There's a bunch of "negative" phrases we say all the time without even realizing it. Tanya Rad shared she recently saw a TikTok which pointed out some common phrases we should flip.
There is science behind this: The brain is wired to filter out whatever you are not directly focused on. If we focus on the positive instead, we will filter out the negative.
Phrases to flip:
- (When something is funny) âIâm deadâŠIâm dyingâŠâ Instead say âIâm living for that!â
- (When youâre dreading something) âOh my God, kill meâ⊠Instead say âI will he so happy when I get through thisâŠand stronger for it.â
- (When you forget something) âIâm so stupid!â⊠Instead say âI will do betterâ
- Even saying âIâm sickâ⊠Instead say âIâm healingâ
