Gratitude balances stress by reminding us of life's goodness. Speaking life involves acknowledging challenges while choosing hope.
"Every word we speak builds something. An atmosphere, an expectation, a belief."
Ever wondered what it takes to speak life into your daily routine? In this episode of Encouragementology, Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, unpacks the power of language in shaping our mindset and overall well-being. Kendell emphasises how the words we choose—whether spoken aloud or silently in our minds—can either drain our energy or bolster our strength. Imagine the ripple effect of one negative thought spiralling into a mood that affects your entire day.
Kendell argues that by consciously choosing our words, we can set off a chain reaction towards peace and restoration. The episode explores how speaking life isn't about pretending everything's perfect but rather about recognising the impact of our words on our reality. Kendell shares fascinating insights into how self-affirming language can release dopamine, motivating us and enhancing our resilience.
She challenges listeners to flip the script on negativity, suggesting practical exercises like setting a positive tone in the morning or ending the day with words of forgiveness. Kendell's wisdom is backed by science, as she highlights studies showing how negative self-talk can elevate stress levels and lower immune function. By choosing words of hope, belief, and gratitude, we can cultivate an environment where healing and peace thrive.
So, are you ready to tune into your inner dialogue and make a conscious choice to speak life? Kendell's engaging narrative offers a compelling invitation to transform your mindset and, ultimately, your life.
