Words Are Spells: How Your Mental Health Is Hijacked by Casual Language

Speak kindly: Your Nervous System is Listening

📉 The “I’m Fine” Epidemic

Let’s face it. Most of us walk around speaking like tired Wi-Fi signals: low-frequency, unstable, and only halfway connected.

Someone asks, “How are you?” and you auto-reply, “I’m fine.”

Fine.

Not good.

Not terrible.

Just... bland beige nothingness.

If feelings were colors, “fine” would be the grueling gray of recycled office carpet. But here’s the problem: your nervous system doesn’t know you’re lying. According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, every time you use minimizing or ambiguous words, your brain files that as fact. You become what you repeat.

🎭 Words That Wear Bad Costumes

Think of your daily vocabulary like a cast of characters. Some words show up overdressed and dramatic, like “always,” “never,” or “literally dying.” Others sneak in with fake IDs pretending to be helpful when they’re really passive-aggressive little gremlins. (Looking at you, “whatever,” “should,” and “just saying.”)

Unstable Language = Emotional Inflammation

Your words can spike your cortisol levels faster than your boss’s 8 a.m. Slack messages.

“Every thought you think produces a biochemical reaction in your brain.”

Dr. Joe Dispenza

And those thoughts? They’re just full-sentence words doing backflips in your unconscious.

🧱 Bricks vs. Balloons

Words are either bricks or balloons.

Bricks ground you. They create mental stability. They build resilient walls.

Balloons are floaty. Directionless. They may Look cute with pretty colors, but blow away with the slightest wind.

Let’s compare:

Balloon Language             Brick Language

"I’ll try..."                         "I will..."

"This is hard."                   "This is a challenge, but I'm learning."

"I always mess up."            "Sometimes I stumble, and I recover."

"I’m not good at that."          "I haven’t mastered it yet."

Your unconscious mind doesn’t do nuance. It takes your word soup and serves it back as your life.

🪞 Dirty Mirror Syndrome

If you constantly use language like,

“I’m broken,” “I’m stuck,” or “I’ll never…”

...then your inner world is trying to polish itself using a dirty mirror.

That mirror is your vocabulary. And every time you say something self-deprecating, you’re fogging it up even more. Eventually, you stop trusting what you see. That’s when mental health sinks, not because you’re weak, but because you’re unconsciously narrating a horror film when your life is actually an indie coming-of-age drama.

“The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body.” Dr. Bruce Lipton

Mental Health Thermostat Your Emotional Temperature

“This is impossible.”      🔥 Hot Stress

“I’m overwhelmed.”      🔥🔥 Rising

“I’m doing my best.”     🌤 Grounded

“I’m figuring it out.”      🌈 Calm + Capable

“I’m resilient.”               💪 Empowered

⚠️ Leaking Emotional Plumbing

Every “harmless” phrase like:

“ I can’t do that”

“I’m such an idiot.”

"It's too hard."

“I knew I’d mess this up.”

“I don’t care.”

...is a drip in your mental health plumbing.

Individually these thoughts are no big deal. But left unchecked, you create a pattern of similar thoughts, then you find you’ve got a basement full of black mold, and suddenly you're wondering why you're so tired all the time. (Spoiler: self-talk mildew is real.)

💡 The Real Power of Conscious Language

You’re not supposed to lie to yourself with fake positivity (“Everything is amazing!” while crying in the Trader Joe’s parking lot). But your words should hold space for where you’re going, not just where you are.

“You don't get what you want, you get what you are. What you speak about yourself becomes your identity.” Paraphrased from Dr. Joe Dispenza

🛠 Tools That Help You Clean Up Your Word Play

White Magic Bag doesn’t hand you a mantra and call it a day. We go deeper, into the energetic, neurological, and unconscious layers that shape your internal script.

🧬 Human Design Blueprint

Understand your default energetic wiring and how you naturally process experience. If you're a Projector using Generator language (or vice versa), you're linguistically cross-wired.

Words = energy direction.

Human Design shows you how to use language in alignment with how your energy flows.

🌀 Rife Frequency Sessions

Words carry vibration. So do frequencies.

What if your healing isn’t just about “talking better”, but resonating higher?

We use frequency therapy to:

Clear emotional static

Support clarity in your nervous system

Help you feel the frequency of more empowered language

Think of it as defragmenting the hard drive of your internal dialogue.

🧠 NLP Mindful Dialogue (Hypnosis)

This is where the rewiring begins.

We don’t just change surface chatter; we speak directly to the unconscious patterns that installed the old script.

Release inner critic programming

Anchor new word choices into your body

Learn how to use language as a healing tool, not a weapon

As Dr. Andrew Huberman says, “You can’t control every thought, but you can control your relationship too them. Language is how we mediate that relationship.”

Before and After: Emotional Script Detox

Inner Monologue Before                 Rewired Script After

“I always mess up relationships.”     “I’m learning to love more clearly.”

“I can’t trust myself.”                       “I’m growing my inner authority.”

“I’m not enough.”                            “I am whole and evolving.”

🙋‍♀️ Real Talk: This Isn’t Just Semantics

This isn’t about being “politically correct” with your feelings.

It’s about being neurologically accurate with your self-talk.

Your unconscious mind is recording everything. It doesn’t distinguish between sarcasm, memes, or your favorite sad-girl playlist lyrics. It takes everything literally and files it as “what we believe now.” 

That’s why language matters.

Your brain believes every word you say, so use that power wisely. That’s why emerging adults, especially, need to curate their vocabulary like it’s their Spotify Wrapped.

Your healing doesn’t have to sound like a TED Talk. It can sound like you, but clearer, braver, more aligned.
