This special version of our Talking Hearts contains 45 pre-recorded positive self-affirmations specifically selected for senior citizens. Each time the heart is pressed one inspiring affirmation will play at random. Talking Hearts will help you to develop healthy thinking patterns that will boost confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing.
"I will succeed today... My life becomes richer as I get older... and I'm calm, happy and content". As we go through life, these types of words and feelings are fundamental, and should be instilled within their belief systems. Unfortunately, the human mind tends to favour negative self-talk. However, this doesn’t mean we should talk down to ourselves and allow those negative thoughts to marinate.
Positive affirmations are short and concise statements that individuals repeat to themselves to challenge those negative thoughts and instil positive alternatives. These self-affirmed statements are positively weighted and foster a positive outlook in a person’s mind and belief system.
APPLICATIONS:
Promote positive self-talk to develop healthy daily habits.
Develop strong self-esteem to combat anxiety, stress and low confidence.
Set daily repetitions of positivity to influence thoughts, emotions and feelings.
Create and encourage new habits to promote a positive change in behaviour.
Improve emotional intelligence to recognise, share and understand emotions.
Increase psychological wellbeing to improve self-motivation.
Develop a positive response to challenges and learn to manage feelings of fear and anxiety.
The mental health difficulties that seniors face are equal, if not more pronounced than those felt by their younger counterparts. From 65 onwards, the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders increases, as do other problems such as social isolation and psychosis. To make matters worse, the presence of these issues also creates what is termed as co-morbid elderly depression and anxiety, which is when the physical disorders developed through old age lead to a deterioration of mood.
If we feel loved, valued and courageous, this is how we will behave. However, if we feel scared, unimportant and worthless, we will behave in a way that is congruent with those feelings.
Talking Hearts can be used independently, or on a 1-2-1 basis or in group sessions that involve friends or family. Use the hearts every day to remind yourself just how awesome you are!
Matthias Laroche, (B.Sc. – Psychology and M.Sc. – Neuropsychiatry), has written three very interesting articles for us, which we would thoroughly recommend for further reading on this subject. Matthias explains exactly what self-affirmations are, why they work and how we can integrate them into our daily lives. Please click on one of the links below. There are three articles, one for each of the different age groups...
