It’s our choice if we want to be happy or stay as lonely as ever. Happiness is a mode of traveling; it is not a destination. Our happiness or unhappiness is mainly not because of what happens, but on how we look at what will happen in a certain situation. In other words, it is through our thinking habits, and depending on what we think and how we think about it, habits can be changed as well.

We can set our minds to interpret hindrances to become positive opportunities. We may be able to develop a skill slowly, one word or one phrase at a time. Like for instance, we can get rid of the words “I failed…” from our vocabulary, and we may replace it with “I learned…” so that we may be able to concentrate more on the positive lessons involved around it. Also instead of saying the word “problem” always, we should get used to the habit of saying “challenge”, “I’m getting better at…” instead of “I’m no good at…”, and “I will be glad to” rather than “I will have to”.

The subconscious effect of changing a few words will be able to tell your mind to think more creatively in a positive manner rather than getting away from the problem on hand.

It takes just as much energy to say a positive word as it does a negative one. In fact, it may actually take less. Research has shown that when we speak positive words - even in difficult circumstances or troubling situations - we become relaxed. As we relax, the flow of blood to the brain increases. A well-oxygenated brain can think more creatively, make wise decisions, find reasonable solutions and generate pertinent answers.


Positive words ease relationships and create an atmosphere of peace that is conducive to rest, relaxation and rejuvenation - all of which are necessary for good health.

A continual flow of negative words causes relationships to suffer, which creates an atmosphere of disharmony and makes for fitful sleep and frayed nerves - none of which are healthy!

Contrary to popular thought, negative words do not release tension. They keep the body in a state of tension, constricting muscles and blood vessels, which often causes irrational behavior.

One of the best things we can do for our overall health is to carefully monitor our speech habits!
