012 Wellness Wednesday Episode - Words Matter

Welcome to today's Wellness Wednesday edition of the Mental Pause Podcast with Tracey.Today, it is all about WORDS MATTER.Inspired by a recent LinkedIn post of a dear friend and the reminder of Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements."As human beings, we use our words in ways that can positively and negatively impact others. While we may be mindful or "impeccable" with our words, they are not always interpreted or received in how we present them. Over the last few decades, I can share from personal experiences how words have significantly changed my life in ways that I wasn't consciously aware of. Only now, at half a century old, am I able to reflect on the past trauma and bring to the forefront learnings that are now awarenesses in my body.Do you check in on those you communicate with to ensure they have interpreted your messages as intended? How do you reflect on the way someone's words made you feel? Do you have the courage to reach out and let someone know that the story you are focusing on with the words shared may not be as intended?Let's remind ourselves and one another when we may not have interpreted the words and their meaning appropriately. Until next time, TraceyFollow me on Insta @mental.pause
