The Science Behind Self-Affirmations
Research in psychology shows that self-affirmations activate the brain's reward centers and can reduce stress-related neural activity. When you practice daily self affirmations consistently, you're literally rewiring your brain's neural pathways. This neuroplasticity allows your mind to form new, more positive thought patterns over time.
- Neuroplasticity helps form new positive thought patterns
- Repeated practice strengthens neural pathways for self-compassion
- Reduces cortisol levels and stress-related brain activity
- Activates the brain's reward system, reinforcing positive self-regard
