Some people are thinking – ‘change your words’ – what does that even mean?
Think of any great leader and one of the many qualities great leaders have is their command of the language they speak. If somebody asked you to think of great leaders, I expect it would be people like; Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, John F Kennedy, Martin L King, Mahatma Ghandi, etc
They spoke at different rates, different intensities and used differing tones, but they spoke clearly, and you understood their message. If you really pay attention to what they said you will notice there are a LOT of positive words used.
✅Use positive words
Words can create harm or bring about good.
I always tell my mentees that we do not have ‘problems’ we have ‘obstacles’. Obstacles can be overcome. That’s just 1 simple example of a change of vocabulary you can bring in immediately.
Expanding your vocabulary to include more positive words will have a direct impact on your mind which in turn will impact your life. You often do not need to expand your vocabulary but just be aware of using positive words and phrases instead of negative ones.
Using these different more positive words puts a different spin on the situation which in turn has a different emotional response. Imagine changing;
‘I’m so <swear word> upset now’ to
‘well, it’s a little hiccup in the road’.
Yes, it’s going to be strange at first, but you will notice the results.
Increasing your vocabulary will improve your life.
Try to monitor your words over the next few days and see if you can catch yourself using the negative words and then change them for something more positive.
