Growing up I was always told that if you hear something eleven times then your mind will begin to believe it, whether it’s true or not. The more we expose ourselves to a specific message, the more familiar it becomes. As humans, our brains are wired to believe that the things that are easy and familiar to us are also true (known as Cognitive fluency).

More often than not we hear our students close their statement with negativity.  “I am okay,” “I am hungry,” “I am tired.”  In our yoga classes we encourage our students to flip their thought process and fill the statement with something positive, whether they believe it or not.
