It’s not a secret and both scientists and spiritual masters agree: positive language can change your life, because it can literally change your brain. It’s been proven that you can make your day better by using positive words, because you will feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Whenever I host a workshop or moms group, I always use kinesiology to demonstrate how hearing, writing, speaking – and even thinking – positive words can strengthen your muscles. Kinesiology “is the study of human and nonhuman animal-body movements, performance, and function by applying the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience.“

Positive words can also promote cognitive function and strengthen areas of the brain’s frontal lobes, so they can help you with planning, controlling and executing behavior (kind of a big deal, right?).

I decided to make a list of positive words with each letter of the alphabet so you can start incorporating them on purpose into your everyday talk. It’s kind of like when you were in elementary school and you were given a list of words so you could make up sentences, only with better results!
