the Weight of a Word | Life & Music 10

Social-media anxiety is something that I’ve struggled with quite a bit. Long before that though, plain old fashion social-anxiety was also an issue. I’d leave a conversation with someone consumed by worry and regret - feeling terrible as I replayed an interaction over and over, which they probably didn’t think twice about. This seemed increasingly ridiculous when I became very sick. Suddenly energy was a precious, limited resource and conserving it was essential. So gradually I learned how not to hold to those negative feelings quite so much. Recently I encountered a subtle change in vocabulary that helped a lot to solidify this change. So I made a video where I muse on this subject, and play a little music too. Hope you like it :)

Roy, I can tell you from personal experience, that finding one's best self will take a lifetime. It doesn't happen overnight. Having a positive attitude makes all the difference in the world and is half the battle. Keep on keeping on. ; )

Thanks you, Roy, for sharing your positive mind-shift - helpful to many of us, no matter what our circumstances or predicaments. I know just what you're talking about, and appreciate your expressing it for the rest of us. - especially substituting "could" for "should". It is beautifu, the way you express yourself so well and clearly and thinkingly - and helpfully - Louisa

Oh my goodness, YES! I think about this stuff a lot. Language is so impactful and being aware of its nuances can really make a difference.
