The mind is an amazingly powerful thing. It can convince your body of all sorts of things that are not true. To test this, simply sit down and tell yourself over and over that you feel tired or ill. Focus on that long enough and you will find that your stomach begins to churn or your eyelids begin to droop.
You can, very literally, trick your body into believing a falsehood simply by thinking about it enough. You can also convince your subconscious that you are a failure, a hopeless procrastinator, or have a terrible memory. Then, you will struggle with success, time management, or remembering details.
On the other hand, if you tell yourself that you are successful or can become a good time manager, you will find that you have created a self-fulfilling prophecy for the better.
