I was just reading Jeannette Maw’s Good Vibe blog and she has a great post, The “Truth” About Affirmations.

Do they work or not work?

In my lifetime, I have recited many thousands of affirmations. Some of them I only used once. Some of them have become a permanent part of my mental chatter. Can you guess which ones came true?
