Read and Pronounce

Pay attention to what comes out of your mouth. The language you use impacts how you experience your world, and how others experience you. Inevitably, things get “lost in translation”.

If you’re familiar with cognitive distortion or “cognitive bias,“ these psychology terms teach us that there are subtle ways that our mind can convince us of something that isn’t really true. These inaccurate thoughts are usually used to reinforce negative thinking or emotions, thus holding us back.
