This past week I spent time with my two grandchildren in New York City. What a treat! When watching the 4 and 2.5 year old play, wearing my personal development coach hat, I observed how we build up our attitudes, habits and beliefs. These children not only mimicked everything we did (positive and negative) but repeated it over and over to their toys, used it in their play and sang it in stories. They believed without a doubt what they were saying and creating.
What makes this important for us to know as adults? It is a real live example of how we develop and learn affirmative and negative thinking. These observations once again reaffirmed for me, that our brains can be trained by using repetitive affirmations. The key is we need to believe our positive affirmations using the same type of innocence we used as children. This process of becoming more conscious of new thinking and letting go of previous beliefs is very difficult. However, the more you work on practice believing the more you will grow in consciousness.
