Stress Busters for Environmental Leaders
BAM! Choose Your Words Carefully
The past year has been marked by intense rhetoric from political parties, special interest groups, the media, and even our loved ones. During these tense moments, the power of words becomes more palpable than ever. Words have energy and they can either uplift or tear down individuals. As motivational speaker Tony Robbins points out, great leaders and thinkers throughout history have harnessed the power of words to transform emotions, rally support for causes, and shape destiny.
The idea that words have energy is not just a metaphorical one. Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto conducted experiments demonstrating that thoughts, words, and feelings can influence the molecular structure of water. When directed at water molecules, concentrated thoughts produce symmetrical patterns, while negative thoughts result in asymmetrical and chaotic patterns. Given that the human body is made-up of approximately 60 to 70% water, negative words and thoughts have the same impact on the water in our bodies that Emoto observed in his laboratory. Those words and thoughts can cause damage in the body.
Because of this relationship, it is important to choose our words carefully, especially when it comes to how we speak to ourselves. The words we choose shape our self-image and our outlook on life. The most valuable worlds in the world are the ones we direct towards ourselves. We must consciously choose positive, loving words to curate symmetrical patterns in the water within us and cultivate a healthy mind-body connection.
