What we expect of ourselves facilitates the wonder of making possible the realization of what we are after, but if we persist in thinking negatively, those possibilities become so weak that they manage to break the intended goals.
A firm belief increases that something will happen as we expect or want it to be. This is the essence of any placebo, the belief and desire to believe in favor of what is believed to happen.
In medicine, there are complete reviews of the placebo effect that will leave us speechless. Take a sugar pill from the hands of a reputable doctor as if it were a first-line remedy for an annoying headache, there can be miraculous results. The full awareness that something is helping us is enough for the positive outcome to occur.
But we live among opposites, and the placebo effect cannot survive without its archenemy, the nocebo effect, which in itself makes all the symptoms of a disease worse or creates false beliefs that something wrong can happen to us.
The word nocebo, which has not yet been accepted by the Royal Academy of Language, but will not take long to embrace it, has a great negative potential in itself. it is comprehensive for those around it who have to endure their intolerable excesses as patiently as possible.
Nocebo can be compared to the dreadful pathological pessimist who has a repetitive and circular thought that everything he does in this world will by definition go wrong, and through such deaf invocation, the possibilities of the situation are multiplied. .
An irrepressible inner feeling that a meal will make us feel bad, the car has a strange noise and we’ll have to leave a fortune in the garage, or we’re going to get lung cancer because cigarette packs alert us are infallible signs. he is We became nocebos.
Reversing the situation and dealing with our own flaws is not easy to describe, we have to resort to the most positivist psychological current, the new positive or happiness psychology, which will leave us like new if we follow its principles. Those who hesitate to go that far take two deep breaths before a bad thought comes to mind and you will definitely feel better.
