I have a strange relationship with affirmations. On the one hand, I think they’re a little geeky. But on the other hand, if they’re helpful, they’re helpful. The problem with Affirmations is that most people don’t believe them. Some studies have even found that reciting affirmations you don’t believe can backfire.[1] How can we overcome this problem?
But be careful, because if you’re being negative, it can be detrimental

Anyway, I put together a list of helpful Affirmations.
"If we are nodding our heads up and down, we gain confidence in what we are thinking. But when we shake our heads from side to side, we lose confidence in our own thoughts.”
But be careful, because if you’re being negative, it can be detrimental
"Nodding your head doesn't mean you'll agree with whatever you hear. One of the most surprising things we found is that if you're thinking negative thoughts while you're nodding, this actually strengthens your disapproval," Petty said. "What the head nodding is doing is making you more confident in your negative thoughts. In contrast, when the thoughts were mostly positive, then nodding increased confidence in these thoughts and thereby increased persuasion."
