Being a Spacetrepreneur is everything and nothing that you might imagine it to be. On the stretching side of things there is the multiple hats and duties that only me the founder can perform. Most days it is like having 2-3 full time jobs, and I sometimes have to use every brain hack that I have been writing to you all about for years. The entire triad with 9 patterns comes into play. One of those most powerful of tools, the most recent topic in the blog, is the use of transformational vocabulary (TV) for pattern interrupts.
When things don’t align with my expectations the pattern that comes up for me carries labels such as: angry, annoyed, aggravated, pissed-off and, of course, these words not only express how I feel, but also determine the intensity of how I feel them.
So employing TV, I have to come up with words or expressions that “soften” the experience, like a water softener does to hard water. Anger us a rather strong emotion and you can find over 150 synonyms and related words for it in the dictionary. Peeved is a nice soft word, but there aren’t many of them. Vex and irk will do in a pinch.
The point is, like I just did, take a pattern that you have that you find to be disempowering, look at the labels (emotional intensity) you normally assign to it, and then find 3 more empowering words to replace it.
