Upon the discovery of the feedback loop that is the vocabulary, thoughts, and verbalisations, one can simply begin to find where they can adjust either of the three to get a better lifestyle. Thoughts are a product of context, and more specifically, the interpreted context as found through our repeated sayings of anything and everything. For this reason, self-defamation jokes hurt the inner-psyche and feed on the cycle to form more thoughts of the same kind which in turn adjusts the way we talk, and the vocabulary used to refer to ourselves. What was merely an innocent joke to begin with, turns into social anxiety and a supreme lack of self-confidence. Adjustments to either of the triad are, as most things, done so accidentally and with little clue as to what the fallout will be. A large component of life comes from these three, and so when many speak affirmations into the mirror and tote upon new mantras, it is an effort to adjust the thoughts and inner-vocabulary. It all begins with intentioned effort.

Meditate.
