from the first article i basically only liked the part you quoted. even though it reminded me of that song by Neil Diamond... which is not exactly a positive affirmation....

I am..." I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all, not
Even the chair

the rest of the article i found odd. all these example affirmations about money and richness, felt so materialistic. kinda reminded me of zig ziegler's motivational tapes (for salespeople).

---------------------

in contrast, i appreciated the second article a great deal. seemed more wellrounded and the examples were not so money money money focused. i found it very clear and helpful in practical ways.

thanks you for finding and posting these.

waves who generally won't be talking to chairs... although i do sometimes apologize to inanimate objects if i bump into them... it's a reflex!
