Repeat after me:
ردد معي
“I will succeed” “I’m powerful, I’m strong and nothing in the world can stop me”
أنا سأنجح، أنا متمكن، أنا قوي ولا شيء في العالم يمكن أن يعيقني
A lot of self-help books tell us to repeat these positive affirmations and visualise
الكثير من كتب التطوير الذاتي تخبرنا أن نردد هذه الجمل الإيجابية وأن نتصور
success. But research suggests for some of us, these statements can have a negative effect.
النجاح، لكن البحث العلمي يقترح أن ذلك قد يكون ذو تأثير سلبي على بعضنا
Visualising success can actually cause people to fail.
تصور النجاح قد يسبب الفشل للناس
In one study, participants with high self-esteem and low self-esteem repeated the phrase “I’m
في إحدى الدراسات، المشاركون ذوي الرضى العالي والرضى المنخفض عن أنفسهم رددوا:
a loveable person”. Researchers then measured their mood and feelings about themselves.
"أنا شخص محبوب" بعد ذلك قام الباحثون بقياس مزاجاتهم وأحاسيسهم عن أنفسهم
They found phrases that seem positive caused people with low self-esteem to feel worse
وجد الباحثون أن بعض الجمل والعبارات الإيجابية تجعل أصحاب الرضى المنخفض عن أنفسهم يشعرون بشعور أسوأ عن أنفسهم
about themselves, and people with high self-esteem only felt slightly better.
وأولئك أصحاب الرضى العالي عن أنفسهم يشعرون بشعور أفضل بشكل طفيف
In a follow up study, the researchers found that when those with low self-esteem were
في دراسه لاحقة، وجد الباحثون أن أصحاب الرضى المنخفض عن أنفسهم
asked to list negative self-thoughts with positive self-thoughts, their reported mood
طُلب منهم أن يذكروا أفكارهم السلبية والإيجابية، وكان لذلك تأثير إيجابي

It relates to the concept of “latitudes of acceptance”, that messages closer to
الأمر له علاقة بمفهوم "مدى التقبل" الرسالة كانت
your position or beliefs are more persuasive than messages far from your position.
وضعك وإيمانك هم أكثر إقناعًا وتأثيرًا من رسالة آتية من خارج موضعك
And messages outside your latitude of acceptance can just backfire, and strongly reinforce
والرسائل الآتية من خارج "مدى التقبل" الخاص بك قد يكون لها أثر سلبي وقد تسبب تعزيز
your original position.

Sometimes our psychology causes bad things to happen to good feedback. For some, thinking
أحيانًا نفسياتنا تجعل بعض الأشياء السيئة تترك أثر إيجابي. للبعض مثلًا، التفكير
“I will succeed” without considering how causes a drop in motivation.
"أنا سأنجح" بدون التفكير بكيفية ذلك قد يخفض المحفز
Another study showed that visualising success can drain our ambition.
في دراسة أخرى أظهرت أن تصور النجاح قد يستهلك طموحاتنا و يستنزفها
Participants were asked to visualise positively or negatively about things like winning an
طُلب من المشاركين التصور الإيجابي أو السلبي مثل الفوز
essay competition. Those who visualised positively about their essay-winning prospects reported
بمنافسة سهلة. هؤلاء ممن قاموا بتصور إيجابي عن فوزهم السهل أخبروا المنظمين
having less energy than the negative visualisation group.
بأنهم شعروا بحماس أقل من هؤلاء الذين امتلكوا تصور سلبي
And fantasising positively about the coming week led participants to feel less energised
كما أن التخيل الإيجابي لمجريات الأسبوع القادم جعل المشاركين يشعرون بحماس أقل
and achieve fewer of their goals compared to the control participants.
وأنجزوا أهدافًا أقل بالمقارنة مع المجموعة الأخرى
Of course our individual differences mean we respond differently to self-help techniques.
بالطبع اختلافاتنا الفردية تعني أننا نستجيب بشكل مختلف لأساليب التطوير الذاتية
Overall, researchers do suggest using more directed affirmations - saying “I select
بشكل عام، يقترح الباحثون استخدام عبارات مباشرة مثل: "أنا اختار
good gifts for people” rather than “I am a generous person”.
الهدايا الجيدة للناس" عوضًا عن "أنا انسان كريم"
And these positive statements kind of suggest we should only think positive thoughts. Don’t
وهذه البيانات الإيجابية تقترح أنه يجب أن نفكر بشكل إيجابي فقط.
ruminate on the bad stuff, but consider that the occasional negative thought could be motivational
لا تفكر بالأمور السيئة، لكن تذكر أن الأفكار السلبية أحيانًا تكون محفز
too.
