Coached and guided to maximize.

An affirmation is a method for affirming something positive in your mind. It may involve stating something that you think to be true even when evidence appears to be to the contrary. An affirmation contains the elements of your belief, attitude, and motivation.
You send a positive response to your subconscious, which accepts whatever you tell it. When done properly, this triggers positive feelings that allows you to see the affirmation in your mind. Once you can see it in your mind, you'll be closer to achieving it in your life.
Affirmations not only help to keep you positive, they also stir the power within you. This power needs to be coached and guided to maximize your performance.
