Are you Living a Little Life?

Practical Magic Podcast with Kate Taylor

On the show today, I'm talking about how the language we use creates our reality. From the verbal language we use, to the non-verbal, the 'language' we use to speak to ourselves, about ourselves, makes a difference to our levels of ability, confidence and sense of self. And ultimately; creates our reality.

As a Master NLP Practitioner, I'm fascinated by the way linguistics and language creates both positive and negative effects on us. I noticed it recently when a friend was telling me about her flourishing new business, and described it as her 'little' business. I hear it a lot, and it's predominantly language that women use; the 'little's, the 'just's; we don't own our contribution to something incredible.

On the show I share:

• The narratives we are fed as kids as how they shape our adult world
• How apologetic vs. unapologetic language affects us - did you know that women are 4 x more likely to use apologetic language!
• How the language we use can change the way we take ownership of blame, and add unnecessary emotion to a situation
• How our language creates our identity
• Why the word 'should' creates excess pressure and guilt.
• And ways in which we can reframe self talk and language to remove restrictions, and create freedom.
