## Resource

Host of the Inspired Mind, Machel Shull shares #2 Podcast in the Alleviate Anxiety Series. In this episode discover a study that involved 17,700 participants in which MRI scans found how the brain utilizes the part of the brain known to reduce stress and promote enhanced sense of wellbeing all from the power of speaking affirmations over our lives. Here are some individuals you can find online with powerful affirmations: ​Louise Hay ​Florence Scovel Shinn ​Tony Robbins Science- "Studies using fMRI scans have found that affirmations activate the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), a part of the brain involved in self-processing and reward response (Falk et al., 2015). This means affirmations can reinforce positive self-identity, making them a tool for reshaping negative thought patterns." -New Health Journal Examples of Affirmation: "All is well in my world." -Louise Hay "I am happy, I am free, I am under the umbrella of divinity." -Machel Shull "My life is full of beauty everywhere I see. I love my life and each person I meet. I thank God for all of my many blessings." -Machel Shull "When I feel weak, I lean into God's power. His strength is made perfect in me." -Joel Osteen Receive a FREE GIFT: Inspiredmindpodcast.com
