Cartoons on the Reality of Self Affirmation AND Technique for Relaxation

It is one thing to tell yourself to be positive and another to act it out. Self -affirmation as taught by many trainers (and teachers) only tell you to be positive and think positive. They often fail to emphasize the ACTION bit which happens to be only ingredient that make things work. It is no wonder that there are so many people who go (or forced to go) to a motivation talk, get emotional, and then after that move on with nothing changed or improved.

But I'm sure the trainers are happy, they got your MONEY!!! =)

Sitting down and belly (not 'barely') breathing with soothing music is one technique to relax. I learn it when the trainers shared this with the 4N(A) students in a motivation talk session.

Not sure if the students got the message cause I can see that they are already talking among themselves. While I keep myself busy conceptualising the talk and then 'cartooned' it. =)

Adding a punch line and tickling story to tell. I'll leave the interpretation to you.

A final copy in ink.

Oh ya, I changed the punch line.

In the ideation and the development stage of a design process (in this case cartooning), anything can change and must change for improvement, given the time.
