12. That is Absolutely Right

The human mind does not "hear" negatives, only positives. I don't mean to say the human mind is optimistic ... rather, if you want to quit smoking & think to yourself "Don't smoke, don't smoke. No cigarettes," your mind will hear only "Smoke, smoke. Cigarettes." Instead, as mentioned in the OP, you have to think of what you want: "Clean lungs, better wind, less expense."
