What does the writer mean in this following expression?
I'm reading a book about affirmations and theirs importance to us. The writer write that "When you write an affirmation you construct the sentence in first person, present tense, describing the end result you desire as if it were true today". And then, he write:
"Remember, our affirmations are intended to bring about a change in our behavior. The affirmation “I look good and feel good at ___ pounds” does not give us permission to move our bed next to the refrigerator!"
What does the writer mean in the expression "give us permission to move our bed next to the refrigerator"? Thank you!

What does "unfold in your favor" mean in this paragraph?
I have a paragraph as follows:
"To be optimistic means to have positive expectations, and your expectations are your mental predisposition of how you will handle uncertainty. It is about whether you believe the future will unfold in your favor or not, and to be confident with other people, it is best to adopt positive expectations whenever you interact with them"

What does "Some scholars ....masculine trait" mean in this paragraph?
I'm reading a book. The book has a paragraph as follows:
"Most people seem to believe that what constitutes feminine and masculine behavior is dynamic and may change over time as the behavior of the majority of a sex changes. Some scholars even list examples from history of such changes, but they mistake expressions of femininity for femininity itself and expressions of masculinity for masculinity itself. The majority of males do not have to adopt a trait for it to become a masculine trait. In fact, many males, perhaps even the majority these days, are more timid than brave, but being timid will never be considered masculine because the majority does not set the standards. Biology does, and to be timid is more a sign of vulnerability than bravery; hence, it is more suitable for females, at least in our natural environment where they were more likely to survive and reproduce if they avoided risks"
Can you explain the meaning of the sentences "Some scholars ....masculine trait"? Thank!
