I have a question and it’s a pretty intense question - what would
your life be like if you could take all the negative emotions you ever felt and
lower their intensity so they didn’t impact you as powerfully, so you are
always in charge
What would your life be like if you could take the most positive
emotions and intensify them, thereby taking your life to a higher level? You
can do both of these. Change your words and you will change your experiences
and your outcomes.
So If I change the following words, I can change their impact on me.
For example:
Change:
- Afraid to disenchanted
- Confused to curious
- Exhausted to recharging
- Failure to learning
- Hurt to bothered
- Hate to I prefer
- Nervous to energised
- Overwhelmed to many opportunities
- Stressed to blessed
If I change the following positive words to even more positive, I
could increase their intensity and in turn increase the way they feel for me.
For example:
If I changed:
- Determined to unstoppable
- Excited to ecstatic
- Good to magic
- Good to vibrant
- Great to exuberant
- Interested to enthralled
- Motivated to passionate
- Okay to fantastic
- Okay to perfect
- Strong to invincible
- Terrific to ecstatic
How much more inspiring are these words?
If we are going to change the words we use, we are really changing
our habits. So how do you change habits?
To change habits, do the following:
Decide that you are committed
to having a life with deeper positive experiences and less negative experiences
Acknowledge that the language
you use has an impact on the experiences you have
Pick three words in the
positive category to replace and give more intensity to
Pick three words in the
negative category to replace and give less meaning to
Find people around you who can
support you. These three people will remind you (gently and nicely) that you
need to be using the new words
Do it for 10 days, then review
and tweak if needed
If you have found you enjoy
these new words then perhaps you can pick three more words to use so that your
language becomes your asset.
"Be an inspiration to yourself
and you will be an inspiration to others."
and you will be an inspiration to others."
