affirmation is a positive thought that you repeat to yourself.  using affirmations allows you to select quality thoughts and implant them into your subconscious so that you can feel better and perform better.  even if your hurt, you would say "i feel great, i feel great, i feel great, i feel great". in your work you would say,"i will finished my task today". for prosperity you would say, "i feel healthy, i feel good and i feel prosperous".  try to do affirm yourself, it does work.. most of the time though… at least it work. ehehehehe  we were more than this world got to offer….
