All great achievements start with a positive mindset. Before anything else happens, you must believe that something is possible before anything else. For example, do you believe you could run a half marathon if you trained hard? If you don’t believe you could complete a run of this distance, you won’t ever try.

The same principle applies to all major life accomplishments. Do you want to build a business? Do you want to have a fulfilling career path? You must believe in your potential to do it before taking the first step forward.

One way to combat negative thoughts and believe in your potential is to say positive affirmations daily. These affirmations can remind you about the importance of longterm goals and help nurture a growth mindset.

The effects of positive affirmations are backed by real evidence with self-affirmations are shown to decrease stress, improve academic achievement, and can help make students more resilient. So why not try these affirmations while you’re still attending school. Whether you’re in high school or college, developing this habit of positive thinking early in life will serve you well.

You can even repeat them when stressed out so they become part-of your daily routine to help combat unproductive thought patterns.
