PREFACE – WHY WORDS MATTER?

By making simple changes to what words you use in your daily life you can achieve positive behavioral changes.

Let’s see?

A brain imaging study by the UCLA psychologist showed us, that putting our feelings into words makes feelings such as anger, sadness, anger and any kind of emotional pain hurt a lot less. So, talking is good for us. And by being mindful what words you use, you can improve benefits of the talking even more.

When you say words like peace or love,  it can stimulate your hormones and minimize stress whether physical or emotional. While the negative words can cause your brain to discharge neurochemicals that’ll aggravate stress and damage the brain. If you just think about negative words, it will lead to the destruction of systems in the brain. When you meditate upon a positive word, it can bring joy, deep meaning, satisfaction, and fulfillment into your life.

A professor B. Roth at Stanford told, that you should watch your tongue. When you get rid of bad word choices, you will reap the fruits and benefits of positive language.

Instantly.

You can get better job offers, reach wider audience whatever you want to communicate, you can heal relationships and have more to say in any situation.

Your words have influence to yourself and your surroundings. Your words influence how people act towards you and how they perceive you.

When you use positive language, people will be uplifted by your example and they esteem you more highly. You will also change your own inner voice piece by piece. You will become more efficient, better communicator and reduce negative self-talk.

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny. - Mohandas K. Gandhi
