Affirming positive thoughts using positive affirmations dramatically improves life outcomes. This link between attitude and outcome is well supported by medical and scientific research. It does not matter which aspect of life you choose to examine, health, relationships, prosperity, a positive attitude is a key factor in success.
Self-help and success strategies virtually always use 'positive thinking' techniques in one form or another. The use of positive affirmations is one of the most popular and widely known because they are simple to use and are effective.

It may not come as a huge surprise to know that a large percentage of all the thoughts we have each day are negative. These negative thoughts are damaging not only to our ability to succeed but can also be extremely damaging to health. Using positive affirmations is a great way to start countering this negativity and start taking back some control of our thinking.
Positive Affirmations are short positive statements that you can repeat regularly to yourself or leave around on cards where you will regularly see them. There is a bit of a knack to creating them; they must be positive, in the present tense and state something that you want. Keeping them brief makes them easier to remember and repeat!
Positive affirmations challenge negative beliefs. When used correctly affirmations start to stem the flow of negative thoughts and the words that seek to validate those negative beliefs. Affirmations are more than just repeating words. It is a whole process of becoming aware of your thoughts and words in everyday life. The more you can consciously inject the spirit of your affirmations into your daily thoughts and words, the quicker they will work for you.
Developing small but positive changes in your attitude can have a massive impact on your success. Put simply, if you can get your thinking right, the benefits will naturally follow. A positive mindset is very important when it comes to health and healing. It is a well-established fact that a positive attitude has a major impact on healing outcomes and negative beliefs. Many illnesses and conditions have been associated with negative emotions and beliefs.
Romantic success, financial prosperity, virtually every aspect of life can be linked to our own beliefs and behaviors. The choices we make and the behaviors we have today are the things that determine our future. If you want your future to be better than your past you need to change the patterns that created that past and change them for ones that will deliver the future you desire. Positive affirmations and positive thinking techniques are the perfect way to start that journey.

The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment
The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment must be the most astounding psychological study ever performed, or at any rate ranking right up there with some of the experiments done by Stanley Milgram.
Who would ever guess that a brief observation of a four-year old alone with a marshmallow would be an excellent predictor of college entrance exam scores twice as good a predictor as IQ test scores? In one of the most amazing developmental studies ever conducted, Walter Michel of Stanford created a simple test of the ability of four year old children to control impulses and delay gratification.
Children were taken one at a time into a room with a one-way mirror. They were shown a marshmallow. The experimenter told them he had to leave and that they could have the marshmallow right then, but if they waited for the experimenter to return from an errand, they could have two marshmallows. One marshmallow was left on a table in front of them. Some children grabbed the available marshmallow within seconds of the experimenter leaving. Others waited up to twenty minutes for the experimenter to return.
In a follow-up study (Shoda, Mischel, & Peake, 1990), children were tested at 18 years of age and comparisons were made between the third of the children who grabbed the marshmallow (the "impulsive") and the third who delayed gratification in order to receive the enhanced reward ("impulse controlled").
The third of the children who were most impulsive at four years of age scored an average of 524 verbal and 528 math. The impulse controlled students who scored 610 verbal and 652 math! This astounding 210 point total score difference on the SAT was predicted on the basis of a single observation at four years of age! The 210 point difference is as large as the average differences between that of economically advantaged versus disadvantaged children and is larger than the difference between children from families with graduate degrees versus children whose parents did not finish high school!
At four years of age gobbling a marshmallow now v. waiting for two later is twice as good a predictor of later SAT scores than is IQ. Poor impulse control is also a better predictor of later delinquency than is IQ.
Obviously there's a strong correlation between IQ and impulse control. People who do well in life have lots of both, and vice versa for those who don't do well.
Sociologists have regaled us for years with their theories as to the causes of poverty: lack of education, structural causes, racism. But it seems that, at least where opportunity exists, the reason for differences in income and wealth is that the poor have high impulsivity.
