Do Affirmations And Visualization Really Work

I have always been into self-help and believe in having a positive mental attitude. Being a former athlete, I had  high school coach who always talked about visualizing yourself in the game making plays. It was something I did and belivedl like it worked to some degree. However it was not something I did in any other aspect of my everyday life.

Because I want a better quality of life for myself I am reading about ways I can get that for myself.

Lately I have starting watching affirmation videos. Because I do feel that if you see and visualize something in your mind and believe it enough you can have an experience similar to that. I found a website wealthvibes that has many free affirmation videos to watch. Of course the site exists to make money so the videos are there to encourage you to buy. I just use the site to watch the videos and see if they make any tangible difference in my life. I know I wont see changes over night but even if I don't see changes I feel watching the videos on a  regular basis can't hurt.

So do watching affirmation videos and visualizing work.... I don't know yet. Let me know what you think I report back soon.

Verizon Calling Me Because My Plan Has Expired

So I keep getting a call from 800-261-1646. Unsure who it is, I googled it. Turns out it's Verizon. It"s time for a upgrade with Verizon. Somehow I have yet to get a new phone. Verizon has no problem calling me everyday to remind me to upgrade.  They want me to upgrade so that I'm locked into another 2 years.  I was doing some research and it turns out that I have the leverage to negotiate a good plan for myself.  I want a smart phone but don't want to pay for that data plan.... I wonder if I can get that plan at a big discount.  Time to find out.

Time To re negotiate with my service provider
