25 彡 The subtle power of transformational vocabulary

25 彡 The subtle power of transformational vocabulary

Words, they can create emotions, and they can create action. Most of our beliefs are formed by words, and they can be changed by words as well. Words not only describe an experience, but they also form an experience. Yet most of us are careless about the words we use. Transformation Vocabulary is a tool you can use to create better life experiences.
