Pattern Interrupt: Breaking the Stress Cycle 6/7

Today on Self-Çare Saturday in the Suite Spot, Dr. Derek Suite will explore the power of affirmations as a neurologically based self-care practice to build resilience against stress. 

These seven carefully crafted affirmations help rewire neural pathways, transforming how your brain processes stress responses and creating lasting resilience.
SUITE SPOT KEYS:
• Affirmations work by forming new brain connections that support stress resilience
• The practice includes seven powerful statements focused on pausing between triggers and responses
• Transforming stress energy into productive action rather than letting it consume you
• Expanding awareness under pressure instead of narrowing focus
• Strengthening the insular cortex by observing stress without immediate reaction
• Recognizing natural motivation dips and having tools to revitalize energy
• Building a resilient brain through consistent, intentional practice
• Developing the capacity to respond rather than react as a daily strength

Choose one or two affirmations that resonate most deeply with you and repeat them at least three times today. 

Notice how they affect your mental state. 

Remember, self-care isn't self-indulgence—it's the foundation of sustainable resilience.

STAY AMAZING!
