An experiment was conducted to observe the effect of giving repeated negative suggestions to a healthy person.
First, someone said to the person,
“You don’t look well. Are you feeling sick?”
The healthy person casually replied,
“No, I’m fine.”
Later, a second person met the same individual and said,
“Did something bad happen? You don’t look very healthy.”
This time, the person responded,
“Hmm, I’m not sure. For some reason, I don’t feel so great.”
Then a third person came along and said,
“Are you sick? You really don’t look well.”
Now the reply was different:
“Yeah, I don’t feel too good.”
Even a healthy person can subconsciously be influenced by repeated negative suggestions.
On the other hand, what would happen if we gave positive suggestions instead?
Perhaps they could even help a sick person feel healthier.
