“Words form the string of pearls on which we thread our experiences.”
Aldous Huxley

Transformative Vocabulary

Words? They serve to make us laugh or cry. They can wound or heal, instill hope or devastate us. With words, we can express our noblest intentions and reveal our deepest desires.

Many of us are aware of the influential role words have played in our history and the power talented speakers possess to prompt us to think and act. You too can use these powerful words! Change your usual vocabulary, the terms you constantly use to express your feelings. Then you can change your mindset, your emotions, and your lifestyle in no time. Imagine how your life would unfold if you could dampen the intensity of all negative feelings to the point where they no longer have a significant impact and you feel in control. How would your life unfold if you could enhance your most positive feelings and thus improve your quality of life? You will see, this can be accomplished in a fraction of a second.

Exercise for This Week

Take a moment, perhaps right now!

1. Detecting negative feelings
Note down 3 words you repeatedly use to put yourself in a bad mood (bored, frustrated, angry?). When choosing, make sure you regularly use these terms to paralyze and deal destructively with yourself. To identify some of the words that need to be transformed, ask yourself: What negative feelings do I regularly experience?

2. Now put yourself in an over-the-top, exuberant mood!
Spontaneously and randomly invent some new words that you think could serve to change your emotional intensity in some way. Choose a word you would like to use instead of the old, limiting one.

Example:
If the term “angry” puts you in a bad mood, use the word “unpleasantly touched” instead. Perhaps the new term makes you laugh a little, thus fulfilling the purpose of the exercise, as it causes an abrupt interruption of the old pattern!

Metaphor of the Week

Learning Effect

First Day:
I walk along a street, on the sidewalk. Suddenly a hole opens up in front of me. I fall in. I am lost. I know I must die. I pitifully call for help. Then, after an endlessly long time, someone comes to my aid, helps me out of the hole.

Second Day:
I walk along the same street, on the same sidewalk. Unexpectedly, the hole opens up in front of me again. I fall in. I am afraid. But I pull myself together, and I realize that there is a way I can free myself. It's arduous, but I finally succeed.

Third Day:
I walk along the same street, on the same sidewalk, and there is the same hole again. I fall in again – out of sheer habit. I am annoyed with myself, climb out the now familiar way, and continue on.

Fourth Day:
I walk along the same street again, on the same sidewalk, see the hole in front of me - and cross to the other side of the street.

Fifth Day:
I take a different street.
