Does anyone do daily affirmations?

I don't know if I do daily affirmations as part of my routine, but I do have a series of things I repeat to myself when I'm getting down or when I can't get motivated to do something. They do help. If they helped you before, do it!

I used to! And they really, really work. The hard part is making them mean something every day... if you get into too much of a habit and just recite the affirmations, they become mundane after a while and the words lose their meaning due to repetition, and it stops working. that's the hard part: keeping them fresh every day and applying meaning and emotion to your words every time you affirm.

Well, my question is pretty much what I'd like to know. I used to do this sometime back when I was battling the worst of my depression, but I stopped, now I'm thinking of doing it again.

Not to sound like a quack but have you ever read the book The Secret? I used t have a bulletin board with everything I wanted on it. Including my head that I photoshoped on a nice body. It really helped. I lost alot of weight then and it helped in alot of other areas too. It had an lots of quotes and pictures on it. I read them all everyday. It was in my bedroom to I had to see it all the time. I just decided yesterday I will be putting mine back up.

This will be my first new quote I add

At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils.
And with boiling water, comes steam.
And steam can power a locomotive.

Sometimes all it takes is that one extra degree that can mean the difference between no change and real results. When you think of stopping just push yourself a little further. Go that extra degree. Often times it can make all the difference.
