Chapter 5 - Positive Affirmations

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255 plus 1 for military. https://www.stayalivevideo.com/resources In this section, Dr. Mark Goulston, Kevin Hines and Rayko discuss the power of positive self-affirmations to turn your negative thinking into positive thinking. Your inner critical voice comes from every negative, hurtful and spiteful things that has ever been done to you. When you are abused or neglected, physically, emotionally, or verbally, it goes to the 'back brain' and stays there unless you retrain the brain. For everyone of those negative thoughts, look in the mirror and give yourself positive affirmations. Retrain the inner critical voice to a positive one. Recite, Repeat. Believe. When you can find hope in the darkness of your hours, then you can find purpose. Gratitude and resilience are two of the greatest leading factors in preventing suicide. Listen to Rayko's story of stopping herself from committing suicide because she couldn't leave her mother. And how now she appreciates the simplest, smallest things in life. She realized she is grateful for what she has. Dr. Mark Goulston shares: Be a first class noticer. A good exercise that gets you out of yourself. Become curious. Be here. We love you. #stayalivenow
