Bar none, the most simple and useful access point to begin creating change in our lives is by shifting how we talk to ourselves and others. Our thoughts and language directly affect how we feel, breathe, act, and so much more.
Today I decided to string together a few powerful episodes where I chatted with experts in language and creating change. You’ll hear from four previous guests: Mary Shores, Mark England, Bonnie Kelly, and Rick Hanson.
In this brief format, you’ll hear about some ways to start observing your language and self-talk, some simple shifts to make, and how to make change last.
