The science behind it is the concept of self-actualization. If you believe something won't work, your subconscious will direct you to that outcome. But affirmations can change this pattern and lead you to positive results. They're like mental boosters that ignite your belief in your own abilities. By integrating affirmations into your daily routine, you can support the creation and maintenance of healthy habits, motivate yourself to take important steps toward your goals, and align yourself with your values and desires. Affirmations have been found to improve problem-solving skills, especially when you're under pressure.
