Jim Doty: Cure Negative Self-Talk, Be More Mindful & Build Compassion
Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

Negative self-talk can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of stress hormones, which can depress the immune system and result in the release of inflammatory proteins. Shifting towards self-affirmation and positivity, and practicing self-compassion can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, ultimately helping in controlling destructive inflammatory processes in the body.
