In this episode you discover how predisposed attitudes affect the probability a person will procrastinate and fail to act in an appropriate and timely way. You also discover how to create a bias for action and goal achievements.

Here are five positive affirmations to help create that bias for action and success:

"I am capable of overcoming challenges and achieving my goals. I have done this many times.”

"I trust in my ability to make progress, even when faced with setbacks."

"I choose to focus on positive possibilities and take action towards my goals."

"Every step I take brings me closer to success and fulfillment."

"I deserve to prioritize my goals and invest in my future happiness."
