Episode notes
Language Is An Instruction Manual
- Language shapes thought, behavior, and belief because it acts as an instruction manual to the brain.
- Alexis Fernandez emphasizes that clear language reduces gray areas and increases trust in yourself and others.
Replace 'I'll Try' With Specific Actions
- Replace vague phrases like "I'll try" with concrete commitments you can follow through on.
- Say "I will go to the gym once this week" rather than overcommitting to make follow-through likelier.
Subconscious Hears Literal Messages
- The subconscious takes repeated language literally and doesn't process nuance, so simple phrases shape outcomes.
- Saying "I'm stuck" programs your brain to seek evidence of being stuck instead of problem-solving.
