Affirmations are a powerful tool to program your mind to success. The reason affirmations work so effectively is that your subconscious mind is what really runs your body. If you think about it, your subconscious mind keeps you alive by running all your body organs and everything that you take for granted in terms of bodily functions. Your conscious mind is basically a filter and once passed through the filter to the subconscious it no longer reasons and analyses like the conscious, the subconscious takes it as truth.
