Liberating Principles
Dr. Botten has assembled 16 principles, each representing a concept or group of concepts of Psychology. Each one is presented as a positive affirmation to facilitate learning and remembering. Some of these are listed below. In Dr. Botten's book "Creative Happiness" each of the principles is accompanied with several paragraphs of explanation.
1. Present Orientation --
I recognize that the past cannot be changed and that the future is unknown. All thoughts are centered in the reality of the here and now. I am freeing myself of the resentments of the past and the expectations of the future.
2. Reality
-- I explore each situation to separate what is real from what I wish were real.
3. Self acceptance
-- I fully accept myself as I am now, and, at the same time, utilize self-knowledge for positive growth.
