The Sticks and Stones Saying... Yeah It's Crap

Many of us grew up repeating the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." While it may have been intended to build resilience, I've come to believe it's simply NOT true.In today’s episode, I’m talking about why that saying is crap. The words we hear, and the ones we tell ourselves, shape what we believe and how we experience the world.The encouraging news? Those stories aren't permanent. Through neuroplasticity, we can build new pathways and choose thoughts that better serve us. If you've been carrying thoughts that no longer serve you, know that change IS possible.In this episode, I cover:How words shape our thoughts, beliefs, and reality + how repeated thoughts create permanent neural pathwaysHow limiting beliefs can be rewritten through neuroplasticityChanging your thoughts that you practice every day + pairing with grace & self-compassionPersonal examples of changing limiting beliefs in everyday lifeWhy releasing resentment starts with changing the story you tell yourselfHow small shifts in thinking can create lasting transformationMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/sticks-and-stonesConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at [email protected] & Links:Episode 143: Why Self-Awareness Is Important and Also SucksSchedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for you – mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off!Check out my merch shopJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting
