Self-affirmations.
Visualizations.
- "Love kindness meditation [visualization focused] enhanced a wide range of positive emotions in a wide range of situations, especially when interacting with others. We find these data especially promising. LKM appears to be one positive emotion induction that keeps on giving, long after the identifiable "event" of meditation practice." https: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3156028/
- "The use of mental techniques to strengthen mental toughness is well accepted for professional athletes at times of championships. In professional sports competitions, different mental techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation techniques, breathing techniques, autogenic training, hypnosis, biofeedback, and visualization have been shown to be able to improve the mental skills of professional athletes" https: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27172777
Fabricated laughter
- Lowers the stress hormone cortisol. It improves the signs of physical and sleep disorders, lowered anxiety and depression, and promoted their social function. https: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3917183/
- "Chronic Stress impacts Limbic system and Hypothalamus continuously and leads to Adrenaline secretion and causes disruption in immune system. Indeed, Laughter balances sympathetic and parasympathetic system; moreover, it functions as an anti-stress. Furthermore, laughter increases Endorphin in brain. Endorphin seems to be the most easily linked structure to morphine, both function in the exhilaration and lessening of pain." https: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4307100/
