Don’t Forget to Say Remember

You should try not to use the words “should” and “try”.

Be mindful of using empowering language, rather than disempowering language.

Where thought goes, energy flows.

Every word has impact.

When you say “Don’t forget to feed the penguins”, you are also saying “…forget to feed the penguins”. This is weak and disempowering language.

When you say “Remember to upload our new cat video to the internet”, it is unequivocal and affirmative. This language is proactive and empowering.

Be mindful of the words you use. Notice you may feel different, and better, when you use positive, proactive, affirmative, empowering language. You may notice the effect you have on others as well.
