The Weight Your Words Carry In Daily Life

Every Sentence You Speak Creates Real Change: The words you choose each day do more than fill silence. Research shows that language directly affects your brain chemistry and the brains of people listening to you. When you use positive words, your brain releases dopamine and serotonin, chemicals that make you feel good and think more clearly.  Negative words trigger stress hormones like cortisol, which can make you feel anxious and cloud your judgment. This happens whether you are speaking to others or having conversations with yourself inside your mind.

Whether it's a novel from a friend or a textbook from a classmate, books have a way of blending into our personal collections.  The borrower often forgets where the book came from, especially after months pass by. Meanwhile, the lender assumes their book found a good home and hesitates to ask for it back.
