I don't know why people love to diet. Okay, actually, I do know why people go on diets but diets don't work, (and that is a whole other story).
Since people like the term, I thought that I could give new meaning to the word 'diet'. I think it is time to go on a Vocabulary Diet.
This diet will take some time to adjust, and we'll fumble at first, but with consistency and a conscious effort, I know we can succeed. Let's just start with one word to start, and with time, we'll add more to the list.
Let's start with the easy target and remove this phrase:
"I Can't"
Examples:
"I can't afford that. I can't get a raise. I can't meet people.
I can't find a girlfriend/boyfriend. I can't get a job. I can't fit
into my clothes. I can't.."
Replace with:
"How can I afford that? How can I get a raise? How can I meet
people? How can I find a girlfriend/boyfriend? How can I get a
job? How can I fit into my clothes? How can I...?"
As Yoda says, "Do or do not. There is no try."
