We routinely employ affirmations, often unconsciously, throughout our day.
“I can’t do this.”
“It’s too complicated.”
“I’m not skilled enough.”
“I’m too exhausted.”
“I lack the necessary funds.”
“I don’t have the right qualifications.”
“I’m financially strapped.”
“I can’t afford that.”
Affirmations are succinct statements or thoughts that shape our beliefs. These beliefs, in turn, become ingrained in our identity and manifest in our day-to-day activities.
Consider this insightful quote from Henry Ford:
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”
