Scientific Evidence of the Effects of Affirmations

Greetings dear readers! This is your daily dose of Selfpause. Today, we are going to embark on a scientific journey filled with excitement and discovery! I mean what could possibly be more exciting than scientific evidence of the effects of affirmations?! Though we may be biased…

Here’s what’s on our agenda for today:

  • A not TOO new, but not TOO old scientific study on the effects of self-affirmations

  • The 3 components that are the results of self-affirmations (good things come in 3’s remember? Or is it bad things come in 3’s… It’s good, it’s definitely good)

  • Did you know that even the Washington Post is into the science behind affirmations? I wouldn’t have thought so, but check it out!

Self-Affirmations: The science behind them and the effects they have. 

WE know that self-affirmations can have phenomenal effects. It’s nice to have some science to back us up though right? Let’s see what the Psychological & Brain Sciences professor has to say about it.

Turns out he said:

  • Self-affirmations can concretely change us as they can shape the way we experience life

  • We have a flexible self-system, meaning we can shape ourselves through how we see the world

  • Affirmations can actually REDUCE physiological stress

In summary (we kinda read the article so you didn’t have to), self-affirmations help increase our self-resources, broaden our perspective about how we see events in our lives, and reduce our overall anxiety so that threats we encounter in our lives do not have as much of a negative impact.

I’m no Einstein, but those seem like pretty cool facts to me.

Now you know affirmations have scientific backing, here’s how to use it to your advantage

The 90s were a dark time. Affirmations were viewed as hippie nonsense and mostly used for satirical purposes such as part of sketches on SNL. Wow, that sounds depressing! Lucky for us, we aren’t in the 90s anymore and you can enjoy the benefits of affirmations without feeling like you have bought something from a witch doctor!

How you might ask? Let’s take a peek :

  • Psychologists and Researchers (aka super smart people) have done countless studies on how affirmations can help alleviate stress and their findings have been very, very positive!

  • Affirmations are most effective when they are specific and in tune with what you truly believe and value

  • The key is to remember affirmations are not to help you be perfect but to perfectly accept your true self

We’ve talked about how affirmations reduce stress right? Well, here are some specifically for that!

  1. I choose to release stress from my life.

  2. I am in control of my thoughts and emotions, and I release stress easily.

  3. I am calm and centered, even in the midst of chaos.

  4. Stress does not control me.

  5. I choose to focus on peace and positivity.

  6. I am grateful for the peace that comes from releasing stress.

  7. I trust in my ability to handle any situation without feeling overwhelmed.

  8. I am resilient and strong.

  9. I am open to the calming energy of the universe.

  10. I am free from stress and anxiety, and I embrace peace and tranquility.
