Loading…loading…loading…ready! Don’t you hate it when things have to take time to buffer? Well, funny enough, did you know that affirmations can help buffer in a good way? In this daily dose of Selfpause we’ll tackle that good version of buffer…loading…loading…loading…not again…

Here’s today’s dose:

• Did you know that reflecting on personal values can actually reduce your response to stress?

• Want to stress less? You can train your body to do that!

• Affirmations for relaxing and minimizing stress responses

Participants who affirmed their values had significantly lower cortisol responses to stress, compared with control participants

Feeling stressed? Don't worry, we've got you covered with some self-affirming activities that can help you keep calm and carry on. In a study published by the APA, researchers found that affirming personal values can actually help buffer the negative effects of stress on both your mind and body.

Here's what went down in the lab:

🧠 Participants completed a value-affirmation task or a control task before being subjected to a stress challenge (yikes!)

💪 Those who affirmed their values had significantly lower cortisol responses to stress compared to the control group (take that, cortisol!)

🌟 Participants with high self-esteem and optimism who affirmed their values reported the least stress (oh yeah!)

So, next time you're feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to reflect on your personal values and remind yourself of what's truly important.🙏

BECOMING MORE RESILIENT TO STRESS

Everyone experiences stress differently due to genetics, environment, and health factors. We all have a unique "stress reserve" that affects our natural reactions to stress. Although we can't change our genetics or past experiences, we can train our bodies to cope with stress.

Here’s the gist of it :

1. The autonomic nervous system, specifically the parasympathetic branch, plays a crucial role in managing stress.

2. Practices that activate the parasympathetic nervous system can help us relax and better handle stress.

3. Breathwork and positive affirmations can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and clearer thinking.

4. Exercise is beneficial for reducing the body's stress response and regulating the autonomic nervous system.

5. Regular exercise, breathwork, positive affirmations, and using relaxing supplements can support the body's natural stress management reserves.
