I am the Aura of Sexiness

[Shannon]

I read that affirmations must be phrased literally as that is the only language subconscious mind understands. So for example you can't tell your mind to 'stop' doing something, instead you must tell it to 'start' doing the opposite. Is this what you are getting at?

You are confused here. You must use only positive phrasing where possible. "Stop" is okay, as long as it is used in an otherwise positive statement. Stop by itself is neutral.

Thanks for clearing that up. This is really a bad example I know, but if the affirmation "I am now less and less unsexy" was used you wouldn't get the desired effect of being "less unsexy" but rather the opposite?

Consider how these two impact you:

I am now less and less un-sexy.

I am now more and more sexy.

Becoming less unsexy implies that you started out unsexy, and are reducing that. It doesn't say you are sexy. It is like saying you'll do it "tomorrow". Tomorrow never comes: less unsexy never gets to "sexy".

Starting off with the positive phrasing assumes sexiness was always there, and is growing.

The effect is to actually program in a negative amount of sexiness from which to start with, and stay below zero, because it's all based on unsexy, rather than sexy.
