Welcome to the Peak Revival Podcast.
Speaker:My name is Vesna.
Speaker:Today we're gonna talk about a really hot topic, which is the
Speaker:power of language and how your words shape your life and your results.
Speaker:I did a workshop on this, in my community, and, you know, my team were telling
Speaker:me, oh, we can hear people in people's language that there's limitations there.
Speaker:And so this is a really important topic if you feel like.
Speaker:You know, you wanna look at other factors and rather than just the physical
Speaker:level things on like what I call the 3D level, the diet, the supplements,
Speaker:the labs, the routines, right?
Speaker:But
Speaker:There's something that's happening on an energetic level that's even more powerful,
Speaker:just as powerful, as changing your diet.
Speaker:you know, that seem may seem a bit farfetched, but really I've seen how
Speaker:much this plays out in people's results.
Speaker:So first of all, I wanna start you off with a quote from Bruce
Speaker:Lee who I think was something like very supernatural, let's be honest.
Speaker:He did amazing work and amazing things, and he really.
Speaker:Had control or influenced very much over his mind.
Speaker:And he said,
Speaker:"Don't speak negatively about yourself,
Speaker:not even as a joke.
Speaker:Your body doesn't know the difference."
Speaker:He said,
Speaker:"Words are energy and cast spells.
Speaker:That's why it's called spelling.
Speaker:Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life.
Speaker:What you're not changing, you're also not choosing."
Speaker:So that's really powerful.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Words will sh well, your language, what you say, when I hear people talk to
Speaker:me, when I hear people talk in our, in our group calls, I can hear in their
Speaker:language what their beliefs are, right?
Speaker:So Our language points to our beliefs
Speaker:and our beliefs shape our outcomes
Speaker:a hundred percent of the time.
Speaker:So if you believe that something is not going to work for you, it
Speaker:most likely will not work for you.
Speaker:and, there's many reasons for this, not just simply on an energetic level,
Speaker:but it's the actions that we take.
Speaker:And so our words are our language.
Speaker:Or our beliefs can be working against us, right?
Speaker:They're working against your goals.
Speaker:And so when somebody asks me, will this work for me, X, Y, Z?
Speaker:Well, it depends on what you believe.
Speaker:Like some people believe that things need to be so complicated that a diet needs
Speaker:to be so restrictive in order to work.
Speaker:And if that's your belief, then you will find something restrictive
Speaker:and then it will work for you.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:But it can work for you without the restriction, okay?
Speaker:By really looking at your beliefs.
Speaker:the quickest way that we can do that is through our language
Speaker:and the words that we use.
Speaker:And often it's very invisible to people because your beliefs
Speaker:are second nature to you.
Speaker:You don't often see them, right?
Speaker:They look real, and so therefore they become invisible and very hard to get
Speaker:awareness of, and very hard to conquer.
Speaker:So our words and the words that we use to describe ourselves or our life or what we
Speaker:want or our goals or what's possible for us becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Speaker:So Negative language keeps you trapped in your limitations.
Speaker:So if you say, I'm too old, it's never gonna happen for me anyway.
Speaker:I've always had issues sleeping.
Speaker:I've always had issues losing weight.
Speaker:All women in pre menopause gain weight, right?
Speaker:I'll never figure this out.
Speaker:I'm hopeless at this.
Speaker:I've always been hopeless at this.
Speaker:Like it will be very subtle, but it's something that you have thought for a
Speaker:long time and you don't even realize it's coming through in your language.
Speaker:again, it's pointing to what you believe.
Speaker:And in order to get the results and create the life that we want, we
Speaker:have to look at these beliefs, right?
Speaker:We have to turn them on their head because
Speaker:A belief is just something that you've thought a lot.
Speaker:That's all it is.
Speaker:It's a thought.
Speaker:It's a repetitive thought that you've thought so many times that it looks
Speaker:real and it looks real about you, but it's really just a thought.
Speaker:And so I'm not saying that you have to turn your language around to speak all
Speaker:positive and flowery and fluffy and all good things about yourself, which you feel
Speaker:like, mm, I don't really believe that.
Speaker:But at least be aware of the language that you're using and not to say it anymore.
Speaker:There is real power in that, and I'm gonna show you on a scientific level how
Speaker:much power it has on our physical body.
Speaker:So your beliefs drive your commitment, your action, and your results.
Speaker:Remember how I said it's self fulfilling prophecy?
Speaker:That is because if you don't believe you're gonna achieve
Speaker:something, you won't fully commit.
Speaker:You won't do all the things that are required to get the results.
Speaker:'cause there's a part of you that's already got one foot back out, right?
Speaker:You're not believing that it's gonna work for you.
Speaker:So I often take women through these exercise where I trigger
Speaker:this way of thinking to see like trigger their motivation.
Speaker:So ask 'em different questions.
Speaker:If this would happen and that would happen and you were, you know,
Speaker:if you were to win, $1 million at the end of losing this weight.
Speaker:You know, what would you do differently?
Speaker:Like if you, you would work much harder at it.
Speaker:You would take all the steps required, you would do all the meal
Speaker:preps, you would wake up in the morning, you would have time to meal
Speaker:prep, you would make time, right?
Speaker:And so that question was really to tap into motivation, but to really
Speaker:show you that if you believed you would get those results.
Speaker:You would take all the steps and
Speaker:When we don't truly believe,
Speaker:we actually don't take all the steps.
Speaker:We are not fully committed.
Speaker:We're not all the way in, and therefore we drop steps.
Speaker:We don't show up fully.
Speaker:We don't, I mean, I've done this myself, right?
Speaker:I've done this in my business.
Speaker:When I think, I don't think this is really gonna work.
Speaker:I put something out there and I think that's not gonna work, and I can
Speaker:see that I don't execute the plan.
Speaker:As I would for something else, right?
Speaker:Actually, don't send all the emails I drop, oh, I won't do
Speaker:that webinar or masterclass.
Speaker:Maybe I'll just, I'll short the timeline.
Speaker:Let's just close it up now, that's because I don't believe it's gonna work.
Speaker:And then I don't follow through on my actions.
Speaker:So your beliefs, which are linked to your words, so your words will show you what
Speaker:you're believing, determine the actions you do or don't take, and then will
Speaker:determine your results and your outcome.
Speaker:So, as I said, when we are looking at making changes, so when it
Speaker:comes to physical health or mental emotional health, we are looking at.
Speaker:Things like I say on the 3D, not the five D. So what, when I say 3D, I
Speaker:mean on the physical level, right?
Speaker:If I take this supplement, if I eat this specific food, if I follow this protocol
Speaker:or the exact same strategy that somebody else followed, it should work for me too.
Speaker:And when it doesn't, you may think, well, what is wrong with me?
Speaker:Or what is wrong with this program?
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And the thing is, many people just focus on the physical.
Speaker:The visible, the tangible, the things that we can measure, you
Speaker:know, like food and lab tests and exercise routines and supplements.
Speaker:But there are things happening on an energetic level that are invisible
Speaker:that we can't see, and this is where our language comes into it.
Speaker:I wanna give you some scientific examples.
Speaker:You would've heard of the placebo effect, right?
Speaker:So this is where in scientific studies, when the testing drugs or a surgery,
Speaker:they give, you know, one part of the group, they give them the surgery or
Speaker:the medication, and the other part, they give them a sugar pill or a sham surgery.
Speaker:And the placebo effect has been proven to be just as effective and sometimes more
Speaker:effective than the actual medication.
Speaker:Okay?
Speaker:And so since the 1960s, the placebo effect has been.
Speaker:You know, a bit of a pain in the, in the side of, scientific literature because
Speaker:there is something really powerful here with the suggestion that someone may
Speaker:be getting a medication, that they may be getting the results of a surgery,
Speaker:but actually they didn't have them.
Speaker:So it's the power of the mind to create those physical changes based on words.
Speaker:Based on language, based on what somebody told you.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So you can see.
Speaker:On the other side of this, there's also the no SIBO effect.
Speaker:And this is where Through the power of words,
Speaker:we can create physical changes
Speaker:in somebody that are harmful.
Speaker:they've looked at scientific studies where they're told patients, You are,
Speaker:you are taking a chemotherapy solution.
Speaker:and so there was two groups again.
Speaker:One half was receiving a chemotherapy solution, the
Speaker:other half were having a saline.
Speaker:And the people that received saline were losing their hair and vomiting.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And so they had no medication.
Speaker:And then they also did this to patients.
Speaker:They said, you're taking, a medication to stop you from vomiting.
Speaker:So people who were really sick with nausea, zero vomiting, and the control
Speaker:group, what they actually gave them was something to induce vomiting called iac.
Speaker:And the patients with nausea and vomiting actually stopped, vomiting, which
Speaker:is, it's just to show the power of.
Speaker:Suggest not suggestibility about our words and our beliefs, right?
Speaker:If we believe that we are taking medication that will help us, it'll
Speaker:create some positive physical changes.
Speaker:If we believe that we're taking something or doing something that is
Speaker:negative or harmful to us, it will create a harmful change in our body.
Speaker:And so when you think about when some people go to the doctor and just
Speaker:that white coat syndrome, and they get their blood pressure checked,
Speaker:their blood pressure goes up, right?
Speaker:And so there's something that's happening on an energetic level
Speaker:that's creating a physical.
Speaker:Measurable change in the body.
Speaker:And one more example, which I think is completely.
Speaker:Like it's, it's huge, right?
Speaker:So they did a placebo study.
Speaker:they were testing the effectiveness of a surgery for osteoarthritis on the knee.
Speaker:So an orthopedic surgeon in the us He was, you know, famed as being one of the
Speaker:best orthopedic surgeons that he could do the best surgery, the best knee surgery.
Speaker:And he was the best at doing this, right?
Speaker:And so he wanted to test and get data on how effective his procedures were.
Speaker:so we did a study and it was against placebo and against his surgery.
Speaker:And so what they did, they split the group and they.
Speaker:They took those in for surgery.
Speaker:So everyone thought no one knew whether they were getting the surgery or not.
Speaker:And the patients that didn't have the surgery, but they were wheeled into the
Speaker:operating theater, they were cut open and they, they saw this, they saw themselves
Speaker:in the operating theater and When they woke up, there was an incision in their
Speaker:knee, right, but they didn't have the surgery and they found at the end when
Speaker:they looked at the data, actually the patients that did not receive the surgery
Speaker:had better outcomes and better recovery.
Speaker:They were up and running around faster and better than the people that actually
Speaker:had the surgery for their osteoarthritis.
Speaker:Again, the power of the mind when it believes something to create a
Speaker:physical, measurable change in the body.
Speaker:So I'll often say to my clients, you know, when I can hear
Speaker:them talking ne negatively.
Speaker:it's like punishing, right?
Speaker:And and I try to show them the power of their language.
Speaker:And I say to them, would you ever say about the person next to you,
Speaker:gosh, I wish they got sick, or, I wish they were in a car accident.
Speaker:I mean it, I don't even like to say it here on this podcast.
Speaker:But you wouldn't say it right?
Speaker:It feels wrong.
Speaker:It feels like there's energy behind that.
Speaker:It feels like casting a spell.
Speaker:And that is because, you know, on a deeper level that our words carry
Speaker:energy And so we, we wanna be careful with the words that we choose.
Speaker:We wanna be careful of how we speak to ourselves because most of the
Speaker:things that we think and that we.
Speaker:Feel about ourselves are untrue.
Speaker:They're just things that we've been thinking for a long time.
Speaker:Okay?
Speaker:It doesn't make them more true, it just means we've been stuck on
Speaker:the same thought for a long time.
