Are you relaxed yet? There’s something about those words, and in reality, ANY words, that impact your thoughts and feelings. So why do we make life so difficult by using language that is childish, uneducated, trashy, or just ignorant?
THE POWER OF WORDS cannot be overstated. Words are everything. Written, spoken, flashed on TV, and flooding the universe of the internet till the cows come home.
THE FASCINATION OF WORDS is mesmerizing. They tell us everything we want to know and a lot we don’t want to know. But words have revealed to us almost everything that is in our conscious and subconscious minds.
THE POWER OF WORDS cannot be overstated. And while we’re on the subject of how external inputs shape our minds, a team of Harvard scientists recently uncovered something that stunned them.
During their research on cognitive performance in older adults, they found a short, 3-minute sound pattern that seemed to trigger a dormant brain protein—one linked to sharper memory, faster thinking, and clearer focus.
Even more surprising?
It wasn’t just younger participants who responded. People in their 70s and 80s suddenly started recalling conversations, learning faster, and thinking more clearly than they had in years.
No expensive drugs.
No strict routines.
Just a few minutes of audio.
Some researchers say it works like flipping a switch on brain aging.
HOW WORDS SHAPE OUR THOUGHTS AND MINDS CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED
When we understand the complexity of our human minds and the power of words in our brains and lives, we wonder why we haven’t paid much attention to the phenomenon of words in our lives. This is why it is time to take a look at how WORDS shape you, influence you, and predict your future.
💡 HOW TO MAKE YOUR BRAIN WORK FOR YOU
Words produce visual images in your mind and stir your imagination. Just the word ‘cake’ immediately connects with the taste of cake, the texture of cake, and how and when you can get some!
Words urge you to action. Quick! Hurry! Go! Fast! Stop! Love! Hate! To name just a few, words have made you do something! Made you run, step on the gas, get moving, perform something, say something, look at something! In just short and simple one-syllable words, they have a tremendous impact on your life.
Words summarize your life. These words: home, marriage, partnership, children, football, school, graduation, study, career, money, steak, luxury…all these words mean something to you. They tell about you, and when you hear or read them, you connect. The word ‘home’ instantly shows you an image of your house or apartment, or wherever you live. The word ‘steak’ shows you an image of a nice restaurant with great steaks, juicy and cooked to perfection, with a baked potato beside it.
Words can make or break you. Words like Success, Failure, Disaster, Competition, Stock Market, and Career. These words call up images of yourself and how you are doing today, and where you have been in the process of your career-building, and where you hope to go.Learning how your brain really works is your ticket to freedom, sustainable wealth, and happiness. You can build companies, relationships, and fortunes — but they will not last unless your mind is in harmony with your vision.
Speaking trash about others makes you look as if you are jealous or feel inadequate.
Bragging is not a ‘right’; it can be insulting to others who know more than you do, but are smart enough not to brag about it.
Speaking in slang all the time, such as using ‘bro’, ‘hey man’, ‘what’s up’, ‘cool’, and other phrases, without ever speaking in grown-up adult language, can leave you behind and passed over for top management positions.
Here’s how to brush up on your vocabulary:
Step 1: Learn to appreciate language and the beauty of the complexity and intricate dance of words with one another.
Step 2: Take some classes in language arts. Read more, write more, study more.
Step 3: Add a new word every day to your vocabulary. Practice sentences using new words.
Step 4: Listen to podcasts of experts and try to mimic their style, their use of beautiful language, and how they use words to make a point.
LAZY OR AMBITIOUS?
