Your mind cannot directly process a negative.When told not to do something, your mind has to picture doing it first before it can process not doing it. I'll prove it to you.
Don't think about your favorite color.
Don't think about relaxing on the beach on a perfect day.
Don't think about a pink elephant with blue polka dots and green wings.
Do you see what just happened? Even if it was only for a split second, you thought about each of those things because your mind processes information using images.
Since your unconscious mind does not distinguish between reality and imagination, if you are thinking "I don't want to fail this test" then you briefly experience failing the test. Not cool.
Work on telling yourself (and other people) what you WANT to happen.
Million-Dollar Question:
Are you focused on what you want
or what you don't want?

So true! The power of the subconscious mind is extraordinary and can make amazing things happen if it's used right! Great nugget Al.
Thanks, G-Prez!
