and repeat affirmations constantly.

to exactly what those affirmations are saying.

We may project confidence to the world around us,
while our inner dialogue says...

I am so nervous about this.
I hope I don't blow it.
Affirmations are self fulfilling prophecies.
If we say, This is never going to work
... then chances are excellent it never will.
