In my experience the skepticism you had before about affirmations is common -- when many people say something like "I'm powerful," they get an uncomfortable sensations somewhere in their bodies that they interpret to mean "no you're not." But I've found that if you experiment with thinking of that feeling as just energy arising in your body rather than a rejection of what you're saying, you can use the affirmation to push the edge of how much discomfort you can tolerate. -- Best, Chris Thanks for this post.

Reviews are always good. It really got me wondering what else I had missed in Abraham's book. Hi Andrea! :) I’m glad you liked the article. Reviews are always good.

I hadn't used the "Wouldn't It Be Nice If" tool for a while, but I think I'll pick it up again. I remember hearing the audio book of 'Ask...' and thinking this was one of Jerry's favorite tools. Mike Lyman,

Great article. I hadn’t used the “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If” tool for a while, but I think I’ll pick it up again. I remember hearing the audio book of ‘Ask…’ and thinking this was one of Jerry’s favorite tools.
