It is easy to complete the task in hand when you believe that you can. Having a negative feeling about the task reduces the chances of accomplishing it. This is the reason why affirmations are given importance. Giving up on a task in the beginning itself stops one from actualizing it.

Affirmations are the beliefs that one either inherits or gets accustomed to over a period of time. It is very difficult to change the perspective of a person who firmly believes in one particular thing. It is only after constant exploration that the beliefs take a u-turn. It could be even more strenuous to convince a person who has been following a particular mannerism since time aeon. For example if you try to convince a person who has been vegetarian all their life to have non-vegetarian food, you will not succeed. It is only after gradual changes in the beliefs that a person can adopt contemporary methods.

One fine morning if you think that you can excel, it may not help. But if you repeat it for weeks and work accordingly, then you will conquer it. Affirmation does not mean being over confident. It means accepting your potential and working in line with it.
