Our mind does exactly the same thing what we tell it to do, if you say “ Its too tough I cant do it” your words will send a message to your brain to follow it. But if you say “I can do it”, then it sends a positive message. Our subconscious mind is very powerful, if you master it, you can do anything in life.
