I admit, I'm a skeptic on using affirmations to better myself, but I'm trying to find a way to be more positive and confident. Jan is an excellent teacher on how to use affirmations on a day to day basis. For instance, when thinking of doing something, never think in the future. Think in the "now" such as "I exercise every morning" rather than "I will exercise every morning" because it tricks your brain into thinking you are doing it. Then it's the leap to actually doing it, if you practice enough.The book is divided into two sections - the first talks about affirmations and how they can help you, with a couple practice exercises. It's a bit disorganized, and I started a journal and organized some important points (and one of her suggestions is to do this.) The second part is daily reflections, and exercises and questions to ask myself after each reflection. I found this to be very effective, and will continue this practice every morning.
