Hey Steve,
Thanks for posting this. I was actually just talking to a friend of mine the other day about how we stay positive and keep good energy flowing. Yesterday I started to hit a bit of a negative thought spiral because I haven’t heard back about any job offers yet and my parents are trying to tell me to move home, which I dread, so this has been helpful. I just typed up your 6 tips and I’m printing them out and putting them on my wall.
Hey Srini – your welcome :-)

[..YouTube..] This is surprisingly not boring like I thought it would be. I think that if I can think more positively then I can reach a lot of my goals. A lot of times when I think of something like out of the blue for no reason it usually happens almost right away.

[..YouTube..] dude, you are TOTALLY contradicting yourself…u created a video called “why affirmations DONT work” now you are totally suggesting affirmations. I had told you that they DO work for the reasons you suggest on THIS video with your “I am brilliant” affirmation. Affirmations DO work so I would consider changing the title of your anti affirmation video cuz u are going in 2 different directions here.

[..YouTube..] @BLUERAY1… I completely agree with you and I made a mistake. I was completely contradicting myself when I made that video because at that time I had very little if any evidence that affirmations worked… but more recently I have confirmed in my own personal experience that they do work when you engage all of the visual, auditory and kinesthetic modalities… That in a nutshell is why I have decided to take down the previous video…
