Gray matter is the part of your brain that processes and controls emotions. The more you have the more able you are to trust pleasure, boost self-esteem, and have a peaceful response to triggers.

It’s simple for gray matter to dwindle, this happens when we hear consistent negativity about ourselves or about our surroundings. For example, a parent disparaging you as a child or seeing the dominant culture excluding people like you from opportunities based on your appearance rather than your skills.

While it’s easy for gray matter to decline, it is just as easy for your gray matter to expand and strengthen. The trick is a mixture of affirmations and positive representation. Be mindful of the content you consume, make sure there is more proof of people like you winning and thriving than the opposite. Second, put positive words that make you feel empowered all around you.

This is especially important when it comes to sex and love — two vulnerable things that can cause us to spiral into our deepest insecurities.

Where ever you are on your sexual empowerment journey, read through these affirmations and “if-firmations”…
