@copperbadge

so I found a good article here

which tells about research that was done showing that: positive affirmations reduced the negative affects that happen in a person's brain when they make a mistake. the paper it references is this one

also see this article

"affirmation of core values may exert its effects by allowing at-risk individuals to see the self-relevance and value in otherwise-threatening messages."

there's more relevant articles in the similar articles section near the bottom of the page.

and here's a nice lil thing on how to do affirmations that acknowledges that it feels weird to do and gives some tips on ways to make it less weird.

#hope this helps #psychology #postive affirmations #so slightly related but i have a tendency to say things outloud without meaning to when im stressed #and it used to be that usually what id say was -i want to die- or -i hate you- which wasnt true but i said it #and ive slowly over time managed to change it to -i love you- and -its okay- #which is a lot less alarming for other people to hear when im having a mini meltdown #i think it makes it faster to calm down than it used to be
