Podcast Summary
Language and control: Changing 'can't' to 'don't' can help us take charge, make conscious choices, draw boundaries effectively, and increase positivity and resilience
The way we use language, specifically the word "can't," can impact our mindset, emotions, and sense of control. When we say "can't," we're implying that something is outside of our control, but when we say "don't," we're taking charge and making a conscious choice. By changing "can't" to "don't," we can draw boundaries more effectively and take responsibility for our actions, leading to increased positivity and resilience. Kate Cocker from the Volley Network encourages listeners to make this simple word change and offered a related phrase change for more control in future episodes.
