Thanks Andy, I enjoyed that quote at the end 🙂

I would agree that positive thinking could have the potential to blur the vision, muffle the hearing and numb the senses, in a sense however innocent the intention of the positive thinker 🙂

I saw Total Wipeout at the weekend, you know that water based obstacle course? Anyhow, there was a woman on the program who was portrayed as a ‘black belt in positive thinking’. She came last in the compettition and all along was talking aloud to herself “your doing so well, keep going” etc, etc.

My point being she probably thought she was doing well, however for someone to go through a load of situations with such an attitude would fall short of themselves, by that I mean not realising what they did well and what they could improve and how – hense why we have the ‘well formed outcomes’ in Hypnotherapy and NLP.

Another question maybe to consider the following a former mentor said to me regarding positive thinking:

“If you have two halves of a rabbit what do you have? some would say a whole rabbit. I say you have a dead rabbit!”
