How words can change your brain

 Did you know that the words literally change your brain?

Words are powerful. So much that a single word can cause irreparable damage. On the other hand, words can heal wounds from decades before. What we speak can work both sides of the coin, you see, and so words should never be dished out haphazardly. We underestimate the power of words, really we do.

Honestly, it goes a little deeper than that.
Words can, over time, make a physical change as well. Words can change your brain, changing physical regions of the mind and widening pathways of information! Bet you didn’t know that, now did you?

So there are positive words and negative words, each with a monumental power to change your entire life. Whether you fail epically or succeed in the same manner is all up to which words you choose to say. Let’s talk about these opposite influences for a moment, shall we.

People don't know they have one of the greatest weapon to change their life by altering their brain. That most powerful weapon is "Words". Words Can Change Your Brain structure.

“A single word has the power to influence the expression of genes that regulate physical and emotional stress. ” So be careful of the type of words you use. You are unknowingly altering your life to that course."

THE POWER OF THE WORD "HOPE" USE IT WISELY AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER. DON'T DOUBT IT GIVE IT A TRY. IT WILL WORK BREAKTHROUGH INTO TO YOUR LIFE.

Neuroscientists are investigating the science of hope. It turns out that a feeling of hopefulness changes your brain. The opposite is also true. Your brain pumps chemicals when experiencing the sensation of hope.

These chemicals can block pain and accelerate healing.
Hope, which involves belief and expectation, causes the brain to release neurochemicals called endorphins and enkephalins which actually mimic the effects of morphine.

The result is that the brain can overcome hurdles and move to a place of recovery. In scientific terms, hope and recovery are correlated, and may be causally connected.

I believe hope is as vital to the brain as the oxygen we breathe.

Times are difficult these days. A feeling of hopefulness can make a real difference!
What do I do for my brain? I feed my brain stories that paint a clear picture of hope.
Reading a story related to hope will surely rekindle your hope in reality. Never doubt the power of hope in words or stories.

THE POWER OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE WORDS. FOCUS MORE ON POSITIVE EVEN IN DIFFICULT TIMES. YOU WILL ATTRACT HEALINGS AND BLESSINGS TO YOUR LIFE. DON'T GIVE UP ACT ON YOUR WORDS. THAT MIRACLE WILL SURELY COME TO YOU UNEXPECTEDLY.

When we use words filled with positivity, like “love” and “peace”, we can alter how our brain functions by increasing cognitive reasoning and strengthening areas in our frontal lobes. Using positive words more often than negative ones can kick-start the motivational centers of the brain, propelling them into action.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, when we use negative words, we are preventing certain neuro-chemicals from being produced which contribute to stress management. Each and every one of us are initially hardwired to worry; it’s how our primal brain protects us from dangerous situations for survival.

So, when we allow negative words and concepts into our thoughts, we are increasing the activity in our brain’s fear center (the amygdala), and causing stress-producing hormones to flood our system. These hormones and neurotransmitters interrupt the logic and reasoning processes in the brain and inhibit normal functionality.

Remember:"Angry words send alarm messages through the brain, and they partially shut down the logic-and-reasoning centers located in the frontal lobes.” Please kindly manage your anger.

“By holding a positive and optimistic [word] in your mind, you stimulate frontal lobe activity. This area includes specific language centers that connect directly to the motor cortex responsible for moving you into action. And as the research has shown, the longer you concentrate on positive words, the more you begin to affect other areas of the brain.

Now that you have an idea how words can change your brain, let’s use our positive thinking to look at that big picture I spoke of earlier. Words not only cause transformations; they cause permanent changes which leave deep imprints on the brain’s structures -these imprints can widen the neural pathways.
Neural pathways are where our thoughts travel. If you want to understand what these pathways are, then picture highways, roads or dirt paths.

Since we know that neuroplasticity allows changes in the brain according to life experiences, neural pathways can absorb the same changes and form according to the imprint. So that leads back to repetition . Anything done over and over will surely have a lasting effect on the human mind.

Aristotle says,
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

I could say so much more, but I think you’ve got the picture. You must pay attention to what you say because your words determine everything you will ever experience. Yes, it depends on you! Choose your words carefully and create thought habits that will prove beneficial for your brain. After all, we are what we say we are.
