and repeat affirmations constantly.
The problem is, we typically don't pay attention

We may project confidence to the world around us,
while our inner dialogue says...
I hope this works.
I am so nervous about this.
I hope I don't blow it.
Affirmations are self fulfilling prophecies.
If we say, This is never going to work
... then chances are excellent it never will.

My actions are my own and I am, singularly,
responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.
