Positive words are like pharmaceutical drugs-without the side effects.
We know, without a doubt, that positive language has the power to improve your life.
AND the opposite is true: Remember the playground mantra, “Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never harm you”…?
It’s not true.
Words CAN hurt you.
Negative language can leave a mark on your brain, like a verbal bruise. Research confirms that verbal abuse during childhood can change brain structure, creating a lasting imprint on the corpus callosum.
Be intentional about how you speak to yourself.
Your brain hears everything you say.
Your body hears, too.
What do you say to yourself on a daily basis?
When it comes to food, your health, your weight, your body, what’s the predominant story that you tell?
Tell yourself an empowering story, and with those magic words, you’re setting yourself up for a better experience.
