- Practical takeaway: Use visualization to embody the qualities you are affirming, rather than just repeating words
- Failure mode: Avoid treating affirmations as a passive chant; without emotional connection and feeling, they lose effectiveness

- Main idea: Use small wins and self-recognition to reinforce the new, positive mental narrative
