Yes & No are both Positive Affirmations.
They both positively affirm what I do and do not want.
No is a positive affirmation of what I do not want.
Focusing on what I do not want will put what I do not want into my future.
Yes is a positive affirmation of what I think that I want.
I only ever get what I really want, not what I think that I want.
Gratitude is an affirmation of wanting what I already have.
A positive affirmation of wanting what I already have will have a positive outcome.
My acceptance of what I already have with gratitude & appreciation is a realisation that my intention is already assured.
Any other positive affirmation may result in a negative outcome.
I can only ever affirm and attest to what I already have, as long as I acknowledge it, unconditionally accept it, approve of it and allow it to appreciate and grow.
