Just something to think about. My understanding is that in the April 2010 issue of Psychological Science journal, an article by Professor Dolores Albarracin wrote about an experiment that asking yourself a form of a question worked better than a statement affirmation. For example:
A basic affirmation like: “I will (be able to solve the task).”
Or to frame it as a question: “Will I (be able to solve the task)?”
The experiment indicated that the question may be better. I don't have the actual publication to verify. I got this from other articles that discussed this publication. This only something to think about. No claims that this is the way things actually works, but could be.
