Summary
## Key takeaways - **Toxic Words Are Measurable Forces**: Toxic words are real words that can be measured; they're electromagnetic light forces that you can actually physically measure. [00:00], [00:23] - **Words Reinforce Thoughts in Brains**: Toxic words impact the ears and brain of the listener and go back into your own ears, reinforcing toxic thoughts in your head and the heads of others. [00:12], [00:45] - **Words Are Seeds from Thoughts**: Words are like seeds that are planted and become thoughts inside other people's brains and add to the thoughts inside your own brain; whatever you speak was first a thought with its attached emotions. [00:24], [00:57] - **Hurtful Words Activate Pain Centers**: Research shows that when you speak hurtful words or hear them spoken over yourself, the anterior central gyrus in your brain lights up, the same area that activates during physical pain. [00:56], [01:28] - **Words Cause Lasting Brain Changes**: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me is not true; words do definitely make physical lasting change inside of your brain. [01:18], [01:53] - **Rewire Negative Words with Switch Process**: Negative words spoken or sown into your life can be rewired when you use the switch on your brain process; your words are a way of examining your thought life and helping you identify and change toxicity.

hi I'm Dr Caroline Leaf toxic words toxic words are just so important if you think about it toxic words are real words can be measured they're electromagnetic light forces that you
can actually physically measure and not only are they impacting the ears and the brain of the listener but they are going back in your own ears so you will reinforce toxic toxic thoughts or you
would reinforce healthy thoughts inside your head and the head of other and the brains of other people so thoughts words are like seeds that are plant planted and become thoughts inside other
people's brains and add to the thoughts inside your own brains thought words also don't just come from a vacuum or just don't pop out of nowhere whatever you speaking was first a thought with
its attached emotions so thoughts will carry impact they have found from the research something very interesting that when you go through a physical pain certain areas in your brain light up
specifically the anterior Central gyus in your brain which is more or less over there now when you are speaking that same speaking hurtful words they found that the same area lights up in
your brain so that means that this area more or less over here will light up in your brain if you are hearing or having a hurtful word spoken over yourself or speaking negative about yourself and
that same area lights up if you actually experience physical pain so Sticks and Stones might may break my bones but words may never hurt me that's not true words do definitely make physical
lasting change inside of your brain but once again if you've spoken negative words or had negative words spoken and sewn into your life that you know good or this or that or whatever it can be rewired when you use the switch on your
brain process you can rewire those negative thoughts that have come from those negative words so words can be changed your words are a way of examining your thought life and helping
you to identify toxicity toxic words toxic thoughts and you can change them
