In these blogs I talk a lot about the language we use.
Because our words help steer our thoughts.
Which drives our actions, behaviours, habits and results.
Changing the words we use can help steer is in a different direction.
It’s not an instant change and everything’s instantly different, of course.
But, like moving the rudder a little on a large ship, it can make a big difference over time.
The words we change to can’t feel ‘fake’ though.
It has to feel real.
Just a different way of seeing the situation.
How we experience emotions is a big one.
If we describe ourselves as “an an anxious person”………
Or that we “have anxiety”………
Then will that more us more or less anxious?
More I would wager.
“I feel anxious more than I’d like” is equally true.
But it feels a bit different doesn’t it.
“I care a lot about how things go”.
“I get butterflies over things that are important to me”.
“It can make me feel uncomfortable when I challenge myself and go outside my comfort zone”.
All equally valid, no?
All likely to lead to a difference in how we experience those emotions?
Much love,
