“If you are to record every word you’ve used for a week, would you say a large percentage of them would be positive or negative in nature?”

This extensively researched article written by Marj Galangco on her website is a MUST read if you want to learn about how you can change your language to be more successful. The article provides a wealth of extra resources including books, links and some great quotes to help explain certain areas of this topic.

“Words have the power to move us to action, to shape our destiny, give us hope, uplift our spirits, even change history. Language is a tool that, if used properly can propel us towards the things we truly want. Equally, words can be used to hurt us, crush our resolve, suck our energy, and weaken our conviction.  If used unwisely or without clear intention, language can keep us stuck, away from the things we want the most.” says Marj

The article itself is split into two halves, the first covering an investigation into the use of successful language;

1. Winners and achievers speak differently compared to losers.
Marj explains in detail how losers tend to speak a language that conveyed fear, uncertainty, and insecurity and truly successful people tend to  speak a language that is rich with certainty, confidence, enthusiasm

2. The language we use for self-talk directly influences our self-concept and vice versa.
Here Marj discusses how the words we use to talk to ourselves are greatly determined by your sense of self-esteem and self-worth.

3. The language we use shape other people’s concept of us.
The concept and importance of that fact that the language we use works like an advertisement is explained in this section.

4. Words people use often reveal their beliefs and values.
Think about the fact that you draw conclusions about that people simply by listening closely to the words they use. What conclusions are people making about you?

5. We can change our experience by changing our words.
The quote from Anthony Robbins explains what this section is all about. “Simply by changing your habitual vocabulary – the words you consistently use to describe the emotions of your life – you can instantaneously change the way how you think, how you feel, and how you live.”

6. If you work with people, words is one of tbe most powerful tools you can use to impact others.
Ever bought something really expensive on impulse? Marj shares her research on why this happens.

The second half of the article gives 6 well explained tips on how you can start speaking the language of success today! Visit her website to read all the tips, but here is just one example to wet your appetite;

Example Tip: Act “as if”
There is a behavioural-change technique in NLP called ‘reframing’. Reframing simply means changing state, and one effective way to reframe is by ‘acting as if’. For example, you can choose to act and speak in abundant ways even if you are broke. By doing so, you stimulate the neurological structure that supports your chosen behaviour. Positivity, abundance, wealth, etc. are going to be associated and ‘get wired’  into your brain simply because of your new language and empowering behaviour. So you see, when you change your language, you’re changing your thought pattern, you’re unconditioning your mind, you’re retraining yourself to think in a new way. You can also use language to consciously reprogram yourself and link pleasure to things you previously linked massive pain to.
