That easy. We recommend first option. You have nothing to lose.
Self-Affirmation changes the way we think. Naturally we may have in us inner saboteur, the part of our personality which tells us very often that we will not be able to achieve what we want, which disrupts and delays our efforts.. Inner saboteur is driven by our fears. It is up to us to let this voice in us speak louder or to stop talking. Affrimations help us to drive our attention from negatives to positives. We focus on on convincing our mind that everything will be fine, everything will go according to our plans and we will achieve our goal.

You can also come up with the self-affirmation for what you want to change in your life, for example your inner saboteur is saying to you: you will never lose weight. The affirmation you can use is: I am strong and I will lose weight.
Other self-affirmations you could use:
Start each day like that, i.e. when going to brush your teeth. Practice self-affirmation until you convince yourself that everything will be just fine and that you will achieve what you want. If you don’t convince yourself after first time, you will definitely convince yourself after few times – your mind will eventually believe in what you’re saying to yourself.
