There are seven prescribed conditions. We will be going through them in this lesson.
Conditions for getting the affirmation planted in the SCM
It is true that the SCM is listening to what we say to ourselves and to others and acts on what we say on its own. An affirmation works for sure when we have learnt to talk correctly to ourselves and to others. When we are generally doing this then we find need for affirmation once in a while for a special purpose. It is in such times of need that we need to 'tell' the SCM to deliver what we want. We need to follow supporting conditions so that the affirmation gets planted.
We can start with addressing our mind. Hey my mind. Listen. (SCM is a part of our mind) I want you to act on what I am now proceediing to say. "The meaning of the word daily wages in hindi is coming to me." Now we need to follow some conditions so that it reaches the SCM for sure. Here are the conditions.
- Being Relaxed - It is possible that our need makes us stressed, anxious, eager, worried, confused, desiring strongly or any other. Knowing this we work on ourselves to be relaxed. This is done by sitting comfortably, breathing in and out 3 to ten times slowly keeping our eyes closed. We proceed to release the affirmation when we find we are comfortable and relaxed. 'Not to worry' is the formulation too.
- Being Sincere - Sincerity is displayed by being serious, modest and honest in what we are doing.
- Promoting Mood - A promoting mood is established by believing that the affirmation is already working for us.
- Being Child-like - Being child-like is perhaps the most important component of messaging. Why because a child believes in fantasies, fairy tales, stories, cartoons to be true and real. It even acts out some roles that characters play in them. They then become real. So messaging in Positivity also gets one to enter a fantasy world for a while.
- Being Enthusiastic - Enthusiasm means being energetic and committed to what we are saying. We proceed to examine what we have said and how we have said if we find that it doesn't work.
- Structuring Affirmation as if accomplished - See the change in sentence structure to know what as if accomplished means. I want to reach the station on time. Better to say - I am reaching the station on time. Still better to say - I see myself at the station at 10 am today.
- Planting when in Alpha State - Alpha state is one of four states of consciousness. We pass through this state just as we are falling asleep and also when we have just woken up. Alpha state is also available when we are drousy. We can become drousy at will through practice. Alpha state is also present when we are relaxed like when we are day dreaming. Also when we are resting by our mother. We can tap these moments to plant our affirmation
Summary: In this lesson we have read the explanation of the seven conditions that support planting of an affirmation.
