Care with negatives - DONT's
Be careful when using don'ts in front of other words. The brain has to naturally concentrate on the words that follow the don't and therefore we may focus on what we don't want to happen unless we are consciously aware of what we are doing.
I was playing golf at Moor Park on Saturday with a very competitive friend of mine, Peter. I was winning so on the 14th tee, a particularly difficult hole, he said to me "There are people watching, whatever you do DON'T MESS IT UP. Aware of what he was trying to do to me, I kept thinking positive thoughts of how I was going to hit the ball straight down the fairway - and thats what I did. It wasn't easy to keep the brain positive with that sort of pressure.
Care with your thoughts - as Napoleon Hill said "You get what you think about"
