A long time ago, we used to sign a song that began with the words: "School days, school days, wonderful golden rule days.
Remember those Three R's? There is another set of three R's which can change your "sort of - kind of" into "Absolutely Positively:" Recognize, Refute, and Reprogram.
Recognize: Before we can change anything, we have to become aware of what needs to be changed. And our "sort of - kind of " tends to wear costumes that make it hard to recognize. For example, how about the phrase "yeah, but?"
"Yeah, buts" are strong negative affirmations. (I am filled with glorious heath and energy -- yeah, but do I feel so lousy? OR yeah, but I've just been diagnosed with cancer. Here's another one: I am a money magnet, and have plenty to share and spare -- yeah, but how am I going to meet my bills this month? I am one with God and all is well -- yeah, but God seems to be sleeping this week!)
When, then games are procrastination devices. (I believe that what we give comes back to us multiplied - and when I win the lottery or get that big contract or promotion, then I'll start really tithing! I believe that God is the source of all good, and when I buy that new home, then I'll be really happy!)
"Mismatching words and actions" occurs when what we say and what we do don't match. (For example, many companies have excellent Mission and Values Statements up on their walls, but the day-to-day actions of the leadership are totally opposite what these statements proclaim.)
Refute: We refute when we refuse to give any power to other people's attitudes. (For example, There is no way your attitude will change my attitude!) We can also refuse to give power to the appearance of lack, or illness, or fear. (For example, we can say, "There is no deficiency in my experience." OR "This perceived health challenge has no power over me.")
The denials we are talking about do not mean the same thing as the psychological term "in denial." According to Webster, to deny means to declare to be not true; to declare as utterly false. Denials are our ability to put our error thoughts in their proper place. Denials are a way of talking back, refusing to give power to something 'outside' of us that seems controlling or restrictive.
Reprogram : Whenever we deny power to something, it is extremely important that we follow up with a strong affirmation! We must fill the void created by denials with powerful statements of Truth. In the Gospel of Luke 11:24-26, Jesus shares a parable about a man who cleaned his house and eliminated an evil spirit. However, when the spirit returned and, finding the "house" swept clean, decided to move back in, and brought along seven of his cronies, all more evil than he. This is just a reminder to us of how critical it is to solidify our beliefs and reprogram our thinking, by following up denials with powerful affirmations!
According to Emilie Cady, in Lessons in Truth, "to affirm anything is to assert positively that it is so, even in the face of all contrary evidence Deny the appearance of evil; affirm good. Deny weakness; affirm strength. Deny any undesirable condition, and affirm the good you desire."
The critical ingredient for success is to claim your affirmations with power -- with faith! When you use a lackadaisical approach, you are simply wishing. When you affirm in a manner that says "Without a Doubt," from the strength of your Christ consciousness, you are speaking with a voice of knowing faith and Truth!
We attended our granddaughter's graduation from the pre-Brownies group, Daisies, and enjoyed looking through the gift her leaders had given each girl: an album filled with pictures capturing the events they had participated in during the year. One of the pictures showed the girls lying on the ground, in front of a fire truck, with the words "Stop, Drop, Roll" above the photo. Our granddaughter proudly told us that it was a phrase the firefighters taught them, so they would know what to do if they ever caught on fire: Stop, Drop, Roll.
It connected with us as a reinforcement of these 3 R's: STOP -- Recognize the "sort of-kind of's" that dilute your spiritual growth and happiness; DROP -- Release thoughts and actions that are out of sync with Truth by denying their power; and ROLL -- Reaffirm the transformative power of the beliefs, the Truths, of spiritual principles! Make the 3 R's a regular part of your life, so you change your "sort of-kind of" into '"Absolutely Positively!".
