Oh so true, and sadly for the moment I am neither speaking in affirmations nor taking any action at all! Thank God it’s almost Jan 1 although that’s just postponing what I need to do NOW!

After you complete an action and your brain “says” something to you, you are actually creating feelings from your actions such as “adreneline” then your affirming that very thought to yourself.. Affirmations can be utilized before or after an action. It really is only a simple choice.

Did I miss the post where you said you would disappear from the face of the earth for weeks? I miss reading you.

Loved Pirsig’s “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” A very thoughtful writer.

“Imagine James Bond. Do you ever see him muttering under his breath “I am happy, confident, and attractive.”?

That’s a hilarious image and a great idea for a movie – an under-confident/neurotic James Bond-type figure!

I hate affirmations. You are right – an action is what matters the most, especially in crushing your fears.

Vlad, stepping outside of your comfort zone is a lesson we can all learn. By taking action, you are truly testing your skills and capabilities, thus making progress. An affirmation tends to act as a reminder. BTW, I have just nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award, it is basically a pay it forward for all of your efforts.

@Ben:

You’re welcome, and you’re welcome. I think life coaching is a perfect carreer for me. You get to kick people on the bum, and they pay you for it.

@John:

Spot on.
