This will be short. I have worked 12 hour plus for several days and 2 more to go. It took a bit of self convincing to grab my iPad and write something before bed.
NOCEBO FROM LATIN MEANS I SHALL CAUSE HARM
It is a well known effect in medical trials where an inert substance taken by a subject causes symptoms. It is the evil twin of placebo effect.
Strange but true that people taking an Inert substance in a blinded study ( where you are not told because you're getting the actual medicine or an inert substance ), develop side effects as if they were taking the actual medicine.
The Nocebo effect has been expanded to describe similar facts that may even expand to affect a community. There are many tales associated with it. There is the famous story of a patient who was told by the doctor that his body is riddled with cancer and he has only three months to live. The patient became sicker and sicker and had exactly 3 months he died. An atutopsy did not reveal any significant tumor or any other cause of death.
Needless to say that this is a well established fact that thoughts, suggestions and your own mind is a powerful tool that can help you are harm you. I have read quite a bit about law of attraction and manifestation. I remain a non believer that just wanting something and thinking about it will manifest anything in life. On the other hand I do believe that if want something the best way to do it is to make a plan and positively believe that you can achieve it and then go for it. The law of attraction may be a great starting point.
Surround yourself with successful people who carry positive attitudes towards life. Their positivity will seep into you as well. Avoid negativity and especially people who are constantly in fear of abstract future events. They will Kate it happen in your life and their lives.
Change your attitude. Smile. Be positive. Plan positive things. Surround yourself with similar people. Do so on steemit in your feed. You shall find success
As a side note. Just think about how watching FOX, CNN, ABC, CBS etc may affect you
