Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) has a lovely post on his Dilbert.Blog "Affirmations". He's a huge believer in them:
Prior to my Dilbert success, I used affirmations on a string of hugely unlikely goals that all materialized in ways that seemed miraculous. Some of the successes you can explain away by assuming I’m hugely talented and incredibly sexy, and therefore it is no surprise that I accomplished my goals despite seemingly long odds. I won’t debate that interpretation because I like the way it sounds.There's nothing magical about affirmations, they're simply a way of getting your conscious and subconscious minds on the same page, so to speak. As Scott points out: "Writing affirmations takes effort. Perhaps your subconscious only allows you to spend that much time on goals that it feels you have a chance of obtaining even if your rational mind does not."
Give affirmations a try.
