McKay examines the transformative power of words and how they forge our identities and destinies in today's episode. Exploring the significance of the labels we adopt and the profound effect words have on our perception and actions, our host invites listeners to reconsider their self-perceptions and strive for excellence.Expanding on this theme, McKay shares captivating stories, such as a rancher's encounter with a federal agent, an MIT classroom experiment, and Harper Lee's inspiring journey, each underscoring the influence of language on our lives. These anecdotes, coupled with scientific research, illustrate the dramatic shifts that positive affirmations and constructive self-talk can initiate, propelling us beyond mediocrity to embrace our exceptional selves. McKay's narrative here today is a compelling reminder that the words we choose to internalize and the labels we accept can either constrain us or catalyze our growth, highlighting the essential role of humility and faith throughout.Episode Highlights:The deep impact of labels and perceived authority on our sense of self and our actionsHow the labels we adopt can shape our identity and influence our life's trajectoryThe significant role a single word plays in altering our perceptions of others and ourselvesCelebrating the power of belief and encouragement in overcoming obstacles and achieving greatnessThe transformative effect of positive affirmations and self-talk on personal developmentHow words scientifically influence our mental and physical well-beingHow humility and faith in the words we internalize can lead to meaningful changes in our livesEncouraging a reevaluation of the words we hold onto as a path toward growth and escaping mediocrityQuotes:"Words do create worlds.""Sometimes labels are nothing more than a meaningless badge in the arena of life.""One word, one label can change our perception of ourselves.""Every day and in every walk of life, ordinary people do extraordinary things.""Words are a big deal. They can bring joy, answer prayers, give belief, and change perspectives.""What you believe, the words you lay hold on, matter.""Remember the power of words to change your life, to change your mind, to give you gifts meant for you.""Mediocrity is pretty darn comfortable.""The truth is we often place labels on ourselves, such as talented or unable, unworthy, fake, selfish, ugly.""You are extraordinary. Sometimes we and you need a reminder of just how precious you are in the eyes of your Maker."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Our words hold surprising power to shape our identity, our environment, and our friends. We get to decide whether to wield that power well or to wield it haphazardly. The words we choose, the tone we use, and even our body language can intentionally or inadvertently build up or tear down. So, how do we become people who are filled with words of grace, truth, and gratitude in a world that's so often cynical and despairing? Series overview: Remember the time that person said that thing to you and that was twelve years ago and you occasionally think about it and it still makes you feel bad? That's the power of words. What we say to one another, what we say about one another, and what we say to ourselves have the power to build, destroy, or overly inflate our egos.

What is green language? It is the language of the new earth consciousness! In this episode Jacquelyn explores the power of words with Dr. Claudia Gross, a soulful Business Humanist, Consultant and Trainer. Claudia facilitates transformation in organisations, teams and individuals in Germany, the Maghreb, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa as well as online. She is the founder of Life at Work, and of most relevance to our conversation, she is the initiator of speakGreen which offers an intentional, life-affirming language for the future. Jacquelyn and Claudia had an amazing chat about the power of language in the world we are co-creating and if you'd like to dive deeper into this topic, check out Claudia's book, “Words Create Worlds: Cultivating a Conscious, Life-Affirming Language” at https://964416811855.gumroad.com/l/WordsCreateWorlds_eBook.

Do words really matter that much? You bet they do! There are words that our culture has hijacked and redefined in ways that God never intended...and we think those words are worth fighting for. It is time to fight for words that matter!

Words create worlds… this week P. Natalie breaks down how we can create a better world by choosing wise words.

Words are powerful. They can inspire, encourage, and even heal. Words can make a difference in our day. We must use our words to praise and worship God. Words create an atmosphere that can pull us through the worst of times. Studies have found that optimistic people are healthier than those that see the worst of every situation. Proverbs tells us a soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. What kind of world are our words creating?

Sermon Notes - January 2, 2022The Worlds We Create: Words Create Worlds - Megan Lemmons “Our words create worlds.” - Pastor Jo Saxton Genesis 1:1-9In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. Genesis 1:26-27Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” So God created humankind in his image,in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. As those who are created in the image of a creative God -- we ourselves are creative people. “Clearly, we are not equal partners with God in creation. God created and continues to create in a way that is totally different than anything we can do. God creates out of nothing. We take what God has already created, and we create something using already-existing forms and objects.” - Author Lynn Baab James 3:2-6Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. Proverbs 11:9 “Evil words destroy one's friends; wise discernment rescues the godly.” Proverbs 15: 1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but hard words stir up anger.” Proverbs 15:4“Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” Proverbs 25:18“Telling lies about others is as harmful as hitting them with an ax, wounding them with a sword, or shooting them with a sharp arrow.” Proverbs 18:4“A person's words can be life-giving water; words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook.” John 1:1-5, 14“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, What kind of world are we creating? How has God's word impacted my own life? How have my own words brought destruction? How can I begin to use my words to partner with God in his work of restoration?

Words create worlds. What kind of world are you creating? I asked my teacher and friend @rtgreenidge to talk me through what I've been exploring and dismantling in my work and my life. Perfectionism. Overworking. Yt culture + wellness. The things we talk about all the time. I secretly hoped she would put my breakdown into context for you. But true to Rebecca's nature - she only had more questions for me. Rebecca is what most people would call an anti-racism coach. But she's more than that, and as you'll hear in this week's episode, she's committed to creating a new world together. She's exploring the words to describe what she's for and the transformation she facilitates. Rebecca is slow medicine. She works on you over time. You can't gulp her teachings. You have to be willing to pull up a chair and hang out for a while. If you are willing to grow and change and create a new world together, pull up a chair. There's room for you here. From Rebecca: Greetings of big love. I'm Rebecca Greenidge. I bring forward with me my ancestors who are the uprooted people of Polish, German, Irish, and British heritage. I also bring forward with me my partner, Jomo D.M. Greenidge, who is my best and most lasting teacher and who transitioned to ancestor in December 2020. I currently reside on the homelands of the Cowlitz people - colonized as Portland, Oregon. My journey has led me to understand that I must heal the wounds that have enabled me to participate in systems of oppression and co-create the environment and conditions which allow those around me to heal themselves. As we heal, we loosen ourselves from dominance and participate in framing a world where everyone belongs.

We obliterate obstacles and unlock hidden pathways to overcome and succeed where others have not stagnation feels like death, and we are unwilling to compromise our integrity and settle for being averaged in any way. We are the backbone of any successful business and those who overlook our potential are doomed to a slow demise. We do work that truly matters aligns with our purpose and in turn, we make our lasting mark on the world. We are the dreamers, doers, legends and visionaries who are called to make our most meaningful contribution and love what we do.  Lindsay 00:43Welcome to the career design podcast today I am super excited to introduce you to my guest, which is Joanie Dhillon and her partner Scott are the leaders of NLP freedom who provide NLP trainings from the practitioner level to those who actually want to be certified to teach this to others. And they do a really amazing strategy and modality around setting the trauma around what you've done in the past to really create the life that you've always imagined. Does that sound accurate? Joanie? Joanie  01:12It does it does. Lindsay, thank you. That was incredible. Yes, absolutely. And I think it would behoove your audience for me to explain what the heck and LP is. Before I do, can I just say it's such a pleasure to be on your show? It's just an honor. So thank you for having me here. Lindsay  01:31I am so excited. I've gotten I've known Johnny since 2018. So we've been around each other for a long time. So I'm so excited to get you on here and to share your genius. Joanie  01:41Thank you so much. So yes, Lindsay you're absolutely correct. We just got and I teach, my partner who's absolutely incredible and amazing. We teach an evolved form of NLP. So what is NLP? It stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, super jargon a stick word I get. And what that means is, it's the connection between the mind neuro language, linguistic, and the impact that both those have the mind and language on the body and behavior or programming. So I like to call it the user manual for your mind that you never got when you were young. I expect you to go out and create results, but nobody ever told you how. Right, so that's what we teach. Lindsay  02:25Oh, that is amazing. Well, language is so powerful, because that really defines our reality, what we speak that becomes our truth and what we can really put out into the world and Joanie  02:34You couldn't be more right. So here's how we break it down. Your current reality is a byproduct of the thoughts and the words that you are thinking or saying out loud. And those thoughts and words, create your focus Lindsy, your focus leads to your state, your internal state, how you're feeling, which impacts your behavior, whether you do or don't do, or how you do the thing that you're doing, right. And that leads to your results. So focus leads to behavior, which leads to results. And if you're not getting the result that you want in your life, let's just say you're not landing that dream job, or you're going interview after interview and you're just like, oh my god, I can't seem to get this job right or a job period. Well, that is a byproduct of your focus. And that impacts how you feel your state and your behavior their buy comes from that and therefore your result. So you're the words that you speak to yourself and out loud are creating that focus. And the reality is, is that most of us that our entire society has been programmed to focus on what we don't want. We know what we don't want we know that we fear not getting the job we know that we what we don't like in our current job or career, right, we know what we don't like in our boss we know. Like in our partners, we know that. And that ends up being the thoughts that we think and the words that we speak out loud, which determine our focus our behavior, and therefore the results that we get. Lindsay  04:01I love this because we definitely speak a lot of things and watching my clients go through this there's a lot of self-doubts there's a lot of negative self-talk around worthiness and aptitude. I'd love to hear a little bit about talking about shedding trauma because you talked about the shedding of trauma as being a way to freedom here. Joanie  04:20Yeah, absolutely. So Scott and I teach an evolved form of NLP right NLP was the incredible body of work that was created in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder who modeled other therapists and even hypnotherapists that were doing really well and excellent in their professions. But one of the things that NLP fails to do is address the past it never it doesn't do that. So what we sought out was we went to the trainer of a technique that we teach now that really resolves the past and I'll tell you why that's important. So that you can be free and clear of it. See most people walk around with I like to call 80 pound sound that sandbags on They're on their waist, right? Like they're trying to run this marathon. They're trying to get to the get the job dreamland, the dream job gets to that certain income that they want be free and clear about their debt, create the ideal relationships that they're like all of that stuff, yet they're walking around with all of this, this metaphorical, which really, it is weight, though, that impacts us every single day. And it's the unresolved negative emotions from their past, whether that be significant emotional events of the past or even trauma. And trauma is interpreted differently by each individual what may be traumatic to one may not be to another, when I was doing work with a little child, him putting his finger in a light socket was traumatic, right. So the traumas stored differently in each of us. And with that being unresolved, it is impacting and informing the now. And the unconscious mind does not know the difference we do we work with the unconscious mind, it doesn't know the difference between what you are feeling in the now the past, or the future. So when people what happens is we are getting associated. So let me give you an example and see that maybe your audience can resonate with, let's say somebody's going in for a job interview, okay. And in that job, like as they're excited about the job interview, they're excited about the job. And the thing that's going on in their mind, however, we call this an internal representation, is the last time they were fired from their job like they just got fired from their job. Could this resonate at all? Lindsay  06:26Yes, that sounds so much like that. Maybe they're feeling like they're being pushed out or something is happening exactly Joanie  06:32That that could be a two and see, that event itself was a neutral event, the event itself was neutral, yet the meaning that we gave that event, which is not a conscious-minded thing to do, it happens at the unconscious level is stored, and therefore it's informing the now. So if you gave that event of being pushed out, or one given being pushed out, forced out, fired, whatever the thing was, right, even furloughed, and they were left in a negative situation that they interpreted as being negative, like oh, my gosh, didn't have money, whatever that thing was, this past year has just been crazy for a lot of people, right? Well, that meaning is impacting and informing the now. So when they go into another interview, whether it be in person or virtual these days, in their mind, they're making images of right, so there's an internal representation, for example of that force being forced out, and what they felt in that moment, and the internal self-dialogue that was going on, oh, no, it's gonna happen again, for example. And that impacts behavior, and therefore results, whether you land the job or you don't, Lindsay  07:38Oh, my gosh, I love it. Joanie  07:41So we don't resolve our past, Lindsay, we're continuing to recreate the same pattern over and over again, through different people and situations and circumstances, we'll continue to do this our entire life. So Scott, and I have just dedicated, we're so passionate about freeing people from their past, so they can create an empowered future, to get what they want in life, whether it's a job or a partner, that ideal health, whatever that is, like it's about being able to not just conscious mindedly say what you want, because here's the thing that nobody really gets, when we say we want to earn a certain income, or land this job, or change careers, that is a conscious-minded thought, and perhaps even goal, right. And then there's that other stuff underneath all the layers of it, which is our unconscious mind, your conscious minds the goal-getter, it's the one that sets the goal, your unconscious minds, excuse me, your unconscious mind, I said that backward, your conscious mind the goal setter, it sets the goal, your unconscious minds the goal-getter, it gets the goal. Everything that we do, all of our beliefs, habits, behaviors, and programming 95% of all of that is unconsciously driven. Lindsay  08:5295% of that are We are not even aware of what we're doing. Joanie  08:5695% of everything we do is unconsciously driven. And that includes our behaviors, beliefs, behaviors, habits, and programming. Yes, I percent is just conscious mind. So when we conscious mind ourselves into our job, our dream job or career or whatever it is that we say we want, we're working with the wrong part of our mind. Lindsay  09:15I love this. Okay, so heal the unconscious and then the conscious you can create the reality that you're desiring. Joanie  09:22Heal that heal the past, let's say it that way heal that. Because what we can do is we can reframe that event that was actually a neutral event. We gave it meaning at the unconscious level. And some people say no, it was a horrible event. I get it. What if we could believe there were some positive learnings? What if there was some wisdom in that event, right? And that we can reframe our unconscious mind that may have turned on some coping mechanisms and coping behaviors because your unconscious minds job one of its main jobs, let's say it's probably the primary job is to keep your body alive to preserve you. And if it feels like there's something in You're in a threat that you're licensed threat, it develops coping mechanisms and behaviors and for some people and reject those if it doesn't apply. And I say that because I'm very conscious and careful of what I install in your audience's minds because NLP is that powerful. And words are that powerful. Okay, so reject this if it doesn't apply. But what can happen is that we can install things at a deeper level that, that don't serve us, right? Like we can get unconscious coping behaviors such as shut down or, you know, if you shut down when something feels difficult, or for example, you run away, you get right up to the end, right, like I always get right up to the end. And then that last interview, or something, well, that it could be well, I want to protect you your unconscious mind thinking, right? I mean, in its role than it does in its own way. And so it creates these unconscious behaviors. So yes, we get to be free and clear of our past and resolve that unresolved trauma, and the negative emotions of our past that are informing our future. Lindsay  11:01I love this so much. So I'm going to ask you for, one thing for my audience. They're on to sending their career intentionally designing their career, their life that they really truly want. What's the one thing you would say that using the NLP idea that they tap into to enhance their success? Joanie  11:20Ooh, so so so good, let's the number one thing is because your unconscious mind is your goal-getter. You've got to be 100%, clear, and certain on what you want any ambiguity, you will not get it. your unconscious mind needs, sir, it needs clarity. And it needs you to believe that and to focus on that certainty. So get clear on what specifically you want, and get an internal representation of that thing, right. When you think of that job that you want to do you have a picture. And when you do, you can play with what we call the submodalities of that the visuals of that the auditory the feelings that are inside, turn that up and make it feel so freakin good. That when you go into that job, or even for the job interview, you can do this for and if it didn't feel good, well guess what you get to make it feel good. You can turn up the colors, you can bring in powerful kinesthetics that something that feels really good. And hearing even some internal self-talk of you've got this or whatever those words are for you. So focus on what you want Lindsay get hyper clear on what specifically you want, your behavior will then ensue. And the result you will get. Lindsay  12:35Oh, I love this so much. And I'm going to tell you the first two modules of mine are market-building mindsets. How do you become marketable and the second one is career clarity? So those exactly around we have to have the right mindset and we have to be really clear about the vision that we're going after if we're clear. Oh, I love this. Jody, thank you so much. Now people want to connect with you. They want to learn more How can they do that? Joanie  12:57Thank you, Lindsay.
