Have you ever thought??
- Why some people get angry too easily?
- Why some people have low self-esteem and poor confidence level?
- Why some people have extremely low tolerance??
Words have power. Words can cure, as well they can also injure. Injuring words are spoken whenever we are emotionally charged, irritate, become anxious or impulsive. More often, these words injure a person first who use them before they injure the listeners. The quality of words which we choose to represent ourselves, depend upon our "Life Metaphor".
-
All of our earlier experiences and assumptions are stored in the mind box. The key of this mind box is called a ‘global metaphor’.
- This “global metaphor" comes from our belief system.
- Our thoughts are constantly guided by these metaphors.
-
One metaphor attracts another of similar nature.
- Metaphors acts as scaffold for anchoring new learning whether GOOD or BAD.
Metaphors
are thoughts initiators, catalysts, emotional chargers,
key to life or
internal
manager of the brain. If I own a negative metaphor e.g. I am critical then I will look everything critically and that too negatively critical. This will messed up my life as well as of all those who are around me.
Our physical, mental and emotional life is
guided by the vocabulary we choose for ourselves. Each word chosen by us has deep
impact on our emotions, thoughts and actions. As I said,
the words you choose to communicate are the indicators of your internal
representations and that is how you experience the words spoken by others.
Negatively poised words create negative internal emotions &
expressions, which guide our actions negatively. Negative emotions & expressions produce harmful internal chemicals
through our body chemistry. The type & frequency of production of such
chemicals depend upon your metabolism. Negatively oriented metabolism
create disease state in the body.
