Positive statements can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. Sure they’re just words. But they are Positive words. And if you’re on the verge of giving up or struggling to push yourself to the next level, sometimes that’s just what you need. Many of us do repetitive exercises to improve our physical health, and these words are like exercises for our minds. These positive mental repetitions can reprogram our thinking patterns so that, over time, we begin to think – and act – differently.
