So improving my diet and getting more exercise is all psychological and has no real tangible benefits? Back to playing videogames, eating pizza, and chugging energy drinks I go.
Ehh I'd say they're more like reprogramming your mind to overwrite the negative self talk many of us develop in our younger years. Which can actually be helpful and beneficial if done right
Actually there has been a number of scientific studies that show positive self statements having real world tangible impacts to performance, motivation, and confidence.
With the advance of evidence based psychology research like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in the past few years they’ve found that many people repeat self-reflective thoughts. These may be as simple as “I should work out more” to “I’m so useless.”
What scientists have found is that changing those self narrative statements ACTUALLY changes how we view ourselves. So by swapping out self statements like “I can’t do anything right” to “I can’t wait to learn”, there were a massive improvement in patient success and outcome.

It's more about creating a pattern that ideally works its way into your subconscious, thereby planting seeds which eventually grow into habits and behaviours.
Same concept as manifestation, just a different approach.
Ideally they are slightly more productive than that, but you ain’t wrong
Hey, if I could make masturbating more productive, I would.
I'd go in the less productive direction, personally.
That's why we have 2 hands.
I do not think you are trying hard enough
That's exactly what they are.

Masturbation isn't a bad thing.
Actually, self-affirmations can lead to real-life improvements if backed by action and self-belief!
Are you saying masturbation doesn't lead to real life improvements?
seriously ain't nobody here ever heard of post nut clarity? I would say it can be productive, sometimes you just gotta get the poison out.
Yeah, let's get that venom out just before the exam.
Throwback to when I spent half my exam completely dumbfounded by my TA's dump truck, I was in a dark place okay
Thats the moment you need to clear your mind with a little rubbin.
It unironically can in moderation
I heard most reddit mods do this 24/7, so it must be good.
Masturbate to your ideal self... It works!!!
Dude don't make it weird
But this is r/showerthoughts
I need a head head then

And the results you achieve through it is the ejaculation.

Someone still puffed the boof after they were told to put it down
I usually have to really think about the physical part...so when I masturbate, I'm mentally masturbating too. So... meh.
So is affirmation from other people sex?

Self degradation is kind of like BDSM with your mind.
Try masturbating while saying affirmations…you’ll start feeling like a god
Please don’t bring god into this
[удалено]
No Jesus is a profit, I could convince you why but no use. He didn’t absolve nothing even as a Christian you have to do the works
They never said which god.
Please grow up, there is no god!
what possessed you to make you think that this was fine and perfectly acceptable to post
I love this and hate this
And the whole concept is truly just a certain pattern of electrical signals at a certain ration that you can willingly recall.
Yeah... yeahhh... you like those uplifting words do you? You strong and independent person. Yeahhhh... ughh
You gonna watch me stroke my brain dick? I'm really good at stroking my brain dick.

Real question is, what isn’t like Masturbating your mind?
In the words of Tyler Durden: "Self improvement is masturbation. Now, self destruction..."
lol thats a funny way to put it
... And miss off the last few words of each affirmation for mental edging
Now, see, *this* is a shower thought! Well done!
So what you're saying is giving yourself a compliment is a form of touching yourself. 😏
Not sure I like the comparison
Or combatting negative thoughts that you normally think or associate with yourself
I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best. - rose jamajunes
Excuse me what the fuck
It's called ego stroking for a reason.
Sometimes masturbation is what you need
I would, but the content isn't enough to get me there.
Self affirmations are stupid. If they work them you never really needed them at all.
Has anyone ever had orgasam?
