The Power of Words – Day #27

“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” – Yehuda Berg

Do you ever revisit a novel because you enjoyed the feeling of being transported to another world? Have you ever posted an inspirational quote to social media because it resonated with you or you felt the need to share that wisdom with others? Have you ever been triggered by a negative comment or cruel nickname from your childhood? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you know, first hand, the power or words.

For the final #WriteOnWednesday this May, Write On! creator and lead instructor, Janet Reynolds discussed the Power of Words. She shared her own experiences of the impact other people’s words have had on her wellbeing and how changing the narrative for yourself can be even more powerful. Check out the below video to learn ways that you too can use the power of words to help improve your wellbeing.
