How negative thoughts hurt our bodies.

[OhMari]

Find someone to try this out on.

1. Have your dd, ds, or husband or a friend, stand tall and put out their left arm straight out to the left.

2. Push down on their arm and have that person try to resist you.

3. They will of course resist your pushing down.

4. Tell them to say 3 times: I am a bad person.

5. After the say it, have them stick their arm out again, and push on it.

6. They cannot hold the pressure you are applying, or they cannot resist you.

7. Have the person say: I am a good person 3 times.

8. Have them stick their arm out again and push on it.

9. They can resist your pushing down on it again.


I was told we are consumed with guilt, bad thoughts 70% of the day and we carry the same bad thoughts from day to day. It is wrecking havoc with our bodies. The point is to try to have good thoughts, be a happier person and see the good side of people. Try to get the stress out of our lives.
My friend went to a seminar that had the publisher from "Chicken Soup for the Soul". She told me the seminar was really worth going.

Oh my goodness! It worked!

My DH is 6'2" (think football player) and I am a tiny lil pipsqueek at barely 5' and I was able to push his arm down after he said "I am a bad person" but not before or after he said "I am a good person".

AND.. when I was able to push his arm down.. he said *I* hurt *him*.

whooooaaaa.

Some version of this works when you eat/drink a sugary snack. It was demonstrated on my family once when we sought the advice of an allergist. We truly were weaker after the sugar! This may only be true for people who are a bit more sensitive to sugar than others, though (which we are) - not sure if it works on everyone.

Neat trick! I shall have to try it on DH tonight!

It works with food / cigarettes / good things / bad things - too.

I think it's some kinda tricky mind thing....
