Toxic Thinking!!!!
I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age..
Not only did my dad understand that specific words affect our mental pictures, but he understood words are a powerful programming factor in lifelong success.
One particularly interesting event occurred when I was eight. As a kid, I was always climbing trees, poles, and literally hanging around upside down from the rafters of our lake house. So, it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old brain didn't realize the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was fun to be up so high.
My older cousin, Tammy, was also in the same tree. She was hanging on the first big limb, about ten feet below me. Tammy's mother also noticed us at the exact same time my dad did. About that time a huge gust of wind came over the tree. I could hear the leaves start to rattle and the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad's voice over the wind yell, "Bart, Hold on tightly." So I did. The next thing I know, I heard Tammy screaming at the top of her lungs, laying flat on the ground. She had fallen out of the tree.
I scampered down the tree to safety. My dad later told me why she fell and I did not. Apparently, Tammy's mother was not as an astute student of language as my father. When Tammy's mother felt the gust of wind, she yelled out, "Tammy, don't fall!" And Tammy did... fall.
My dad then explained to me that the mind has a very difficult time processing a negative image. In fact, people who rely on internal pictures cannot see a negative at all. In order for Tammy to process the command of not falling, her nine-year- old brain had to first imagine falling, then try to tell the brain not to do what it just imagined. Whereas, my eight-year-old brain instantly had an internal image of me hanging on tightly.
This is why people who try to stop smoking struggle with the ct of stopping smoking. They are running pictures all day of themselves smoking. Smokers are rarely taught to see themselves breathing fresh air and feeling great. The language itself becomes one barrier to success.
This concept is especially useful when you are attempting to break a habit or set a goal. You can't visualize not doing something. The only way to properly visualize not doing something is to actually find a word for what you want to do and visualize that. For example, when I was thirteen years old, I played for my junior high school football team. I tried so hard to be good, but I just couldn't get it together at that age. I remember hearing the words run through my head as I was running out for a pass, "Don't drop it!" Naturally, I dropped the ball.
My coaches were not skilled enough to teach us proper "self-talk." They just thought some kids could catch and others couldn't. I'll never make it pro, but I'm now a pretty good Sunday afternoon football player, because all my internal dialogue is positive and encourages me to win. I wish my dad had coached me playing football instead of just climbing trees. I might have had a longer football career.
Here is a very easy demonstration to teach your kids and your friends the power of a toxic vocabulary. Ask them to hold a pen or pencil. Hand it to them. Now, follow my instructions carefully. Say to them, "Okay, try to drop the pencil." Observe what they do.
Most people release their hands and watch the pencil hit the floor.You respond, "You weren't paying attention. I said TRY to drop the pencil.
Now please do it again." Most people then pick up the pencil and pretend to be in excruciating pain while their hand tries but fails to drop the pencil.
The point is made.
If you tell your brain you will "give it a try," you are actually telling your brain to fail. I have a "no try" rule in my house and with everyone I interact with. Either people will do it or they won't. Either they will be at the party or they won't. I'm brutal when people attempt to lie to me by using the word try. Do they think I don't know they are really telegraphing to the world they have no intention of doing it but they want me to give them brownie points for pretended effort? You will never hear the words "I'll try" come out of my mouth unless I'm teaching this concept in a seminar.
If you "try" and do something, your unconscious mind has permission not to succeed. If I truly can't make a decision I will tell the truth.
"Sorry John. I'm not sure if I will be at your party or not. I've got an outstanding commitment. If that falls through, I will be here. Otherwise, I will not. Thanks for the invite."
People respect honesty. So remove the word "try" from your vocabulary.
My dad also told me that psychologists claim it takes seventeen positive statements to offset one negative statement. I have no idea if it is true, but the logic holds true. It might take up to seventeen compliments to offset the emotional damage of one harsh criticism.
These are concepts that are especially useful when raising children.
Ask yourself how many compliments you give yourself daily versus how many criticisms. Heck, I know you are talking to yourself all day long. We all have internal voices that give us direction.
So, are you giving yourself the 17:1 ratio or are you shortchanging yourself with toxic self-talk like, "I suck. I'm fat. Nobody will like me. I'll try this diet. I'm not good enough. I'm so stupid. I'm broke, etc. etc."
If our parents can set a lifetime of programming with one wrong statement, imagine the kind of programming you are doing on a daily basis with your own internal dialogue. Here is a list of Toxic Vocabulary words.
Notice when you or other people use them.
Ø But
Ø Try
Ø If
Ø Might
Ø Would Have
Ø Should Have
Ø Could Have
Ø Can't
Ø Don't
But: negates any words that are stated before it. If: presupposes that you may not. Would have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen.
Should have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen (and implies guilt.)
Could have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen but the person tries to take credit as if it didhappen.
Try: Presupposes failure.
Might: It does nothing definite. It leaves options for your listener. Can't / Don't: These words force the listener to focus on exactly the opposite of what you want. This is a classic mistake that parents and coaches make without knowing the damage of this linguistic error.
Examples:
Toxic phrase: "Don't drop the ball!"
Likely result: Drops the ball
Better language: "Catch the ball!"
Toxic phrase: "You shouldn't watch so much television."
Likely result: Watches more television.
Better language: "I read too much television makes people stupid. You might find yourself turning that TV off and picking up one of those books more often!"
Exercise: Take a moment to write down all the phrases you use on a daily basis or any Toxic self-talk that you have noticed yourself using.
Write these phrases down so you will begin to catch yourself as they occur and change them.

Hello Doctor ...
The article was a good one. Yet another example of the effects of Negative Thinking. Through childhood most of the times, we have been hearing the DON'Ts more often than DO's.
The overall effect is obviously pretty negative. Also, the 'curious' mind inside tends to and wants to find out 'what if the things is done which is prohibited' ..... And this continues right through our life .
We tend to do the 'not to be done' thing atleast once .... Call it 'experiential learning' . . .
So ... what should be the approach of Parents ... tell the kids positively about things OR let them learn through experience .... OR a mix of both ... but then which should be dominant ... positive teaching or experiential...
how about the same question in a corporate setting .... Do you teach a new joinee or allow him to make mistakes .... which mode should be dominant ....
Allowing to make mistakes will give confidence to the human resource adn they will develop a better Risk taking ability. Cautious Route to positive teaching (domnantly) will make them over-cautious , waiting for instruction, losing their own ability to take risks (in the long run ....)
Positive Teaching is far better than Negative one ...
But is it good enough ??? Is it better than Experiential Learning ....
Try as much to tell a child to stay away from FIRE .....
He will not do so untill 'burnt' once . . . .

Dear friends,
Namaskar.
The purpose of my yesterday's post was to stimulate more responses in this topic. I am happy that Yogita and Sho00onya have responded. I am sorry that I had overlooked the response of Chittaranjan. But let me join with CHR first and I shall come to respond to the points mentioned by Sho00onya later.
Thoughts affect the mind, body and course of life is known to mankind from time immemorial. But scientific application of this knowledge is very recent. Now you can find mind, body medicine as a distinct discipline to balance your body chemistry only by thoughts and company name is emerging with "thought technology". I wonder if any wave catcher in India joins the fray. Since this is a vast field let me concentrate on ACCIDENT PREVENTION only because CHR starts the topic with the illustration of accident.
If you are a fatalist you will atribute the cause of accidents to fate and if you are a rationalist you will attribute it to negligence and/or recklessness. Let me agree with both with the substitution of the words absent mindedness or unmindfulness for negligence.
Accidents cause loss of lives, limbs, money/wealth, reputation and freedom. This does not require elaboration. We can just look back to our past and every one of us will surely agree with the damages named. But are you looking for a prescription of ACCIDENT PREVENTION? If so, here it is.
1. Are you about to cross through an accident probable zone? If yes, then ask yourself-"SAFE?". Wait for the answer from within yourself. If you hear "yes" then proceed.
2. Whenever you discover yourself that absentmindedness has attacked you, please reverberate this REALIZATION paraphrase:
I AM ABSENTMINDED.
Then go to the TRANSFORMATION paraphrase.
LET ME BECOME ALERT/MINDFUL.
This will revitalise your whole system and day by day you will become more and more alert/mindful.
3. Learn the following mantra and reverberate as many times as you can every day and see the changes.
LET US ATTAIN PERFECTION AND PLEASURES IN THE CONSTANT FLOW OF THE MOST FAVOURABLE DECISIONS AND HAPPENINGS TO US AND EXTINCTION OF ALL UNFAFOURABLE DECISIONS AND HAPPENINGS AGAINST US instantly, perfectly, permanently and spontaneously.
It does not matter whether you are a fatalist or rationalist. The prescription will work for both.

Jogeshwar.

Dear Sho00nya,
Namaskar.
Yours is a very nice question. Almost every one suffers from this dilemma.
There are several aspects to your question. Let us discuss what is positive and what is negative first.
One of my ex-boss used to say "Evry day I read Dale Carnegi's book and determine not to be upset but as soon as I come to the office I become upset"
2nd example. One of my colleagues was having erratic BP problem. So he advised him "do shavasana and think 'I am dead. T am dead......'" After a few months I asked the colleague whether he was doing it. He rplied "No".
I asked "why?". He replied-"May be that I may really die"
These examples prove that facts remaining the same interpretation can be any thing depending upon the interests and attitudes of the interpreter. So Chrles Skinner says " A person's perspectives, his interpretation of units and segments of experience as well as totalites in life are gravely affected by his interests and attitudes."
As far as I feel if we interprete in favour of our interests then it is fine and if we interprete as per our attitudes then we go on wrangling.
So, for myself I have made a little amendment of the expression-positive and favourable phases of biorhythms. Naturally if we practise to promote positive and favourable phases of biorhythms then more and more we become comfortable instead of entering into the dilemma of positive and negative thinking.
Then every learning becomes experiential, that is, whatever propositions we get from others we put them into test by hypothetico-deductive logic. This, I think, is the best way to adapt and grow.

I have learnt about positive thinking from so many examples.
Thanks a lot for helping to be more productive in my career.
I would suggest you'll to send more examples as this.As we can learn from others experinces.

Dear friends,
Namaskar.
I am very very happy that this subject is getting momentum. I hope and trust as the discussion proceeds, we shall unfold various facets of the topic. It is pleasant to discuss the topic but practice and success are all the more pleasurable. Practice requires necessary care to achieve success. In this context let me tell you two events from mythology.
Kumbhakarna, the brother of Ravana, was doing tapasya for Indrasana but when his Ishta appeared he sought nidrasana and he got it to his disadvantage. So also king Sagar was doing tapasya to get 60000 sutaas(daughters) but when his Ishta appeared, he sought 60000 sutas(sons) and he got them to great consequences. So you will have to be that carefull in scrutinising your thoughts.
One of my course participant who is a senior law enforcement personnel asked me after my talk-"Is it to achieve the goal by hook or crook?"
I replied- "No my dear! Hook and crook does not apply to nature. Apparently it may apply with your fellow beings. So never think of over riding nature. You will certainly be penalised. And if you are already suffering from any penalty then this is just due to your hook and crook attitude".
