🦠 COVID Stress Got You Down? Self-Affirmation to the Rescue! 💪

An experimental intervention involving the affirmation of personal values can buffer psychological stress responses during an epidemic.

Hello fellow travelers! As we journey on this wellness journey together, let us all take a moment to embrace our daily dose of Selfpause. Today we are going to dive into releasing stress from the toilet paper apocalypse (aka 2020).

Here’s what we had in mind:

  • A somewhat recent study found that using affirmations can help reduce the stress felt by the public during an outbreak

  • BUT it’s not just covid stress that affirmations can help with, it's normal run-of-the-mill stress too!

  • We compiled some stress-be-gone affirmations to help out

An experimental intervention involving the affirmation of personal values can buffer psychological stress responses during an epidemic

Feeling anxious because of the pandemic? You're not alone. But a scientific study found a simple way to help ease those stress levels – self-affirmation!

Here's what went down in the world of value reflection:

🤔 Researchers recruited 220 participants and split them into two groups – one that reflected on personal values that made them feel important to themselves, and one that reflected on values important to others.

📝 Both groups completed a questionnaire and anxiety and depression scales before and after the intervention.

🔬 The results? The self-affirmation group showed no increase in anxiety levels after the intervention, while the control group did.

So, what does this mean for you? Taking a few minutes to reflect on your personal values can help reduce anxiety during stressful times. And the best part? It's an easy and convenient strategy that anyone can do!
