Sticks and Stones: how words impact our biology and shape our reality

from The Nativist · host The Nativist

You may have been told (scolded?) to watch your language. Turns out, that’s sound advice.  Because words really do matter - just ask science. Research repeatedly demonstrates the effect words have on our genes and on our bodies at a cellular level(!) , thereby impacting our physiology and health (mental and physical). HOW NEAT IS THAT (no question mark because it’s undeniably neat - not up for debate thankyouverymuch). In this episode: I get geeky, citing study after study showing how what we think and say to ourselves and others has a measurable impact and directly influences our experiences and perceptions (and relationships and and and…). I identify traps to avoid I offer tips on leveraging this power to manifest what you want and to create a happier, healthier, more harmonious life. Thank you for listening!
