Henry Ford said \u201cWhether you think you can or you think you can\u2019t, you\u2019re right.\u201d\u00a0 His famous quote gets at the heart of the concept of an affirmation:\u00a0the notion that it is our beliefs about ourselves<\/a> that determine who we really are and what we can achieve.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you make affirmations work in your life.\u00a0 Study the list below and select an affirmation that speaks to you.\u00a0 Maybe it resolves a problem you\u2019re facing.\u00a0 Maybe it addresses something about yourself that you\u2019ve always wanted to change.\u00a0 Pick your affirmation and say it to yourself first thing in the morning.\u00a0 Repeat it at several predetermined times throughout the day \u2013 when you take a mid-morning walk, stop for lunch, or just before you wrap up to leave your office.\u00a0 Then repeat it right before you go to sleep.\u00a0 Do this every day for thirty days.<\/p>\n

The key is that you must mean it.\u00a0 You must believe in your affirmation.\u00a0 It will be hard to believe at the beginning of your thirty days, but as the month progresses, you\u2019ll discover that you\u2019re actually beginning to behave the way you\u2019re conditioning yourself to act.\u00a0 Find your affirmation and put it to work!<\/p>\n

    Most people are skeptical of affirmations.\u00a0 They think there\u2019s no possible way that simply repeating words can make a difference, but they couldn\u2019t be more wrong. In fact, words are how we shape the world around us, and looking yourself in the eye in the mirror and telling yourself that you\u2019re going to become the person you want to be is taking a giant step toward shaping your own future and fortune.<\/p>\n
