In this week’s Empower Mindfulness Broadcast, professional coach Theo Morrison explores a subtle but powerful shift in language that can dramatically change how we experience stress.
When we use the active voice — “I failed,” “They did this to me,” “I am overwhelmed” — we place ourselves at the center of the narrative. In difficult moments, this can intensify the story our brain is telling and trigger a high-arousal amygdala response, narrowing perspective and heightening reactivity.
Theo introduces the practice of linguistic distancing through the passive voice. Instead of “I failed,” we might say, “Mistakes were made.” Instead of “I am overwhelmed,” we can notice, “Overwhelm is present.” Or simply, “This happened.”
These small shifts create psychological spaciousness. They soften identification, calm the nervous system, and open the door to wiser, more regulated responses.
Join Theo as he guides you through this simple mindfulness tool to create more space, steadiness, and choice — especially in challenging moments.
