4: YOU 2.0 Build Yourself Better.

Public·1 member

Take A Bite Tuesday for Chapter 9: Labelling the Point.


Take a bite...

Make a list of every word you use on a consistent basis to describe when you're feeling negative emotions. Then make a list of all the words you use to describe, on a consistent basis, words for when you're in a positive mode. Go on, do it now before you read any further. Two things should be apparent. One, we have a great many more negative emotion words than positive ones. And two, our negative words are much more strongly expressive than our positive ones. So now, take the negative words and look for weaker alternatives. Instead of "enraged" you could choose to say "annoyed" for example. Now, take all your positive words and strengthen them up. Instead of "Fine" you could say "I'm fantastic thank you!" Trust me, after a while, you will feel your mood generally improve.

Negative Words/Phrases I Still Use


Fed up, pissed off, f*^&^*d off, angry, mad, tired, lots to do


Positive Words/Phrases I Use


Great, doing good, busy in a good way, not bad thanks


Improvements to Make


Clearly I need to improve in this area!!


For my negative phrases I need to downgrade all of them. So I am annoyed, peeved, busy in a good way/making progress (for lots to do).


I need to amp my positive phrases, doing great, making progress, being creative, F.A.B. and so on
