Morning! Did everyone have their orange juice for the day? Taken your vitamins? If not, that’s okay, we are here with your daily dose of Selfpause, to get you through the rest of your day!

Here’s what you are getting yourself into today: 

• A study shows how affirmations can actually affect your nerves, pretty neat huh?

• Your nerves are not the only thing they can affect, they can affect your luck too!

• Affirmations to help with your nerves

Findings demonstrate that sympathetic nervous system responses to naturalistic stressors can be reduced by self-affirmation

We all know exams can be a real stress-fest. But a study in the APA journal found a way to keep those nerves in check – by writing about your values!

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

📝 Participants were given a 2-week period to write two essays on their important values (think: family, friends, pets, pizza – you name it!)

📚 The peeps were then divided into control and test groups, like a scientific Hunger Games

📈 The results??? The control group showed an increase in stress levels (measured by urinary catecholamine excretion – fancy!), while the self-affirmation group remained chill as a cucumber.

The best part? This technique worked best for those who were most worried about negative college evaluation – aka the most psychologically vulnerable. So next time you're feeling the exam jitters, take a break and write about what really matters to you. Your nerves (and your values) will thank you later. 🧘‍♀️

LUCK, SCIENCE, AND YOU

Psychologist Dr. Susan Albers from Cleveland Clinic suggests that anyone can cultivate their own luck with the right mindset. Research indicates that lucky individuals share two common traits: optimism and positive thinking.

Here’s WHATS UP :

1. People who consider themselves lucky believe that luck is a personal attribute or characteristic rather than relying on magic.

2. Having an optimistic mindset and believing in your own luck increases the likelihood of good things happening, as it motivates you to take action to turn your thoughts into reality.

3. Dr. Albers recommends starting each morning with positive affirmations to set yourself up for success, such as telling yourself that you are lucky. This primes the brain to recognize and appreciate fortunate occurrences throughout the day.

4. It is beneficial to take time to write down the positive highlights of each day, which reinforces the presence of good things in your life and retrains your brain to focus on them.

5. Studies show that maintaining a positive attitude can reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and improve overall happiness and well-being.
