Your mind is a powerful tool... and positive affirmations can help you sharpen it. Watch what happens when you do!

To be a Black man today means confronting deeply embedded racism in every social institution - on a daily basis. Even if you're not always aware of what you're up against, you probably have to fight harder than you should in most areas of life.

This can take its toll, and often you end up fighting yourself as much as you do the world around you. The more barriers you're faced with, the more you will build up inside your own mind.

But there's good news: You can reprogram yourself so that those mental barriers never stand in your way.

And the process is surprisingly simple.

Denzel Washington - and countless other celebrities - attribute their success to the use of positive affirmations... and you can too!

Affirmations are amongst the simplest self-help strategies you can use to nurture your self-confidence and self-belief.

Simply by moving your focus away from your perceived inadequacies and towards your strengths - both those you already possess and those you want to work on - you can change your fortune.

And science gives the stamp of approval...

Regularly repeating affirming statements encourages your brain to believe that they're facts... and when you really believe you can do something, your actions will follow.
