How Words can Affect Human Mind?
“Words are free. It’s how you use them that may cost you.” -Kushand Wizdom
We have thought. Moreover, we can think of anything. Thoughts come first, while language is an expression. The human brain operates at a deeply unconscious level, the most powerful creature in the universe. It is a complex structure that supports millions of thoughts, reasoning, language, behavior, and various workloads. When people talk to each other, and it becomes critical, either people explain themselves to generate a fight or flight response when our physical survival is not even remotely threatened. At the same time, language timeline is hard to manage. Language is the source of the timeline of the understanding level, and it makes affects the mind as well. According to Harvard studies, it uses positive words or images, for example, rewards, victory, security, negotiation (solid words and strong images in mind), focusing on the items in dispute. It is the primary trigger for the production of oxytocin, the neurochemical that helps trigger feelings such as well-being, affinity, and security. It is a change management plan that might be more effective if we are careful to prime our communications with positive images, words with emotions.
“Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” -Rumi
In their 2012 book, “Words Can Change Your Brain,” authors Dr. Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman state that “a single word has the power to change the appearance of genes that regulate physical and emotional stress.” People may choose words very carefully in performance reviews, recognizing that certain choose words will trigger a mode function such as fight or flight. Moreover, shut down the higher cognitive functions in the brain when you are getting upset, use negative words rather than positive, vice versa. Alternatively, when you use the word “problem,” your brain quickly started images of the problems rather than solutions.
“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Words and repeated thoughts often get more powerful by the repetitions, immerse into the subconscious mind, and affect the person’s performance, behaviors, and reactions. It works diligently to make these concepts and images a truth in the life of the form saying or believing about them. The brain continuously loves to repeat, so when you repeat positive words, you can imagine the positive sections from the universe. What you think it reviews to your brain for better or worse. The emotional response makes the brain inclined to respond in specific ways. So, when you feel that your mind thinks negative words continuously, take a short nap or rest. It will go away. Alternatively, you can practice self-talk with some beautiful words with your positive affirmation. Positive words encourage cognitive brain functions, while negative words activate mood responses. Word is influencing others and build relationships at work and personally. It creates to build personality. Moreover, the positive and negative vibe can help people come closer or not closer.
“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
The fixed mindset cannot do whatever I write in this article. So, the changing mind or growth mindset can notice the language uses by others and itself. Language influences thought and action. The words used to describe things to others. Moreover, it affects how they and think and act. The brain can adapt to its environment explains how we become with the sounds to our tongue. All the baby born with the ability to discriminate between the speech sounds of different languages, but the tune to the inputs they hear the most, corresponds to native phonemes are strengthened, while those corresponding to foreign sounds are pruned. For the bilinguals, this window of universal sound processing stays open longer because of their exposure to richer language environments. In other words, the inputs that our brans receive shape how we experience the worlds around us.
“Be careful what you say. You can say something hurtful in ten seconds, but ten years later, the wounds are still there.” -Joel Osteen
For example, neuroimaging has shown that bilingualism can enhance attention and sensitivity to sounds, even past infancy, and even if you begin to learn another language later in life. Bilingualism can also make your brain more efficient at managing the immense volume of information that comes streaming in on a second-to-second basis, helping you focus on what matters and ignore distracting inputs. The bilingual brain is always ready to process words from all known languages — multiplying the number of so-called “linguistic competitors.” Over time, bilinguals can become experts at controlling these competitors, to the point where the brain regions that monolinguals rely on to resolve within-language competition (e.g., the anterior cingulate cortex) show less activation for bilinguals unless they need to manage competition across languages.
“If you believe in the power of words, you can bring about physical changes in the universe.” H. Scott Momaday
In the end, I must say that Words do not limit our sense of ability to observe the world or to think about the world, but they focus our understanding, observation, and belief on specific aspects of the world. Thus, different languages focus the attention of their speakers on different aspects of the environment — either physical or cultural, but it affects.
