Morning ya’ll! Today is going to be a good day. Can’t you feel it? To start off with, you are already getting your daily dose of Selfpause. What better way to get a start on an epic day? Treating your mental health as a priority helps everything else run AS smooth as honey.

Here’s what’s happening:

• In an article WAY BACK in 2016 (feels like a century ago right?) affirmations were studied and shown to have a positive impact on the brain

• Breaking the stigma around mental health, a group of student-athletes champion a simple message surrounding their fallen teammate, “Morgan’s Message”

• Affirmations for remaining positive are just around the corner…

Participants who were affirmed showed increased activity in key regions of the brain's self-processing and valuation systems

Feeling down about yourself? Don't worry, science has got your back! Here’s your one hack to get your brain to change your life for you! According to a study published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, self-affirmation can activate the reward centers in your brain and boost your self-worth.

Here's what the study found:

🧬 Participants who engaged in self-affirmation showed increased activity in the brain's self-processing and valuation systems when reflecting on future-oriented core values.

🤸‍♀️ This neural activity even predicted changes in sedentary behavior, meaning successful self-affirmation can lead to positive lifestyle changes.

In other words, go ahead and give yourself a little pep talk. Your brain will thank you for it! And who knows, maybe you'll even hit the gym afterward. 💪

BREAKING STIGMA AND CHAMPION MENTAL HEALTH

Two High Point University women's soccer sophomores, Shannon McGovern and Isabelle Lee, have become ambassadors for Morgan's Message, a program that aims to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health for student-athletes. Morgan's Message was founded after the suicide of a Duke University women's lacrosse team member named Morgan Rodgers.

Here’s the tea :

• The program aims to equalize the treatment of physical and mental health in athletics

• It seeks to normalize conversations about mental health and support those feeling alone

• McGovern and Lee plan to spread awareness and break the stigma by setting up tables at games and promoting Morgan's Message

• They also plan to have dedication games across every sport

• The program has received positive feedback from HPU student-athletes who want to join and help end the stigma

• Currently, there are 2,556 ambassadors on 973 high school and collegiate campuses
