S’up guys! You ready for a rockin’ good time? Same. Well, let’s get this party started with your daily dose of Selfpause. It will get you all hyped and ready to focus on your mental health, so you should totally check out the stuff we found, it’s lit.

Here’s what we’re getting at:

• A study by some real smart people found that self-affirmations can actually help one quit smoking or other bad habits by not dismissing harmful messages when presented to them! (Cool or what?)

• Ever heard of the concept called “Mind Seeds”? Yeah, us neither. We’ll tell you what we learned yesterday though!

• We also found some sick affirmations about overcoming a smoking habit.

Self-affirmation can make us less likely to dismiss harmful health messages in general, responding instead with the intention to change for the better

We all know smoking is bad for us, but do those graphic warning labels on cigarette packs really make a difference? A study published by the APA (American Psychological Association) put smokers to the test, and the results might surprise you!

Here's what went down in the world of cigarette warnings:

🚬 Young smokers were randomly assigned to either self-affirm or perform a control task before viewing four graphic images of smoking-related diseases.

🤔 Participants rated each image for threat and personal relevance, and completed measures of intentions, self-efficacy, and perceived behavioral control for reducing cigarette consumption.

👍 The self-affirmed group rated the images as more threatening and personally relevant, and reported more negative thoughts and feelings about smoking. They also had higher levels of control, self-efficacy, and intentions to quit.

🤯 Risk level moderated the effect of self-affirmation on relevance and intentions: Self-affirmation increased ratings on both measures among those who smoked more.

💪 At the one-week follow-up, motivation to reduce consumption remained higher in self-affirmed participants.

So, if you're a smoker struggling to face the truth about the dangers of smoking, try some self-affirmation! It might just help you kick the habit for good. 🚭

MIND SEEDS AND THE SEEDS OF CHANGE

Using affirmations is like planting seeds in your mind to help re-program it with better thoughts, just like planting a garden full of flowers instead of weeds.

Here’s the gist of it:

• Our thoughts of success OR failure affect our confidence and ability to follow through.

• Mindfulness-oriented practices such as affirmations can re-wire the brain and promote positive thinking.

• Affirmations can transform our emotional and immune responses and block negativity.

• Positive affirmations can be used to reprogram the mind and promote desired behaviors and attitudes.

• Clearing emotional clutter explores additional ways of using affirmations and transforming negative behaviors.

• Use affirmations often to create a new mental habit and notice how thinking and behavior respond.
