Hi IH! Do any of you use affirmations to help motivate yourself?

They definitely work if you’re consistent and take 5 mins every morning and stand in front of the mirror and read them.

All the affirmations I used 2-3 months ago are now happening.

It works.

I'm not big on affirmations, but I often find myself thinking about this quote from Marcus Aurelius (who was the emperor of the Roman Empire and once the most powerful person in the world). I think of it so much that it might as well be an affirmation...

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible... but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

For me I say my 5 year goal and mission every morning. Got the idea from "Think and Grow Rich"

I've always thought affirmations were nonsense.

But a few months ago I read The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod and decided to add an affirmation to my morning routine.

Here it is:

I am letting go of the limiting belief that I can't do this. I can do it, but only if I take action every single day. I am enough. I can handle this. Anything is possible.

I honestly feel a bit better after saying it each morning. It's just words, but like a great quote, it can give you a little gee up just when you need it! 👍
