[00:00:39] Vesna: Welcome to the Peak Revival Podcast. My name is Vesna. Today we're gonna talk about a really hot topic, which is the power of language and how your words shape your life and your results. I did a workshop on this, in my community, and, you know, my team were telling me, oh, we can hear people in people's language that there's limitations there. And so this is a really important topic if you feel like. You know, you wanna look at other factors and rather than just the physical level things on like what I call the 3D level, the diet, the supplements, the labs, the routines, right?
[00:01:12] But there's something that's happening on an energetic level that's even more powerful,
[00:01:17] just as powerful, as changing your diet. you know, that seem may seem a bit farfetched, but really I've seen how much this plays out in people's results. So first of all, I wanna start you off with a quote from Bruce Lee who I think was something like very supernatural, let's be honest.
[00:01:32] He did amazing work and amazing things, and he really. Had control or influenced very much over his mind. And he said,
[00:01:41] “Don't speak negatively about yourself, not even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference.”
[00:01:47] He said, “Words are energy and cast spells. That's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life.What you're not changing, you're also not choosing.”
[00:02:00] So that's really powerful. Right. So. Words will sh well, your language, what you say, when I hear people talk to me, when I hear people talk in our, in our group calls, I can hear in their language what their beliefs are, right? So Our language points to our beliefs
[00:02:16] and our beliefs shape our outcomes
[00:02:18] a hundred percent of the time.
[00:02:19] So if you believe that something is not going to work for you, it most likely will not work for you. and, there's many reasons for this, not just simply on an energetic level, but it's the actions that we take. And so our words are our language. Or our beliefs can be working against us, right?
[00:02:36] They're working against your goals. And so when somebody asks me, will this work for me, X, Y, Z? Well, it depends on what you believe. Like some people believe that things need to be so complicated that a diet needs to be so restrictive in order to work. And if that's your belief, then you will find something restrictive and then it will work for you.
[00:02:54] Right? But it can work for you without the restriction, okay? By really looking at your beliefs. the quickest way that we can do that is through our language and the words that we use. And often it's very invisible to people because your beliefs are second nature to you. You don't often see them, right?
[00:03:12] They look real, and so therefore they become invisible and very hard to get awareness of, and very hard to conquer. So our words and the words that we use to describe ourselves or our life or what we want or our goals or what's possible for us becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. So Negative language keeps you trapped in your limitations.
[00:03:30] So if you say, I'm too old, it's never gonna happen for me anyway. I've always had issues sleeping. I've always had issues losing weight. All women in pre menopause gain weight, right? I'll never figure this out. I'm hopeless at this. I've always been hopeless at this. Like it will be very subtle, but it's something that you have thought for a long time and you don't even realize it's coming through in your language.
[00:03:54] again, it's pointing to what you believe. And in order to get the results and create the life that we want, we have to [00:04:00] look at these beliefs, right? We have to turn them on their head because
[00:04:03] A belief is just something that you've thought a lot. That's all it is. It's a thought. It's a repetitive thought that you've thought so many times that it looks real and it looks real about you, but it's really just a thought.
[00:04:13] And so I'm not saying that you have to turn your language around to speak all positive and flowery and fluffy and all good things about yourself, which you feel like, mm, I don't really believe that. But at least be aware of the language that you're using and not to say it anymore. There is real power in that, and I'm gonna show you on a scientific level how much power it has on our physical body.
[00:04:34] So your beliefs drive your commitment, your action, and your results. Remember how I said it's self fulfilling prophecy? That is because if you don't believe you're gonna achieve something, you won't fully commit. You won't do all the things that are required to get the results. 'cause there's a part of you that's already got one foot back out, right?
[00:04:50] You're not believing that it's gonna work for you. So I often take women through these exercise where I trigger this way of thinking to see like trigger their motivation. So ask 'em different questions. If this would happen and that would happen and you were, you know, if you were to win, $1 million at the end of losing this weight.
[00:05:05] You know, what would you do differently? Like if you, you would work much harder at it. You would take all the steps required, you would do all the meal preps, you would wake up in the morning, you would have time to meal prep, you would make time, right? And so that question was really to tap into motivation, but to really show you that if you believed you would get those results.
[00:05:23] You would take all the steps and
[00:05:26] When we don't truly believe,
[00:05:27] we actually don't take all the steps.
[00:05:29] We are not fully committed. We're not all the way in, and therefore we drop steps. We don't show up fully. We don't, I mean, I've done this myself, right? I've done this in my business. When I think, I don't think this is really gonna work.
[00:05:40] I put something out there and I think that's not gonna work, and I can see that I don't execute the plan. As I would for something else, right? Actually, don't send all the emails I drop, oh, I won't do that webinar or masterclass. Maybe I'll just, I'll short the timeline. Let's just close it up now, that's because I don't believe it's gonna work. And then I don't follow through on my [00:06:00] actions. So your beliefs, which are linked to your words, so your words will show you what you're believing, determine the actions you do or don't take, and then will determine your results and your outcome. So, as I said, when we are looking at making changes, so when it comes to physical health or mental emotional health, we are looking at.
[00:06:18] Things like I say on the 3D, not the five D. So what, when I say 3D, I mean on the physical level, right? If I take this supplement, if I eat this specific food, if I follow this protocol or the exact same strategy that somebody else followed, it should work for me too. And when it doesn't, you may think, well, what is wrong with me?
[00:06:35] Or what is wrong with this program? Right? And the thing is, many people just focus on the physical. The visible, the tangible, the things that we can measure, you know, like food and lab tests and exercise routines and supplements. But there are things happening on an energetic level that are invisible that we can't see, and this is where our language comes into it.
[00:06:57] I wanna give you some scientific examples. You would've heard of the placebo effect, right? So this is where in scientific studies, when the testing drugs or a surgery, they give, you know, one part of the group, they give them the surgery or the medication, and the other part, they give them a sugar pill or a sham surgery.
[00:07:13] And the placebo effect has been proven to be just as effective and sometimes more effective than the actual medication. Okay? And so since the 1960s, the placebo effect has been. You know, a bit of a pain in the, in the side of, scientific literature because there is something really powerful here with the suggestion that someone may be getting a medication, that they may be getting the results of a surgery, but actually they didn't have them.
[00:07:41] So it's the power of the mind to create those physical changes based on words. Based on language, based on what somebody told you. Right? So you can see. On the other side of this, there's also the no SIBO effect. And this is where Through the power of words,
[00:07:55] we can create physical changes
[00:07:57] in somebody that are harmful.
[00:07:59] they've looked at scientific [00:08:00] studies where they're told patients, You are, you are taking a chemotherapy solution. and so there was two groups again. One half was receiving a chemotherapy solution, the other half were having a saline. And the people that received saline were losing their hair and vomiting.
[00:08:15] Okay. And so they had no medication. And then they also did this to patients. They said, you're taking, a medication to stop you from vomiting. So people who were really sick with nausea, zero vomiting, and the control group, what they actually gave them was something to induce vomiting called iac. And the patients with nausea and vomiting actually stopped, vomiting, which is, it's just to show the power of. Suggest not suggestibility about our words and our beliefs, right? If we believe that we are taking medication that will help us, it'll create some positive physical changes.
[00:08:49] If we believe that we're taking something or doing something that is negative or harmful to us, it will create a harmful change in our body. And so when you think about when some people go to the doctor and just that white coat syndrome, and they get their blood pressure checked, their blood pressure goes up, right?
[00:09:04] And so there's something that's happening on an energetic level that's creating a physical. Measurable change in the body. And one more example, which I think is completely. Like it's, it's huge, right? So they did a placebo study. they were testing the effectiveness of a surgery for osteoarthritis on the knee.
[00:09:25] So an orthopedic surgeon in the us He was, you know, famed as being one of the best orthopedic surgeons that he could do the best surgery, the best knee surgery. And he was the best at doing this, right? And so he wanted to test and get data on how effective his procedures were. so we did a study and it was against placebo and against his surgery.
[00:09:42] And so what they did, they split the group and they. They took those in for surgery. So everyone thought no one knew whether they were getting the surgery or not. And the patients that didn't have the surgery, but they were wheeled into the operating theater, they were cut open and they, they saw this, they saw themselves [00:10:00] in the operating theater and When they woke up, there was an incision in their knee, right, but they didn't have the surgery and they found at the end when they looked at the data, actually the patients that did not receive the surgery had better outcomes and better recovery. They were up and running around faster and better than the people that actually had the surgery for their osteoarthritis.
[00:10:21] Again, the power of the mind when it believes something to create a physical, measurable change in the body. So I'll often say to my clients, you know, when I can hear them talking ne negatively. it's like punishing, right? And and I try to show them the power of their language.
[00:10:38] And I say to them, would you ever say about the person next to you, gosh, I wish they got sick, or, I wish they were in a car accident. I mean it, I don't even like to say it here on this podcast. But you wouldn't say it right? It feels wrong. It feels like there's energy behind that. It feels like casting a spell.
[00:10:55] And that is because, you know, on a deeper level that our words carry energy And so we, we wanna be careful with the words that we choose. We wanna be careful of how we speak to ourselves because most of the things that we think and that we. Feel about ourselves are untrue.
[00:11:12] They're just things that we've been thinking for a long time. Okay? It doesn't make them more true, it just means we've been stuck on the same thought for a long time.
