Powerful Language Hacks that will ACCOMPLISH YOUR MISSION!

Background

Assuming that your inner intentions are for the good of yourself, others, and the environment, there is a powerful tool you can use. It's your language. Not everyone is aware of the power held in their attentions and intentions; however, we all know that the words we use can have a huge impact on ourselves and others. And most times, these words have an immediate effect. Know this: all words have an immediate effect on everything. Everything.

Have you heard of the term "Abracadabra"?

It's a powerful concept. And I truly wish that all of you realize the importance of this word. More on that later.

Easy Language Hacks for Noobs

These hacks are specifically meant for human language. Every day when you awake, select a word that you say often from this list. Once you have selected this word, you must make yourself "aware" of this word throughout the day and strategize to change your habit of using this word. Your strategy will involve communicating differently. Even though this exercise is easy, it can sometimes be uncomfortable to change habits. Still, it's easy, and it can be done... and it is the equivalent of waking yourself up when you are falling asleep. IT CAN BE DONE. And these language hacks are your "coffee" tool.

NO / NOT:

I will start with the hardest example. Refrain from using negatives, because every time you refer to the negatives, you are giving attention to something that is against your intentions and goals. Using "nots" or "no's" is a great way to sabotage your desires :) Communicate your intentions without this word.

TRY TO:

There are many words to replace the phrase "try to". Personally, I use the word "totally" or "absolutely", depending on the context. For example, "I will try to finish." When we say this word, we are showing submission to who we really are--the power that we truly hold. You have a lot more power than the word "try" gives you credit. Now say this instead, "I will absolutely finish." -- WHOA! That's powerful. "I will totally finish.", ok, this is softer, and it is still much more powerful :)

IF:

When you become a robot, the word "IF" may serve you. And you are not a creation from man; you are the creation. Instead of using the word "IF", use the word "WHEN".

"If I had the money, I would buy a Lamborghini." becomes "When I have the money, I will buy a Lamborghini." -- OH YEA!

And this is the truth. There is no existence to "if" you own a Lamborghini or "if" you have money. Your reality has the option to be "when" you have the money, or "when" you buy the Lamborghini. That "when" can be never, and it is still absolutely relevant. Get rid of "if" and use "when" to your advantage.

SHOULD:

Yeaaa...forget about "should"! Similar are words like "could" and "would", and they also express valid thought processes. Ultimately, there is a huge benefit when you are definite in your words, your intentions, and the focus of your attention.

  • Replace "I should..." with "I will...". "Should" has the meaning that something is a better choice, and even the best choice. "I will..." is clearly a superior form--and more efficient--than saying, "It is best that I...".
  • Replace "I could..." with "I can..."
  • Restructure any sentence containing "would" to be a sentence completely absent of "would". I am so ashamed to even type this sentence... :)

BUT:

Words like "however" or phrases such as "on the other hand" are good to show polarity. And when it comes to the word "but", I find this word to be destructive when combined with one's purpose. You will see and understand this, too, once you practice replacing "but" with "and"! It is liberating! Here are some examples,

  • "I like bananas, but apples are my favorite." becomes "I like bananas, and apples are my favorite."

This is a subtle language hack that becomes powerful in combination with the other language improvements. I find it powerful because the word "but" is a common word that holds people back from their potential.

YOU:

Whether we like it or not, the examples we give to others to help communicate our ideas can often have unintentional consequences, such as offending the listener.

Instead of saying "you" to directly refer to people in theoretical circumstances, use words like...

  • "we" / "ourselves" / "us" -- to humbly include yourself on the issue, or
  • "one" / "they" / "them" -- referring to the individual human being used as an example, whoever they may be...

"When you drink a lot, you start to get liver problems. Let's say you did harm yourself intentionally, then others may not respect you!"

This becomes...

  • WE / US: "When we drink often, we begin to have liver problems. Let's say we did harm ourselves intentionally, then others may not respect us!"
  • ONE / THEY: "When one drinks often, they begin to have liver problems. Let's say one did harm oneself intentionally, then others may not respect them!"

HOPE:

"I hope I get to go to the prom."

  • "I wish to go to the prom." - This states your intention. Let's turn this up a notch:
  • "I will go to the prom." ...and now we are using our powerful desire!

BONUS: Avoiding Focus on the Negative

When one is tempted to say, "I am not good at" something, they are forgetting that they always improve! Instead of stating that one is not good at something, a more powerful form is to state, "Soon I will be good at" something.

Summary

I will share with you one last example sentence that contains all of these lesser-quality words to demonstrate the weaknesses and ill consequences of communication. Through this comparison you will have the opportunity to see the power in hacking your language choice to their empowering forms. After language was used to hold us back, we ultimately abolished the waste of time and deficient communication with fruitful, powerful words. This is how we command our reality!

"If you don't pay for your car on time, then you should try to spend less! But that takes dedication!"

Behold! The successor form of communicating and actualizing your intentions:

"When one spends less, they are more abundant and will totally make their payments on time. And that takes dedication!"

Neat, eh? :)

Oh, and about Abracadabra, I will post more on that tomorrow. You're in for a treat :)

Please, share with us your language hacks and other examples!

Thank you! :)

It is my wish to serve you with these words!

Some info about me: I've been involved with Bitcoin since 2010. By trade I am an expert on blockchain technology. I am the Project Director for Wall of Coins, and CEO for Genitrust, Inc. I eat primarily fruits and leafy greens ("fruitarian"). This is known as a frugivorous diet, which is the diet by design of the human species and most primates. I don't cook my fruits, so you may also call this "raw vegan". I have eaten virtually every food item and major cultural style on this planet. I have experienced long periods of many different diet regimens: acid/alkaline, ketogenic, vegan, etc. In my spare time as a child, and an adult, I truly relished reading articles, books, and research papers on nutritional observation. I also enjoy and frequently practice long periods of juice fasting, water fasting, and dry fasting.

Thank you for reading, upvoting, and re-steeming!
