Becoming aware of our language is an
important part of learning to implement Choice Theory in our lives. We are
immersed in a world where people use blaming and threatening language to get what
they want. We often unconsciously
use language that comes from external control.
Some of the words we use out of habit
include the following.
Made
me
"She made me angry"
"It makes me..."
Katy Perry's song "The One That Got
Away" has a chorus that says
And in another life, I would
make you stay,
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
In essence we cannot make someone do something that they don't want
to do
Have to
"Firstly you have to
..." "He has to be..."
Sarah Mclachlan in her song
“Do What You Have To Do” says
I know I
can't be with you,
I do what I have to do
We are surrounded by external control
language. Bringing to a conscious level what we are saying
is the first step eliminating these words from our vocabulary.
