does word of affirmation counts as a coping mechanism?

i somehow taught myself on automatically giving myself word of courage when i got into a melt/breakdown. if my negative thought comes naturally from myself then the courage did too but it felt like it didn't comes out of my own mouth. nevertheless, it never failed to calm myself down.

it came like a subconscious thoughts so it felt really natural.

only this past months i've been learning on how to use kind words to myself consciously and bringing it into a verbal word or action.

This allows my subconscious mind to absorb the positive words I hear while drifting

off to sleep. After a while, positivity takes over negativity during our waking day.

It's a retraining of your mind. It sounds like it is working for you. Continue on :) xx
