Stuart Smalley, we did you dirty. Staring into the mirror while wearing a pastel cardigan isn’t key to the process, but affirmations are the real deal: our thoughts direct our brains, and our brains tell us how we feel. A single sentence of affirmation can trigger your reward centers and change your entire day. Join Hannah Hart for this journey through the world of affirmations. And if you need more convincing that it’s not hokey nonsense, take it from Harto herself: “I feel weird about it every time in the beginning and great about it at the end, so hang in there.”
