Slowly, as the rising of the sun, she watched herself ride in to the clouds of stardom. She couldn't tell how it happened but she knew she kept telling herself she too could attain mastery in baking.
Mary had turns of rollercoaster rides of doubts on her ability to learn icing designs for the past four months of signing up for baking classes. She got tons of ''naying'' applauds and pats to quit but thankfully, she clouded her subconscious mind with what she needed, giving little or no space to nurture what people thought she couldn't achieve.

3 Epic Hacks To Being Productive In Life
Understanding Your Life's Purpose.
Like the lady in the story above, at a point in life, you must have told yourself therapeutic and winning statements that were captured by your subconscious mind and unknown to you, nudged you to attaining success. It could be words as simple as, "I can do it," "I'm enough," "I can do better," and the likes. These words when repeatedly spoken to oneself, become steroids to achieving success in different spheres it's spoken to, in a person's life.
How can you use affirmations to achieve success?
According to Dr. Harra, who is a best-selling author, psychologist, and relationship expert, in her article, "In the sequence of thought-speech-action, affirmations play an integral role by breaking patterns of negative thoughts, negative speech, and, in turn, negative actions." This clearly describe the benefits of affirmations in influencing the trio-nature of a person especially in breaking negative thoughts pattern and actions. In essence, saying encouraging words to yourself consistently, sets you on the path that won't lead you to detours and dead ends. Rather, you will be consciously or unconsciously guided to making decisions that cheers and lead you to success.
Speaking well of yourself to yourself is a way of breaching the gap between you and your next achievement. It's quite sad that affirmations have been underated and made to look more like a regular motivational script that gives you a eureka feeling.
The words of God to Job often struck me with the sensation of satisfaction and confidence that affirmation is something I shouldn't give up on.
''Have you commanded the morning since your days began and caused the dawn to know its place?'' (See Job 38:12)
Can you set a challenge for yourself to repeatedly affirm some nice words to yourself for some days and see how how it affects your productivity?
Regardless of a statement being tagged "affirmation" or not, once it encourages and uplift you, consistently affirm it to yourself because unknown to you, your subconscious mind captures it and begin to influence your actions.
Below are some affirmations you can try out.
