“You and I must realize that the English language is filled with words that, in addition to their literal meanings, convey distinct emotional intensity. For example, if you develop a habit of saying you 'hate' things - you 'hate' your hair; you 'hate' your job; you 'hate' having to do something - do you think this raises the intensity of your negative emotional states more than if you use a phrase like 'I prefer something else'?” IfsThinkingStatesUseMotivationalJobsHateLanguageRealizingExampleEmotionalHairHabitNegativeRaisesFilledPhrasesIntensityEnglish LanguageLiteralJobs You Hate Book:Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Source: Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial

“Each living creature is said to be alive and to be the same individual - as for example someone is said to be the same person from when he is a child until he comes to be an old man. And yet, if he's called the same, that's despite the fact that he's never made up from the same things, but is always being renewed, and losing what he had before, whether it's hair, or flesh, or bones, or blood, in fact the whole body.” IfsMenChildrenPersonsMadeSaidWholeFactsBodyIndividualAliveBloodExampleHairCreaturesLosingBonesFleshDespiteOld ManLiving Creatures Author:Plato

“I gestured my frustration. “I don’t know. She’s much better already. She wasn’t talking half an hour ago. Look at her now.” We all turned, finding Ceri sobbing quietly and drinking her tea in small reverent sips as the pixy girls hovered over her. Three were plating her long, fair hair and another was singing to her. Okay,” I said as we turned back. “Bad example.” KnowsLooksLongSaidGirlThreeHoursHalfTalkingExampleHairFindingsSingingFairsOkayDrinkingTeaFrustrationSobbing Author:Kim Harrison
