Episode notes

Having a vocabulary for the different emotions that you might experience is like a directory allowing you to call up a greater number of strategies to cope with life. I was first introue to this conceptis called transformative vocabulary by tony robins. If you just slightly change the way that you say something, you can actually change the feeling that it creates within you and thus the action that you take from that. The same thing happened to me when i committed to and failed subsequent times, to never criticise, condemn or complain,. But basically, there is no good reason to criticise. Condemn or complain. You feel better. Your thoughts actually change to see the world in a more positive

Language is one of the most powerful tools that humans have accessible to them.

Don't believe us? Consider the fact that someone could walk up to you and say something that could immediately change your mental state.

Nothing around you has changed, other than the words echoed through the air.

In this episode, Cal and Steph discuss the power of words and how language can shape the way we think. They use untranslatable words to convey these concepts and share how language has been shown to impact anything from our impression of time, space, or even emotional regularity.

If you're interested in digging into this more, Steph has built a directory of untranslatable words (Eunoia, which itself is an untranslatable word) and has written an article about the topic here. Send us a message with your favorite "untranslatables"!
