#8 Some people believe you're a fake if you work on your personality. That is the only aspect I think would really startle people and make them uncomfortable with me. I feel reciting affirmations to make sure my personality is in alignment with my beliefs is no more fake than eating healthy and exercising regularly to make sure my body is at its best.
At first everything is very conscious and takes some willpower. Eventually it just happens. Standing up straight is something I used to constantly remind myself to do. Now I just do.
I read them daily and imagine them or situations in which I apply them. Learning through mental rehearsal is one of my favorite tools.
I wouldn't call them meditations, but eventually with persistence they happen naturally. I do meditation sporadically. Not so much the sit and be anymore as much as the do and be.
What do you mean by reducing valve?
#13 - The ideas behind my affirmations come from books on personality, psychology, self-help and buddhism. The ideas had to be worded by me to fit an affirmations format. I didn't find them in a book of affirmations, if that's what you're suggesting. Some of those affirmations are very unique and I'm confident you'd be hard pressed to find anything similar to them in any book or on any website. Some of them I'd be surprised if you couldn't find something at least very similar.
The idea of not living someone else's 'image' is actually very insightful. At first I thought your post was just negativity, the equivalent of an insult mixed with a curse. (Yo shit's unoriginal, your seed will bear no fruit, and you will have much unhappiness etc.)
On reading the second half a few times I see in hindsight I could have done much better in my original post. For someone else to take my affirmations and use them verbatim would be not be in their best interest. Although a few of the affirmations I believe would do well to exist in all personalities, many of them wouldn't. I believe if someone is going to make a list of affirmations or positive thoughts they continually reinforce, they should do so with as vast of a knowledge base as they can find and continually improve on them. That way they could pick and choose the ones that THEY like and live more in accordance with THEIR values.
In retrospect, posting the schematics behind the method so that it could be applied by the individual in a very individual way, versus the majority of my personal method, would likely have more benefit to others. That way, if they felt such a system would work for them, they could define their own version just based on the system itself and use it to better know themselves rather than attempt to live a personality someone else imagined and openly laid out the groundwork for. With that kind of schematic laid out others might also work on it and improve it in more and more ways, define successful universal affirmations, etc. The schematics of such a system leave so many more doors open for the individual than the system itself. You've legitimately inspired me.

As for the haters, I realize the "life as a game to be understood and played" is an unpopular thought process. Kind of takes the inherently defined bounds of real and unreal out of the picture and doing so openly makes a lot of people uncomfortable.
