Okay G, Being your favorite nonconformist HU pal, I’m going to go way out on a limb here and be totally honest. I do not like affirmations very much. Not the ones you’re supposed to recite to yourself everyday day hoping that your mind will somehow adopt what you’re saying like brainwashing. When I try it, it feels forced and fake. Either I know an affirmation about myself is true or I know it’s not. If it’s something I should work on then I do but not by repetitive speaking to myself. My b.s. meter inside me goes through the roof. It feels like mind numbing brainwashing. I am meditation and affirmation resistant! What am I missing and why does it work for so many others?

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Subliminal affirmations may work for you. Your subconscious hears them and you dont, they are more powerful. We lost today 2,1 ?????????

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

All right, I do understand the philosophy of it but my subconscious has a b.s. meter too Lol. I’m totally defective I know😁 Sorry about Bury … better luck next week.🤞Both my teams won so I’m good today except for the 4;30 AM start time. Have a nice evening. xx

City always win !!

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

Well since I’m a an American we have no neighborhood loyalty to contend with. I support the best so I’m never let down. See that’s a positive affirmation right there. 😆

City cant beat Burys record 6.0 win in the FA cup final !!!!!!!!

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

Not yet anyway! All in time. 😁

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Never conceded a goal in all the rounds also, now that will take some doing. our record is safe!!

[gerrerd in reply to gerrerd]

We also beat them 2,1 in the 70s when they were FA cup winners, in the league cup. The last time we played them was in the Champion ship. 1997/98 season we won 1,0 at Maine Road, Citys team in the 70s was Bell signed from Bury, Sumerbee, Lee, Marsh. We were in Div 3 now Div 1. Good old days I remember them well. Stood on the Kippax a few times.

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

I concede! You win 😁 But never say never. Don’t worry we’ll both be long gone before record is broken, or before Bury ever gets to another FA Cup Final 🤣

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

I plan to live until I am 120. We will World Champions by then.2075

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

Haha.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

If anyone can live to 120 it’s you G

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

They sacked the manager today. !!

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

I’m assuming this is a good thing.

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Depends on who replaces him! x

[mizzou7016 in reply to Hidden]

It doesn't work for me all the time...I struggle some with self affirmations.....what I strive for is to have positive affirmations from others.....validation of what i'm doing....Right now i have the mantra that as long as the lord grants me another day to wake up....I can tackle anything....doesn't mean my patience isn't tested.....just means that i know what i'm about

[gerrerd in reply to mizzou7016]

Dont give your power away by asking something outside of you. You have the power within.

[Hidden in reply to mizzou7016]

I don’t mind thinking about them just don’t like speaking them out loud. Breaks my concentration. Your Cowboys did unbelievably great last week btw, what a game👍 Hope you’re doing well.

[mizzou7016 in reply to Hidden]

I'm doing ok.....struggling a little bit with certain things....but overall in a good spot...just ready for this week to be done..

[Hidden in reply to mizzou7016]

Me too … hang in there buddy.

[mizzou7016]

I know my worth....most of the time....and i'm getting better at not caring about what other people think....but i still struggle with caring about what others think....it is a struggle because sometimes my well being is determined by the actions of another
