    >From research and, more importantly, experience, "negative"
    affirmations (i.e. "I am not...") do not work as effectively
    as "positive" affirmations (i.e. "I am..."). As I'm not a
    psychologist, I cannot explain but I have found that it is quite
    true. From my own experience, what seems to happen is that when
    someone affirms, for example, "I am not a drinker", the ego
    immediately replies "no, I am a drinker", and so the affirmation
    does not penetrate to the subconscious.

    However, a positive affirmation such as "I am tee-total" can be more
    effectively transmitted through to the subconscious.

    I recall that Bardon uses "I am a non-smoker" in the context of
    providing useful examples of affirmations. Personally, I consider
    this a negative affirmation (and it certainly did not work for me).
    I wonder whether there is a specific German word for a non-smoker
    that does not create a negative affirmation (and, perhaps, got lost
    in translation)?

    Kind regards

    Dan
