Interesting thought from the site:

"Wagging the tail of the dog" as it applies to the misconception regarding the use of positive affirmations:

Reciting positive affirmations about yourself (and hoping for results) is like wagging the tail of a dog in hopes of tail-wagging will make the dog happy. It won't. The dog must be happy first, and then its tail will wag.

Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with it though. I think that cognitions can follow behaviors and vice versa. Maybe the results are not immediate, but it works just as well as telling yourself all these negative things and then believing it. They are both brain washing only one is a more healthy and accepting way to live. The dog's tail doesn't always wag when he's happy, but if he's a kick-arse dog, he will find a way to wiggle his tail if he wants to!
