I look forward to all your new posts written in the affirmative.

Most people have learned to speak in the negative. Often when I am talking to a friend and I am giving them the gift of honesty about their negative conditioning expressing itself through negative communication, I will ask them to restate what they just said in the affirmative. It always gives them pause, but when they get it, they become much more effective communicators.

Example: Is it best to say someone is a fool or to say you seem foolish? Better yet, the affirmative would be:
The wise person will do ____ and _____. Which would you want to hear?

Fool=negative/disrespectful

wise=respectful/uplifting and affirmative

Awareness and positive action on this level is healthy for everyone.
(Only high-order thinkers will bother to change their language to the affirmative. Most people are too lazy.)
