Do You Remember Being Made To Write 100 Lines in School?

I was thinking about this subject while on a very relaxing train journey just the other day. From all the learning and personal development I have been doing over the last couple of years, I am very aware of how powerful positive affirmations are. My main 'inspire-res' are Wayne Dyer & Louise hay when it comes to affirmation stuff, and I am so grateful to them for sharing their knowledge with me & the rest of the World.

Affirmations are powerful even if you just keep thinking them, but if you write them down they become even more powerful, it reiterates the thought, because you have focused enough to write the words down, and now you can see the words as well, read them out loud, and then you can hear them too, can you see why it is more powerful?

While I was thinking about the affirmations my mind wandered off to my school days, which were certainly not the best days of my life (another story there!!) going back to  junior school, I can remember on several occasions have to write 'lines' do you remeber them? If we were 'naughty' we had to write out 100 times, something along the lines of " I must not daydream" (as if that was naughty!!!!)(Ask Steven Spielberg lol)      "I must not speak unless spoken too"    A very old fashioned thing, BUT, it is what we got taught as kids in those days (Im only 48 by the way). The teacher probably meant for us not to speak  in the class room, but the words would always be remebered by the child, and they would have written it down (which means they have thought it & seen it) ONE HUNDRED times, can you just imagine how powerful that is? and the effect it would have on the child every time he or she wanted to say something or ask for something, those words would their in the subconsious.... stopping them speaking out (anyone with thyroid problems!!!!).

I started to think then, that if some kids had been given 100 lines, something like....

"I don't deserve....................... OMG How damaging would be!  When we say/see/hear something over and over like that, it becomes a belief, and that is the 'truth' that we live by forever, unless we become aware of it and begin to consciously change it.  Your conscious mind may not be aware these old negative affirmations any more , but your sub-conscious mind sure as hell is! And that is what led me to write this blog post..

Can you remember what '100 lines' you ever wrote at school?  Let me know, im very interested in any feedback here.

Thank heavens for therapies like EFT that we can use to reverse these limiting beliefs!

I hope this post inspires some of you to reflect on any limiting believes, or false premises you may have, and start to clear them away.... moving forwards

Don't forget to let me know what your '100 lines' where (if you have any of course!)

Bye for now ((((Smiles)))))
