Review of 369 Manifestation Journal for Black Women

 

I read this book out of curiosity. It looks great, it’s a good size, and I like the cover and the line drawings inside.  I like the way it has been produced.  Sometimes self=published books are not produced to a high standard, but this one has been.  

This is a workbook on using affirmations.  Each day, there is a new affirmation.  Each page has ample space for writing out your affirmations.

The author, Limitless Abundance, favours the 3-6-9 method of writing an affirmation three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon and nine times in the evening.  She states that this approach is based on numerology.

I know nothing about numerology and have no experience of using the 3-6-9 method so, who knows?  It might be highly effective.  I do know a lot about affirmations, though, and have written three books about them myself.  One thing I know is, they really work.  

The book contains beautiful affirmations - one for each day as well as monthly ones.  For example:

I AM A BROWN SKIN BEAUTY WHO KNOWS HER WORTH.

I POSSESS INNER BEAUTY, STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE.

I AM FREE TO CREATE THE LIFE I DESIRE TO LIVE.

I AM POWERFUL, MELANATED AND

CAPABLE OF RUNNING MY WORLD.

You will notice all of the affirmations are in the present tense, which is the way to do it. I wasn't too sure about the ones for turning around negativity, though.  I was always taught to stick to positive language when using affirmations.  

One problem I have with the book is that, as it is a low-content book, it does not go into any detail about working with affirmations.  In my experience, and that of the hundreds of students I have worked with, when we start to use affirmations or, indeed, make any move of positive progress towards a goal, we immediately become aware of what is getting in the way.  This often shows up as resistance. 

So, for example, we start thinking, “I don’t believe the affirmations”, “this isn’t going to work”, or something similar.  Or we find other things to do that stop us from doing our affirmations.  Or we just don’t want to use the process anymore.

It would be great if she went into this more, and gave us information on how to address this very common problem.  Actually, although it feels like a problem, it’s really just part of the process.

Another criticism I have is that the author doesn’t talk about the healing process.  She has a few affirmations about letting go of the past, but this often requires deeper work.

Many, perhaps most, people have been through trauma at some point in our lives.  Black people have experienced specific types of trauma, and our trauma is often inter-generational, meaning we pass it on from one generation to the next until we heal it  This book does not and cannot address this, and I think it is vital to do so if we are serious about manifesting what we want.

Final verdict: This is a lovely book which, although it has some limitations, may help you with your manifestation process.

Did you know that, long before he became the greatest, Muhammad Ali called himself “The Greatest”?  

Obviously, it took many hours of hard work, over the course of many years, for him to become – and remain – World Heavyweight Champion. But his success began in his mind. This shows us the power of words, the power of thought, the power of the human mind – i.e., your mind.

I was joined by two awesome sistas, Shaunes Richardson of  State of the Black Parent and Dr. Stephanie Myers of Black Women for Positive Change. Black Women for Positive Change are organising a Week of Nonviolence 16th-23rd August.  

Shaunes, in particular, spoke about some of the difficulties and challenges we face when working to bring about positive change. This work is not easy!

I wrote about Nonviolent Communication, NVC, in Success Strategies for Black People and in my new ebook, Affirmations for Parents.

I am passionate about this work because it could save your life, and it could save your child's life. NVC is saving lives all over the world.  

We can change the world.  And positive change starts with us - our minds, our hearts, our families, our communities.

Which Children Are Most Likely to Bring Weapons to School?

Is Your Child at Risk of Knife Crime?

I saw this blog recently:  Do You Know Which Students Are Most Likely to Bring Weapons to School? 

It's the children who are being bullied, or at risk of being buillied - the ones who feel they have to defend themselves - who are most likely to take a knife or gun to school.  

This is true in the UK as well.  They discussed this on The Wright Stuff a couple of weeks ago.  And I know someone in London whose son was running away from a bully, who ended up being arrested and imprisoned on a "joint enterprise" charge.  This is just one way our Black youth are filling up the prisons.  One more way the criminal justice system targerts our communities.  

We MUST help our young people find nonviolent solutions to these problems.  If you have read my book Success Strategies for Black People, you know that Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can help to turn situations around - including situations of extreme violence.  

If your child is at risk of becoming involved with violence, knife crime, gun crime or other risky situations, you need to learn NVC.  This can make a huge difference and may even save your child's life.

Worried about Money?

Many people are worried about money. There is so much uncertainty these days. People are facing being laid off, pensions are shrinking.

Here's the thing: worrying about bills, debts, etc. just makes things worse.

Did you know that our relationship with money is an emotional relationship? That means that when we change our thoughts and emotions, our money situation changes.

Think about it: when you feel more confident, don't you perform better?

My new ebook, The Power of Affirmations, contains practical suggestions which can help you to improve your situation. Click here to download it now.

Don't Freak Out

Affirmations are positive statements which we can use to help us achieve our goals.

The problem with affirmations is that we don't get instant results. We can't just start doing affirmations and immediately see the kinds of results we want to see. So we get discouraged.

As soon as we start moving in a positive direction, we immediately become more aware of our negative thoughts, tendencies, habits and beliefs. They come up for us BIG TIME. But don't freak out. This is just part of the process.

You can use affirmations to improve your money situation, work and career, health, or in fact, any area of your life.

You are in charge. Your future is in your hands.
