Words That Shape Us
Manage episode 486530537 series 3458089
Our language carries deep meaning that affects how we think, feel, and navigate life. The words we choose create our reality in profound ways that often go unnoticed until we pay careful attention.
• Moving from "resilience" to "agility" shifts us from rigid toughness to flexible movement
• Resilience implies weathering storms and surviving; agility suggests finding paths forward
• Most people only talk about resilience during struggles, not during success
• Emotional and cognitive agility allows us to navigate all experiences with greater ease
• "Surrender" isn't about giving up but about releasing rigid expectations while staying committed
• The words "force," "commitment," and "surrender" evoke different feelings in our bodies
• Our language, thoughts, feelings, and nervous system are all interconnected
• Being intentional with language can free us from limiting patterns
