Learn from the Japanese concept of "Kotodama": Negative suggestive language can invade your subconscious at any time

Unlike facial expressions or small movements people are accustomed to making, verbal tics have a significant impact because they can change a person's personality and behavior. You may think, "Isn't that an exaggeration?" but it is actually a fact.

There is a belief in Japan called "Kotodama" that refers to the idea that words themselves have a soul. For example, if you complain and vent every day saying "I feel bored every day," you will really begin to think that everything is becoming more and more boring, and eventually become a lifeless and uninteresting person.

This phenomenon is called the "Kotodama effect." According to social theory, if you implant such vivid negative suggestions into your subconscious, this force will seriously affect your survival instinct and even reduce your life energy.

The Law of Attraction emphasizes the power of positive subconscious language hints. In the concept of "The Law of Attraction," the same argument is also mentioned. If you want to make your wishes come true, positive and affirmative declarations are essential. By constantly repeating these declarations, positive thinking can penetrate into the subconscious and have an effect. For example, if your declaration is "I want to be a rich person," it means that you still have the idea of "poverty" deeply ingrained in your mind. Therefore, you can change the sentence to the present tense and change the declaration to "Money is always flowing towards me," and you will gradually see the effect.

Be aware of the use of negative words like "Anyway", "As expected", "Can't do anything", "Helpless", etc. If you use these complaints with a sense of giving up as verbal tics, you will gradually kill your own possibilities in the future. We must be careful of our verbal tics because negative suggestive language can invade your subconscious at any time.

You can try this good method: ask people around you to see if you have any negative verbal tics, and you may get unexpected answers.

"If I may say so, your verbal tic is that no matter what problem you encounter, you always say 'I will try my best to do it,' but you don't really want to 'try your best to do it.' You just superficially think that saying this line will gain the trust of others. I think your 'I will try my best to do it' sounds like an irresponsible "Get out of jail free" line."

If the people around you respond with sharp words that see through you, you really need to find a way to seal up your bad verbal tics.
