The Power of Words

Some of us are in the habit of using the same negative words over and over again out of habit. The problem is that the more we hear, read, or speak a word or phrase, the more power it has over us. This is because the brain uses repetition to learn, searching for patterns and consistency as a way to make sense of the world around us. Only after being burned a few times can we understand that fire is always hot. You may not remember the exact end date of the Civil War, but odds are you still know what 8 x 9 is because you had to repeat your multiplication tables over and over again, drilling it into your consciousness. I'm sure you've experienced having a song stuck in your head all day long, and try as you might, you just can't get the melody out of your head. Repetition is the most powerful tool to imprint something into our minds and keep it there. Tune in and learn how words can determine our life!
