Hey, thanks for stopping by today! We were just about to get started on a daily dose of Selfpause if you haven’t been before, welcome! We are always happy to have new friends. If you’ve been before, we’re thrilled you joined us again today.

Here’s what we were just about to discuss:

• A study that looks at how affirmations can reduce the anticipated impact of negative events (isn’t that neat??)

• Telehealth for students is a game-changer for students in Massachusetts, so definitely something we wanted to touch on!

• We also collected a few affirmations that you might like.

Self-affirmation reduced the unpleasant feelings expected to result from a negative event

Did you know that people usually overestimate the impact of negative events on their emotions? That's because we tend to underestimate our own psychological resiliency. But guess what? Studies have found that self-affirmation can actually reduce the unpleasant effect of negative events on our emotions. So who knew that affirmations could be the superhero we need to save us from our own negative thoughts? 

Here's what went down in the world of self-affirmation:

🧠 Participants were asked to imagine a negative event and predict how it would make them feel (cue the doom and gloom)

📝 Half of the participants were then asked to write about their most important value (like a love letter to themselves), while the other half wrote about something less important (like their favorite flavor of ice cream)

🤔 The results? Those who wrote about their important value had a more positive outlook on the negative event and felt less affected by it. It's like they had a shield of self-love protecting them from negativity!

So, next time you're feeling down, take a moment to remind yourself of your worth and values. It might just be the secret weapon you need to defeat those negative thoughts!
