The power of words is underestimated and little understood in the general populous, I think. Newspapers have been subliminally bombarding us for years with opinions we thought were our own and language that we subsequently adopted.
Flipping the script or flipping the narrative is something I'm a big fan of. Words have meaning and we need to ensure that meaning is purposefully constructive, kind and caring. If we're not purposeful about it, we may as well just read the Daily Mail......
Love this, Dr. Nia. I couldn't agree more. That's why I love Substack so much. It seems to draw the best Writers & Readers who care about the words they choose, and how they express their emotions. I only wish I had found Substack sooner. :-)
