[Ailist] Double negatives = positive ?

[Christopher J Chapman]

Hello everyone,*

In the world of coaching, some of us are understanding that when trying 
to get affirmations to work some people are helped by positive 
statements of what is wanted and for some other people that just does 
not work.  I have learned that for highly intellectual, academic 
thinkers statements containing double negative words do the trick 
better.  Actually, having both statements together (but two separate 
statements) works best.  In my view having both positive words and 
double negative ones in two separate affirmations work the best is 
because this fits with what we have discussed previously on this list 
about AI and neuroscience.

Are their many of you who have explored this already and can you tell us 
more about what you noticed or learned?

Cheers!


Chris
