Don’t say, “I can’t do it.” It is a sophisticated concept to understand the power that words have on our lives. But words affect our actions because words are, in fact, the very first form of action. Words are the first step towards a positive path or a negative one, which is why it’s important to adopt positive language.
Clean. When my mom used to make a big stink about keeping my room clean, I seldom listened. In hindsight, I realize it’s because I didn’t understand the benefits. Studies show that people who have cleaner homes have better health, better focus and better moods. Explain to your child that even though he thinks he can function just fine with a messy space, he’ll think even clearer, be happier and healthier if he keeps a clean space. Those are some great benefits.
Don’t eat too many sweets or snacks. We are what we eat, you can start by saying. Food has a way of affecting our health, our concentration, but also our moods. What we eat can change us from being fit to overweight, calm to hyper, or even calm to frustrated. What we eat can make us nicer or angrier.
