For Teachers Only
Hey Teacher!
Swap 1 Word and Fix All Your Problems!
(Well . . .no. But it will help . . . )
Ban the word “anxious”.
Swap “excited” and watch your mental health get stronger! (And teach your kids!)
The brain doesn’t know the difference (hormonally) between the two, until you label it! Then it immediately believes it, and directs all its energies to make that ‘label’ a reality.
“I'm really ‘anxious’ about talking to this group…” (Fear of judgment… self-focused) — Comparison goals are emotionally debilitating! Now our mental energies focus on, and begin working to make Anxiety a reality!
The brain’s energies are directed toward creating “ANXIETY”. And it works!
vs
“I'm really ‘Excited’ to talk to this group…” (Excited to help them… others-focused) — Benevolent goals are emotionally empowering! The brain’s energies are now focused and directed toward creating “EXCITEMENT”.
And it works!
You can feel that emotional shift when we embrace a ‘Giving Heart’ vs a ‘Comparing Spirit’.
Your confidence and inner strength will grow naturally as a result!
The brain automatically fills whatever order our ‘label’ commands.
Now we can also stand against negativity because our goals are higher. Pure. Selfless. Stronger.
Pro athletes Always say “I'm Excited” and never “I'm Nervous” or “I'm Anxious”.
That's not by accident! They’ve been taught the excitement of helping teammates, so all can win. Teach your kids!
Don't believe it? Try it for yourself! Use “Quiz, Quiz, Trade”. (look it up) Then watch the “teacher’s” excitement shine through when the “student” gets it.
PRO TIP - Start with something Weird or Intriguing. Think animal trivia. They will love it.
I wish you well, my friend!
