One word changed my entire experience of a two-hour dental procedure.
I went to the dentist thinking I was having an appointment. But halfway through, I overheard the dental assistant describe what was happening as "surgery."
Suddenly, I felt differently about the whole thing.
Nothing about the procedure had changed. Same dentist. Same chair. Same two hours. But one word gave the experience an entirely different meaning.
In today's episode of Encore Living, I share what this unexpected moment taught me about the power of language and how the words we choose can shape the way we experience our lives.
Because sometimes we're not just describing what's happening. We're making it bigger.
Here's something to consider today: Are the words you're using simply describing your experience, or are they intensifying it?
