From Negative to Positive: Rewiring Your Brain for a Brighter Future With Positive Words

Happiness Within Chaos

In today's episode, hosts Deb Turton and Guy Daigneault are back for the second season of the podcast to talk about the power of positive words and language and how they can transform the way you think about the most important areas of your life.

• Words have the incredible power to affect your internal state, but also the physical state of your brain. Using positive words instead of negative words can have an immediate effect on your internal state.
• If you put positive words into your brain, what do you think will be the end result? More often than not, positive words will lead to positive results.
• Deb uses the positive words fun, commitment, and honesty to describe relationships for her. For Guy, his words are commitment, unity, and acceptance.
  • Every relationship has to involve fun. Life is filled with drudgery and we have to choose to bring fun and joy into the relationships in our lives. Don’t put off having fun and enjoying your life.
  • Commitment is being dedicated. Be where you say you are going to be on time, and follow through on the things you say you are going to do.
  • Honesty in a relationship is crucial. Honesty means sincerity, fairness, and straightforwardness of conduct. Don’t waste the relationship on BS. If you can’t be honest, you end up walking on eggshells never knowing when you’ll step on the hidden landmine. A lack of honesty gradually erodes every relationship. Anything can be said or discussed as long as there is respect.
  • Unity is all about bringing like-minded people together that are working toward the same result. Find the people that are united and can support you as you support them.
  • Accepting one another the way we are makes life much easier and happier.
• When you get your Happiness Score, you can look at each area of your life and find the three positive words that define that area for you.
• In terms of finance, Guy values growth, control, and freedom. Growth is about increasing material wealth. Control is about taking into account extraneous factors that might affect the result. Freedom is about the power to act without constraint, which is the ultimate goal of financial freedom.
• For Deb, she values abundance, flow, and security. Abundance is about having ample quantity, similar to what freedom means for Guy. Flow is about moving forward. Security is about feeling free from danger and anxiety.
• You can have the same words as someone else but they can mean something different to you. Choose your words because your brain will adapt the meaning for you and put a positive spin on them.
