Questions people ask
What makes an affirmation feel believable?
Present tense, plain words, and something you can already partly agree with. Believable beats grand every time.

A month is a good rhythm. Long enough to sink in, short enough to stay interesting.
Can I write my own?
Yes — use these as templates and swap in your own names, places and goals.
