Episode 3568: Sabrina of Budding Optimist explores how the everyday phrases "if only" and "not now" can quietly sabotage our happiness, anchoring us in regret and procrastination. With personal stories and sharp self-reflection, she shows how shifting our language can lead to a deeper sense of contentment and purposeful action. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://buddingoptimist.com/power-of-words/ Quotes to ponder: "If only” also prevents us from enjoying the present. It has us looking constantly at the pot on the stove, wondering what other delicious bits might be in there, instead of savouring the food already on our plate." "The words 'not now' had created a fortress of excuses that had confined me to the status quo. And I was miserable inside it." "The simple act of taking notice of what you say, to others and to yourself, will build the foundation for change to happen." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
