I wouldn’t have believed if it didn’t happen to me!
Last January I was working out with the Chicken Soup Guru, Mark Victor Hansen at the hotel gym we both stayed at. As we were working out, a new speaker (who is already super successful) came in to talk to Mark.
She talked about many things including her new home in Banff, Alberta.
She mentioned the architecture was so incredible, “you could just dieâ€
To which Mark quickly replied “liveâ€.
Then she was talking about her fence which was just featured in an outdoor magazine and again she mentioned that it’s so incredible you would die to see it. Again Mark quickly shot back “Liveâ€
She said, “I know Live, but die is just an expression I use and I don’t mean anything by it.†Mark said that your subconscious doesn’t know the difference so you should always speak in positive statements.
Why am I telling you this story?
Well, I am a new kid when it comes to this new kind of positive programming, so I haven’t really bought into the ‘believe it and it will happen’ concept, until last Friday, when a HUGE light bulb exploded in my head.
You see, I am proud to say I have perfect teeth. Not one cavity. I have always been very lucky. But about 18 months ago one of my teeth started causing me pain when I bit on it. They did X-Rays and found nothing so I lived with it. A couple of months ago I had another x-ray and they found a very tiny spot beneath the tooth and said looks like I will need a root canal. But the dentist didn’t understand why, as my teeth are perfect. Still he said we should get drilling, digging, and repairing soon.
I waited and was baffled. I have talked with a few health professionals who were also confused as to why I’d need a root canal.
Then came the choir and the lights from heaven!
I was writing a friend an email and I wrote down a phrase I have used a thousand times. The phrase is, “I’d rather have a root canal than go watch the kick boxing tournamentâ€
Holy Cow!
It struck me like lightening! I think I created the root canal problem because of that phrase!
Is it crazy or what?
I am not 100%, but it is the only explanation I can come up with. Now the best part is, since my discovery, I’ve been speaking out loud about my healthy teeth and the pain seems to have gone away. (But I haven’t tried popcorn yet)
I have since changed the phrase to, “I’d rather be a multi millionaire.â€
