If I had the power to give positivity to everyone, I would start by our language, our communication.
What do I mean by this ?
By this I mean changing our verbal communication from negative to positive. By this I mean I would eliminate all the “I Cant’s” with “I Can’s”.
You see linguistics play an important role in our lives. Words that come out of our own mouths are very powerful, yet because we have been programed to use the words we are use to, our subconscious catches on and follows our commands.
Let me give you an example
If someone tells you “How are you? Some of us, inclusive of myself in the past, would say “not bad”....
Not bad here means “actually I am bad, could be better”.
If someone asked you “How are you today” and you answered “Fantastic, brilliant, Great”. They would look at you with a different perspective, they might even be surprised (why is she/he so happy?).
The most common answer I get to creating positive communication amongst my clients is
“But I do not feel great, fantastic, brilliant, why should I say this”
You might not feel great, fantastic, brilliant, thats true, but with enough persuasion, your subconscious mind will follow your command, and within a short time period, change will happen.
If we had to use the same philosophy at work and we decided today we would start a fresh and inject positive verbal communication, our work could change dramatically.
Example
How’s work going ? Work is very rewarding. I challenge myself to become better everyday. I love to push myself to find solutions, I love to work with my team, work is brilliant.
I don't know about you, but if someone told me this, I’d probably want to come and work with you. Yes, that's right, it can be that simple.
Try something new this week/weekend or fine tune yourself.
Use positive communication and see what happens.
