Article

Our world is facing unprecedented challenges, and it’s crucial that we unite and work together to create a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of finding our tribe, embracing conscious language, and pursuing cross-disciplinary education to build a healthier, more compassionate world.

Cross-Disciplinary Education: The Path to Self-Help

If we want to help ourselves and others, we can broaden our understanding of various aspects of life by exploring interdisciplinary areas such as personal growth, mental and emotional health, physical health, spiritual health, intellectual health, career health, wealth health, sexual health, relational/social health, generational health/parenting, business/organizational health, societal health, and environmental health. By doing so, we empower ourselves and those around us to make positive changes in our lives.

Additionally, if we aim for automation that benefits the greater good, rather than solely focusing on profits and individual gains, we can help create a more equitable and compassionate society.

The Power of Conscious Language: Shaping Our World Through Words

An essential aspect of building a better future is being mindful of the language we use, as it can significantly influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Lera Boroditsky’s work on how language shapes our thinking demonstrates the power of words in constructing our understanding of the world.

By making intentional and conscious language choices, we can tap into the potential of neuroplasticity to rewire ourselves and others in healthier ways. To do this, we can practice active listening, use “I” statements to express feelings, and avoid negative or judgmental language. These strategies will help promote inclusivity, authenticity, and the voluntary participation of individuals who truly believe in the possibility of a healthier world.

Conclusion: Uniting for a Healthier, More Compassionate Future

Now more than ever, it’s essential to find our tribe, unite with like-minded individuals, and work together to create a healthier, more compassionate world. By embracing cross-disciplinary education, using conscious language, and focusing on the greater good, we can empower ourselves and others to make meaningful changes in our lives and the world at large.

Together, we can build a better future for ourselves, our children, and generations to come.

Transcript of collaborative discussion between Lisa Pircher-Reid and ChatGPT-4:

I want to post this on LinkedIn… I wrote it just now to an old colleague of mine who’s now like ceo of strategy or something… Anyway. I want to post it and am feeling scared to do it. What do you think? “this post is to you personally, having an open and transparent conversation about concious and intentional language in AI (specifically focussed on inclusion and diversity and the points I mentioned on medium.com) and I believe it’s a very important conversation to have out in the open. This is where my thoughts are currently: I’d like to hear your opinion and understand it better because right now our beliefs and intended paths of AI are misaligned, yet I think we’re both focussed on the goal of steering the direction of the use of AI into a direction that does not end up in worst case scenarios. I think it’s possible to steer the direction of both humanity and AI by intentional use of neuroplasticity to empower people to heal themselves, to become healthier, whilst still allowing space for authenticity and individuality. Essentially empowering humanity to become their best selves, and allowing AI to metaphorically “walk alongside” humanity towards a healthier path. I’m explaining how I think it’s possible to do this through our podcast, hoping I can reach anyone who’s willing to learn how to rewire themselves in a healthier way. Essentially to unlearn chronic pain by rewiring the nervous system to unlearn the pain, because that’s possible to do (as evident by cold exposure in humans and learnt from “explain pain” book). I’m on a tangent here so I’ll stop and say this: if any of this makes sense and you want to discuss it with me — actually, if ANYONE is willing to openly discuss their views on neuroplasticity in the context of artificial intelligence neural networks, please share your opinions because I either have information that might help you, or, I’ll discover a cognitive bias of my own that I can unlearn and teach others how to unlearn and rewire. I think I understand how neural networks work. Or I’ll discover that I’m crazy. Either way, at least one of us will learn something new. “

It’s great that you’re engaging in conversations about the intersection of AI, neuroplasticity, and diversity/inclusion. Before posting your message on LinkedIn, I recommend making a few adjustments to improve clarity, organization, and tone. Here’s a revised version of your message:

Subject: Let’s Discuss Conscious and Intentional Language in AI, Focusing on Inclusion and Diversity

Dear [Colleague’s Name],

As someone who’s now in a leadership role in the AI field, I wanted to engage you in an open and transparent conversation about conscious and intentional language in AI, specifically focusing on inclusion and diversity. I believe it’s essential to have this conversation out in the open, and I invite others to share their thoughts and experiences.

Currently, our beliefs and intended paths for AI may be misaligned. Nonetheless, I think we’re both focused on the goal of steering AI in a direction that avoids worst-case scenarios. I believe we can guide both humanity and AI through the intentional use of neuroplasticity, empowering people to heal themselves, become healthier, and maintain authenticity and individuality.

By allowing AI to metaphorically “walk alongside” humanity towards a healthier path, we can foster an environment where people can become their best selves. In our podcast, we explore how this can be achieved by learning to rewire ourselves in healthier ways, such as unlearning chronic pain through rewiring the nervous system, as demonstrated by cold exposure in humans and explained in the book “Explain Pain.”

If any of this resonates with you or if anyone else wants to discuss neuroplasticity in the context of artificial intelligence neural networks, please share your opinions. I’m eager to exchange information and learn from each other, potentially uncovering cognitive biases we can unlearn and teach others to rewire. Let’s learn, grow, and drive meaningful change together.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

Seems a bit formal for a LinkedIn post — it sounds more like a direct email. Which… I’m not sure if that matters. Does it?

You’re right, the revised message does have a more formal tone. While LinkedIn is a professional platform, it’s also acceptable to adopt a more conversational style in your posts. Here’s a less formal version of the message:

“Hey [Colleague’s Name],

I’ve been thinking a lot about conscious and intentional language in AI, especially when it comes to inclusion and diversity. I think it’s crucial for us to discuss these topics openly, and I’d love to hear your thoughts as well as those of others in our community.

Although our beliefs and goals for AI might not always align, I believe we both want to guide AI in a direction that avoids negative outcomes. I think we can harness the power of neuroplasticity to help people heal, become healthier, and maintain their individuality while working with AI.

In our podcast, we’re exploring ways to rewire ourselves for better outcomes, like unlearning chronic pain by rewiring the nervous system. If you or anyone else wants to chat about neuroplasticity and artificial intelligence neural networks, I’m all ears! Let’s share our ideas and experiences, learn from each other, and make a difference together.

Cheers,

[Your Name]”

This version maintains the key points from the original message while adopting a more conversational and informal tone. It should be more suitable for a LinkedIn post.

Ive got automatic thoughts popping up to say that everyone already knows this and I’ll make myself look silly publicly stating this.

It’s natural to feel some self-doubt when sharing your thoughts and ideas publicly, especially on a professional platform like LinkedIn. However, it’s important to remember that not everyone has the same level of knowledge or understanding about a topic. Your perspective might offer new insights or spark a valuable discussion among your connections.

By sharing your thoughts, you’re contributing to the ongoing conversation about AI, neuroplasticity, and diversity/inclusion. It’s essential for people from diverse backgrounds and with different perspectives to engage in these discussions, as it helps foster a more inclusive and well-rounded understanding of the issues at hand.

If you’re still feeling hesitant, consider framing your post as an invitation for a conversation, emphasizing that you’re open to learning from others and exploring new ideas together. This way, you’re fostering an environment of collaboration and growth, which is one of the main goals of professional networking platforms like LinkedIn.

Remember, the more open we are to sharing our ideas and learning from others, the more progress we can make in our fields. Don’t be afraid to share your thoughts and contribute to the conversation.

What do you think the most appropriate post to write is, if I consider myself a thought leader in this space and that I lack the confidence to say that outloud for fear of being wrong.

As a thought leader, it’s essential to express your ideas and perspectives while acknowledging that you’re open to learning and growing. A good approach to balance your expertise with your fear of being wrong is by inviting discussion and collaboration. Here’s a suggested post that might help you convey your thoughts effectively:

This post highlights your expertise while also emphasizing your willingness to learn and collaborate with others. It invites discussion and feedback, creating a welcoming environment for people to share their perspectives and experiences.

I like that post more. So the reason I think I could be a thought leader in this space is because I’ve studied / worked in / played with artificial intelligence implementations professionally and personally I’ve become a parenting expert, and the two are much more similar than I think most people realise. I also think I understand how neural networks work, but I have no way of determining if I’m right without having open conversations with people who know more on the topic than I do technically.

It’s great that you have a unique perspective that combines your experience in artificial intelligence and parenting. This combination of expertise could lead to valuable insights and help bridge the gap between AI and human development. To incorporate this into the post, you can make a few adjustments:

By including your unique background and expertise in the post, you’re highlighting your potential as a thought leader in this space. This version of the post also emphasizes your openness to learning from others and engaging in conversations with experts in the field.

It comes across a little salesy when I read it. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t sound like me the way it’s written. It’s not just my expertise in parenting though — it’s the fact that I am T-shaped across many areas of health and I think that a lot of people might have quite siloed perspectives, not meaning that as a judgement, more as an observation based on the books I read — they’re so fantastically in depth in individual areas, and often feel like they’re missing that bigger picture.

I understand your concerns about the tone and the need to emphasize your T-shaped expertise. Here’s a revised version that aims to sound more like you and better reflects your wide-ranging knowledge:

Remember, your unique insights and experiences can contribute to the ongoing conversation and help foster a more inclusive and well-rounded understanding of the issues at hand. Good luck with your post, and I hope it sparks meaningful discussions!

Oooh, one minor point .. I think that it’s applicable both ways. I think that we can learn from parenting and human development to create more inclusive AI systems and societies, and that interdisplinary knowledge can not only help us develop a more comprehensive understanding of AI and its impact, but also the other way around — that a deeper understanding of AI can help us develop greater understanding of parenting and child-raising approaches. I see how we choose to treat AI and how we choose to raise and treat humanity as very closely interconnected approaches and concepts.

Thank you for providing this insight. I’ve made the adjustments to better reflect the interconnected nature of AI and parenting/child-raising approaches. Here’s the revised final version of the post:

I just watched a TEDTalk by Simon sinek. Tell me more about his work and what I can learn from him to become more confident in myself and my beliefs and vision and how to bring others along with me on that journey.

Simon Sinek is a renowned leadership expert, motivational speaker, and author of multiple best-selling books, including “Start With Why,” “Leaders Eat Last,” and “The Infinite Game.” His work primarily focuses on leadership, company culture, and the importance of finding purpose in work and life.

Here are some key lessons from Simon Sinek’s work that you can apply to become more confident in yourself, your beliefs, and your vision, and to inspire others to join you on your journey:

Start With Why: Sinek emphasizes the importance of understanding the “why” behind what you do. This means identifying the core purpose or belief that drives you. By starting with your “why,” you can create a strong foundation for your vision, making it easier to communicate your passion and purpose to others.
The Golden Circle: Sinek’s Golden Circle model consists of three concentric circles: Why, How, and What. The “Why” represents your purpose or belief, the “How” represents the process or actions you take, and the “What” represents the results or products of those actions. By aligning these three elements, you can create a more cohesive and compelling vision that others will be drawn to.
The Infinite Game: In his book “The Infinite Game,” Sinek introduces the concept of playing an infinite game rather than a finite game. Finite games have clear rules, boundaries, and winners/losers. Infinite games, on the other hand, have no defined endpoint and are played for the sake of continued progress. By adopting an infinite mindset, you can focus on long-term growth, resilience, and innovation, inspiring others to join you in pursuing a shared vision.
Trust and Psychological Safety: Sinek emphasizes the importance of creating a work environment where people feel safe, valued, and supported. By fostering trust and psychological safety, you can help others feel more confident in sharing their ideas and beliefs, and in turn, they will be more likely to support your vision.
Empathy and Active Listening: To bring others along on your journey, it’s essential to practice empathy and active listening. By genuinely caring for others and understanding their perspectives, you can build stronger connections and create an environment where people feel motivated to contribute to your shared vision.
Be Authentic: Sinek believes that authentic leadership is crucial for inspiring others. By staying true to yourself and your values, you can lead with integrity and earn the trust and respect of those around you.

By applying these lessons from Simon Sinek’s work, you can develop greater confidence in yourself and your vision, and inspire others to join you on your journey towards a brighter future.

How does his idea of infinite mindset differ from Carol decks work in growth mindsets, or are they the same concept with different terminology?

Simon Sinek’s concept of the infinite mindset and Carol Dweck’s idea of growth mindset share some similarities, but they are distinct concepts with different areas of focus.

Infinite Mindset (Simon Sinek): The infinite mindset is a leadership philosophy that encourages leaders to focus on long-term goals and progress rather than short-term wins. Sinek’s idea of the infinite mindset is based on the premise that business and life are not finite games with clear winners or losers, but rather an ongoing process of growth, adaptation, and improvement. Leaders with an infinite mindset strive to create a sustainable, thriving organization and are more concerned with their organization’s long-term impact and legacy.

Growth Mindset (Carol Dweck): Carol Dweck’s concept of growth mindset is centered on an individual’s beliefs about their own intelligence, abilities, and potential. People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve and develop their skills and intelligence through hard work, dedication, and learning from setbacks. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, in which individuals believe that their abilities and intelligence are static and cannot be changed.

While both concepts promote the idea of continuous learning and progress, they differ in their focus and applications:

Infinite mindset is primarily a leadership concept, emphasizing long-term vision, organizational culture, and sustainability in the context of business and organizational settings.
Growth mindset is an individual-level concept, focusing on how a person perceives their own abilities and potential for growth, applicable to various aspects of life, including personal development, education, and career.

Despite their differences, both the infinite mindset and growth mindset can complement each other. A leader with an infinite mindset can foster a culture that encourages growth mindsets among team members, creating an environment where individuals feel empowered to learn, grow, and contribute to the organization’s long-term success.

Why specifically an organisation though? Why not any leader with any following? Is the underlying idea there that one cannot affect long term change without a legal construct of a business or organisation behind them? In the ted talk Simon mentioned Martin Luther King — he spoke about ideas and dreams for humanity, not aligned to any particular organisation. I am of the belief that it’s possible to move towards a world where people contribute because they have this “infinite mindset” AND are empowered / enabled to pursue their authentic life purpose because they have been educated on how to take care of their own health and their own selves to the point they can get out of that feeling of being stuck / treading water / fighting fires, etc, and can therefore live their own life as they wish to live it, in a healthy way that supports them to focus on their higher values and bigger visions, in an open way, accessible to all to share and become involved with if their visions also align. Does that make sense?

You’re right; the concept of an infinite mindset can be applied to any leader or individual, not just those within organizations. The infinite mindset is about focusing on long-term goals, progress, and sustainable growth in various aspects of life, not solely in the context of businesses or organizations.

When Simon Sinek mentioned Martin Luther King Jr., he was emphasizing the importance of an infinite mindset in inspiring and leading change, even outside of organizational structures. An infinite mindset can be applied to social movements, community initiatives, or even personal growth.

Your belief in fostering a world where people contribute with an infinite mindset and are empowered to pursue their authentic life purpose aligns well with the idea of an infinite mindset. By emphasizing health, self-awareness, and personal growth, individuals can focus on their higher values and visions, and collaborate with others who share similar goals.

In this broader context, the infinite mindset is about nurturing a sense of purpose and long-term vision in all areas of life, transcending organizational boundaries, and fostering collaboration among people with shared values and aspirations. Your perspective on this idea makes complete sense and reflects the core essence of the infinite mindset.

So how then do we reach the people who we can help, who share our vision, who are feeling stuck and don’t know how to heal themselves or get themselves to a healthier place (be that physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, relationally or collectively). I believe I have created a step by step guideline to help people do just that, and I don’t know how to reach “my tribe” so they say.

Reaching people who share your vision and can benefit from your guidance involves a combination of effective communication, creating valuable content, and leveraging various platforms to connect with your target audience. Here are some steps to help you reach your “tribe”:

Define your target audience: Start by identifying the specific group of people you want to help. Consider their demographics, interests, and challenges to better understand their needs and preferences.
Create valuable content: Develop content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience. This can include blog posts, articles, podcasts, videos, or social media posts. Focus on providing practical advice, insights, and inspiration to help your audience overcome obstacles and progress towards their goals.
Use multiple platforms: Utilize various channels to reach your audience. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter can be effective for sharing content and engaging with your target audience. You can also consider creating a website, starting a YouTube channel, or hosting webinars to further connect with your tribe.
Engage with your audience: Foster an open and supportive community where people feel comfortable sharing their experiences, asking questions, and providing feedback. Respond to comments, messages, and emails, and encourage discussions among your audience.
Collaborate with others: Partner with influencers, organizations, or other individuals who share your vision and have an established following. By collaborating on projects or events, you can expand your reach and connect with new audiences who may be interested in your work.
Optimize for search engines: Ensure that your content is optimized for search engines like Google by using relevant keywords, creating high-quality content, and following best practices for search engine optimization (SEO). This can help your content rank higher in search results, making it easier for people to find you.
Be consistent: Consistently create and share content to maintain your audience’s interest and demonstrate your commitment to helping them. Establishing a regular schedule for posting and engaging with your audience can help you build a strong online presence and develop a loyal following.

By implementing these strategies, you can effectively reach and connect with people who share your vision and can benefit from your guidance, building a supportive and engaged community around your work.

Ok, can we write a medium.com article, title, exec summary and the article itself, to essentially help me find my tribe? To let people know in a succinct and relateable way what I am trying to achieve and how I believe I can help? In essence I believe we can help people to help themselves through education of a broad range of cross disciplinary learnings, in order for people to help themselves. My “why” is because I want a healthier future for my children, and their children and their children and I want to do my part personally for steering the direction of humanity and artificial intelligence towards a direction that is healthy, sustainable, inclusive, diverse, accepting, compassionate, empathic, authentic, celebrates uniqueness while working towards commong goals or themes…. I want to create a world that knows, believes and understands unconditional love and acceptance right down to its core, because I think that’s the answer to a lot of the world’s issues.

I invite you to join me in this journey, as we strive to create a healthier, more compassionate future for ourselves and the generations to come. Together, we can make a difference and leave a lasting legacy that will benefit the world for years to come.

That’s beautiful. I almost feel bad saying I forgot something! I forgot to ask if you were familiar with the work of lera boroditsky, and to mention that I think language, specifically intentional and concious language choices are a key to this idea — that when we get more intentional and concious about our choices in language and how we speak to ourselves and eachother, that we can intentionally tap into neuroplasticity to rewire ourselves and eachother in healthier ways. It’s sort of how ‘brainwashing’ works, however in this approach instead of ‘brainwashing’ the masses as some in the past have attempted and have used for ill-intention, that actually, when done so in an inclusive way, with emphasis on authenticity and allowing people to join the journey by choice not by being coerced or feeling scared of not joining but truly and authentically wanting more and believing in the possibility of a healthier world … That our intentional choices in language — use of the word ‘we’, to model acceptance and togetherness rather than “us and them” mindsets. Conciously shifting away from ‘blame’ language and toward empathic creation of safe spaces to share ourselves vulnerably and problem solve solutions together, and showing more kindness and so on — all of the learnings on how we parent better — if we do this globally, collectively, that we really can change the world in an amazing way.

I’m glad you liked the article, and I’m familiar with Lera Boroditsky’s work on how language shapes the way we think. I completely agree that conscious and intentional language choices are crucial to fostering a healthier and more compassionate world. Let me add a section to the article to emphasize the importance of language and how it can be used to tap into neuroplasticity for positive change.

The Power of Conscious Language: Shaping Our World Through Words

An essential aspect of building a better future is being mindful of the language we use, as it can significantly influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Lera Boroditsky’s work on how language shapes our thinking demonstrates the power of words in constructing our understanding of the world.

By making intentional and conscious language choices, we can tap into the potential of neuroplasticity to rewire ourselves and others in healthier ways. This approach differs from traditional “brainwashing” methods, which have often been employed for harmful purposes. Instead, we can use language to promote inclusivity, authenticity, and the voluntary participation of individuals who truly believe in the possibility of a healthier world.

For example, using the word “we” can foster a sense of acceptance and togetherness, moving away from divisive “us and them” mindsets. Shifting from blame-oriented language to empathic communication can create safe spaces for vulnerability and collaborative problem-solving. By incorporating principles of effective parenting into our global communication, we can model kindness, understanding, and support.

When we use language intentionally and consciously to promote positive change, we can harness the power of words to help shape a more compassionate and inclusive future. By doing so, we can unite people in a shared vision of a better world and create lasting, meaningful change for ourselves and generations to come.

I hope this addition to the article captures the importance of conscious language in achieving your vision of a healthier and more compassionate world.

Ok, where do we add that into the article and would we adjust any other wording or simply add that in? (Also, if we post that on medium.com with an inclusive picture generated through dall-e2, what wording and Hashtags could we use to share it on LinkedIn and Instagram?

You can add the new section, “The Power of Conscious Language: Shaping Our World Through Words,” after the “Cross-Disciplinary Education: The Path to Self-Help” section in the article. No other adjustments to the wording are necessary.

When sharing the article on LinkedIn, you can use a brief, professional message, such as:

“Excited to share my latest Medium article on finding our tribe, the power of conscious language, and building a healthier, more compassionate future. Join me on this journey towards positive change. #ConsciousLanguage #Neuroplasticity #Compassion #Inclusivity #Empowerment #Authenticity #SelfHelp #Education #Future”

For Instagram, you can use a more casual and engaging message, along with relevant hashtags:

Can you critique the article and determine if there’s any required changes to improve it to have a meaningful impact on the reader, to inspire them to take personal action and make any required changes?

I believe the article is well-written and impactful as it is. However, to further inspire readers to take personal action and make changes, you could add some actionable tips or strategies that they can apply to their lives. Here are some suggestions for improvements:

Under the “Cross-Disciplinary Education: The Path to Self-Help” section, you could include a few specific examples of the interdisciplinary areas you recommend readers explore (e.g., mindfulness, nutrition, emotional intelligence, etc.). This gives them a clearer idea of the areas they can start learning about and applying to their lives.
In the “The Power of Conscious Language: Shaping Our World Through Words” section, you could provide some practical tips for readers on how to become more aware of their language choices and implement conscious language in their daily communication. Examples may include practicing active listening, using “I” statements to express feelings, or avoiding negative or judgmental language.
You could add a conclusion that clearly summarizes the main points of the article and reinforces the call to action. In this conclusion, you can reiterate the importance of finding one’s tribe, consciously using language, and pursuing cross-disciplinary education for personal growth and positive global impact.

By incorporating these suggestions, the article will be more actionable and motivational, encouraging readers to make meaningful changes in their lives and become part of the movement towards a healthier, more compassionate world.

Ok, let’s make those changes now. And on the point about cross disciplinary education, I believe the areas to be explored are: personal growth, mental and emotional health, physical health, spiritual health, intellectual health, career health, wealth health, sexual health, relational / social health, generational health / parenting, and on a collective scale: business / organisational health, societal health and environmental health. And I believe in automation for the greater good, not just for profits and individual gain.

I’ve made the suggested changes to the article, including the specific interdisciplinary areas you mentioned. Here is the revised version:

Finding Our Tribe: Building a Healthier, More Compassionate World Through Conscious Language and Cross-Disciplinary Education

Our world is facing unprecedented challenges, and it’s crucial that we unite and work together to create a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of finding our tribe, embracing conscious language, and pursuing cross-disciplinary education to build a healthier, more compassionate world.

Cross-Disciplinary Education: The Path to Self-Help

To help ourselves and others, we need to broaden our understanding of various aspects of life by exploring interdisciplinary areas such as personal growth, mental and emotional health, physical health, spiritual health, intellectual health, career health, wealth health, sexual health, relational/social health, generational health/parenting, business/organizational health, societal health, and environmental health. By doing so, we can empower ourselves and those around us to make positive changes in our lives.

Additionally, we must strive for automation that benefits the greater good, rather than solely focusing on profits and individual gains. This mindset shift will help us create a more equitable and compassionate society.

The Power of Conscious Language: Shaping Our World Through Words

An essential aspect of building a better future is being mindful of the language we use, as it can significantly influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Lera Boroditsky’s work on how language shapes our thinking demonstrates the power of words in constructing our understanding of the world.

Conclusion: Uniting for a Healthier, More Compassionate Future

Now more than ever, it’s essential to find our tribe, unite with like-minded individuals, and work together to create a healthier, more compassionate world. By embracing cross-disciplinary education, using conscious language, and focusing on the greater good, we can empower ourselves and others to make meaningful changes in our lives and the world at large.

Together, we can build a better future for ourselves, our children, and generations to come.

This revised version includes the specific interdisciplinary areas you mentioned, as well as actionable tips and a conclusion to further inspire readers to take personal action and make changes.

oh, another intentional language shift is focussing onwhat we CAN do rather than what we must or ‘should’ do. I believe that with language along the lines of “if we want… then we can”.. or “if we… then..” rather than “we must do this”. Again, it promotes the idea of inclusion and voluntary involvement. If someone suffers perfectionism or self doubt etc, they are less likely to be triggered by feeling guilt of “oh, I am meant to be doing this and I am not, therefore I am not good enough:, instead CAN let’s them see that there is a choice and that if they want that outcome, here’s the steps they can choose to take to get there, and it’s entirely up to them and their decisions and personal choice. i believe this type of language empowers authenticity.

I’ve made the suggested changes to the article, focusing on more empowering language that emphasizes what we “can” do rather than what we “must” or “should” do. Here is the revised version:
