using the word "not" in the affirmation

[Tongoenabiago]

Dude, I don't know where I saw this, if it was here on the forum or somewhere else. It's related to the word "no" in the statement, that using "no" would generate the opposite result, because it would be using a negative word. I don't remember if that was exactly the logic.
For example, if I say, whether in everyday life or in a spell, for example, "I don't smoke cigarettes...", "I don't drink beer...", "I don't do that..."... anyway, such statements would be generating a contrary result due to this "no".
Does this actually make sense?

generating a contrary result due to this "no"

You are probably referring to this article where it explains that continuing to use negative expressions such as "I don't have money" or "nobody loves me" programs your mind and your life to reinforce that situation:

Overcoming Obstacles

Does this actually make sense?

Anyway, in general, apart from what I wrote previously, I actually advise you to make positive affirmations. This is not because the unconscious mind does not understand the negative, it does, but it understands it exclusively in relation to something positive and not immediately. Don't think of the Statue of Liberty! You thought of the Statue of Liberty. That's what I'm trying to explain to you.

Instead of saying "I do not smoke cigarettes", you can say for example "I am living my life smoke-free". You can apply this to any other affirmation.
