On today’s episode, we are talking all about words. This is something we have been discussing for a while, but not as loudly as we wanted. So, we now are digging deeper and sharing this important conversation with you today.
Tune in today to hear how words can create our reality, rather than reality creating our chosen words. We also share how our language is used and how this has been a life-long process for us.
According to an article in Psychology Today, from 2012 researchers have found that you need to replace every negative thought with at least 5 positive thoughts to counteract the effect on the brain.
The good news is that our thought patterns are habits, and habits can be changed.
We can rewire our brains, and our entire existence by changing the language we use to talk to ourselves and the people around us.
We can acknowledge the negative thoughts by saying no thank you and releasing.
We can also acknowledge the critical thoughts and use a mantra to help refocus on positive thoughts.
Language also impacts culture, both on a micro and macro level which we get into today.
How do you speak to your family?
How do you interact with your friends?
Once we key ourselves in to listening for the repetition of certain words, phrases, or ways of speaking about ourselves and the world it becomes much easier, but it is an active process not passive.
MENTIONED IN THE SHOW
"A broken bone can heal, but the wound a word opens can fester forever."
Jessamyn West
"If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative. In our thoughts and words, we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths. Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts. We can always replace negative with positive."
Betty Eadie
“By holding a positive and optimistic [word] in your mind, you stimulate frontal lobe activity. This area includes specific language centers that connect directly to the motor cortex responsible for moving you into action. And as our research has shown, the longer you concentrate on positive words, the more you begin to affect other areas of the brain.”
Newburg, Waldman
GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK
Start listening to your inner monologue more closely for negative framing and words. Start also listening to how you talk to other people about yourself. Are you repeatedly critical? Are you making yourself smaller?
Keep a notebook handy where you can write down the negative and limiting thoughts.
Pick one word or phrase from the list that you made and focus in on that specifically.
Think about words like can’t, only, just, and always.
You may find that you are noticing other people’s negativity now too. Probably not the best time to point it out.
Once you have that word use the tools we talked about today, or any of the suggestions in the further reading to work towards removing it from your lexicon.

EPISODE 163: How to find a therapist
When searching for a therapist, it’s essential to consider your specific requirements, such as expertise in women's health. Start by identifying what type of therapy might be most beneficial for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy are among the many approaches available. Utilize online directories and databases such as Psychology Today or TherapyTribe to filter therapists based on your preferences, including their specialization in women's health issues.
Another critical step in finding a therapist is to seek recommendations from trusted sources. Friends, family members, or healthcare providers can offer valuable referrals. Additionally, many communities have local mental health organizations or women's health clinics that provide resources and referrals. When you contact potential therapists, inquire about their experience with issues related to women's health (if appropriate), such as postpartum depression, menopause, or trauma recovery. This way the therapist has the relevant expertise to understand and address your unique concerns effectively.
Lastly, it is important to consider logistical factors when selecting a therapist. Check their availability, location, and whether they offer virtual sessions, which can be particularly convenient for busy women balancing multiple responsibilities. Verify if they accept your insurance or if they have a sliding scale fee structure to accommodate different financial situations. Remember, finding the right therapist might take time, but prioritizing your mental health and well-being is worth the effort. By following these steps, you can find a qualified therapist who specializes in women's health and supports you on your journey to improved mental wellness.

EPISODE 161: How to be creative
Let's redefine creativity beyond the traditional boundaries of art and craft. On this episode of We Go Boldly we push ourselves to figure out how we can be creative and figure out what that really means.
Creativity is the essence of problem-solving and innovation that permeates every facet of our lives. It's not just about painting or playing music; it's about approaching challenges with fresh perspectives and thinking outside the box. To cultivate a creative mindset, it's crucial to embrace a growth mindset. This means believing in your ability to learn and grow, rather than being limited by fixed ideas of talent. Creativity is a skill that can be honed through practice and perseverance. Remember, it's not about innate talent but about dedication and hard work.
How does creativity fit into your life?
Creativity thrives in moments of stillness and openness. Finding inspiration is key to nurturing creativity. Whether it's through daily journaling, observing the world around you, or changing your perspective, there are endless sources of creativity waiting to be explored. Embrace boredom, travel to new places, and appreciate mistakes as opportunities for growth. Overcoming creative blocks requires identifying and addressing common barriers such as fear of failure, perfectionism, and self-censorship. By practicing mindfulness and reframing negative thoughts, you can break free from limiting beliefs and unleash your full creative potential.
Celebrate every step of your creative journey, no matter how small. Reflect on your progress, express gratitude for your growth, and continue to push the boundaries of your creativity. Embrace the challenges, embrace the vulnerabilities, and embrace the joy that comes from expressing your authentic self through creativity. Join us this week as we brainstorm how we can all find our creativity together!
