47. Language Matters. Words Counts

01/31/21 • 34 min

Words have power.
Words can start, AND END, wars. They can create AND HEAL disease. They can inspire AND HALT change. They can unite, or divide us. They can raise us up, or pull us down. They can perpetuate love, or prompt hate, inflict pain, and incite violence. They can educate, enlighten, specify, persuade, dissuade, influence, manipulate, evoke emotion, insult, provoke, uplift, break down, coax, motivate, move, and even kill... AND more. Words create our reality.

Words count. Language matters.
But what are words anyway? I might define a word as a single sound part, or combination of sound parts together. Words consist of vibration and sound.
The words of others can easily affect our personal vibration. BUT ...the most important words are the ones we say to ourselves... in the form of thoughts.
You have about 60-70 000 thoughts a day. Most of your thoughts (90% of which are negative) come in the form of conversations. 95% of the conversations you have during the day, are with yourself. Do the math. That’s a LOT of negativity running through your brain all day long.
How many times a day do we throw our words away? Think about how many times you catch yourself thinking, or saying “I hate my hair,” “I’m so stupid,” “I’m such a klutz.” “I’m just not good at...” We never think that these words bring negative energy into our vibration and affect us on a physical level, but they do.
The good news is that the same voice that tells you you’re not good enough, can be trained to tell you you are. I mean, it was trained to tell you you can’t in the first place, so it’s completely possible to retrain it to tell you you can.

Remember, YOU are the boss of your brain! You get to decide if a thought is true, or not. YOU get to choose which thoughts you believe, which ones serve you, and move you toward your goals and desires, and which ones don’t.
Today, I talk about how words can influence your mind - and body - and what you can do to ensure you're automating thoughts and words that serve you, and help create a reality that you want!

46. Welcome to The School of Your Dreams! Illuminated Life Schools with Heidi DeCoux

In your wildest dreams, what have you dared to imagine that school could be like?
A system that is truly committed to staff and students physical, mental and emotional wellness?
Free breakfast, lunch, and even dinner?
The majority of the day spent in passion-led exploration and learning?
Free before and after care?
Partnerships and internships with local community and global organizations who are doing good for the planet and its inhabitants?
Financial literacy and entrepreneurship?
A small "teacher" to student ratio?
A truly collaborative and supportive team environment free from hierarchies?
It almost sounds too good to be true... except it isn't.
Heidi DeCoux is an educational visionary (some may call her a "radical") with the determination and audacity to bring her vision into reality. She likens her Illuminated Life School model, to that of Uber - not trying to take on the taxi system itself, but rather offering an (elevated in this case) alternative to the current system available.
Every minute detail of the system, the school day, the planning and execution has been scrutinized through a lens of equity (from the fabric of the uniforms for those with tactile sensitivities, to the whole-food, home-grown free meals, to the 1.5hr drop-off time, to the instructional practices, gender, cultural, financial and religious inclusivity and equity) and mental and emotional wellness.
The spaces are open, shared and foster collaboration. Students groups are fluid, based not on age, but by interest and/or ability (depending on the task/project)...
And well, I'll let Heidi herself describe the rest.
Prepare yourself, Teacher Brain! This is going to blow your mind!

48. Heal Your Life and Unlock Your Greatest Potential Through Your Handwriting - with Misty Cogdill

Did you know that your handwriting reveals your personality traits, thought patterns, and blocks you have?
Did you know that when you fall in love, survive a serious illness, or change careers, your handwriting patterns change?
Did you know that letters have energy?
It's all connected to your subconscious. Your handwriting is a tool that can rewire your brain, and even help you overcome past trauma.
Changing your handwriting can help you get rid of bad habits and limiting beliefs that are holding you back from your fullest potential! Intentionally altering just a few letters, or your signature, can dramatically transform your entire life.
Today, I am talking to Misty Cogdill, a certified graphologist and coach who has been analyzing people's handwriting for over a decade, helping them achieve incredible growth and expansion in their personal lives and businesses, by helping them understand how their handwriting is holding them back, and showing them a few tips and tweaks to unlock their power and potential!
Misty shares with us a bit about her personal journey, how she got into this work, some of the most common letters that are inhibiting people from their greatest success, and some of the incredible breakthroughs her clients have made simply by adjusting a few pen strokes, or their signature.
Get out a pen and some paper for this one! You're going to want to take notes... and then analyze your writing within them!
Enjoy!
