Often people use words as linguistic sledgehammers describing situational thumb tacts. One of the most powerful abilities we have is literally on the tip of our tongue. The power of language should not ever be underrated. By power I’m not talking from a grammatical or linguistic skill perspective, but from our ability to accurately depict, describe and language our experience.

In other words, so many people use inappropriately pounded words to describe their experience. For example, after watching my 10 year sons have their last swimming lesson for the school term, they appeared lethargic and devoid of their usual spark, perk and spunk. My mother in law watched, and afterwards at dinner she mentioned to our boys how that was a ‘disastrous ’ lesson. My wife immediately intervened by commenting, that it was far from disastrous, ‘they just seemed to have less energy today’.

Now compare the potential impact of this language on the very easily influenced...

More than ever before we need to mind our mind. The emotional experience is not to the virus but to the fear reaction of the masses. During this fascinating time in human history, like any other time we are living out our narrative, our story, in other words, the meaning we are giving our experiences.

EVERYTHING we experience in life in ALL areas are filtered through our very own personal unconscious editing process. This editing process happens so fast most of us don't question it. Life for all of us is experienced as though what we see appears in our lives as 'that’s just how it is'. Life is never 'just how it is', life is experienced ‘just how we are.’

All of our convenient assumptions have been created by us as our interpretation of what we witness or observe or experience. Lots of our assumptions have been influenced by someone else, such as our parents or guardians or whoever we hung around lots before the age of 10. As we get older all our beliefs (assumptions) we think are true, become very real and harden into fact. If all our...
