🎧 PART 2 — PROCESS | The Wrong Words Podcast

Tie your shoes or choose your end? In Part 2 Oliver and Luon push deeper into whether a process is the visible series of actions we do — or the agreement that makes those actions real. They debate “process” vs. habit, unpack how memory and conditioning hijack progress, and trace the word back to its Latin roots (processus = going forward). Expect sharp examples (kids and steps, exit-feedback bias, “quits day” / divorce month) and a serious nudge: don’t throw away agreements at the first hard step.

🧠 In this episode we explore:

• When a repeated action becomes habit — and when a habit is just an action, not a process

• Agreement → actions → result: why the end (and the agreement you make) matters more than you think

• How memory, fear, and one negative moment can derail entire journeys

• Origins that point to forward motion: progress, advance, development — with pain and setbacks built in

📚 We unpack:

• Oxford/Merriam-Webster take vs. lived experience: “series of actions” or “going forward”?

• The artist paradox: is painting a process if the picture already exists in the mind?

• Real-life signals: when to adjust a series of actions, when to repair an agreement, and when to walk away

💥 Key moments include:

• The shoe-tying analogy: action vs. process vs. behavior

• The baby-on-the-steps story — how adult conditioning creates new fear

• The “one negative” bias and why people fixate on failure instead of forward motion

• Origins (Latin/processus, Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic) that insist process = movement, journey, development

🛠️ You’ll walk away with:

• A clearer way to test whether what you call a “process” actually has an agreement and actions that lead to an end

• Language to reframe stalled efforts: renegotiate the agreement or adjust the actions — don’t just quit

• A prompt to notice whether your process is taking you forward or simply keeping you stuck
