The right words have the potential to decrease pain. The right words have the potential to reduce stress. It is easy to walk into sentences or phrases that have the potential to increase pain or increase stress. Extra stress and pain caused by certain topics are not always more value added to a situation.
We talk to ourselves, communicate to ourselves at times through the thoughts we have. If we give time and thought to certain paths those paths might increase worry, increase stress and pain where as if we limited our time thinking about those subjects gave less time and surface area to them we might decrease pain and decrease stress. Decreased stress and pain has the potential to improve life and health. Someone that is not stressed or in pain might have more potential for going for a walk than someone experiencing stomach pain, pain that has the potential to be heightened by stress.
Correct classification of thought paths or potential actions as stressors or not stressors might be less than ideal. If I know a certain path has a busy intersection that increases stress and potential risks I might try another path with potentially less traffic and less stress. Added up over days, weeks, months, and year that has the potential to remove allot of stress, stress that has the potential to compound pain and risk in non-ideal ways.
We inspire others with our thought processes and words we deliver. We have the ability to encourage and invigorate or the potential to volume up skepticism and reminders of the many non-ideals in the system. Creating positive change, change that removes the need for skepticism and painful thought paths like why isn’t that fair and what are we going to do about it (injustice thought about not all stress out) might require a bit of tact. Addressing the problem without giving full weight to the problem might not always deliver. Full weight given to a problem is not always sufficient stress reduced.
Inspiring words of more grace have the potential to be valuable in not fully appreciated ways. Many times we are required to reassure ourselves in times in life where there is less than ideal support. Will our words be reassuring, inspiring, and invigorating or will our thoughts compound stressors that complicate and potentially worsen a situation? People that encourage themselves more, that might have better ways of thinking about things potentially have the ability to have anger affect them less and likely have better results due to increased energy and reduced stress. Words that stuck with me a friend told me is “nobody bats a perfect game”. The comment is in the context of baseball. Even when we try we deliver less than ideally and that is not all homeruns out.
