Words have so much power and what you tell yourself has power and how you change.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of negativity? In this episode of Middleish, hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray tackle a surprisingly powerful tool: the phrase 'Yes, And...'. Instead of using 'but', which often negates progress, they suggest swapping it out for 'yes, and...' to open up new perspectives. This isn't just wordplay; it's about reshaping how you view your achievements and setbacks. Think about it—how often do you say, 'I went to the gym, but only once'?
What if you said, 'I went to the gym, yes, and I'm planning to go again'? This small change can make a big difference in how you feel about your efforts and progress. Erin and Michael dive into the impact of language on behavior change. They emphasize that words have power and can shape our mindset. By using 'yes, and...', we can start seeing opportunities instead of obstacles. It's a way to acknowledge our feelings without letting them limit us.
For example, saying 'I started journaling, yes, and I’m working on being more consistent' keeps the door open for growth. The episode also highlights the importance of being mindful and present. By accepting where we are right now with a 'yes, and...' mindset, we can avoid the trap of all-or-nothing thinking. This approach encourages us to be okay with our current state while still aiming for improvement.
It's about finding peace in the moment and recognizing that progress is a journey. Finally, Erin and Michael discuss the value of being honest with ourselves. Acknowledging both our strengths and weaknesses allows us to create realistic plans for growth. It's not just about admitting where we fall short but also celebrating where we excel. So if you're looking for a fresh way to boost your mindset and embrace life's challenges, this episode of Middleish is a must-listen.
Tune in and start practicing 'Yes, And...' in your daily conversations. You might just find that this simple shift can lead to profound changes in how you see yourself and your world.
