We all know the differences between men and women are like night and day and when it comes to relationships, it’s more of the same.

If you are plagued by negative thoughts and a “bad” Attitude it’s time to take a look at your early programming and decide whether you want to exercise the power of choice and break free. Most people don’t feel good about themselves based on their early programming – the thoughts they believe about themselves. The power of this programming is clearly demonstrated when we look at how one of the most intelligent animals in the animal kingdom is trained. Elephants in captivity are trained at an early age, not to roam.

Are they your own thoughts or other people’s thoughts that you think are your own thoughts? Thinking is very useful in every area of life, but people go too far with it.

When you repeat an affirmation, with which you are not in agreement, there is often a greater or smaller subconscious resistance, which defeats the affirmation. In cases of low self-esteem, difficult situations, failure or depression, your mind is often focused on your current situation, and you most probably find it difficult, or almost impossible to think of a different, positive situation. In such cases, which are quite common, while repeating a positive affirmation you repeat the words, but your mind is aware of your current negative situation.

Humans are decision making animals. From the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep you make choices.

It prevents us from experiencing the gift of someone's kind words, and it stops the other person from experiencing the gift of making someone else feel good. So why is the gift of receiving a compliment so hard to accept?

Anxiety is a perfectly natural response to a perceived threatening situation, and it is inbred and rightly so for our survival. The problem arises when our bodily reaction is disproportionate to the event and so the fight or flight response kicks in and we experience panic.
