A fascinating new study has revealed that self talk, the inner dialogue you have with yourself — can physically change the brain, for better or worse. Scientists discovered that repeated positive or negative thoughts create measurable changes in brain structure, rewiring neural pathways and influencing mental health, memory, and behaviour.

Positive self talk can strengthen neural connections that promote confidence, emotional resilience, and problem-solving skills. Over time, this can help reduce stress, boost motivation, and improve overall well-being. On the other hand, constant negative self talk can reinforce anxiety, depression, and fear-based responses, making it harder to break out of harmful mental patterns.

Researchers say this discovery is a powerful reminder of how much control we have over our own brain health. By consciously practicing uplifting and constructive self talk, individuals can literally reshape their brain to be calmer, more focused, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

Mental health experts are encouraging people to pay attention to their inner voice and shift toward language that supports healing and growth. This finding proves that what you say to yourself truly matters, it’s not just a mindset, it’s brain science.

Your breath can rewire your brain in real time.

When you slow your breathing to 4-6 breaths per minute, you’re activating your vagus nerve, the superhighway of your parasympathetic nervous system. This triggers an immediate drop in cortisol and a surge in GABA, your brain’s primary calming neurotransmitter.

But here’s what a lot of people don’t know: consistent breathwork actually changes your brain structure. Studies show increased gray matter in the insula and prefrontal cortex – regions that control emotional regulation and stress resilience.

Think of it as upgrading your nervous system’s operating system. Every slow, deep breath is a signal to your body that it’s safe to digest, repair, and heal.

The prescription is simple: 4 counts in, 6 counts out, for 2-3 minutes. Your mitochondria, gut, and immune system are all listening.

Do we practice for pleasure only?
B.K.S. Iyengar had a lot to say about this:
“I think many have taken the meaning of Sukhata to the Sukha that leads toward attachments. Many of you are attached to the body and therefore you don't like the body to suffer from pain, hence you dislike the asana and jump to something else. If asana is pleasurable (Sukha) you enjoy it, but Sukha id not the same as steadiness.
Patanjali uses three terms Sukha, Duhkha and Ananda… You should know that there is a vast difference between the word Sukha and Ananda. Sukha means comfort and pleasing, while Ananda means delight, joy and bliss. Normally we mix these words and treat Sukha and Ananda as happiness. Sukha is felt at the level of the senses while Ananda is a spiritual quality. While performing an asana Sukha conveys the feeling of pleasing sensation, as Raga or attachment. Ananda is unbiased happiness or delight in the self. In asana Sthira and Sukha both stand for Ananda on the spiritual level.
No doubt many of us take to yoga as you have attachment to the body. You dislike pain in the Sadhana. Many of you are satisfied with the practice as long as you feel comfortable. This is considered a fulfilment of desires. You continue to practice as long as this comfort remains, but the moment the comfort fades out you give up."
From Astadala Yoga Mala, Vol VIII – What is Sthira Sukham Asanam, p. 153-154
