A Better Choice of Words

Written by BizCoachDeb on Apr 16th, 2008 | Filed under: Look What I Found

For those that have read the “Law of Attraction” by Michael Losier and other books of a similar theme, this site I found will be a welcome surprise. People talk, write and text every day, but for the most part, few take time and care with their word selection, just simply grabbing at the first thing on the tip of their tongue. Mr. Losier believes this to be a mistake, one that you can correct easily just by taking a bit of a pause. This list might help, it’s called “Winspiration: List of Positive Words.”

I listen to many people talk over the course of a week, some directly and others indirectly. You can tell a lot about people and the words they choose to use - they either empower or they don’t, but one thing they all can do is impact attitudes of the people hearing them. See what happens when you pick some from that list for only a day. You might be surprised by the results.
