The Truth About Negative Commands (don't Read This!)

Written by Laurie Kristensen


Everyday when I read promotional emails and advertisements, or listen to television commercials and dialogue in shows and movies, or hear people around me in everyday life use commands such asrepparttar following examples, I feel dismayed for them.

This is because I understand something that many others do NOT!

And, since learning what I now understand, while I am BOMBARDED every day from all directions with commands like those listed below, in all their variations, I feel worse and worse for not speaking up!

I feel especially badly for all those advertisers out there who are ignorant about this, because I also realize they are often sincerely excited about what they are sharing and are working very hard to attractrepparttar 105642 attention of others.

Examples:

- Don't miss this [fill inrepparttar 105643 blank]!

- Don't delay!

- Don't forget to be there!

- Don't forget to stop and buy milk [or pick uprepparttar 105644 dry cleaning -- fill inrepparttar 105645 blank]!

- Do not forget to be on time!

- You can't miss out on this opportunity!

- Don't be afraid to ASK!

- Would you like to [fill inrepparttar 105646 blank]? If so, don't wait another minute! Order Your [fill inrepparttar 105647 blank] NOW!

- Don't Live With Depression [fill inrepparttar 105648 blank]

And so on...

This is because your subconscious mind works in strange ways. I learned this while training to become a hypnotherapist.

*********

FACT: Your subconscious mind cannot recognize a negative!

As a result, when a person reads or hears statements similar torepparttar 105649 above, their subconscious mind actually understandsrepparttar 105650 command as follows.

Examples:

- Miss this [fill inrepparttar 105651 blank]!

- Delay!

- Forget to be there!

- Forget to stop and buy milk [or pick uprepparttar 105652 dry cleaning -- fill inrepparttar 105653 blank]!

- Forget to be on time!

- Miss out on this opportunity!

- Be afraid to ASK!

- Would you like to [fill inrepparttar 105654 blank]? If so, WAIT another minute! Order Your [fill inrepparttar 105655 blank] NOW! (In this case, you might think it's okay becauserepparttar 105656 negative statement is followed by a positive request for action... but keep reading, you'll see how it can be improved!)

- Live With Depression [or, fill inrepparttar 105657 blank]

Whenever I have tried to explain this to those who use this type of command in their advertising or their everyday language, they ALWAYS say, "I'm trying to create a sense of URGENCY."

But research is absolute on this...

The subconscious mind CANNOT recognize a negative command.

And so, anytime you use a statement that includes a negative command, you are actually givingrepparttar 105658 OPPOSITE command forrepparttar 105659 action or results you desire!
